OYO Geospace Announces Letter of Intent with Statoil for Seabed Seismic System
September 04 2012 - 6:34PM
Business Wire
OYO Geospace (NASDAQ:OYOG) today announced that it has accepted
a non-binding letter of intent with the international energy
company Statoil to provide 600 kilometers of seabed seismic
reservoir monitoring system for the Snorre and Grane fields on the
Norwegian continental shelf. Under the letter of intent, Statoil is
contractually obligated to pay OYO Geospace $2.5 million for
certain pre-award work related to a potential final contract. The
final contract, if it is awarded in October 2012 contingent on
partner approval, as the letter of intent anticipates, would result
in total revenue of approximately $160 million over a three-year
period.
The letter of intent is cancellable by Statoil at any time prior
to the execution of definitive contract documentation. At this
time, there can be no assurance that definitive contract
documentation will be agreed and entered into, or that OYO Geospace
will receive the benefits of the proposed contract.
OYO Geospace designs and manufactures instruments and equipment
used by the oil and gas industry in the acquisition and processing
of seismic data as well as in reservoir characterization and
monitoring activities. The company also designs and manufactures
equipment and film for the thermal printing industry worldwide.
