  • Capital expenditures were kept at a low level in 2019.
  • Cash flow improved, and PGS reduced net interest-bearing debt by more than $100 million in 2019 and increased the liquidity reserve by approximately $50 million.
  • PGS completed the sale of Ramform Sterling to JOGMEC, including a service agreement of up to 10 years with annual renewals.
  • Following sale of the Ramform Sterling, Ramform Vanguard was successfully re-introduced to maintain the operated 3D fleet size of eight vessels.
  • PGS also initiated a digital transformation process and entered into an agreement with Google Cloud as the Company’s preferred cloud provider.
  • Early 2020, PGS completed a refinancing of its 2020 and 2021 debt maturities combined with a $95 million equity raise. The refinancing extended the maturity of the Company’s revolving credit facility and term loan to 2023 and 2024.
