"The second quarter has been exciting as the full fleet is now commercialised and the SeaRaptor Alpha has delivered excellent results on challenging projects and our first Hugin system have been working in Brazil acquiring data for a subsea installation project."

CEO Letter

The second quarter has been exciting as the full fleet is now commercialised and the SeaRaptor Alpha has delivered excellent results on challenging projects and our first Hugin system have been working in Brazil acquiring data for a subsea installation project. The first commercial project for our Hugin 6000 is nearing its execution phase and we have also had the pleasure of welcoming a new vehicle to our fleet as we proudly launched the first fully uncrewed, remotely supervised survey and inspection vehicle (USV), Argeo Argus, in June. Sanctioning of new projects in the offshore wind sector are growing at good rate and we believe Argeo Argus is the perfect match for developers in this market segment. The demand for mapping & inspection services is increasing and we expect that offshore wind will be an important business segment for years to come.

The offshore energy sector has demanded our principal focus in 2022 and the second quarter has intensified this focus for Argeo internationally. The market is largely under supplied for approved concessions and reported sanctioning of project for 2023 and we experience an upsurge in requests and tenders in our core markets. We experience that our clients are expecting more from us, requesting a longer and complete service, moving towards full subsea services. In the quarter we have also taken delivery of several new Argeo technology systems for qualification, testing and commercial introduction into the market. Our offices in the US and Brazil are now fully up and running, which is where we see the largest demand for our services presently.

From developing and testing to commercial execution During the quarter we have brought our first two AUV systems from delivery and acceptance testing into commercial production readiness. The SeaRaptor Alpha has had its first commercial introduction in April on the SVV Bjørnafjorden project with great success on a demanding project before starting commercial qualification of Argeo LISTEN, our first IMR sensor system on a pipeline in the Norwegian sector.

Market and outlook

In general we see a strengthening in the market for offshore energy services, inflated prices (rates) and tighter supply, vessels, assets, and personnel for our key geomarkets. The offshore energy sector is leading on the sanctioning with several new concessions in both greenfield O&G and Offshore Wind. We have seen this trend starting in the brownfield market with strong activity for IMR services. One of our larger (tender) projects has taken longer to finalize but is nearing final negotiation, additionally several new projects are entering into execution early Q3. Balancing assets for the right project with the right risk/reward ratio is important going forward, but I'm convinced this is an exercise familiar to the experienced management team of Argeo.

Highlights of the quarter

In March Argeo signed an agreement with Kongsberg Maritime for the purchase of a Hugin 6000 AUV (Autonomous Underwater Vehicle) for delivery early H2 2022. The follow-on commercial project is now firm and the AUV will commence operation in September

Following the delivery of the first SeaRaptor (Alpha) in Q1 a lot of work has been done to fully qualify and commercialize the system allowing the new vehicle and crew to start commercial production early in Q2 and after a short upgrade of our sensor system Argeo LISTEN ready for full scale IMR work in Q3.

In March, Argeo was awarded a contract comprising of AUV work for Statens Vegvesen (Norwegian Public Roads Administration) on the Bjørnafjorden E36 crossing with a contract value of 8.5 MNOK. The main portion of the project was completed end of April ahead of scheduled. The project was carried out using SeaRaptor Alpha and was very successful, providing the customer with high quality seabed and seismic data.

A combination of work at Utsira Nord for the MultiClient offshore wind project and commercial test of Argeo LISTEN Electromagnetic IMR sensors followed in May/June in addition to taking delivery of the second SeaRaptor system (Bravo).

The Argeo Argus USV (Autonomous Surface Vessel) was delivered late May and its commercialisation and qualification completed in June, the first data acquisition project is planned to start early Q3

As reported earlier in Q1, the deep-water SeaRaptor project had to be moved to early July due to vessel availability related to drydocking and was carried out using the SeaRaptor Bravo.

Argeo aims to transform the ocean space survey and inspection industry through robotics, sensor, and imaging technology. This is expected to provide an increase in data accuracy, detail, and collection efficiency, as well as a reduced CO2 footprint by reducing the need for large surface vessels. Argeo's markets are in infrastructure, offshore wind, oil & gas inspection as well as deep-water mineral exploration.

Market review

Strong market growth

New offshore sanctioning wave starting to build with Norway, South America and Asia being the front leaders. So far in 2022 offshore greenfield sanctioning have reached USD 70 Billion capex with a further 20 billion expected at year-end. Strong greenfield growth is expected for 2023, reaching USD 180 Billion. Nonsanctioned greenfield capex in Argeo's primary markets 2022-2026 (USD bln): South Americas (60), North America (30), Asia Pacific (45), Europe & Middle East (55)1. In addition to greenfield projects being sanctioned we see a significant upsurge in general activity in brownfields for IMR services and new concessions for Offshore Wind in traditionally O&G focused markets, this coupled with sharp increase in rates for services and provide a positive outlook for Argeo and proves our focus on establishing operations in our selected geomarkets

South America geomarket status

As a part of our geomarket strategy, we have now fully established Argeo do Brazil with our office in Rio de Janeiro.. South America is expected to be the largest and fastest-growing market for subsea systems in the years to come and the majority of the demand comes from Brazil due to its recent activities in deep-water and ultra-deep water, as well as decommissioning activities in mature fields. Argeo believes in having regional offices to facilitate close operations in key industrial areas. This builds strategic and long-term relationships, as well as in depth local industry know-how with our key customers.

