The energy sector was volatile given uncertainty in the financial markets during the first quarter of 2023. Persistent high inflation has caused fears of further monetary tightening and thus an increased risk of economic recessions around the world. Recent bank failures have exacerbated market concerns. With this as a backdrop, we believe oil and gas companies will be targeted in their investment decisions.
We continue to experience strong activity in producing energy fields. Oil and gas companies are prioritizing investments which optimize existing infrastructure and investment activity is robust. This investment trend fits very well with our multi-client seismic assets, which are targeting active production areas in the North Sea and the Gulf of Suez. Nevertheless, although we see solid market fundamentals, timing of multi-client late sales is unpredictable. We should expect sales to be lumpy and this does not speak to the long-term underlying values and future sales potential.
The reprocessing of the Utsira ocean-bottom node survey in the North Sea is progressing according to schedule and cost. The new products will provide significantly improved subsurface imaging, which will be critical in making future drilling decisions in the area. The substantial uplift in the reprocessed data will not only provide a new revenue stream to the company but will also boost demand for the underlying data. It is a requirement for customers to own the underlying data set before they may acquire the reprocessed product.
In the first quarter we started recognizing revenues from the Utsira reprocessing project and this will continue at different amounts in the coming quarters throughout the reprocessing phase. For the quarter, reprocessing revenues represented USD 2.4 million. In addition, we have multi-client late sales from our existing portfolio.
In the Gulf of Suez, we expect a well to be drilled in Egypt's Northwest El Amal concession in the southern Gulf of Suez. The well, targeting the Yakoot structural trap in shallow water, follows the acquisition of the multi-client OBN seismic data in 2020. According to the operator, several other leads and prospects have been identified in the license, providing further upside potential.
For the investment portfolio, we report a gain of USD 0.8 million in the quarter. Dolphin Drilling commenced operations in Nigeria on its first one-year contract for the Blackford Dolphin. Following the completion of this contract, the rig will continue onto its second Nigeria contract with a duration of up to 485 days. The market for semisubmersible rigs is currently very tight and we expect to see strong demand from the oil companies.
Capsol Technologies is continuing to expand its footprint. During the quarter, the company's 12-month campaign with a major German energy producer was scheduled to commence. The company was also recently selected to conduct new feasibility and FEED studies for waste-to-energy facilities in Switzerland, Sweden and the United States. Capsol Technologies also expanded its service offering by introducing a
liquefaction unit that can be used in conjunction with the CapsolGo demonstration system. The company signed a rental and service contract for the delivery of this unit.
We are continuously evaluating potential investments and can take advantage of uncertain financial markets should value-adding opportunities arise. Our main objective is to increase shareholder value, and we will take a cautious but opportunistic approach to our investment portfolio.
In the first quarter, we announced the repurchase of 10.0 million shares. This was in addition to the 5.3 million shares we purchased in September 2022. Both these transactions were executed at prices significantly below the company's net asset value and were highly accretive to shareholders. We will continue to evaluate share repurchases going forward.
Cash net income for the period was USD 0.3 million and available liquid funds were USD 13 million. The company's net asset value was NOK 2.15 per share at the end of the quarter.

| 5.1.Multi-client | ||
| The seismic multi-client data business model is frequently the preferred way to access seismic data for petroleum exploration and production (E&P) companies. The seismic data is licensed by E&P companies to assist in the discovery and development of petroleum resources. The Group's return on investment from its multi-client library is seen through the life span of the data; from its early stage with revenues coming from the pre-funding by E&P companies during the execution of the program, through subsequent late sales after the seismic images are processed and available. |
||
| The Group's multi-client data is targeting near-field exploration, where production infrastructure is in place and where E&P companies need high-quality seismic data to unlock existing and new resources. In these production fields, oil and gas can be developed with lower cost, environmental impact and emissions. |

reprocessing project and a significant late sale to an existing client with a set of future milestone payments. We expect these agreements to provide significant cashflow for the company going forward. The Axxis/CGG project will provide a steady quarterly revenue stream, and the milestone payments will follow the slightly lumpy nature of multi-client late sales revenues.
With a sustained high oil price (in the range \$75-85 per barrel of oil equivalent), it is expected that both Norway and Egypt will continue to be considered highly attractive for new field developments and exploration expenditures by the E&P companies.
We expect the investment growth in exploration and development in our core areas to be durable and reinforced by the long-term demand outlook and supportive commodity prices.
The Utsira ocean bottom node multi-client survey is located to the west of the Utsira high in the Norwegian North Sea and covers an area of approximately 2,000 square kilometers of highly prospective acreage with high-definition 3D seismic ocean bottom node data.
The survey was acquired during 2018 and 2019 with support from AkerBP, Equinor and TGS. The Utsira area holds several important fields, including Edvard Grieg, Ivar Aasen, Balder, Gina Krog, Gudrun and Johan Sverdrup, along with a number of undeveloped discoveries and prospects. The data has extremely high sampling density. This helps our clients obtain new information and aids in making new discoveries previously unavailable with legacy broadband streamer data.
