“The second quarter was a good quarter for Magseis Fairfield, with capacity utilization and margins strengthening from the previous quarter. New contract awards after the end of the quarter have lifted our order backlog significantly and improved our near-term visibility, and we are focused on continued good project execution. Our customers are now moving their focus towards tendering for projects in 2022, which puts us in a position to extend our visibility further,” says CEO Carel Hooijkaas in Magseis Fairfield.
USD 178 million of the current backlog of USD 339 million is scheduled for delivery in 2021.
The market outlook for the OBN market continues to indicate double-digit growth for appraisal and development projects and single-digit growth for production projects from 2021 through 2025, with Magseis Fairfield uniquely positioned to offer OBN solutions in these growth markets.
“We completed our 100th OBN project during the second quarter and made this the first ever carbon neutral survey in the industry. This is one example of our differentiated approach, and proof that our technologies offer a clear market advantage. We will continue to integrate our technology stacks to deliver fit-for-purpose and differentiated solutions, which will provide us with a strong technology platform for the projects we see in pipeline towards 2025,” adds Hooijkaas.
Magseis Fairfield earlier this year established a Renewables unit and has invested in an XHR Renewables crew which is mobilizing on client tests in the North Sea over the summer. After the end of the quarter the company has signed an MOU to become part of the long-term Greensand CCS project in Denmark.
