CEO Letter

Several important milestones have been achieved during the quarter. Our fleet has grown, and new assets has been brought into commercial operations.

Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV)

We took delivery of our second SeaRaptor, called Bravo early in the quarter. It has already completed ultra-deep water survey work.

We also took delivery of our new Hugin 6000 system that smoothly started up its long-term project on September 1'st and is now at work on a 6 + 6-month project in international waters.

Unmanned surface vessel (USV)

During the summer we took delivery of our Argus USV. It was commissioned for operations after careful tuning and setup work. The commercial project started in late October. The project execution and data quality were very good. This lays the foundation for our first autonomous surface vessel going forward. Introducing such a complex new system requires careful planning and risk mitigation activities. It has taken longer time and required more engineering work than expected to qualify all systems and tuning the onboard sensors and components. Nevertheless, we are satisfied with the results and the quality we now offer to our customers.

Subsea vessel

We entered into a 5-year bareboat contract for the vessel Argeo Searcher in early October because we saw the need for a vessel meeting our operational requirements. The combination of Searcher, our own AUVs and the possible addition of onboard ROV's makes this a very attractive multi-purpose operational platform for subsea operations. This allows us to extend our scope and at the same time secure healthy margins in key markets.

Engineering projects

The development of new sensors is going according to plan. We have completed our LISTEN EM sensors and are preparing for the first installation of the new WHISPER EM sensors in Q1 2023.

The Argeo SCOPE (previously Digital Ocean Space) software platform reached an important milestone when it was released as a commercial product. We are now onboarding Pilot Customers (PC) in Q4 2022. Argeo SCOPE will be our data and analysis platform from 2023 and onwards.

Markets

We have succeeded in establishing and qualifying Argeo in our most important geomarkets. Consequently, we are now frontrunners for several large projects. Only in South America Argeo's current project pipeline for 2023 is exceeding 300 MNOK and a majority of these projects are close to award. In our other geomarkets our pipeline is smaller but steadily increasing and where some potential projects are spilling into 2024. Our focus is to further solidify our contract backlog from 2023 onwards and at the same time aiming to include some opportunistic acquisitions projects, DaaS/Multi Client opportunities, to maximise profits and fill in gaps.

Finances

Financially we expect to be EBITDA positive in the second quarter of 2023 and we are targeting an EBITDA for next year at 50 MNOK or higher. This target is based on award of the projects we are currently negotiating. Larger contracts expected to be awarded will start up during first quarter of 2023 and our operational platform will provide satisfactory margins going forward. We expect only a slight improvement in the fourth quarter, mostly contributed by full utilization from the Hugin 6000 project.

We see a strong development in the offshore energy sector and this industry remains to be our focus market the near future. Furthermore, the deep-sea mineral (DSM) market is showing very positive dynamics and we may see increased demand from 2023 and onwards.

Market review

Europe, Africa, and Middle East

The SeaRaptor Bravo are planned for a project In the EURO sone in December, but it is still uncertain if this will be moved into early 2023. The Argeo Searcher has started its conversion project in the Middle East and is expected to arrive Las Palmas Mid-December for final installation of Argeo systems and technologies. Argeo Searcher is planned to start a series of projects in the North Atlantic from January until late Q1-2023

South America geomarket status

During the quarter we suffered a commercial setback. One project where Argeo was subcontracting was lost, and another substantial project has been slightly delayed. The SeaRaptor Alpha was retained for the delayed project and will therefore be mobilized onboard the Argeo Searcher in December for planned starting projects in Brazil in Q2 and is expected to remain busy in the region for the remainder of 2023.

North America

West coast North America deep water survey market for floating offshore wind is materializing and new tenders are in preparation. The number of new Deep Sea Mineral campaigns are in final stage of negotiation where we expect positive results. East coast is mostly O&G related subsea inspection and brownfield survey work. Given the activities in the US are on the rise we expect to move either the SeaRaptor Bravo or the Hugin 6000 system to the US market sometime H2 2023.

Positive dynamics in the minerals market

Earlier in October, the Norwegian government (following the process outlined in the Seabed Minerals Act) passed an important milestone in the process of a potential "Opening of areas for mineral activities" – the Impact Assessment was presented for the public consultation – a prerequisite step before deciding. The result of this process could be opening of Norwegian EEZ for mineral exploration licensing rounds starting in 2023.

