In December 2013, just prior their joining the UN Global Compact, PGS ASA illegally terminated a foreign worker whistleblower through using a fraudulent termination settlement agreement supported by uttered forged documents. PGS ASA bribed legal firm Watson Farley & Williams and SDK legal representation, Philip Landau, now with Landau Law to utter forged documents. These are crimes. General Data Protection Requirement (GDPR) Subject Access Request (SAR) submitted to PGS ASA by SDK 15 April 202015 April 2020 Google Search “pgs asa gottfred langseth” page 1 results. If the 5 December 2013 Contract between SDK and PGS ASA is still valid, why won’t PGS ASA invoke the Confidentiality non-disparagement terms and conditions to protect the financial interests of shareholders and PGS ASA employee and brand reputation?
This is why PGS ASA cannot stop SDK publications through legal litigation in the English courts. PGS ASA continues to defraud investors and other stakeholders by not invoking the Confidentiality terms and conditions of their employment contracts prohibiting parties from publishing disparaging content. PGS ASA takes no legal action under English law in order to deprive SDK his legal due process and avoid accountability for numerous crimes. PGS ASA engaged in health harming workplace bullying against SDK, a US citizen who they sponsored to work in England. PGS ASA lied to the UK Border Agency and intentionally withheld medical counseling and care from SDK to affect their illegal termination on false pretenses. PGS ASA also obviously lied to the UN Global Compact administrators. PGS ASA perverts the course of legal justice. and lies to everyone. STOP THE PGS ASA LIES and CORRUPT DIRECTION and MANAGEMENT!This Image is not a breach of the contract between SDK – PGS ASA Confidentiality terms and conditions of a contract governed by the laws of England prohibiting parties from publishing disparaging content about each other? PGS ASA does not invoke the terms and conditions to hide executive crimes. Demand PGS ASA protect investors and PGS ASA share and reputation value and invoke terms and conditions. – FIRE AND SUE THE PGS ASA BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE TEAM FOR FIDUCIARY FRAUD and CORRUPTION. PGS ASA UK subsidiary Directors Gottfred Langseth, Christin Steen-Nilsen and Rune O. Pedersen paid (BRIBED) Thailand based law firm Duensing – Kippen to file a criminal defamation claim against SDK while he lived in Thailand, September 2018. At the time, PGS ASA and SDK were bound by two contracts governed by the laws of England that contained Confidentiality clauses prohibiting parties from publishing disparaging content about each other. The above excerpt is cited within that claim as being defamatory – false and harmful. There are records that prove this statement is true. It is also legally protected though contract by the UK Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998 (PIDA). PGS paid the law firm Duensing – Kippen to blackmail a whistleblower into silence by using a fraudulent criminal claim and misrepresenting legally protected public disclosure to be criminal defamation in Thailand.. PGS ASA wanted SDK to lie to the entire oil and gas industry and retract my statements. PGS ASA has defamed and defrauded a whistleblower. PGS ASA has broken UK laws, Norwegian laws, Thailand laws, and USA laws. Demand that PGS ASA invoke the terms and conditions of our contracts in the English legal system. Then everyone can see who the real criminals are. Why is Oslo Børs’ okay with this?This Image is not a breach of the contract between SDK – PGS ASA Confidentiality terms and conditions of a contract governed by the laws of England prohibiting parties from publishing disparaging content about each other? PGS ASA does not invoke the terms and conditions of their employment contracts in order to hide executive crimes. However, PGS ASA will sponsor illegal criminal defamation litigation in Thailand to silence a whistleblower. PGS ASA will allow the Company to be devalued and wait to take action when it is only criminal defamation in Thailand and not just disparagement in England? Demand PGS ASA protect investors and PGS ASA value and invoke terms and conditions. – FIRE AND SUE THE PGS ASA BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE TEAM FOR FIDUCIARY NEGLIGENCE / FRAUD and CORRUPTION.24 July 2013 letter written to SDK on behalf of PGS Exploration (UK) Limited. Directors: Jon Erik Reinhardsen, Gottfred Langseth, Christin Steen-NilsenThe 22 December 2014 letter on behalf of PGS Exploration (UK) Limited was written by PGS UK HR Manager, David Nicholson. This letter was sent by postal mail and by e-mail attachment following my demands that PGS remove multiple document from my PGS personnel file. My personnel file was composed of defamatory forged documents. Many were signed by Nicholson. Nicholson had been accused of misuse of malpractice: misuse of the performance management system, defamation, discrimination, and bullying / harassment (race – foreign worker) within the 20 Sep 2013 grievance. I reported this all to UK ActionFraud (police). I now believe that the sending of the false claims, lies, and misinformation threatening legal action if I did not discontinue my interrogatories was US Federal Wire Fraud and Mail Fraud, as well as blackmail / extortion. According to the 22 Dec 2014 sent to SDK following the submission of a subject access request (SAR) citing the UK Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA), only four people processed my personnel file. David Nicholson, Laura Haswell, Anne Stokle, Gareth Jones, and Simon Cather. None of these people possess qualified privilege. I did not work directly for any one of them. Simon Cather and David Nicholson were accused criminal acts / malpractice within the 20 Sep 2013 grievance. David Nicholson was allowed to process the SAR. All documents processed within my professional PGS personnel file relevant to the 20 Sep 2013 grievance are defamatory forgeries and none have been signed by me. They are signed by David Nicholson with malice. Nicholson has no qualified privilege. Also, none of the directors are listed as having processed my personnel file. This means that the 24 Jul 2013 is baseless and defamatory. It is illegal retaliation for whistleblowing.5PGS ASA agreed within the 22 December 2014 threatening letter stated that PGS ASA would process the e-mail sent from SDK to PGS ASA 5 December 2014PGS ASA was not processing the 15 November 2013 Occupational Health Nurse Report within SDK personnel file. PGS ASA / Nicholson lied about this document which was illegally withheld during negotiations placing the health of the victim / whistleblower and his sponsored family in jeopardy. PGS ASA was fully aware of and supportive of the fraud and defamation being perpetrated against a US citizen and foreign worker whistleblower. These activities are blatant human rights abuses and crimes. SDK reported to UK ActionFraud August 2015, but no investigation has been conducted. I am resolved to continue my quest for justice and report on the subsequent crimes committed by PGS ASA to escape SDK submitted a subject access request (SAR) citing the UK Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA) in October 2014 suspecting that PGS ASA was illegally blacklisting / retaliating against SDK for submitting a workplace grievance while employed on a sponsored foreign worker (Tier 2) by PGS ASAs UK subsidiary, PGS Exploration (UK) Limited (England). PGS ASA provided SDK with the data being processed as SDK personal data within his professional personnel file. It was evident upon receiving the contents of the personnel file that inaccurate, malicious, and defamatory false documents were being processed by PGS ASA. It should noted that both PGS ASA SVP Global HR, Terje Bjolseth and PGS UK HR Manager, David Nicholson were both directly involved in the alleged illegal termination of a whistleblower. Nicholson and Bjolseth were also directly involved in processing the SAR. PGS ASA continued to misrepresent the integrity and veracity of data being processed within SDK personnel file. PGS ASA defrauded the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) and the Norwegian Data Protection Authority. PGS ASA also defrauded the UK Border Agency. PGS ASA shared the fraudulent defamatory data with the PGS ASA Houston (PGS US) subsidiary in order to clandestinely illegally blacklist SDK in the Houston professional job market. The directors of both PGS UK and PGS US in 2014 were Jon Erik Reinhardsen, Gottfred Langseth, and Christine Steen-Nilsen. Also, UK national Gareth Jones was working for PGS US when the false data was shared. This is US Federal wire fraud. Subsequent communications disputing the integrity of PGS ASA SDK data is similarly US Federal wire fraud.SDK submitted a subject access request (SAR) citing the UK Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA) in October 2014 suspecting that PGS ASA was illegally blacklisting / retaliating against SDK for submitting a workplace grievance while employed on a sponsored foreign worker (Tier 2) by PGS ASAs UK subsidiary, PGS Exploration (UK) Limited (England).

Subsequent communications disputing the integrity of PGS ASA SDK data is similarly US Federal wire fraud.PGS ASA is a Narcissistic Company. “Leadership” is incapable of telling the truth. PGS ASA refuse to answer even the most basic questions or admit to anything. Why are there no signatures on the personnel file documents? This has been asked since 2014! They are perverting the course of justice and uttering forged documents which were used to support an illegal settlement contract proffered under defamatory false pretenses to terminate a foreign worker whistleblower illegally. This is why a whistleblower can continue to publish disparaging content. It is whistleblowing and protected by law. Laws that PGS ASA have been breaking continuously to defraud shareholders and customers and place personnel at risk.
PGS ASA Board of Directors and Executive Team Misuse Company Resources to Enrich Themselves. They should be investigated and prosecuted in a court of law. How much shareholder value (money and personnel resources) does PGS ASA spend on illegal vexatious litigation and SEOs to Silence Whistleblowers and Protect Criminals like Gottfred Langseth and Defraud Customers and Investors?
Search engines such as Google and Yahoo use complex algorithms to rank the results of searches that are done on a particular keyword or topic. If a company like Wal-Mart Stores Inc. wants to knock negative results from the top of a search list (e.g., walmartsucks.org), it may hire an SEO vendor to help.
Meanwhile, Google doesn’t seem to have a problem with the whole game [search suppression]. As the world’s largest search engine, a spokesman there says creating new content to hide negative material is fair play.(You can listen to the full broadcast here: The Business Of Burying Internet Search Results)
PGS ASA takes no legal action to protect the brand or personal reputations of employees or business partners, such as Watson Farley & Williams because evidence-based whistleblowing show criminal conspiracy and fraud perpetrated by both companies against a whistleblower. The contract provides whistleblower protection through the Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998. PGS ASA has a RESPONSIBILITY to INVESTORS to invoke terms and conditions designed to PROTECT INVESTORS. STAKEHOLDERS MUST DEMAND THAT THEY DO THEIR JOB!
A breach of fiduciary duty happens if a fiduciary behaves in a manner that contradicts their duty, and there are serious legal implications. It is also easier to prove a breach of fiduciary duty as there is no need to prove fraudulent or criminal intent.
John Francas perverts the course of justice and is a co-conspirator in defrauding a whistleblower, government agencies, and PGS ASA shareholders. JOHN FRANCAS is ANOTHER bribed lawyer protecting PGS ASA Criminal Board of Directors and Executive Management while NOT PROTECTING THE LEGAL INTERESTS OF PGS ASA STAKEHOLDERS! The complete letter / response to SDK 2018 GDPR SAR signed by PGS UK Head of Legal, John Francas, is in the following article: Asking Norway’s PGS for Answers is Criminal Defamation in Thailand Previous Legal threats by PGS ASA were made through a 22 December 2014 Correspondence PGS Exploration UK Limited (PGSUK) to SDK. How is it possible that PGS ASA would have allowed this dispute / problem recognized in December 2014 to become a criminal matter in Thailand in 2018? PGS ASA has never contacted or commented on any articles directly to SDK. PGS ASA has used law firm Duensing – Kippen in Thailand. Duensing – Kippen have no first hand knowledge nor evidence to back their claims. PGS ASA has never invoked the terms and conditions of the 5 December 2013 signed contract because it is a fraudulent contract and JOHN FRANCAS knows it! INVESTIGATE JOHN FRANCAS!
The long-term consequences of these actions can be a devastating, soul crushing and reality-shattering path to be led down. Of course, there are many other types of abuse that can have just as damaging and severe long-term consequences. However, psychological forms of abuse such as gaslighting, mental rape, slander, defamation and distortion campaigns of a person’s reputation are done so covertly and expertly that they are very rarely identified early enough.
