EMGS: Update on multi-client Letter of Intent
Reference is made to the stock exchange notification published by
Electromagnetic Geoservices ASA ("EMGS" or the "Company") on 22 February 2019,
announcing that the Company had received a multi-client letter of intent with an
approximate value of USD 8 million.
EMGS and the customer, Equinor Energy AS ("Equinor"), has today entered into
final contracts under the letter of intent. The final contracts are in
accordance with the terms of the letter of intent, as described in the 22
February 2019 stock exchange announcement, and includes both licensing of
Barents Sea, Norwegian Sea and North Sea data from the Company's existing multi-
client library, as well as prefunding for a new multi-client acquisition in the
North Sea.
Of the combined gross contract value of approximately USD 8 million, the Company
expects to recognise approximately USD 7 million of revenue in the first quarter
of 2019.
With these contracts, the Company's liquidity situation is materially improved.
The Company is continuing its efforts to secure other material late sales
opportunities.
CEO of EMGS, Bjørn Petter Lindhom, comments:
"EMGS is very proud of the confidence vote these multi-client contracts
represents and exited that Equinor chooses to license data from the North Sea
and the Norwegian Sea as well as committing to prefunding a new multi-client
survey in the North Sea. This shows, in our view, that CSEM provides valuable
information to operators in all areas of the NCS."
