Segment* Revenues and Other Income for Q4 2021 are expected to be approximately
$174 million, compared to $172.8 million in Q4 2020.
Contract revenues ended at approximately $64 million ($20.8 million in Q4
2020). Segment MultiClient pre-funding revenues were approximately $24 million
($61.0 million in Q4 2020), and MultiClient late sales revenues approximately
$81 million ($70.1 million in Q4 2020).
The difference between As Reported revenues and Segment revenues relates to
MultiClient pre-funding where the As Reported MultiClient pre-funding revenues
for Q4 2021 are expected to be approximately $60 million ($95.9 million in Q4
2020).
“The winter season has become more challenging than expected. Our Q4 vessel
utilization was disappointing with approximately two idle vessels, negatively
impacting our seismic acquisition revenues. MultiClient late sales in Q4 shows a
strong seasonal uptick, but ended somewhat below our expectations. We believe
that the MultiClient market is gradually improving, but it is still
characterized by cautious spending and deferral of purchases by energy
companies,” says President & CEO Rune Olav Pedersen.
PGS routinely releases information about 3D vessel utilization after the end of
each quarter. In the table below is a summary of Q4 2021 vessel allocation:

The Q4 2021 vessel statistics includes six active 3D vessels. All cold-stacked**
vessels are excluded from the statistics. The comparative period Q4 2020 is
based on five vessels, while Q3 2021 is based on six vessels.
The Company provides this information based on a preliminary summary of Q4 2021
revenues. The Company has not completed its financial reporting and related
consolidation, review and control procedures, including the final review of all
sales against the established revenue recognition criteria. The estimates
provided in this release are therefore subject to change and the Q4 2021
financial statements finally approved and released by the Company may deviate
from the information herein.
PGS will release its Q4 2021 financial statements on Thursday January 27, 2022
at approximately 8:00am Central European Time (CET). A corresponding
presentation is scheduled for 09:00am CET the same day.
*For the purpose of Segment reporting, MultiClient prefunding revenues are
recognized on a percentage of completion (“POC”) basis, and the related
amortization of MultiClient library is based upon the ratio of aggregate
capitalized survey costs to forecasted sales. This differs from IFRS reporting
which recognizes revenue from MultiClient prefunding agreements and related
amortization at the “point in time” when the customer receives access to, or
delivery of, the finished data. For further description of the principles
applied, see details in the 2020 annual report under Segment disclosure page 68
and Alternative Performance Measures page 52. Adjustments between preliminary
IFRS and Segment revenue numbers for Q4 2021 are shown in the table below.
Revenue and Other Income, As Reported $210 million
Less Revenue for projects with IFRS performance obligations met $60 million
during Q4 for completed projects
Add Revenue recognized on a POC basis during Q4 $24 million
Segment Revenues and Other Income $174 million
**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 Company does not have available crew to
operate the vessel.
