Presentation

I sez: "The Company is assessing opportunities to sell assets and adjust capacity. Such sales or stacking of vessels could expose the Company to impairment charges." Buying at the all time high and selling at all time low is not how you make money. The Arrow Seismic purchase was one fucked up transaction, which wiped out millions worth of equity. There was nothing good in the purchase.
Onshore seismic keeps losing money, PGS will probably have to eventually sell the division.
The longterm outlook for marine seismic sector is good, but the next couple of years are going to be very tough.