A USA Whistleblowers Report on Norwegien Corporate Governance Irresponsibility
Jon Erik Reinhardsen was officially appointed Chairman of the Board of Directors for Norway’s largest company, StatOil, on 1 September 2017. (StatOil changed its name from StatOil to Equinor 15 May 2018.) How is it possible that Reinhardsen would be able to assume such a prestigious role as StatOil’s / Equinor’s Board of Directors Chairman without being thoroughly vetted? I am a US citizen whistleblower who has reported and published online content about my being a victim of crimes perpetrated by Norwegian executives, including Reinhardsen. I have been denied due process and justice by dysfunctional corporate governance practices. This is a problem for Norway and global business. Norway must demonstrate compliance and governance.
Why do we Hate Whistle-Blowers? | Kelly Richmond Pope | TEDxDePaulUniversityJon Erik Reinhardsen is not divorced from PGS ASA. He was a Director for PGS Exploration (UK) Limited when the 5 December 2013 Settlement Contract was signed. That contract, and the original employment contract both hold Confidentiality clauses prohibiting employees from disparaging PGS ASA. What’s wrong with these contracts? (Answer: The 5 December 2013 PGS – SDK Contract is fraudulent.)
Charmian Gooch: Meet global corruption’s hidden players
Prior to Jon Erik Reinhardsen being appointed as StatOil’s Chairmain of the Board, Reinhardsen served as CEO and President of Petroleum Geo-Services ASA (PGS). During Reinhardsen’s time as CEO, he also served as a director for the UK PGS subsidiary, PGS Exploration (UK) Limited [PGSUK]. I am a USA citizen who worked for PGSUK through their sponsorship of my Tier 2 visa (work permit). PGSUK also sponsored the visas for my dependent family members to live in England. This is relevant to the several whistleblowing blog articles that SDK had published on the LinkedIN™ Pulse platform from 3 July 2015 – 20 August 2016. Many of the LinkedIN™ Pulse blog articles focused on the events, processes, and documentation that led to my termination from employment through a settlement contract agreement. The LinkedIN™ Pulse blog articles presented documentation that supported the published allegations that my termination from PGSUK was illegal and that the settlement contract was supported by uttered forged defamatory documents. The published whistleblowing articles exposed unethical and illegal behavior.

Reinhardsen, as a director of PGSUK and signator of the PGS 2013 CEO Responsibility Letter, should not have ever allowed any of the disparaging content to be published. Reinhardsen needed only to act responsibly and invoke the Confidentiality terms and conditions governing my employment contracts that prohibited the publishing of unprotected disparaging public discloser. In his responsible role, Reinhardsen never commented on, An American, the UK Data Protection Act, Petroleum Geo-Services (PGS) and the Tyranny of “Accurate Data” (3-Jul-2015) nor Petroleum Geo-Services (PGS) CEO Jon Erik Reinhardsen Should Resign 2 (20-Sep-2015). Both were published on LinkedIN™ Pulse. SDK was permanently restricted from LinkedIN™ 20 August 2016 for publishing several disparaging articles, as well as publishing interrogatories within the PGS LinkedIN™ comment space, from 3 July 2015 through 20 August 2016. However, PGS has cited no breach in the Confidentiality terms and conditions in the contracts governed by the laws of England. PGS first misrepresented protected public disclosure as defamation to LinkedIN™ content administrators, which kept any bona fide dispute over content out of the courts. PGS also violated the terms and conditions of these contracts through not thoroughly investigating the publications as whistleblowing. PGS defamed and defrauded me. Both contracts provided protection for whistleblowing, per the UK Public Interests Disclosure Act 1998 (PIDA) that was included within the Confidentiality clauses in both of the contracts governed by the laws of England.
SDK LinkedIN™ Pulse Blog Articles Disparaging Norway’s PGS:
PGS had the fiduciary responsibility to all stakeholder to invoke the terms and conditions of the employment contract and not simply provide the ridiculous response within the PGS LinkedIN™ comment space or e-mail. In other words, the matter should have been resolved in the courts of England whose laws governed both contracts terms and conditions. From April 2016 – September 2016, protected public disclosure – whistleblowing – content was sent directly or through links to the PGS Compliance Hotline, which at that time was represented by then PGS General Counsel, Rune Olav Pedersen; PGS SVP Global Human Resources, Terje Bjølseth; and PGS VP Compliance and Internal Audit, Silke Hitschke. The PGS Compliance Team never responded to nor commented on any of the obviously disparaging published content. PGS General Counsel Pedersen and PGS Exploration (UK) Limited secretary, Carl Richards, both lawyers, should have fully understood these responsibilities. The reason no action was taken was because Pedersen and Richards were both implicated in criminal behaviors (and still are). PGS legal compliance for both PGS (Norway) and PGSUK (England) should have been guiding the decisions formed and executed by the PGSUK directors with respect to my 20 September 2013 submitted grievance which culminated in my termination through settlement contract.
PGSUK directors were PGS CEO, Jon Erik Reinhardsen, PGS CFO, Gottfred Langseth, and PGS Chief Accountant, Christin Steen – Nilsen. Richards served as PGSUK company secretary. Through my sponsored work permit, I possessed a legal right to submit a workplace grievance and proceed through the legal processes published within the UK Personnel Handbook. The submitted grievance cited health and safety concerns, management malpractice, violations in duty of care and mutual trust and confidence, as well as violations in PGS policy and UK employment laws. My grievance was whistleblowing. The main effort by the cabal has been to pervert the course of justice and deny the victim of their crimes voice and legal due process. In fact, this was the principal incentive for PGS bribing legal firms Watson Farley & Williams (WFW) and my legal counsel, Landau, Zeffertt and Weir Employment Solicitors (LZW). (Evidence of this has also been published within my articles.) This evidence points to a criminal conspiracy and confidence fraud to illegally terminate a foreign worker whistleblower under false pretenses using uttered forged documents. PGS, WFW and LZW continue to obstruct justice, withhold information, and deny their victim of crimes and whistleblower legal due process. PGS, WFW and LZW have remained silent to avoid having to explain in a court of law what facts guided their decisions and resulted in continued whistleblowing publications! If not criminals, then PGS, WFW, and LZW lawyers have been behaving like morons.
After my employment with PGSUK was terminated through settlement contract, I returned to Houston, Texas, USA. While in Houston, I detected what I believed were violations in the terms and conditions of that contract. I believed that I was being blacklisted in the Houston job market. This led to my submitting a subject access request (SAR) to PGSUK and PGS in October 2014 citing the UK Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA). It was through this request that I was provided with copies of the contents of my PGSUK personnel file. This is when I discovered that PGSUK was processing defamatory forged documents as my personal data. Of course, I complained vigorously to PGS, as well as to the Information’s Commissioner’s Office (ICO) who regulate DPA compliance. PGS did threaten taking litigation through a 22 December 2014 e-mail, over a year after signing the settlement contract in dispute, if I continued to complain about the illegal forgeries that they were being processed. Because of the binding nature of a settlement contracts, no UK lawyer would consider legal actions against PGSUK. As already stated, I published an article 3 July 2015. This was the first article which named names, including Reinhardsen. When I heard nothing from PGS / PGSUK, I submitted my first report to UK ActionFraud (police). Following the collapse in oil prices mid-2014, combined with the defamatory material that PGS was processing to facilitate legal-looking defamation and blacklisting, I moved to Thailand, which had been my home of record when I worked with PGS offshore or on rotational assignment.
It has been only recently, since returning back to the USA, that I have recognized that the firm post mailing (DHL) of forged documents and subsequent e-mail communications following my receipt of personal data from PGSUK in 2014 that I identified these as also being violations in US Federal Laws (mail fraud, wire fraud, etc.). Because of this, I filed a report to the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). I believe that PGS ASAs coordinated deception and disinformation campaign aimed at a whistleblower, but impacting several stakeholders in the upstream oil and gas industry, constitutes violations in the US Federal Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) which is intended to allow multiple laws to prosecute organized crime. While I understand the difficulty in getting police to actually investigate white collar criminals, I am 100 % certain that I am a victim of crimes. I have published a substantial quantity of disparaging / whistleblowing content on the internet that show up prominently in search engine results referencing PGS ASA.
Investors and stakeholders must ask how is it possible that accused criminal Reinhardsen escapes scrutiny and investigation and serves as a director on several prestigious Norwegian majority owned companies, such as Equinor and Telenor, since leaving his role as CEO and President of PGS? Reinhardsen has not completely divorced himself from PGS, as he also currently continues to serve as a director (Chairmain) for the USA PGS subsidiary, Petroleum Geo-Services, Inc. [PGSUS], in Houston, Texas. The other director of PGSUS are none other than PGS CFO Gottfred Langseth and PGS Chief Accountant, Christin Steen-Nilsen. The same individuals who managed the illegal termination of a foreign worker whistleblower in England uttered the defamatory forgeries in the US to illegally blacklist their victim of crimes and whistleblower! I have concluded that accused criminal and abuser Reinhardsen and his cabal are being protected by a corrupt and dysfunctional Norwegian corporate governance system. (It pains me to publish this.) The global marketplace must demand a thorough investigation of Reinhardsen and those who empower and enable him. Why does Norway promote accused violent criminals and human rights violators who intentionally jeopardize the health and well-being and rob a US citizen whistleblower and his Thai – USA family members?
The only reason that so many articles and comments were published on the LinkedIN™ platform was because PGS not only never cited a breach in the Confidentiality terms and conditions, but also never answered several e-mails and social media messages containing content disparaging PGS! In other words, PGSUK directors did not honor the terms and conditions of contracts and instead allowed disparaging publications to continue. This was done to hide the fact that PGS had illegally terminated a foreign worker whistleblower on false pretenses using fraudulent data (uttered defamatory forged documents). Lawyers for other parties involved in forming the settlement contract; PGS, LZW (now Landau Law), and WFW, also remained silent to allow the fraud and defamation of the whistleblower to continue. Further, while anonymous complaints made to LinkedIN™ stated that the published content was defamatory, the UK Limitation Act 1980 prohibits defamation claims for content published more than one-year. LinkedIN™ restricted my account 20 August 2016, this is over one year from the first published article on 3 July 2015. There is no limitation on citing breaches in the contractual Confidentiality terms and conditions.
Nopgs.com Publications following SDK LinkedIN™Restriction and Prior to Reinhardsen Resignation from PGS
(20-Aug-2016 thru 18-Jun-2017)
PGS ASA disinformation and defamation of SDK facilitated the restriction of SDKs LinkedIN™account. PGS ASA withheld material information and did not invoke Contract Confidentiality terms and conditions as they were legally obligated to do per CONTRACT. PGS lied. SDK was defamed to over 4900 followers/professionals and the entire LinkedIN™community. SDK also hosted the Marine Seismic Survey group with over 1500 members.
Following my restriction on LinkedIN™, I formed an independent website, nopgs.com, whose acronym stood for NO Psychopaths in Geo-Services. I was confident that the several blog articles published were whistleblowing and also in many ways redundant in their content. In other words, not citing content as a breach immediately following publication 3 July 2015 would make it difficult for any legal claim to succeed, regardless of their veracity. Publications after 20 August 2016 essentially state the same allegations as previous articles. However, I was beginning to see the conspiracy more clearly. The reason that PGS and WFW had remained irresponsibly and fraudulently silent is because what the cabal did to me and my family is reprehensible. Their criminal acts were viscious and premeditated and deserve punishment to the full extent of the law. Considering their positions of responsibility, there needs to be congruent accountability. Several PGS employees have been empowered and rewarded for breaching the PGS Code of Conduct and PGS Core Values in order to protect corrupt and criminal PGS Board of Directors and several PGS executives. Agents for WFW have aided and abetted their client PGS in perverting the course of justice. All have been able to escape responsibility and accountability for their crimes. They have all behaved unethically and criminally to physically, professionally, and financially harm a foreign worker whistleblower who deserved their Duty of Care. None have ever been compelled to address even the most basic published accusations.