North America

We see a strong North America market for subsea inspection and environmental surveys driven by several factors including growth in US offshore wind and continued requirements for subsea infrastructure survey in the Gulf of Mexico. This market is undergoing significant short-term growth as well as showing good long-term stability. There is a current under capacity in traditional survey services but also a growing requirement for the uncrewed and autonomous solutions that Argeo offers. We have established our US business, Argeo Inc., located in Houston, TX, to address these market opportunities.

Company update

HSEQ

A quarter with no reportable HSE incidents. Further work has been put into the development of our HSEQ management system and the building of a sustainable HSE culture founded on the principles and standards of ISO 45001 (Occupational health and safety) and 14001 (Environment).

The focus during the second quarter has been the roll out of the Risk module of our HSEQ Management system SIMPLI/QM365, enhance our processes and procedures to ensure they map our activities, establish the Work Environment Committee as well as a full review of our overarching policies (Health and Safety Policy, ESG Policy, Quality Policy and Substance Abuse Policy).

Work still remains and the focus going forward will be to further expand on our generic risk register, ensure that our emergency preparedness is strengthened and that we move one step closer to become ISO certified.

Operational update

SeaRaptor Bravo successfully completed an Ultra Deep-Water project. During the mission, the SeaRaptor acquired sonar, environmental and photogrammetry data at depths down to 5000 meters. During the summer, Argeo also launched its first fully uncrewed, remotely supervised survey and inspection vehicle, named Argeo Argus. The Argus USV (Uncrewed Surface Vehicle) will do advanced mapping and inspection services using robotics and autonomous ocean space technology for offshore and energy projects in water depths typically ranging from 2 to 200 meters.

  • Zero recordable HSE incidents
  • Completed Hugin 1000 commercial project in Brazil
  • High resolution seabed data acquisition at Utsira Nord using SeaRaptor Alpha
  • AUV project for Statens Vegvesen completed successfully and on time
  • Recruitment of highly skilled offshore and onshore personnel
  • Implementation of high-end EAM system for asset and logistics planning & tracking
  • Argeo Survey AS accepted as member of the International Marine Contractors Association (IMCA)

Commercial update

During the quarter we received a large number of new tender requests, mainly in the offshore energy sector. A positive sign is also increasing interest for our services supporting the growing deep water Marine Minerals sector. Existing and new customers are requesting Argeo to extend our capability and service value chain. We see this as a sign that our company is maturing and the tight supply in the market, coupled with and increased focus on suppliers to fulfil complete scope-of-work which we are ready to meet. Argeo has built a strong tender pipeline which we believe will materialize into commercial contracts. Balancing commercial contracts, assets and people for the right projects, with the right risk/reward ratio is important going forward, but I'm convinced this is an exercise familiar to the experienced management team of Argeo.

Marketing and communications

Argeo is steadily increasing its international reach and industry presence through strategic marketing campaigns and by participating and presenting at industry events such as the European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers (EAGE) conference in Madrid. We have also established a knowledge sharing platform for our clients and potential customers where we present technical talks and seminars presented by spearheads in our technical teams. Furthermore, Argeo launched its latest member of the Argeo asset family in June, The Argeo Argus USV.

People & Culture

Argeo is managing a careful organic growth in accordance with business development and operational requirements. This quarter we have strengthened our teams within IT, operations, and robotic technology development. As per 30.06.2022, Argeo had 49 employees. We have also signed an agreement for an HR Management system which will contribute to our adherence to GDPR while creating an effective and smooth experience for our employees.

Technology update

The development of Argeo Listen, was integrated onto the SeaRaptor and successfully tested over a pipeline offshore Norway. Argeo Listen is a game changing product for passive, and soon active, electromagnetic measurements that provides continuous examination of pipelines' conditions entirely contactless while the AUV is sailing at 3-4 kn speed. The system is a gamechanger for pipeline inspections. It replaces sparser contact measurements along the pipeline using an ROV. The pipelines can be buried and/or placed on the seafloor. Argeo Listen real-time processing capability can identify damages or weaknesses on the pipelines, and the damages can be closer examined during same operation. Hence, Argeo Listen enables detection of damages that may be missed during inspections with ROV. In addition to be a more reliable method, Argeo Listen will significantly improve the speed of pipeline cathodic protection inspections.
