Songa Offshore SE : New Board of Directors
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
(Limassol, Cyprus, June 7th, 2014) Mr. Michael Mannering, President of the Rig
Management Group at Schlumberger, was today elected Chairman of the Board of
Directors of Songa Offshore SE (OSE: SONG) at the company's annual general
meeting today. Mr. Mannering, who succeeds Jens A Wilhelmsen, has more than 30
years experience from the international drilling industry. He is also Chairman
of Saxon Energy Services, a Canadian based international drilling contractor
with 95 land rigs, and sits on the board of Schlumberger Oilfield UK.
* Few, if any, have more extensive experience from international drilling than
Mike Mannering. With the re-election of current directors Steven James
McTiernan and Arnaud Bobillier, Songa now has a world-class board - perhaps
the most experienced of all comparable rig operators, says CEO Bjørnar
Iversen.
Songa's largest shareholder, Frederik Wilhelm Mohn, was elected as new Director.
In addition the board comprises Arne Blystad and Mrs Nancy Erotocritou who were
all/both re-elected.
Songa currently operates five mid deep water rigs, three of which are on
contracts with Statoil in the North Sea. In addition, the company has four
Category D rigs under construction in South Korea.
Songa is a company with great industrial potential. At the same time, we do,
however, also have a need to find good solutions for financing of the four new-
builds. In this context, the new board's extensive financial and operational
experience represent a significant strengthening of the company, says
Mr. Bjornar Iversen.
