SAExploration Announces $130 Million of New Projects in Alaska, Canada and Middle East
18 Novembre 2019 - 10:15PM
SAExploration Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: SAEX, OTCQB:
SXPLW), or SAE, today announced a combined $130 million of
new projects in Alaska, Canada and the Middle East.
The largest contract is valued at approximately
$112 million for onshore data acquisition services to be performed
on the North Slope of Alaska. The data acquisition services will be
conducted over the next three winter seasons, beginning in Q1 2020.
In association with this multi-year project award, SAE has entered
into a separate agreement with Geospace Technologies Corporation to
purchase 30,000 new state-of-the-art GCL recording channels. The
new Geospace channels will primarily be utilized during the
aforementioned multi-year contract in Alaska, but are also intended
to be utilized in other regions, when available, during the off
season.
The balance of the new project awards consists
of various contracts in Canada, slated to be performed primarily
during the upcoming Q1 2020 winter season, and a new research and
development pilot contract in the Middle East with two major
integrated oil companies, where thousands of next-generation
wireless sensors, dropped by a smart, automated fleet of drones,
will take high-density, 3D images of the subsurface.
Michael Faust, Chairman and CEO of SAE,
commented “We are very pleased to announce these new projects and
are grateful that our customers have displayed such confidence in
our ability to continue to deliver high quality products and
services safely and efficiently. I applaud the remarkable time and
effort our dedicated employees put in every day, and their
commitment to maintaining the operational excellence that secures
these types of projects. These new awards reinforce our belief that
the underlying fundamentals of the business are as strong as
they’ve been in years. Our backlog for the remainder of 2019 is
approximately $67 million and our contracted backlog for 2020 is
already at approximately $96 million. SAE is committed to deploying
cutting edge technology to further minimize our footprint and
reduce environmental exposure everywhere we operate. The purchase
of 30,000 small light-weight GCL recording channels, and the
automated drone deployment pilots, are strong examples of that
commitment to continuously raising the bar on health, safety and
environmental protection.”
