November 26, 2014

A profit warning from oil services company Thalassa (THAL) is the latest in a string of disappointments from the company, as covered extensively by IC columnist Simon Thompson.

With Thalassa's clients reining in spending, the company doesn't expect any of its order backlog, other than potential multi-client data sales, to be converted in the current year. Thalassa has also said it is only willing to proceed with a big Russian Arctic project if it gets written assurance from the US and/or UK authorities that it would not be breaching sanctions.

A warning related to the Russian project had been responsible for an earlier share price slide before the price fell further due to the controversial nature of a recent property deal.