AkerBP and Equinor spudded two exploration wells in Q4 2022 to test prospects identifiable on the Utsira OBN data.
In the area to the west of the Utsira high, where the Utsira OBN survey is located, exploration activity has for decades been impeded by irregularly shaped intrusive bodies at shallow depths over large areas above the reservoirs and generate a signalto-noise problems that masks deeper reflection signals and inhibits the ability to derisk prospects. The presence of a thick layer of chalk just above the main reservoir level adds to the complexity. The geophysical response to this type of geological challenge often needs time to be understood and addressed, and it is common to work with seismic data sets over time and improve the seismic image through an iterative process.
CGG is currently reprocessing the Utsira survey together with Axxis and the main operators in the area. CGG's latest advances in OBN processing and imaging technology is already providing valuable insights into the data and subsurface, by including time-lag full-waveform inversion and reverse time migration technology.
The reprocessed product will substantially advance the Utsira OBN survey and better assist clients with existing petroleum production as well as new nearby reserves and resources and reservoir management. The project was started in December 2022, and the project will deliver a priority area in the third quarter of 2023 and final data for the complete survey in 2024. The project is running according to schedule and cost.
The Gulf of Suez is a mature petroleum basin which has been in production since the 1980s. The Western Desert and the Gulf of Suez are the two main oil producing areas in Egypt and has received considerable attention by Egyptian authorities in the context of energy security for the nation. Considerable investments will be required for Egypt to obtain a net balance in energy export vs imports, and we are seeing increased license round activity along with significant investment commitments by operators in the area.
Exploration in the Gulf of Suez has traditionally been impeded by complex geology and the presence of salt bodies that complicate seismic imaging. The Gulf of Suez multi-client data was acquired during 2019 with support from Neptune Energy and Schlumberger (WesternGeco) and covers an area of approximately 300 square kilometers. The multi-client survey was acquired in a hybrid survey configuration, combining high-density ocean bottom nodes with short 3D streamers for near-surface imaging. The multi-client area is near the Ramadan oil fields and several drilling campaigns are planned during the coming years.
There are currently two wells scheduled to be completed in 2023 that will be drilled based on information from the library data.
M&A activity in the region may generate change of control revenues.
The Group did not make any changes in the investments during the first quarter of 2023.
CO2 Capsol AS
The Group participated with USD 4.7 million (NOK 40.0 million) in CO2 Capsol AS' equity private placement in October 2021. The Group acquired 3,636,363 shares at a price of NOK 11.00 per share.
The shares of CO2 Capsol were listed on Euronext Growth in Oslo in December 2021. The closing share price at the end of March 2023 was NOK 14.50, which values the Group's investment at USD 5.1 million (NOK 52.7 million).
The Group invested USD 2.0 million (NOK 20.0 million) in Dolphin Drilling AS in September 2022. The Group acquired 1,714,568 shares at a price of USD 1.17 per share.
The shares of Dolphin Drilling were listed on NOTC in Oslo and were moved to Euronext Growth in October 2022. The closing share price at the end of March 2023 was NOK 13.834, which values the Group's investment at USD 2.3 million (NOK 23.7 million).
The Group participated in Arbaflame AS' convertible bond offering in July 2021, with a total investment of USD 3.4 million (NOK 30.0 million). In December 2021, the convertible bonds were converted to 3,920,294 common shares in the company.
Arbaflame had an equity private placement in November 2022 at NOK 0.83 per share. Based on this valuation, the estimated fair value of the Group's investment in Arbaflame was USD 0.3 million (NOK 3.3 million) at the end of March 2023.
The Group classifies its investments as non-current assets. The fair value of the total investments was USD 7.6 million (NOK 79.7 million) at the end of March 2023:
| USD 5.1 million |
|---|
| USD 2.3 million |
| USD 0.3 million |
Changes in fair value relative to value at the end of Q4 2022 resulted in a non-cash gain of USD 0.8 million in the first quarter 2023.
Volatility in the energy sector is expected to continue given the global market uncertainty. However, energy prices are believed to remain at historically high levels, and this will continue to drive capital investment by oil companies. The overhang of past underinvestment and the growing need for energy security will also contribute to increased capital expenditure.
Despite the robust industry fundamentals, the timing of multi-client late sales is unpredictable. We should expect sales to be lumpy and this does not speak to the long-term underlying multi-client values and future sales potential.
We will continue to evaluate new investment opportunities in line with our broader strategic focus. Distributions to shareholders or share repurchases will be considered to the extent this is believed to be the best allocation of capital.
The financial review is prepared according to the IFRS accounting principles.
Revenue for the first quarter of 2023 was USD 2.9 million compared to USD 1.4 million for the first quarter of 2022. The revenue in the first quarter 2023 is related to sales from the Utsira reprocessing with USD 2.4 million and with USD 0.5 million Utsira multi-client late sales from. Revenue from the first quarter 2022 was related to late sale from Utsira multi-client survey.
Changes in fair value of investments in the first quarter of 2023 were a non-cash gain of USD 0.8 million compared to a non-cash loss of USD 1.3 million in the first quarter of 2022.
