The Thai Litigation Criminal Claim Leading to the Compromise Agreement Included Reference to an Unanswered “Open Letter to the PGS ASA Board of Directors.” The PGS ASA General Counsel, Lars Mysen, signed-off on the Thai Claim (s). PGS ASA Board of Directors (of a Norwegian Company) are the Plaintiffs
PGS ASA/John Francas,
This is acknowledgement that I received, by e-mail, the Notice of breach of Compromise Agreement, dated 23 April 2020, (the “Thailand Extortion”)
The Thailand Extortion does not reference a physical address for legal correspondence, but only an e-mail address (Clause 3). PGS ASA / John Francas were notified 3 July 2019 that I was not residing in Thailand. Why has PGS ASA delivered firm copies of legal document to an address in Thailand?
Would you please send me notarized copies of the referenced Thailand Extortion that Steven D. Kalavity signed?
Also, please send details and legal credentials of the agent(s) representing PGS Exploration (UK) Limited for PGS ASAs claims in the USA/Texas.
Please send me acknowledgement and responses to the e-mails sent to PGS ASA agents following the delivery of the summons (13 September 2018) and the signing of the Thailand Extortion ([11 November 2018 “Compromise Agreement”]).
As you know, I was employed by PGS ASAs USA subsidiary in Houston, Texas.
I would also like to receive copies of the employment contracts signed between myself and PGS Exploration (UK) Limited in 2010 and 2013 (advised by legal firm Watson, Farley & Williams (the “UK Legal Contracts“).
What is the status of the UK Legal Contracts in context to the Thailand Extortion? Please also send me confirmation of PGS ASA employee, Gareth Jones, legal agency (employer) from 2013 – 2020?
Please send a copy of my PGS ASA personnel file, which is the predicate behind all my online publications.
The Thailand Extortion is being prosecuted on behalf of PGS Exploration (UK) Limited directors, Gottfred Langseth, Christin Steen-Nilsen, and Rune Olav Pedersen. Please correct me if I am wrong, but PGS ASAs USA subsidiary, Petroleum Geo-Services, Inc., Houston, Texas has directors Gottfred Langseth, Christin Steen-Nilsen and Jon Erik Reinhardsen, who have legal fiduciary responsibilities for PGS ASA USA matters?
Similarly, please send credentials and authorization of PGS Exploration (UK) Limited agent Duensing – Kippen to draft legal agreements for adjudication in the Federal Courts of Harris County, Texas, USA.
PGS ASA has not yet acknowledged my submitted [subject access request] 15 April 2020. Please do so, and I would also like PGS ASA to respond to subsequent e-mail correspondence, especially the e-mail sent 22 April 2020.
Please acknowledge receipt of this e-mail, as well.
Regards,
SDK
