Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 1999 filed on Form 10-KSB.

and, when dilutive, common shares issuable for stock options, warrants and

NOTE D   DIVIDENDS

Holders of the Company's Series C 8% Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock
will receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors of the
Company, dividends at a rate of 8% per annum.  The dividends are payable semi-
annually during January and July of each year.  At March 31, 2000, cumulative
dividends of approximately $444,000 were in arrears.


ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
TGC Industries, Inc. ("TGC") reported revenues of $358,538 and a net loss,
before dividend requirements on preferred stock, of $(686,205) for the three
months ended March 31, 2000, compared with revenue of $2,610,147 and income,
before dividend requirements on preferred stock, of $274,977 for 1999.  Loss
per common share, on a  diluted basis, was $(.35) for the first quarter of
2000,  compared with income of $.06 per common share for 1999.  TGC was
awarded approximately $3.5 million in new contracts during the first quarter
of 2000.  However, the majority of these contracts were awarded to TGC late in
the first quarter.  As a result, TGC was unable to generate sufficient
revenues to be profitable during the first quarter of 2000.

The Company has substantially reduced its break-even levels to increase its
competitiveness.  In addition, there has been a recent increase in seismic
bidding activity and management is aggressively pursing contract
opportunities.  As of April 28, 2000, TGC has been successful in adding an
additional $3.8 million in new business for a total backlog of $7.3 million
and the outlook seems to be progressively improving as our customers regain
their confidence in the oil and gas marketplace.

Management believes that the geophysical services market conditions should
improve in 2000 and seismic services should be in greater demand due to the
recent increase in levels of seismic bidding activity and the prospect of oil
and gas prices remaining at or near their current levels.  Though there can be
no assurance, such conditions should enable the Company to secure contracts
and improve its  performance

Non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization were $408,272 in the first
quarter of 2000 compared with $492,404 for the same period of 1999.

At December 31, 1999, TGC had net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $5,600,000 available to offset future taxable income, which
expire at various dates through 2019.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Cash of $(420,096) was (used in) operations for the first three months of 2000
compared with cash provided from operations of $601,551 for the same period of
1999.  The funds used in operations during the first three months of 2000 were
primarily attributable to the net loss before non-cash depreciation and
amortization charges and an increase in accounts receivable of $1,245,715.
Cash used in investing activities for the first three months of 2000 was  for
the replacement of equipment in the amount of $48,699.  Cash used in financing
activities for the first three months of 2000 was for principal payments of
debt obligations in the amount of $214,550.

Working capital decreased $400,934 to $691,457 from the December 31, 1999
balance of $1,092,391.  The Company's current ratio was 1.4 to 1.0 at March
31, 2000, compared with 2.3 to 1.0 at December 31, 1999.  Stockholders equity
decreased $686,206 from the December 31, 1999 balance of $3,493,612 to
$2,807,406 at March 31, 2000.   This decrease was attributable to the net loss
for the three months ended March 31, 2000, of $(686,205).

The holders of the Company's outstanding Series C 8% Convertible Exchangeable
Preferred Stock ("Preferred Stock"), voted at the Annual Meeting held May 11,
2000,to consent to a new series of Senior Convertible Preferred Stock("Senior
Preferred Stock") by the affirmative vote of the holders of over two-thirds
(2/3) of the issued and outstanding shares of Preferred Stock entitled to vote
thereon, voting as a class.  As a result of this action, WEDGE Energy
Services, L.L.C., ("WEDGE"), will then convert its 8.5% Convertible Debenture
into  Senior Preferred Stock.  This conversion will increase the equity
section of the balance sheet by approximately $2,580,869 as additional
preferred stock and decrease long-term debt by $2,500,000 and accrued
liabilities by approximately $80,869.

At May 1, 2000, one of the Company's two crews was employed.  The Company
anticipates that available funds, together with anticipated cash flows
