Could be the end of an era
Yesterday, news reports emerged suggesting that the Biden administration will move forward with the ban of leases on federal land as early as next week. The reports also suggested that it could block offshore oil and gas leasing, which could hit seismic demand overnight, although this is still subject to uncertainty. Out of our coverage, TGS has the highest exposure to the US, and would likely be hit the most. Although this should have a limited immediate impact on the oil market, we see it as a small positive for producers outside of the US, longer term.CGG is a global participant in the geophysical seismic industry.