PGS, WFW have invested substantial resources of personnel and money focused on harming an HSE whistleblower and victims of crimes. Most every post has made a very simple request for a trustworthy third-party, preferably government law enforcement, to investigate PGS, WFW, and LZW agents who were directly involved in proffering the settlement contract and not proceding through a legitimate grievance process. While I had an account on LinkedIN™ and used it to publish protected public disclosure, I would sometimes share content using Twitter™. Many of my comments and article links were directed to PGS’ Twitter™ account, @PGSNews, and to a lesser extent WFW (@WFW_LLP) and Landau Law (@philiplandau, formerly LZW), Twitter™ accounts. However, no legal action was ever initiated in spite of the publishing substantive disparaging content identifying them specifically. PGS legal, and two legal firms are directly implicated through online publications of criminal acts. The cabal never discontinued their defamation and defrauding of a whistleblower and victim of their crimes. The cabal continue to utter defamatory forged documents and retain their false defamatory narrative through their not invoking the Confidentiality clauses in our contracts.
Most of the Twitter™ feeds were delivered by @boycottpgs that was created to support the nopgs.com website that hosted my publications, including many that had first been published on LinkedIN™. However, as time passed, I also delivered from my personal Twitter™, @sdkgeop. During April 2018, I was contacted via my e-mail attached to the nopgs.com website by someone who purported to be from the PGSUK secretary and UK lawyer, Carl Richards. Within this mail, Richards threatened to file criminal defamation claims against me in Thailand, where I was residing at the time. I did respond. However, I requested identification verification before I engaged the sender to much. The sender never confirmed his identity. However, I rejected the view that defamation charges could be filed against by Carl Richards as a private person divorced from his official role as company secretary and the PGSUK contract terms and conditions that bound our legal relationship that was governed by the laws of England!
Reinhardsen retired as President and CEO of PGS and assumed the role of Chairman of the Board of Directors for Norway’s StatOil September 2017. Rune Olav Pedersen was appointed President and CEO of PGS and also replaced Reinhardsen as a director for PGSUK. Reinhardsen, nor anyone from PGS ever had engaged me regarding my legally protected public disclosure. Not anyone disparaged directly through nopgs.com publications independently disputed nor complained. Reinharden certainly never effectively performed his fiduciary duty as either PGSUK director or PGS CEO to defend the reputation of the several PGS employees named and accused of crimes within the LinkedIN™, Twitter™ or nopgs.com publications. Reinhardsen also never followed through on promises stated within his responsibility letter. Reinhardsen breached policy and broke the law. Even if I publish that Reinhardsen is a cowardly and incompetent piece of shit who is too frightened to defend his decisions. Reinhardsen has never invoked the Confidentiality terms and conditions. The problem is that Reinhardsen took license to attack and harm me and my family. It is personal. Moreover, it seems that Reinhardsen has been able to do this with the full support of the corrupted Norwegian corporate governance infrastructure to aid him. What else can explain his appointment of director for both Equinor and Telenor? Fuck you, Jon Erik Reinhardsen! (Is this disparaging to Telenor and Equinor?)

No lawyer involved in forming the terms and conditions of the contract signed by SDK in Thailand is licensed to practice law or form legal agreements valid under USA Federal or Texas US State law. I believe this is more fraudulent misrepresentation to intimidate SDK to sign an unlawful agreement under duress that takes away SDKs legal rights under English law. PGS ASA has its main regional North and South America offices in Houston, Texas, USA (Harris County). The directors of Petroleum Geo-Services Inc. are Chairman Jon Erik Reinhardsem, Gottfred Langseth, and Christin Steen – Nilsen. They all have access to qualified legal counsel as well as an obligation to abide by USA / Texas laws. If my publications are indeed defamatory, why can’t PGS ASA litigate in Houston, Texas? Documents and contract would not need to be translated. PGS ASA has sent no e-mails since John Francas’ , PGS ASA UK Head of Legal follow-up threats after SDK received Duensing – Kippen threats!PGS ASA has an obligation to be truthful to investors and stakeholders. PGS ASA continued silence is misrepresentation. In July 2018, PGS ASA UK Head of Legal, John Francas published a fraudulent letter in response to a subject access request citing the General Data Protection Requirement (GDPR). Within this letter, PGS ASA referenced both the knowledge of SDK publications disparaging PGS ASA and also reiterated PGS ASA ability to act on the terms and conditions of the 5 December 2013 Settlement Contract. Why didn’t PGS ASA claim breach in the terms and conditions by SDK and didn’t directors have an obligation to protect the reputation of PGS ASA and its employees who were disparaged? SDK has claimed that his publications are protected public disclosure (whistleblowing) and therefore would not constitute a breach through the UK Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998 (PIDA). SDK has also claimed that the 5 December 2013 settlement contract was illegally proffered to deny him his legal right under English law and contract to file a grievance to his employer. SDK has published evidence that PGS ASA has provided misrepresentations to government agencie (UK Border Agency and Information Commissioner’s Office) and uttered defamatory forgeries to support the illegal settlement contract. PGS ASA continues to utter these forgeries as SDK personal data which is a human rights and criminal offense.Two legal contract define the legal relationship between SDK and PGS ASA. PGS ASA subsidiary in England, PGS Exploration (UK) Limited sponsored foreign worker USA citizen SDK lawful employment in England with a Tier 2 visa. SDK dependent family members were also sponsored to legally reside in England during SDKs employment. The employment contract was governed by the laws of England. PGS ASA contracted the UK subsidiary of law firm Watson Farley & Williams to advise on the sponsorship and employment contract. My employment with PGS Exploration (UK) Limited was terminated through a settlement contract signed 5 December 2013 by SDK and PGS ASA representative. I have for some time alleged that the 5 December 2013 settlement contract is fraudulent. The 5 December 2013 contract was illegally proffered by PGS ASA to avoid the legally guaranteed grievance processes and to terminate a whistleblower under false pretenses through uttering forged defamatory documents that would be used in the USA to illegally blacklist SDK, the whistleblower and victime of PGS ASA, Watson Farley & Williams, and Landau Law perpetrated criminal conspiracy to defame and defraud SDK. PGS ASA, Watson Farley & Williams, and Landau Law all conspired to utter forged instruments and advance an illegal contract to terminate a whistleblower.SDK visits to the Kingdom of Thailand have been on Tourist visa since February 2019. SDK is a USA citizen. Publications from 3 July 2015 – 15 October 2015 were published in the USA. Articles through mid-2016 were published while on tourist visa in Thailand as a USA citizen with legal address in the USA. PGS ASA is a client of Duensing – Kippen, a law firm in Thailand. PGS ASA has paid / bribed Duensing – Kippen to harass and threaten incarceration and extort money so that SDK would de-publish legal and protected public disclosure. PGS ASA, through Duensing – Kippen, is demanding that SDK participate in defrauding PGS ASA shareholders, UK, Norway, USA, and Thai government agencies, and of course the oil and gas industry stakeholders who are told through PGS ASA propaganda that the PGS ASA Board of Directors abide by the provisions of their published, by Norwegian legal requirement, annual Corporate Responsibility Report(s). PGS ASA intention is for truthful and legally protected content to be de-published so that PGS ASA can continue their disinformation campaign unabated by truthful whistleblowing. Responsible institutional investors should demand that the PGS ASA Board of Directors explain the often cited 25 October 2013 Memo along with the 2013 Responsibility Report CEO Letter penned by Jon Erik Reinhardsen. Demand the truth! Number 1: PGS ASA 2019 Annual Report Shares More Disinformation to Investors ad Stakeholders to cover-up non-compliant and criminal acts.Number 2: PGS ASA 2019 Annual Report Shares More Disinformation to Investors and Stakeholders to cover-up non-compliant and criminal acts.Number 3: PGS ASA 2019 Annual Report Shares More Disinformation to Investors and Stakeholders to cover-up non-compliant and criminal acts. Number 4: PGS ASA 2019 Annual Report Shares More Disinformation to Investors and Stakeholders to cover-up non-compliant and criminal acts. Number 5: PGS ASA 2019 Annual Report Shares More Disinformation to Investors and Stakeholders to cover-up non-compliant and criminal acts. PGS ASA is the client for Duensing – Kippen who know – have been informed through several e-mails from SDK – that SDK regards his publications as evidence based legally protected public disclosure (whistleblowing) and that he believes that PGS ASA has defrauded and defamed SDK through continued uttering of forged documents that were used to terminate the employment of SDK under false pretenses and then blacklist him from professional employment in the marine seismic industry for identifying and reporting unethical and illegal exective behaviors by PGS ASA executives. Duensing – Kippen is a co-conspirator in fraud, defamation, blackmail and extortion meant to silence the victim of crimes and whistleblower and depublish SDKs legal and protected public disclosure. Duensing – Kippen have never conducted legal and responsible due diligence and otherwise do not possess the legal authority to breach legal contract governed by the laws of England on behalf of an English company misusing the Thai legal system.When firms / individuals are paid to break the law and they know that they are breaking the law it is a bribe. Watson Farley & Williams, Landau Law, and Duensing – Kippen must explain the contents of SDKs PGS ASA professional personnel file. Lawyers from these companies must show that legal and compliant processes and documentation were used to terminate SDK. SDK is CONFIDENT that these firms cannot do this and that they have all participated in crimes against SDK, his family, UK, Norway, USA, and Thai government agencies, as well as all global oil and gas industry stakeholders and investors who rely on PGS ASA publications to be truthful.
PGS ASA, Watson Farley & Williams and Landau Law lawyers and human resources personnel who participated uttering defamatory forged documents documents used to support the 5 December 2013 termination settlement contract which illegally terminated the employment of a whistleblower and victim of crimes SDK under false pretenses know the claims filed in Thailand are false. They are legally ridiculous. The original employment contract terms and conditions are governed by the laws of England. SDK is a USA citizen whose Tier 2 work permit was sponsored by PGS Exploration (UK) Limited that had to meet a legal requirement to fill the position from outside the local labor force. SDK had to possess skills, experience and abilities that local hires did not possess. The documents being processed by PGS ASA do not comport to the legal standard required to sponsor a foreign (non-EEA) employee. This is why PGS ASA, Watson Farley & Williams and Landau Law invoking the non-disparagement clauses is avoided. PGS ASA, Watson Farley & Williams and Landau Law, all UK / English companies/subsidiaries avoid the English legal system through prosecuting false claims in Thailand. PGS ASA through Duensing – Kippen is demanding thousands of USA dollars for their claim! SDK has never received the actual claims delivered in 2019 to the address of Thai relatives. The claims are in the Thai language as well. Can Lars Mysen, PGS ASA General Counsel or John Francas, PGS ASA UK Head of Legal read and comprehend Thai? Duensing – Kippen have no first-hand knowledge of the events which SDK writes about and publishes. Any evidence would be in the English language. This is then translated into Thai. Why is this necessary? PGS ASA, Watson Farley & Williams and Landau Law are obfuscating their legal claim by using a foreign language. Thai is not the language of legal documents formed for a company obligated to follow the laws of England. Extortion is a sub-category of blackmail under English criminal law. Where does PGS ASA get any legal authority to prosecute using the laws of the Kingdom of Thailand? PGS ASA has no subsidiaries in Thailand and no legal agreement between SDK even if the did! PGS ASA, Watson Farley & Williams and Landau Law want evidence based allegations of crimes depublished. They have bribed Duensing – Kippen to harass and blackmail / extort SDK. PGS ASA through Duensing – Kippen is demanding thousands of USA dollars for their claim! SDK has never received the actual claims delivered in 2019 to the address of Thai relatives.

