EMGS makes interim chief executive officer permanent

Electromagnetic Geoservices (EMGS), a Norwegian geophysical services company, has given its interim chief executive officer a permanent role.

EMGS said on Friday that interim CEO Bjørn Petter Lindhom was named as the permanent CEO of the company.

Eystein Eriksrud, chairman of EMGS, stated: “The board of directors is very pleased with the strong positive developments in EMGS. […] the company has secured a number of important awards, including the LOA for a $73 million proprietary acquisition contract for Pemex and the $24 million acquisition contract in south-east Asia.

“The board of directors is very pleased to make Lindhom’s appointment permanent and look forward to continuing to work together with him and his management team.”
