PGS is awarded two framework agreements by Equinor.

• One two-year framework agreement for 4D monitoring surveys on the Norwegian continental shelf. Equinor can extend this framework agreement by exercising additional two two-year options. The agreements can also be applied for the UK continental shelf.
   
• One specific framework agreement for 4D monitoring surveys at the Gullfaks field. The agreement comprises an exclusive right to acquire up to three surveys prior to 2031.

PGS is scheduled to acquire two 4D GeoStreamer monitoring surveys in 2021 over Fram and Tordis/Vigdis fields. The first survey is scheduled to start in June 2021, and the total duration for the two 2021 projects is estimated at around 2.5 months.

“We are very pleased to be awarded these important framework agreements. We operate in a cyclical industry with low visibility, and longer-term contracts improve our order book and financial predictability in a challenging seismic market. An important part of our strategy is to maintain leadership in the production 4D segment. The confidence Equinor shows by awarding us these frame agreements confirms our strong position in the 4D market, the reliability of our Ramform vessels and the superior data quality provided by our GeoStreamer technology,” says Rune Olav Pedersen, President & CEO in PGS.