PGS ASA, Watson Farley & Williams and Landau Law want evidence based allegations of crimes depublished. They have bribed Duensing – Kippen to harass and blackmail / extort SDK. I believe that Duensing – Kippen misrepresented legal and protected public disclosure as criminal defamation in Thailand. This is fraud. PGS ASA and SDK have a contractual legal relationship governed by the laws of England. PGS ASA has never cited breaches in the Confidentiality terms and conditions that protect against the publication of disparaging content by parties of the contract. SDK has claimed to be a whistleblower for several years. PGS ASA also misrepresented SDK published content on social media, LinkedIn and Twitter, to be defamatory and not truthful protected public disclosure. These defamatory claims to social media administrators got SDK restricted from LinkedIn and Twitter. PGS ASA has never stated exactly what is defamatory. PGS ASA, Watson Farley & Williams, Landau Law and Duensing – Kippen have never commented nor explained a 25 October 2013 Memo which SDK claims is an uttered defamatory forged documents used to illegally terminate a whistleblower on false pretenses. SDK owned domain nopgs.com was stolen and evidence destroyed during arbitration with Duensing – Kippen lawyer Tippaya Moonmanee in December 2018. Duensing – Kippen services was sponsored by PGS ASA executives Rune Olav Pedersen, PGS ASA CEO and President, Gottfred Langseth, PGS ASA CFO and EVP, and Christin Steen – Nilsen, PGS ASA SVP Chief Accountant who act as directors for English company, PGS Exploration (UK) Limited. Carl Richards, former PGS Exploration (UK) Limited secretary sponsored his own claim as an individual. In September 2018, two summons for criminal defamation in Thailand were delivered to SDK while he traveled outside Thailand to his visa sponsors address in Thailand. PGS ASA and SDK shared a legal relationship (two contracts) governed by the laws of England. Carl Richards and PGS ASA were demanding that I remove / depublish content that I regarded to be legal and protected public disclosure, or whistleblowing. My content was not defamatory by legal definition. I regarded the litigation in Thailand to be blackmail / extortion. Much of the content had been published for more than one-year and was protected through the UK Limitation Act 1980. Most of the content had been provided to PGS ASA by e-mail to PGS ASA compliance or social media directly (Twitter @PGSNews). No comment nor complaint of violating contractual non-disparagement clauses were ever cited prior to the Thai criminal claims. The main objective of the Thai criminal claims was the depublishing of content and the destruction of evidence of PGS ASA, Watson Farley & Williams, and Landau Law illegal acts perpetrated against SDK and his Thai family. On 20 September 2013, SDK submitted a workplace grievance describing breaches in contract, as well as unethical and unlawful behavior by executives. The grievance was in response to a letter written 24 July 2013 on behalf of the company, PGS Exploration (UK) Limited. At the time when the grievance was submitted to PGS ASA Compliance Terje Bjolseth, SVP Global Human Resources and Per Arild Reksnes, Marine Contract EVP, Rune Olav Pedersen, PGS ASA General Counsel, served on the compliance team. PGS Exploration (UK) Limited directors were Jon Erik Reinhardsen, PGS ASA CEO & President, Gottfred Langseth, PGS ASA CFO & EVP, and Christin Steen – Nilsen, PGS ASA SVP Chief Accountant. On 24 July 2013, PGS Exploration (UK) Limited secretary was PGS UK lawyer, Candida Pinto. On 13 September 2013, PGS UK lawyer, Carl Richards became PGS Exploration (UK) Limited secretary. Within the 20 September 2013 submitted grievance, I claimed that the 24 July 2013 letter written on behalf of PGS Exploration (UK) Limited and signed by PGS UK Human Resources Manager, David Nicholson, was defamatory. The letter was malicious and did not follow prescribed PGS ASA UK policy and procedures and therefore the contents was not protected by any qualified privilege. SDK owned domain was stolen during arbitration with Duensing – Kippen lawyer Tippaya Moonmanee. Duensing – Kippen was sponsored by PGS ASA executives Rune Olav Pedersen, PGS ASA CEO and President, Gottfred Langseth, PGS ASA CFO and EVP, and Christin Steen – Nilsen, PGS ASA SVP Chief Accountant who act as directors for English company, PGS Exploration (UK) Limited. PGS Exploration (UK) Limited is physically located in England and operates under the obligations of the UK Companies Act 2006. SDK, a USA citizen, was sponsored for employment by PGS Exploration (UK) Limited under contract governed by the laws of England. Under law and contract, SDK had the legal right (obligation?) to publicly disclose unethical and illegal behavior. On 20 September 2013, SDK submitted a workplace grievance describing breaches in contract, as well as unethical and unlawful behavior by executives. I believe that my workplace grievance met the criteria set out by the UK Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998 (PIDA) for protected public disclosure – whistleblowing. PGS ASA, Watson Farley & Williams and Landau Law bypassed legally protected grievance process and uttered defamatory forged documents to support an illegal termination (retaliation) for whistleblowing. Then PGS Exploration (UK) Limited Company Secretary, Carl Richards also sponsored claims as an individual. I believe that this is fraudulent misrepresentation intended to threaten me with two claims instead of one. SDK signed two contracts to avoid two criminal complaints in Thailand.
PGS ASA has not followed any of there policy and compliance guidelines. PGS ASA never cited SDK for a breach of contract for the many blog post articles posted on LinkedIn Pulse nor the many comments written within PGS ASA LinkedIn comment space because SDK never breached the terms and conditions. The 5 December 2013 Settlement Contract was an illegally proffered contract used to illegally terminate a USA citizen foreign worker whistleblower. The 5 December 2013 Settlement Contract was supported by uttered forged documents. This is all serious criminal behavior perpetrated by bribed lawyers who ruin the legal profession. PGS ASA did publish this response to my several comments and articles. This is PGS ASA BEING ALLOWED TO LIE TO INVESTORS and STAKEHOLDERS because the Board of Directors is corrupt and supported by a dysfunctional Narcissistic Norwegian Corporate Governance system. Demand a third party investigation of PGS ASA Board of Directors and Executive Management Team from 2013 – 2020. Jon Erik Reinhardsen’s corrupt and criminal management directs Equinor and Telenor. PGS ASA corruption robs investors and Norwegian citizens. I refuse to not continue to my fight for truth and justice. I refuse to accept that my daughters will enter a working world where dishonest and abusive criminals such as Walter Qvam, Jon Erik Reinhardsen, Rune Olav Pedersen, Christin Steen-Nilsen, Gottfred Langseth, Per Arild Reksnes, Berit Osnes, Simon Cather, Terje Bjolseth, and David Nicholson are not punished for their voilence against my family. The PGS ASA Board of Directors and Executive Team, since at least 2013, has been destroying a good company through corrupt robbery, fraud, bribery, and embezzlement. If these incompetent narcissistic fuckheads don’t go to jail, what criminals do? Cowardly criminal Jon Erik Reinhardsen is really the best Norway can do for Equinor and Telenor? All I have ever requested is a real evidence based investigation. I will make it my life work to expose corrupt Norway to the world until there is justice for victims of crimes and whistleblowers!
PGS ASA, Watson Farley & Williams, Landau Law and Duensing Kippen: Legally Explain the 25 October 2013 Memo!
Click on Images
Ask PGS ASA, Lilleakerveien 4C Oslo, 0283 Norway , Phone: 47-67-52-64-00, Email: [email protected], Executive Management Team (March 2020) [L-R Rob Adams, Nathan Oliver, Berit Osnes, Rune Olav Pedersen and Gottfred Langseth] about my blog articles and a 25 October 2013 Memo. PGS ASA have sponsored vexatious litigation against a whistleblower misusing the Thailand criminal and civil legal system. By what authority? PGS ASA is a Norwegian company governed by the laws of Norway. PGS Exploration (UK) Limited is a subsidiary of PGS ASA located in England and governed by the laws of England! PGS ASA threatened criminal prosecution of a whistleblower in Thailand (SDK) unless he signed a new contract that would erase the provisions of two contracts between PGS Exploration UK Limited and SDK governed by the laws of England which protect whistleblowers. The Thai contract that was signed has no whistleblower protection and has resolution venues in both Thailand and the USA [Harris County, Texas] (?). Global law firm Watson Farley & Williams advised PGS ASA on both contracts governed by the laws of England. Watson Farley & Williams also have offices in Thailand. However, PGS ASA contracted Thai law firm Duensing – Kippen to prosecute their (unsubstantiated) criminal defamations claims. Why didn’t Watson Farley & Williams represent PGS ASA in Thailand since they have all the information and formed the English contracts? PGS ASA has had multiple opportunities to address claims published within my blog publications. PGS ASA, Watson Farley & Williams, Landau Law were all involved in forming the terms and conditions of the 5 December 2013 termination settlement contract governed by the laws of England providing whistleblower protection (UK Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998). PGS ASA believes that I should be arrested for violating the laws of Thailand? PGS ASA has no subsidiary in Thailand. Further, PGS ASA has never challenged any contractual breaches on non-disparagement clauses which formed part of the 5 December 2013 signed contract in English courts. PGS ASA has been defrauding the global oil and gas industry, not just me! If the 25 October 2013 Memo being processed as SDK personal data used and used to support the 5 December 2013 contract is a forgery, as SDK claims, then investors, customers, and stakeholders have been deceived. DEMAND POLICE INVESTIGATION UNDER ENGLISH LAW!Lawyers employed by and PAID by PGS ASA shareholders and customers, Rune Olav Pedersen, Lars Mysen, John Francas, Carl Richards, have obstructed justice – perverted the course of justice. They are not advancing the legal interests of PGS ASA. PGS ASA bribes lawyers to advance their illegal and corrupt interests. Watson Farley & Williams (Neeta Aulak and Rhodri Thomas) and Landau, Zeffert & Weir Solicitors (now Landau Law) [Philip Landau and Holly Rushton] were also bribed to advance the terms and conditions of a signed 5 December 2013 termination settlement contract supported by uttered forgeries used to provide a false pretense used to terminate a foreign worker whistleblower illegally. This is why PGS ASA cannot invoke non-disparagement clauses meant to preserve PGS ASA reputation. Instead, PGS ASA is allowed by a corrupt system of corporate governance to breach the fraudulent contract that they advanced without explanation or reprisal. PGS ASA employs Thailand law firm Duensing – Kippen (Olaf Duensing and Tippaya Moonmanee) to breach terms and conditions to advance bogus criminal defamation charges that only exists in the corrupted translations of protected public disclosures in another set of corrupt lawyers paid for (illegally – embezzlement) by PGS ASA shareholders and customers. WAKE UP NORWAY – OSLO BORS!Since 2015, I have published evidence of knowing misrepresentation within PGS ASA Responsibility Reports. As Petroleum Geo-Services President and CEO, Jon Eric Reinhardsen penned his “Responsibility Letter.” Reinhardsen has never been held accountable to uphold those stated commitments. Reinhardsen has never been called upon to defend the respution of PGS ASA brand or its executives and stakeholders. Reinhardsen has never been required to abide by contractual terms and conditions that are in place to protect the brands of companies which he manages or directs. Responsibility claims and reports hold no value to shareholders and stakeholders if the information within them is not validated. Such reports are fraudulent misrepresentation and an false enticement to investors.The PGS ASA board of directors made commitments and allocated money to join the UN Global Compact. However, SDK whistleblowing claims show that most every provision of the UN Global Compact has been violated! Reinhardsen’s corrupt influence on the Norwegian marketplace is promoted and protected. Reinhardsen serves on the board of directors for majority Norwegian government owned Equinor (67%) and Telenor (54%), in spite of volumes of published foreign-worker (USA) whistleblowing claims. SDK, a USA citizen, is both a victim of crimes and a whistleblower for malpractice and misconduct perpetrated by PGS ASA directors and executive management. My writings have impacted the value of PGS ASA by their own admission. PGS ASA, a Norwegian company, through its English company subsidiary, PGS Exploration UK Limited, filed criminal defamation claims in Thailand! By what authority can a Norwegian corporation abandon their legal commitments and prosecute in a foreign jurisdiction where they have no subsidiary or even a business / contractual relationship? PGS ASA has been allowed to violate whistleblower protection laws: Norways Worker Environment Act 2005 and UK Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998 (PIDA). How is this possible Oslo Bors? Communications between SDK and PGS ASA affiliates (PGS Exploration UK Limited, Weybridge, England KT13 0NY or PGS ASA contracted legal firm (Duensing Kippen, Unit 16-05, 152 N Sathon Rd, Silom, Bang Rak, Bangkok 10500, Thailand, Phone: 66 2 267 5424 has been conducted by email mostly. PGS ASA and Duensing Kippen lawyer Tippaya Moonmanee have threatened whistleblower and blog post publisher SDK many times on behalf of PGS ASA. Duensing Kippen’s Tippaya Moonmanee has withheld material information through refusing to answer most every legally pertinent inquiry. Duensing Kippen’s Tippaya Moonmanee possess no first-hand knowledge of events written about and are not qualified to discern what is or is not truthful independently. Duensing Kippen’s Tippaya Moonmanee has been misrepresenting legal protected public disclosure under English law as criminal defamation under Thai law on behalf of the PGS ASAs English subsidiary located in England and bound to uphold English law (fraud). Duensing Kippen’s Tippaya Moonmanee‘s power of attorney does not authorize the breaking of English law and contracts on behalf of an English company! PGS ASA is trying to avoid the courts in England governed by English law that would reveal PGS ASA fraud and blackmail.
