Atle Jacobsen, Dolphin Group CEO, commented:
"There is strong market demand for Dolphin's marine
seismic services. High operational efficiency and
fleet utilisation, improved contract pricing and
strong Multi-Client sales from new projects, has
generated better than expected third quarter revenues
and profit."
"From day one, Dolphin has emphasised the importance
of building a strong internal geophysical and Multi-
Client business competence. This strategy works.
Today our Multi-Client seismic model is being
recognised by an increasing number new global clients
and governmental authorities. By successfully
initiating a senior unsecured bond loan of NOK 400
million, Dolphin has strengthened its financial
capabilities, secured the roll out of future strategy
and increased its ability to compete in global
markets."
