The Q4 2017 vessel statistics includes eight vessels. In total, the
Company had 116 streamers available in the market. The high share
allocated to Stacked/Standby is primarily due to winter
warm-stacking* of two vessels, in accordance to PGS strategy. All
cold-stacked* vessels are excluded from the statistics.
PGS will release its Q1 2018 financial results on
Thursday April 26, 2018, at approximately 8:00 am Central European
Summer Time (CEST). A corresponding presentation is scheduled for
09:00am CEST the same day.
*The term "cold-stacked" is used when a vessel is
taken out of operation for an extended period of time. Costs are
reduced to a minimum, with the vessel preserved for a long idle
time, all or most in-sea seismic equipment removed from the vessel,
and typically the crew required to operate the vessel is
terminated. Use of the term "warm-stacked" means that the vessel is
temporarily taken out of operation with streamers and all other
equipment necessary to perform seismic operation still onboard the
vessel and the crew required to operate the vessel can be sourced
with some delay.