PGS ASA mailed by post [DHL] firm copies of forged, inaccurate, and unsigned firm documents of what they claim to be my personal data. This delivery of fake data in response to a legal request constitutes to my understanding US Federal law mail fraud violation(s).
I am a USA citizen who was sponsored on a work visa (Tier 2) by PGS ASA UK affiliate, PGS Exploration (UK) Limited, 4 The Heights, Brooklands, Weybridge, England, KT13 0NY [PGSUK}. My employment was terminated through a settlement contract agreement signed 5 December 2013 which was governed by the laws of England.
In October 2014, I submitted a subject access request (SAR) citing the UK Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA) and received by postal mail personal data that PGS ASA was processing in my name. Most notably, I received the firm copies of documents being processed within my PGSUK professional personnel file.
PGS ASA has been knowingly processing non-compliant forged and defamatory documents that were used to support an illegal contract formed in England to terminate a sponsored foreign worker (USA citizen) whistleblower. The continued processing of this defamatory personal data has facilitated illegal industry blacklisting of the whistleblower. PGS ASA has continued to misrepresent legal and truthful protected public disclosure (whistleblowing) as “defamation” on social media to deceive countless stakeholders. PGS ASA has also provided these knowing falsehoods to government agencies in Norway, UK, USA and Thailand directly. PGS ASA has further advanced a false narrative to preserve a false identity through joining the UN Global Compact and publishing deceptive Corporate Responsibility Reports annually. Norway has a dysfunctional corporate governance system. Simply, the Norwegian Code of Practice for Corporate Governance is not practiced. The Code of Practice is ignored and a corrupt and criminal corporate executive class is protected and promoted to protect Norway’s narcissistic false identity as a low corruption country to do business with. Norway exploits this false reputation and exports corruption to other countries.
I immediately became aware of a significant problem. PGS ASA was processing defamatory forged documents as my personal data. The dates on the documents indicated that this data was present in my personnel file when the terms and conditions of the settlement contract for my termination from employment was negotiated. None of the documents bore the signature of the data subject (SDK) and all contained inaccurate and unsubstantiated defamatory content. I complained to the data controller, PGSUK, and the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) who oversee DPA compliance. To my alarm, no action was taken against data controller. Since 2013, PGSUK has knowingly processed fake data to harm a data subject (SDK)!
Jon Erik Reinhardsen was Petroleum Geo-Services ASA (PGS) CEO and President when the 20 September 2013 workplace grievance was submitted by SDK. Jon Erik Reinhardsen, Gottfred Langseth, and Christin Steen-Nilsen served as Directors for BOTH PGS Exploration UK Limited and US Petroleum Geo-Services, Inc. The forged documents formed and processed to support the termination settlement agreement and also illegally blacklist / defame SDK in the Houston, Texas professional job market. PGS ASA has never – since SDKs first publication 3 July 2015 on LinkedIn Pulse. The UK Limitation Act 1980 allows one-year to file a defamation claim from publication date. From April – September 2016, PGS ASA was provided multiple whistleblowing publications. PGS ASA stopped publications by complaining to LinkedIn. SDK LinkedIn account was restricted 20 August 2016 because of complaints of “defamatory” content. It was whistleblowing and PGS ASA knows it. This is why no breach in the Confidentiality terms (9) was ever invoked. Global legal firm, Watson Farley & Williams (Rhodri Thomas and Neeta Aulak) formed the terms and conditions of the termination settlement contract on behalf of PGS ASA and SDK was misrepresented by Landau Law (Philip Landau and Holly Rushton). No legal professional involved with forming the contract has raised any complaint about my publications. I believe it is because it is an illegal contract used to terminate a whistleblower on false pretenses.Whistleblowing is protected within the signed 5 December 2013 termination settlement agreement through the UK Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998 (PIDA) The contract proffered in Thailand was unnecessary and SDK believes illegal. The threshold for non-disparagement as described within the Confidentiality clauses within the 5 December 2013 termination settlement contract is much less than criminal defamation. There is no criminal defamation under English law that governs the termination settlement contract. PGS ASA countersigned the termination settlement agreement with SDK. PGS ASA also sponsored litigation in Thailand while 5 December 2013 contract was still in affect. SDK regards the threat of criminal prosecution in Thailand and subsequent demand for SDK to sign another contract under duress is blackmail / extortion. PGS ASA apparently cannot prove defamation or breach of contract in an English speaking country? PGS ASA blackmailed me through using Thai legal firm Duensing Kippen to file criminal defamation claims in Thailand when I lived there. They dropped “criminal charges” if I signed ANOTHER contract in Thailand. But, SDK never breached the contract govered by the laws of England? Now I am in the USA and PGS ASA does not invoke breaches in the Thai contract either? Not in Harris County, Texas USA? Why is it only CRIMINAL DEFAMATION in THAILAND in the Thai language? Why did PGS ASA Board of Directors allow it to become out of control? Candida Pinto was PGS Exploration (UK) Limited Secretary prior to the delivery of the 20 September 2013 workplace grievance (whistleblowing). Many of the forged documents being processed as SDK personal data by PGS ASA / PGSUK are dated prior to 13 September 2013.Carl Richards became PGS Exploration (UK) Limited Secretary prior to the delivery of the 20 September 2013 workplace grievance (whistleblowing). Carl Richards was Secretary during the termination settlement contract negotiation process which involved Watson Farley & Williams lawyer Rhodri Thomas and my counsel, Philip Landua and Holly Rushton with Landau, Zeffertt and Wier Solicitors. The 5 December 2013 signed termination settlement contract is governed by the laws of England and includes Confidentiality / non-disparagement clauses. In September 2018, PGS UK directors and Carl Richards (individual) filed criminal defamation claims in Thailand through Thailand law firm Duensing – Kippen lawyer Tippaya Moonmanee. I believe this claim was illegal. An English company cannot give power of attorney to a Thai law firm / lawyer to break legal agreements governed by English law.
Subsequent clarification e-mail communications between the data subject (SDK) and data controller, PGS ASA / PGSUK, from October 2014 through December 2014 I believe constitute intentional violations in US Federal law wire fraud and obstruction of justice.
PGS ASA / PGSUK provided responses with several knowing misrepresentations to the data subject from October 2014 – December 2014 regarding the integrity of the data which they sent to SDK by post mail [DHL] and e-mail. The PGS ASA / PGSUK SDK personnel file data containing unsigned and unverified documents that was delivered to the data subject, SDK, by PGS ASA / PGSUK contradicts e-mail records that were provided by PGS ASA / PGSUK with the SAR, as well as e-mail records that are processed personally by the data subject, SDK. SDK has concluded that PGS ASA / PGSUK knowingly provided misrepresentations of material facts when queried about the integrity of SDKs personal data. SDK has since deduced that he was the target of a confidence fraud involving his hired solicitor firm, Landau, Zeffertt and Weir Solicitors (Philip Landau / Holly Rushton).
This forged Memo is being processed as my personal data by PGS ASA. The Memo of course was not signed by SDK. The Memo is dated 25 October 2013, which means that is was created after SDK hired solicitor Philip Landau and Holly Rushton. It was in my personnel file during termination settlement contract negotiations. SDK never knew about it! The Memo references events and dates that never occurred.
The unverified and inaccurate SDK personal data being processed by PGS ASA / PGSUK does not correspond to data provided to Philip Landau / Holly Rushton through verifiable e-mail communications. PGS ASA / PGSUK contracted the UK affiliate of global law firm, Watson Farley and Williams (WFW) to form the final terms and conditions of the termination settlement contract. E-mail communications from WFW solicitor, Rhodri Thomas, to Philip Landau that were shared with SDK seem to correspond with the false narrative contained within the forged documents delivered to SDK in response to his SAR as SDK personal data. SDK requested from LZW and PGS ASA / PGSUK several times from 14 October 2013 – 5 December 2013 that personal data being processed by PGS ASA / PGSUK be provided to the data subject, SDK, during the termination settlement contract negotiations. This material data was intentionally withheld from the data subject SDK when the termination settlement contract was negotiated and formed. SDK was unaware at the time that his legal counsel was a double-agent and co-conspirator assisting in the confidence fraud with co-conspirators PGS ASA / PGSUK and WFW to harm a foreign worker.
PGS ASA has refused to authenticate both the processes and created documents held within SDKs professional personnel file. The dates indicate that the unsigned by SDK and unverified defamatory forged documents were uttered to support a fraudulent termination settlement contract based on defamatory documents for illegal professional blacklisting.Terje Bjolseth, PGS ASA SVP Global Human Resources also served on the compliance team with current PGS ASA President and CEO, Rune Olav Pedersen. Pedersen served as Petroleum Geo-Services ASA General Counsel when the forged documents were created and used to support the gas-lighting termination settlement contract negotiation discussions and illegal termination of a foreign worker whistleblower under false pretenses. Bjolseth and Pedersen oversaw the defrauding of UK, Norway, and USA government agencies. PGS ASA has actively deceived investors and the UN Global Compact select committee through misrepresentations covering-up PGS ASA executive and PGS ASA Board of Directors criminal acts.
Following the signing of the 5 December 2013 termination settlement agreement by SDK, SDK returned to the country of his citizenship, USA. In fact, the terms and conditions of the 5 December 2013 termination settlement agreement included provisions for the reimbursement of household moving costs from Weybridge, England to Houston, Texas, USA. The reimbursements related to the 5 December 2013 termination settlement contract terms and conditions were not paid until May – June 2014. Thus, the 5 December 2013 termination settlement agreement terms and conditions were not fulfilled until the reimbursement payments were made to SDK. (SDK never liked these terms and conditions including payments made after the signing of the 5 December 2013 termination agreement, but accepted them on advice and recommendation of his counsel, Philip Landau / Holly Rushton.) The SDK personal data processed to support the termination settlement contract had never been truthfully related by LZW to client, SDK. Most every contract provision requested by SDK to his solicitor, Philip Landau / Holly Rushton, was not accepted into the final termination settlement agreement.
PGS ASA / PGS Exploration UK Limited filed criminal defamation charges in Thailand through Thailand law firm Duensing Kippen lawyer Tippaya Moonmanee who was engaged to forward illegal criminal claims intended to silence protected public disclosure and illegally destroy evidence. PGS ASA / Watson Farley & Williams (offices in Thailand) and Thai law firm Duensing – Kippen stole SDK website nopgs.com and destroyed evidence in an effort to escape accountability for numerous crimes.PGS ASA, Watson Farley & Williams, Landau, Zeffertt and Weir and Duensing Kippen law firms have worked together to manipulate the legal systems and deny SDK legal due process. These legal firms have abused their agency, violated laws in several countries, and also violated the human rights of SDK and his family. Law enforcement refused to investigate and help the victim of crimes.
