Come hear an international perspective on the impact of the new, regional, multi-client seismic survey – one  of the largest programs globally – ongoing in offshore Newfoundland  & Labrador, and the recent Flemish Pass discoveries.

Noia’s 2014 AGM, taking place on Thursday, February 6 at the Delta St. John’s Hotel, will feature Rod Starr, Senior VP Western Hemisphere with TGS Inc., as keynote speaker.