The total area considered for DSM activities is 592 500 sq.km, of this, roughly 320 000 sq.km (55%) is considered for opening now. Hence, we are estimating a business potential exceeding 2 billion USD (survey data acquisition, sampling, and analysis) over the next 5-10 years. NPD together with Norwegian universities has investigated roughly 12 000 sq.km of the area under assessment since the beginning of their research cruises and the results from NPD are recently made public and now being imported into our digital platform Argeo SCOPE (previously Digital Ocean Space) for detailed analysis for potential exploration along with focused data acquisition projects. Argeo's AUV's trimmed with our patented Electromagnetic (EM) sensors for DSM will be in pole-position in Norway's post O&G exploration business.

Company update

HSEQ

Another quarter with no reportable HSE incidents.

The organisation is continuing to work on establishing robust systems to manage quality, health, safety and the environment. We have seen our technical content and quality management system; EDGE go live which will be another important tool for knowledge sharing and technical support in Argeo.

Work is also progressing towards ISO certification of our management system. The aim is still Q1 2023, and an increased focus has been put on the ISO 9001 standard so that we, in the best way, comply with the expectations in the industry.

Operational update

In the quarter Argeo took delivery of our second SeaRaptor 6000 system. The SeaRaptors first ultra-deep water project was planned and executed during the summer to acquire important data and at the same time initiate full depth qualification of the system prior to the more complex deep water projects coming. Preparing the Argeo Argus USV in cooperation with our engineering staff from Argeo Robotics for the coming projects involving Argus and Argeo Remote was an important work process after taking delivery of this advanced system late in Q2. Supporting both AUV's and USV's involved crew training and preparation for data deliveries and operational procedures ensuring compliance with our HSEQ standards and management system implemented earlier in the year.

Other points of note:

  • Zero recordable HSE incidents
  • Enterprise Asset Management system live
  • Havian system for project monitoring and performance management rolled out and tested successfully on USV project
  • Preparing additional containerised Operations capacity and setting up remote operations centre (Argeo Remote) at head office

Marketing and communications

During Q3 Argeo continued strategic networking within the international energy industry by participating and presenting at events such as Rio Oil and Gas in Brazil, ONS (Offshore Northern Seas) in Norway and Norwep's delegation conference for Business Opportunities in Angola. Argeo also presented the company and met with industry professionals and investors at the annual Pareto Securities' Energy Conference in Oslo.

Furthermore, Argeo developed a brand-new company website during the quarter, enabling more seamless communication of our products and services within our designated markets.

People & Culture

In Q3 we have focused on our goals for our culture. We have met our goal of 50% of managers having completed HSE for managers and we are hoping to have 100% completion by the end of Q4. We rolled out the Argeo values in the Town Hall meeting in September. We are working on integrating our values into our goals, strategy, and communication. At the end of Q3 Argeo counted 50 full time employees.

Technology update

Following successful tests on Argeo LISTEN for pipeline inspections in Q2 (23), the system is now installed on both SeaRaptor AUVs. Acquired data using the system has proven that Argeo LISTEN provides robust and repeatable data that we believe will be invaluable for asset integrity assessment going forward. Together with Argeo SCOPE, our high-performant visualization platform, Argeo LISTEN implemented on AUVs is a gamechanger for pipeline inspections.

Argeo WHISPER, an electromagnetic source system for AUV and ROVs has now reached Technical Readiness Level 5, and installation of the first system on an AUV is scheduled for Q1 2023. Argeo WHISPER will be a superior tool in detecting conductive objects buried beneath the seafloor and opens up new larger market segments with mandatory surveys for decommissioning on existing fields, verification of removed objects surveys and UXO surveys.

Our digital platform Argeo SCOPE has been through significant improvements over this quarter, especially on visualizing high resolution survey, pipeline inspection data. The platform is especially designed to cope with large amount of processed and interpreted data for a project area over its lifetime. The powerful 3D visualization capabilities provide resolutions from satellite view down to high resolution images with details in the order of mm and cm. Argeo is currently in dialogue with some of the world's largest O&G companies regarding implementation of Argeo SCOPE into their work processes.

Argeo SCOPE

Fast and performant 3D visualization of vast amounts of ocean space data in the cloud, supporting a collaborative data sharing and interpretation workflow.

Seamless data fusion from seabed measurements such as:

  • Synthetic aperture sonar (SAS)
  • Sub-bottom profiler (SBP)
  • Backscatter
  • Bathymetry
  • EM intensity along pipelines using Argeo Listen