PGS ASA / PGSUK Bribed WFW and LZW to Cooperate in a Confidence Fraud and to Utter Forged Documents used to Illegally Terminate and Professionally Blacklist (defame) a Foreign Worker Whistleblower
SDK claims of a conspiracy to defame and defraud a whistleblower have been published since 2016. PGS ASA “Compliance” have also been notified multiple times. PGS ASA and Watson Farley & Williams are criminal cover-up entities. No one mentioned by name in my many online publications has ever challenged my claims directly because they are all actors in the criminal conspiracy to defraud and defame a whistleblower! PGS ASA has invested heavily in deceiving stakeholders and investors. The PGS ASA Board of Directors have been directly involved in the criminal acts. A dysfunctional Norway corporate governance promotes and protects criminals who rob and assault foreign worker whistleblowers and their family!
PGS ASA violates most every principle of the UN Global Compact.
PGS ASA / PGSUK, WFW, and LZW cooperated in the conspiracy, gas-lighting (misrepresentation/fraud) and withholding of information from SDK until he agreed, under duress, to terms and conditions that by in large benefited PGS ASA / PGSUK who had been accused through a workplace greivance submitted 20 September 2013 of workplace mobbing, harassment, discrimination, breaching the terms and conditions of the original employment contract and UK employment laws. PGS ASA / PGSUK obstructed my legal rights, under contract governed by the laws of England to submit a grievance. However, I insisted. The grievance which SDK delivered to PGS ASA / PGSUK 20 September 2013 met the standard of protected public disclosure (whistleblowing) described within the UK Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998 (PIDA).
SDK first whistleblowing publication was published on LinkedIn Pulse 3 July 2015.
PGS ASA / PGSUK illegally retaliated against my whistleblowing through denying SDK his legal right to proceed through the grievance process described within the PGS UK Personnel Handbook. PGS ASA / PGSUK, WFW, and LZW cooperated in denying SDK his legal right under contract governed by the laws of England. PGS ASA / PGSUK, WFW, and LZW also did not process a report submitted by an occupational health nurse who diagnosed stressed health conditions and recommended follow-up check-up. The OHN report (by Maggie Bream) also contradicts the documented narrative being uttered by forged documents within SDKs PGS ASA / PGSUK professional personnel file. PGS ASA / PGSUK, WFW, and LZW processed defamatory forged documents and withheld a medical report recommending medical care to support an illegal termination settlement contract used to illegally terminate a foreign worker whistleblower. Throughout this conspiracy to defraud and defame (professionally blacklist) the target of health-harming workplace abuse, PGS ASA / PGSUK, WFW, and LZW also violated foreign worker employment reporting provisions (Tier 2 visa sponsorship of worker and dependent family members) and withheld or fabricated material immigrant worker data from UK Government Border Agency. Concurrent to all this, PGS (Petroleum Geo-Services) ASA Board of Directors were pursuing membership status into the UN Global Compact making commitments to work against the many human rights and employment law violations that PGS ASA Board of Directors had just perpetrated against a foreign worker whistleblower.Disgusting!
PGS ASA Board of Directors have been deceiving investors and stakeholders since at least 2013. Demand police investigation of the PGS ASA Board of Directors and Executive Team.
PGS ASA / PGSUK, WFW, and LZW not only defrauded and defamed a foreign worker whistleblower, but also actively sought to deceive UK, Norway, and USA government agencies, as well as PGS ASA investors and stakeholders. PGS ASA, WFW, and LZW have never attempted to counter these allegations even though SDK is bound by contractual non-disparagement clauses governed by the laws of England.
Corporate Corruption is a Substantial Cost for Law Abiding Businesses and Customers. Corporate Corruption Pollutes the Global Market Place.
PGS ASA has been determined to decieve the upstream oil and gas industry. PGS ASAs UK affiliate, PGS Exploration UK Limited, sponsored a US citizen and Thai-USA family on a work visa under contract governed by the laws of England. PGS ASA defamed and defrauded the USA citizen whistleblower, illegally terminated SDK from employment and blacklisted him through transferring (US Federal mail/wire fraud) defamatory forged documents to Houston, Texas. SDK has published legally protected public disclosure presenting evidence of PGS ASA crimes. PGS ASA has never acted on contractual Confidentiality / non-disparagement clauses to legally rectify the situation. PGS ASA has avoided their legal obligations under the laws of England (and Norway) to protect the company reputation. PGS ASA has continued to defame and defraud the whistleblower, SDK, and the oil and gas industry through misrepresenting whistleblowing as defamation. SDK PUBLISHES THE TRUTH! PGS ASA extorted SDK through illegally using the Thailand criminal justice system and misrepresenting protected disclosure as criminal defamation. PGS ASA HAS NEVER LEGALLY PROVED DEFAMATION. PGS ASA is defrauding the Thailand courts. PGS compelled the signing of a contract in Thailand to silence SDK. PGS ASA has harassed and filed false criminal charges in Thailand against SDK. I am tired of the BULLSHIT! PGS ASA: Bring your false THAILAND claims to TEXAS! FBI: PLEASE INVESTIGATE NORWEGIAN CORPORATE ORGANIZED CRIME.Chairman Qvam, et al.: The PGS board of directors and several senior managers are corrupt and have behaved immorally and criminally to the detriment of the enterprise and its stakeholders. PGS board of directors and several senior managers, including compliance officers, need to be investigated thoroughly by a third-party for corruption and fraud. (Published online 18 June 2017 and referenced with 9 September 2018 (more than 1-year after publication is not actionable, per UK Limitation Act 1980) Criminal Defamation claim filed in Thailand by PGS ASA UK Subsidiary)
Walter Qvam is the PGS ASA Chairman of the Board of Directors. I published Open Letter to Petroleum Geo-Services ASA Board of Directors (18-Jun-2017). SDK never received any response. In September 2018, more than the one-year allowed by the UK Limitation Act 1980 to file a defamation claim, PGS ASA hired a Thailand legal firm Duensing – Kippen (Tippaya Moonmanee & Olaf Duensing) delivered a criminal defamation claim to an address in Thailand where SDK resided. However, SDK was not at the address when the claim was delivered there. The claim referenced passages from the Open Letter within the claim written in the Thai language. Why didn’t the PGS ASA Board of Directors respond to the letter? And why did the Board of Directors believe a good response was to translate passages into the Thai language? Does this really seem like the best way to solve a problem?
PGS ASA has used Search Engine Manipulation to Suppress Negative Legally Protected Public Disclosure – Whistleblowing – and Misinform Investors and Stakeholders. PGS ASA has never actually stated what specifically is untrue within SDKs publications. PGS ASA has been requested multiple times to explain a 25 October 2013 Memo that was used to support my termination settlement contract. The Memo is alleged to be a defamatory forged document referencing documents and events which do not exist. It was used to illegally terminate a foreign worker whistleblower fraudulently on false pretenses. PGS ASA, Watson Farley & Williams, and LZW Solicitors conspired to utter this forgery as well as withhold medical care from SDK to advance their fraudulent termination settlement contract.
The legal agreements between PGS ASAs UK affiliate, PGS Exploration UK Limited and SDK are governed by the laws of England. The Confidentiality terms and conditions prohibiting parties from disparaging one another were included within the original employment contract signed in 2010 as well as the termination settlement agreement/contract signed 5 December 2013. The legal bar for disparagement is much lower than defamation. Yet, PGS ASA never chose to litigate on contractual breaches governed by the laws of England? In April 2018, PGS Exploration UK Limited Secretary, Carl Richards, hired Thai legal firm Duensing Kippen to file criminal defamation charges while the foreign worker (USA citizen), victim of crimes and whistleblower resided in Thailand. How is this legal and not a breach in the original terms and conditions of the contracts governed by the laws of England? Why is this not fiduciary negligence for the Secretary of a English company not to act on breaches in the legal terms and conditions of a signed legal instrument? There can be no defamation without disparagement. Further, under English law, defamation is not a crime. The whistleblower and crime victim regarded the threats from Carl Richards and Duensing Kippen lawyer Tippaya Moonmanee to be extortion / blackmail. Further, how can an agent of a company governed by the laws of England give legal authority to a (foreign) lawyer to bypass legal agreements that they are bound to in their resident country. PGS ASA does not list any subsidiaries in Thailand.
PGS ASA defamed and defrauded SDK and the LinkedIn community through their pathological lies. PGS ASA are clearly aware of my social media whistle blowing. However, PGS ASA do not invoke the terms and conditions of contracts which prohibit disparagement. Instead, PGS ASA simply remove/delete truthful content by claiming it is “defamatory” to LinkedIn. LinkedIn restricts me for publishing protected public disclosure because PGS ASA lies to LinkedIn. PGS ASA is able to avoid the courts of England which govern our contracts. PGS ASA employees are rewarded for violating the PGS Code of Conduct and PGS Core Values. This essentially is PGS ASA bribing personnel to participate in the fraud and defamation of a whistleblower and continue to misinform the oil and gas industry making it less safe. PGS ASA executives pay and promote personnel to lie for the corrupt and narcissistic PGS board of directors and executives. The Compliance Team and Audit Team criminals are promoted to protect criminals on the board of directors and inside the Norwegian government. Norway has a dysfunctional corporate governance that lies to the global market. PGS ASA needs to be investigated along with connections to corruption in Telenor and Equinor!
PGS ASA and SDK Contracts are still Active. Whistleblower SDK believes that the contract signed 13 December 2013 is a fraudulent instrument supported by defamatory forged documents which was executed to illegally terminate a foreign worker whistleblower. PGS ASA refuses to follow their own policy and conduct a thorough investigation because the PGS ASA board of directors are directly implicated in the alleged fraud and graft to harm the whistleblower and his family.The legal relationship between SDK and PGS ASA is governed by the laws of England. Under English law, defamation is not a crime but a tort. PGS ASA has thwarted English and Norwegian law and pursued criminal defamation charges in Thailand. The whistleblower believes these actions are illegal (fraud, blackmail, etc.) and intended to pervert the course of justice and destroy publicly published evidence of PGS ASA board of directors crimes.
PGS ASA continue their offenses against a Whistlebblower
The corrupt PGS ASA board of directors continue to promote executive management that support the illegal actions against whistleblowers and shield those with fiduciary responsibility to PGS ASA from any and all accountability for corrupt actions.
SDK had stated within several publications that he was a whistleblower and therefore his content was legal and protected under the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality clauses both in the original employment contract and the 5 December 2013 termination settlement agreement / contract. In fact, the intent of these public disclosures was to force PGS ASA to act on the terms and conditions of their contracts. The main topic of the public disclosures was that PGS ASA is uttering defamatory forged documents as SDK personal data. This fraudulent data was illegally used to support a termination settlement contract under false pretenses to the detriment of a whistleblower who had revealed several compliance and legal breaches through SDKs submission of a workplace grievance, 20 September 2013. The law providing legal protection for whistleblowers which is referenced within both the terms and conditions of these contracts is the UK Public Interests Disclosure Act 1998 (PIDA). I do not believe that litigation initiated on behalf of an agent of / or an English company has the authority to take away that legal right. An English company actions cannot be above the laws of England. Therefore, I have always regarded the PGS ASA subsidized litigation in Thailand against a whistleblower as illegal. The legal and contractual obligation of PGS ASA UK is to investigate whistleblowing claims and not to retaliate against the whistleblower, SDK.Retalitation against whistleblowers is illegal.
The Petroleum Geo-Services (PGS) Ambush Meeting and the Definition of Fraud (24-May-2016)Watson Farley & Williams’ Rhodri Thomas and Neeta Aulak have been accused by whistleblower and crime victim SDK of participating in the confidence fraud and perverting the course of justice through their uttering of defamatory forged documents used to illegally terminate and blacklist a whistleblower.LZW Solicitors Philip Landau and Holly Rushton have been accused by whistleblower and crime victim SDK of participating in the confidence fraud and perverting the course of justice through their uttering of defamatory forged documents used to illegally terminate and blacklist a whistleblower. Landau and Rushton formally represented SDK but acted as double agents. SDK believes Landau and Rushton were bribed by PGS ASA / Watson Farley & Williams to work against the interests of their client, SDK. Email evidence has been published which supports these allegations.
