Our ceo: sidsel lindsø
“I dreamed of creating a team of highly skilled earth scientists and engineers, who would work closely together, building on each other’s strengths, have each other’s backs and strive for the high performance that can only be achieved by a team.
Over the years we have repeatedly demonstrated, together with clients, that this way of working delivers high quality that goes above our clients expectation. There is a deep satisfaction in this.”
our journey – so far!
Our story started during the summer of 2016 when the downturn in the market hit hard. We knew that in a cyclic market geologists would be needed in the future, so we took the opportunity to bring a team of geoscientists and engineers together and began training as a sports team.
Creating a highly motivated team
Funded only by 2 million NOK in investments we set sails with a team in operation in January 2017 to test how a different approach in leadership philosophy could create a highly motivated team delivering top performance inspired by what we see in sports athletes.
Unleashing the potential
The ambition level was high already from the start: we wanted to prove that the high performance team approach where people thrive and unleash their potential would create positive financial results, in the hope that others might be inspired by our way of doing things.
An unexpected challenge
The first year went very well, and the earnings we made then helped us survive the second year, where a an unexpected drop in oil price in November 2017 stopped all ongoing sales and we ended up with a significant loss. This caused a rather stressful situation in the beginning of the third year, but luckily more clients saw our potential and the year ended good.
2020: Staying alive!
We saw growth and new clients in early 2020, but like everybody else in our business arena we lost all client work in days when the combined OPEC+//Covid-19 set in. Clients and supporters in the network were caring and kind to keep us alive during 2020, enabling us to be ready to hit the ground running in 2021.
Full speed ahead
Since then, clients have now fully understood our concept and how a fast moving adaptable team of up to 25 people working well together can fast track their business opportunities.