SDK believes that his original whistleblowing claim was obstructed through a confidence fraud. PGS ASA, represented by the UK affiliate of firm Watson Farley & Williams and SDK legal counsel, Landau, Zeffert and Weir Solicitors (LZW) [now Landau Law] who acted as a double-agent, participated in a confidence fraud where uttered forged defamatory documents were created and / or processed to support an illegal termination contract. SDK has alleged and published online evidence that supports claims that PGS ASA bribed all of the lawyers involved with negotiating the illegal settlement contract which obstructed and deprived SDK his legal rights under English law and contract to file and process through the steps a workplace grievance. The workplace grievance submitted by SDK met the standard of whistleblowing defined by PIDA. These illegal actions facilitated the illegal termination of employment of a foreign worker whistleblower. PGS ASA processed the forged and defamatory content with the sinister and criminal intention to blacklist their victim of crimes from future employment in the geophysical exploration industry. The corrupt board of directors participated in this fraud of the marine seismic industry. Their illegal retaliation of a whistleblower was carried out to preserve a ficticious principled company reputation which cared for the health and safety concerns of its workers. Following this confidence fraud, PGS ASA publicly announced their membership in the UN Global Compact (23 December 2013) which admonishes every and all actions which PGS ASA had just participated in! PGS ASA even had the audacity to feature one of the main criminals in their confidence fraud, Simon Cather, Marine Contract Africa Regional President, as their anti-corruption role model within the PGS ASA 2013 Responsibility Report! This punctuates PGS ASAs disrespect for customers and shareholders through publishing known falsehoods intended to entice investment and confidence in PGS ASA. PGS ASA did not only defraud and defame a whistleblower, but defrauded the entire marine seismic industry. PGS ASA and Watson Farley & Williams’ NOT invoking the Confidentiality Clauses in the Contracts that they formed demonstrates either a reckless disregard for the PGS ASA reputation that they have a fiduciary responsility to protect or active participation in crimes against a whistleblower. Thus, any damages to PGS ASA reputation is in fact in either case the fault of the PGS ASA board of directors.
Why did PGS ASA wait until my blog post articles became defamatory and not simply disparaging? My initial post was on LinkedIn Pulse 3 July 2015.
No One Had ever Complained to me Directly Regarding Online Publications Prior to 26 March 2018
A person purporting to be PGS Exploration UK Limited company secretary, Carl Richards, first threatened legal action as a private person from an unverified personal e-mail account. Had my content been in breach of any legal agreements, Carl Richards on behalf of PGS Exploration UK Limited should have referenced the signed legal agreements governed by the laws of England and not litigation in Thailand. “Carl Richards” who sent this e-mail never verified his identity nor answered a plethorad of legal questions. “Carl Richards” was asking for the removal of posted articles with his name mentioned only. Whistleblowing articles had been posted since 3 July 2015. Under the UK Limitation Act 1980, the applicable limitation for defamation is one year from the date of accrual of the claim, which in libel claims accrued at the time of publication. This would mean no action could be made on my publications predating March 2017. Further, PGS ASA had never fulfilled their fiduciary obligation to investigate my whistleblowing claims. PGS ASA compliance was contacted multiple times from April – September 2016 (these communications have also been posted) and provided content and links to content to reference for comment. PGS ASA never even commented on any content. I do not believe that Carl Richards could legally launch a claim divorced from his legal position with PGS Exploration UK Limited. PGS ASA, as usual, never answered any of these questions.
In September 2018, PGS ASA, delivered “Legal Claims” to SDK in Thailand. PGS ASA had never commented or reached out to SDK about his publications prior to delivering “criminal defamation” charges through through legal firm Duensing Kippen. Duensing Kippen lawyer Tippaya Moonmanee had never stated she was representing PGS ASA prior to this time. In fact, Carl Richards had been explicit in the fact that he was prosecuting his case apart from PGS ASA as an individual. Two criminal complaints were delivered to the address where I was residing in Thailand just after I had departed. I was not there to receive these threatening “Legal Notices” which were written in the Thai language. The summons’ were also written and e-mailed to SDK in the Thai language to SDK (or his relatives) in Thailand. Neither Carl Richards not PGS ASA had ever specifically identified defamatory content. PGS ASA wanted all SDK publications to be removed and refer to all content published on private site nopgs.com erroneously as “defamatory.” I considered this global misrepresentation of my legal and protected public disclosure (under English law) to be fraudulent.
Lawyer Tippaya Monmanee with Thailand legal firm Duensing Kippen contacted me by e-mail in May 2018 threatening legal action on behalf of Carl Richards. At this point, PGS ASA had never answered several important questions. However, as I was residing in Thailand at the time, I had to take these e-mails seriously. I did not then, and do not now, regard the litigation initiated in Thailand as legal. Defamation implies a false statement. I had taken care not to write known falsehoods and also supplemented my allegations with evidence (email and other time-tagged records). From April – September 2016, SDK sent several emails with content or links to my legally protected public disclosure to PGS ASA Compliance Hotline. PGS ASA never acknowledged nor investigated my evidence supplemented accusations of criminal and non-compliant acts by parties who processed the 20 September 2013 grievance / whistleblowing document. PGS ASA and Carl Richards’ objective was to force the removal / de-publication of evidence of PGA ASA board of directors and executive non-compliant and criminal acts. The new litigation is sponsored only by PGS ASA. Carl Richards, who initiated the sham litigation, has dropped out of site and is not included in the more recent “Legal Notices” which falsely claim my legal and protected public disclosure under English law is “criminal defamation” in Thailand.
I believe that PGS ASA, Watson Farley & Williams, Duensing Kippen, and Carl Richards are defrauding the Thai criminal justice system, the global geophysical industry, PGS ASA investors and stakeholders, and of course SDK through their vexatious litigation in Thailand against SDK.Only criminal morons would need to translate content published in English into Thai to prove defamation! Shareholders and investors must demand a thorough criminal investigation.
PGS ASA is actively continuing their misinformation campaign through labeling SDK published content as “defamatory” and not sincere legally protected public disclosure. PGS ASA continue to their defamation and defrauding of a foreign worker whistleblower. PGS ASA is able to promote personnel (bribe) to protect the false narrative and the PGS ASA board of directors from explanation and accountability. PGS ASA board of directors and executives are knowingly misrepresenting SDK personal data that they process as legal and accurate even though the forged documents do not bare the signature of the data subject and contradict facts contained within e-mail documents. SDK personal data being processed by PGS ASA does not meet the most basic legal standard or best practices. Norway’s government has been anemic in their actions to investigate whistleblower claims and protect the economic interests of PGS ASA investors. It seems that the Norwegian government sponsors, protects and promotes corrupt corporate executives in order to preserve Norway’s false reputation as a much lower corruption country to entice business.
Duensing Kippen lawyers Olaf Duensing and Tippaya Moonmanee directly participated in the alleged confidence fraud, extortion and blackmail of a whistleblower.SDK wants PGS ASA to confirm which content it has processed. The UK Limitation Act 2010 does not allow claims of defamation for publications which have been in the public domain over one-year.PGS ASA, through PGS UK Head of Legal, John Francas, does not specify which published content has been processed by PGS ASA. John Francas / PGS ASA are misrepresenting in their SAR response. PGS ASA had been provided with content and / or links to legally protected public disclosures from April – September 2016. Included with these was another SAR in 2016. Copies of these emails were provided to PGS ASA DPO, Daphne Bjerke, PGS ASA / John Francas do not mention how the 2016 emails sent to PGS ASA compliance was processed.In July 2018, PGS ASA was still claiming the validity of the 5 December 2013 settlement agreement governed by the laws of England. However, in September 2018 PGS ASA sponsored litigation demanded that SDK sign a contract governed by the laws of Thailand. The contracts signed in Thailand were completely unnecessary and contained similar non-disparagement or gagging clauses. Gagging clauses are illegal under Norwegian law and unenforceable under English law (PIDA, 43J). Under staffed ICO and ActionFraud (police) facilitate White Collar crime.
John Francas, on behalf of PGS ASA, knowingly misrepresents the SDK personal data which PGS ASA processes. PGS ASA is allowed to continue their harassment and litigation in Thailand without addressing the multitude of inconsistencies and lies.
PGS ASA CONTRACTS ARE NOW GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THAILAND?
Asking for a thorough EEA Police Investigation is NOT DEFAMATION, it is a normal request for victims of crimes and abuse
PGS ASA Bypasses their Written Whistleblower Procedures and Initiates Litigation in Thailand WITHOUT ANY INVESTIGATION
PGS ASA Compliance does not Respond to Numerous Complaints and Concerns
5 December 2013 Contract Confidentiality terms and conditions between PGS Exploration (UK) Limited & SDK
SDK Challenges the Legality of this Contract because the supporting personnel file documents being processed are inaccurate defamatory forgeries that bare no subject countersignature. I believe their creation was intended to illegally terminate and then blacklist a whistleblower. SDK began publishing online whistleblowing blogs/articles 3 July 2015. PGS ASA has never taken any legal action under the terms and conditions of contracts governed by the laws of England. Why not? UK Legal firm Watson, Farley and Williams advised on this contract.
PGS ASA (PGS), a Norwegian based multi-national company with affiliate offices located around the world, believes that I have damaged the company brand and its agent’s reputations to a criminal level – in Thailand? By PGS ASAs own acknowledgement, the brand value has been diminished thousands of dollars (USD) through their extortive pursuit of legal justice in Thailand. PGS ASA hired Thailand legal firm Duensing – Kippen to deliver these civil and criminal complaints on behalf of their UK affiliate PGS Exploration (UK) Limited (PGSUK) to their former worker contracted under the laws of England. By what legal authority can lawyers in Thailand deliver such complaints? PGS ASA has no affiliate offices in Thailand and besides no contracts were ever signed between us even if they did. UK Legal firm, Watson, Farley and Williams advised on these contracts governed by the laws of England? Why isn’t their competence being challenged?
What PGS ASA shareholders and potential investors must consider is what levels of incompetence and/or corruption must exist within the direction and management of PGS ASA that would require the abandonment of Norwegian or English legal due process in favor of the Thai legal system to address such damage to the corporate brand?
PGS ASA has already acknowledged that the PGS ASA brand has been damaged to a criminal level. Their Thai claims state financial damages, as well. But whose fault are these damages really? Real legal due process has been thwarted. Citizens of Norway and the world must ask what levels of corruption must exist within the Norwegian corporate governance processes that would allow a Norwegian company board of directors and executives the ability to solve problems outside the corporate legal framework of Norway? Similarly, for the UK affiliate, outside the legal framework of England? I have published real evidence that the PGS ASA board of directors and executive management were very directly involved in a criminal conspiracy and assault of me and my family – emphasis my children! I have begged for intervention by government law enforcement to conduct a thorough investigation. There has been no answer to reasonable requests from from a dysfunctional UK ActionFraud. I was a foreign worker employed on a Tier 2 visa when I was an initial victim of crimes perpetrated by the Norwegian organized crime syndicate UK affiliate. I have had to be bound by the legal framework under the laws of England for several years. PGS ASA has been able to ignore legal contractual confidentiality clauses explicitly in place to protect against disparaging public disclosure.
It is the board of directors job is to guide the business legally and successfully. These are concurrent and not mutually exclusive requirements. In Norway, legally means following the laws of Norway and not the laws of the Kingdom of Thailand. For directors of an English company, this similarly means that the laws of England must be followed. It is my view that such a reliance on the Thai legal system by Norwegian company PGS ASA demonstrates serious corruption. At the very least, such directing and management demonstrates serious dysfunction of internal governance processes. It is not legal to pay someone to commit a crime on your behalf. Diana Lovejoy, a USA citizen, was sentenced to 26 years to life in prison for hiring a man to kill her husband. The would be assassin was sentenced to 50 years to life. Her husband was not killed, but the hiring of someone with the intent to kill was a serious crime in of itself. By what legal authority does the PGS ASA board of directors have to hire a Thai legal firm to exercise defamation claims outside the legal contractual confidentiality clauses governed by the laws of England? I have asked several times, how can one be guilty of criminal defamation under Thai law and not in contractual breach under English law when the “plaintiff” is an English company governed by the laws of England? How is no response by PGS ASA general counsel Lars Mysen not fraud?
PGS ASA hired Thailand law firm Duensing – Kippen to break UK laws provided through contract. Duensing – Kippen harassed, blackmailed and extorted me and my Thai family members. In fact, much of this harassment was done to my Thai family members whilst I was in the USA. PGS ASA did not possess the legal authority to deny me my rights under English law, and therefore neither does Duensing – Nippen as an agent of a company governed by the laws of England. I believe that PGS ASA bribed Duensing – Kippen to break English and Thai laws on their behalf, which is illegal! My published disclosures claim that PGS ASA legal advisers under English law, Watson, Farley and Williams were previously bribed to utter forged documents to support a false pretense for a fraudulent settlement contract agreement. Both PGS ASA and Watson, Farley and Williams also withheld advised medical treatment and destroyed evidence to affect the fraudulent settlement contract. PGS ASA board of directors oversaw and approved of all of these violent illegal premeditated acts intended to harm a whistleblower and his family. NO LAWYERS REPRESENTING PGS ASA CAN AUTHENTICATE THE PROCESSES AND DOCUMENTS USED TO TERMINATE MY EMPLOYMENT. Which means PGS ASA and their legal advisers are all involved in a health harming criminal conspiracy to defraud and defame a whistleblower. Norway promotes and protects these accused criminals rather than investigate them!
I therefore believe that there must be corruption at the government level of Norway overseeing their oil and gas industry that allows such brazen behavior by its corporate executive class.
Executives who do not recognize harassment and workplace bullying as a serious health and safety issues are not qualified to lead offshore operations. Executives who engage in fraud, bribery, and defamation to pervert the course of justice and hide their crimes should be in jail!
This publication is legally protected public interests disclosure, or whistleblowing, provided through contracts governed by the laws of England referencing UK Public Interests Disclosure Act 1998 (PIDA).Watson, Farley & Williams advised PGS ASA on contracts between PGS ASA and SDK governed by the laws of England. Why are Watson, Farley & Williams silent now?
Duensing Kippen have allegedly been bribed by PGS ASA UK subsidiary to illegally breach contracts governed by the laws of England and blackmail / extort a USA citizen foreign worker whistleblower. The (fraudulent) contract that SDK was compelled under threat of criminal prosecution in Thailand is illegal under Norway law and gagging clauses unenforceable under UK laws. The Duensing – Kippen contract had two resolution jurisdictions: The Kingdom of Thailand and USA, Houston, Texas. Lawyers Tippaya Moonmanee and Olaf Duensing misrepresented their qualification to adjudicate in US Federal Court. MORE FRAUD!
On 15 May 2018, Thailand law firm Duensing – Kippen formally acted to become a co-conspirator to defraud, defame and endanger the health and welfare of a USA citizen, his Thai citizen wife, and their Thai – USA children. Duensing – Kippen delivered an illegal letter making knowingly false claims at the behest of Norwegian company PGS ASA, Global law firm Watson, Farley, & Williams, along with UK Law firm LZW Solicitors. I believe that Duensing – Kippen avoided normal due diligence and knowingly ignored violating contractual jurisdiction issues and whistleblower protection laws (PIDA). The forementioned legal firms were bribed by my former employer, PGS ASA, to violate the law and invalidate previous agreements governed by the laws of England. As an agent of an English company, Duensing – Kippen are breaking the laws of Englandand Thailand to persecute a USA citizen victim of fraud and abuse. Threatening e-mail correspondence to a USA citizen is mail/wire fraud and RICO Act violations. The conspirators wanted to silence my evidence backed accusations of crimes and escape answering accusations in the English legal system where multiple laws were (alleged) violated. SDK submitted his first report to UK ActionFraud (police) 24 August 2015 upon my first realizing I was a victim of fraud. I have submitted several reports since then!The PGS ASA and Watson, Farley & Williams corporate governance and legal compliance / audit aparatus are dysfunctional and criminally corrupt. The UK police aparatus are also notably disfunctional and most fraud reports are not investigated and fraudsters are free to run amuck!
Most my posts have been a plea for government legal authorities to take action and investigate. My accusations are backed by evidence, unlike the ridiculous fraudulent claims submitted by Duensing – Kippen on behalf of PGS ASA!
Victims of organized corporate crime do not have the resources nor authority to punish white collar criminals, such as the several identified within my blog posts and articles. PGS ASA and Watson, Farley & Williams have all of the necessary avenues of legal recourse available to them within the English legal system.
PGS ASA and Watson, Farley & Williams are illegally using and corrupting the Thailand criminal justice system to avoid the English legal system.

Defrauding Government agencies in UK, USA, Norway & Thailand
I am a USA citizen married to a Thai woman. From September 2010 – December 2013, I worked in England. PGS Exploration UK Limited, 4 The Heights, Brooklands, Weybridge, England KT13 0NY (PGSUK) sponsored me on a employment Tier 2 visa (Special Occupation List). My wife and I, along with our Thai – USA citizen children were all sponsored by PGSUK to live in England. D We were all owed a Duty of Care by PGSUK when we lived there from 26 September 2010 – 31 December 2020. PGS violated the terms and conditions of my employment contract multiple times. When I complained to key Norwegian executives about the misconduct, breach of contract, health and safety violations, and violations in UK law, parent company, PGS ASA retaliated. I was illegally terminated through fraudulent contract supported by uttered forged documents intended to illegally blacklist me in the industry. The fraud reached the very top of the organization and its board of directors. Watson, Farley and Williams negotiated the final termination settlement contract terms and conditions, as well as advised PGS on my Tier 2 visa. All involved lawyers have remained silent.
Two contracts were signed between myself and PGS Exploration (UK) Limited. Both were governed by the laws of England and contained clauses protecting whistleblowing through the Public Interests Disclosure Act 1998 [PIDA].Where does Duensing – Kippen get the legal authority to breach / bypass contracts governed by the laws of England?
Duensing – Kippen decided to aid in the assault and robbery of me and my law – abiding Thai family. Duensing – Kippen’s threats terrorized my mother – in – law to the extent that she went to the hospital. She was very very traumatized and made ill by the illegal actions taken by Duensing – Kippen.
The charges drafted by Duensing – Kippen are fraudulent and supported by no evidence whatsoever. All lawyer refuse to acknowledge my publications as legal and protected public disclosure exposing criminal activity at the highest level of three (3) organizations: PGS ASA, Watson, Farley & Williams, and Landau Law (formally LZW Solicitors). The three (3) companies, two of which are law firms, participated in forming the final termination settlement contract which I claim to be fraudulent. All agents mentioned within my publications are all located in England. The contract is written in the English language. However, PGSUK is paying Duensing – Kippen to translate publications from English into Thai? .
Duensing – Kippen has decided to become an active part of the criminal conspiracy and cover-up through further damaging and traumatizing the victims crimes perpetrated by their client, PGS Exploration UK Limited. THESE ARE MY CLAIMS, BACKED BY DOCUMENTED EVIDENCE. I PLEA FOR A FAIR AND OBJECTIVE THOROUGH INVESTIGATION – what PGS ASA policy promises. UK Police are disfunctional and have refused multiple reports/requests to investigate.
Duensing – Kippen presents NO EVIDENCE of DEFAMATION. Carl Richards is a lawyer and former Company Secretary for PGS Exploration UK Limited. Why isn’t Richards citing the terms and conditions of the employment contract he oversaw that’s governed by the laws of England?
DUENSING – KIPPEN STOP YOUR ILLEGAL HARASSMENT OF A USA CITIZEN WHISTLEBLOWER AND HIS THAI FAMILY. KIPPEN SHOULD KNOW UK LAW THAT THEIR CLIENT IS OBLIGED TO FOLLOW.
Duegsing – Kippen is an agent of PGS Exploration UK Limited, a UK Company obliged to follow the laws of England.
PGS ASA is illegally trying to gag a whistleblower
No need for translation.
Duensing – Kippen has no verifiable / legal evidence of defamation by SDK. The 2019 claims have never been delivered to the defendant. PGS ASA through Thailand law firm Duensing – Kippen deliver their claims in the Thai language to the home of SDK Thai relatives and not his legal address. PGS ASA and Duensing – Kippen demand that I travel from USA to Thailand to address these legal claims when my publications have already provided evidence that PGS ASA bribes lawyers to pervert the course of justice. PGS ASA has been accused since 2016 of criminal conspiracy and bribing Watson, Farley & Williams (UK) and Landau Law (UK) to utter forged documents and engage in fraud to damage a USA citizen whistleblower. Duensing – Kippen has been aware of my claims of being a whistleblower since 2018 when Carl Richards, former PGS Exploration UK Limited company secretary, initiated threats of legal action in Thailand. I posted then that I believed his threats to be blackmail/extortion. I continue to believe this today. Duensing – Kippen and PGS ASA have always ignored my claims that my publications were legal and protected. PGS has never followed the laws of England nor the UK company policy. PGS has never investigated my claims.
Their client is uttering forged documents that were used to support the illegal termination of a Tier 2 sponsored visa holder. PGS ASA and Watson, Farley & WilliamsUK affiliates have defrauded UK, Norway, USA, and Thailand government agencies. PGS ASA & Watson, Farley & Williams have misrepresented defamatory forged documents as legal documents. PGS ASA and Watson, Farley & Williams have also misrepresented protected public disclosure (whistleblowing) as defamatory in the Thai legal system through law firm Duensing – Kippen. I can prove it in ENGLISH. Translation into Thai language is wholly unnecessary misappropriation of resources by PGS ASA to deflect from their crimes commited under the laws of England. If what I have written in the English language is defamatory, why is it necessary for a UK company whose contracts are written in the English language governed by the laws of England to translate into the Thai language? How did Duensing – Kippen determine the published content was defamatory (untrue and harmful)?

I contend that Duensing – Kippen agents have violated Thai criminal code/laws since May 2018 and aided and abetted PGS ASA and Watson, Farley & Williams in the harassment and destruction of evidence for crimes commited against a whistleblower. My publications conform to the standard of legal and protected public interests disclosure or whistleblowing. The publications are not defamation and should be investigated per PGS ASA & Watson, Farley & Williams policy/governance.
There is very little for any whistle blower to gain from deception and distortions. By action and words, several concerns have been presented with supporting evidence.
These prose chronicle multiple infractions of corporate governance, as well as provide evidence of serious wrong-doing that should sound alarms whether true or false. Either way, the publications should prompt action and engagement. The articles have been viewed by thousands within and outside the marine geophysical sector. They show-up in first page results to Google™ searches associated with PGS CEO Jon Erik Reinhardsen.
A fair and thorough investigation addressing a whistleblowing claim is my legal right under English law and contract. Such a request is not defamation. PGS ASA (PGS) has been defrauding and defaming me since before June 2013. There has been a continuum of perverting the course of justice with the malicious intent to harm me and my family physically and financially. PGS’ behaviors have been cruelly abusive and illegal. Thus, the collective silence of the abusers. And PGS and several of its corrupt agents know it. This is why PGS has had to bribe lawyers and other internal and external personnel to manipulate the fair legal processes owed me under law and contract. Through bribing lawyers, avenues of legal redress are obstructed. Victims of PGS ASA et al. crime and abuse cannot find justice – easily. Just as shameful has been the (alleged) illegal acts conducted on PGS’ behalf by co-conspirator, law firm Watson, Farley and Williams (WFW). The most relevant document for all the lawyers mentioned within my blog post articles is to explain the 25 October 2013 Memo signed by (then) PGS EVP Marine Contract, Per Arild Reksnes and PGS SVP Global HR Terje Bjølseth.I believe that PGS and WFW owe me hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, of (USA) dollars for their breaches in contract along with fraud, perverting the course of justice, and other illegal acts. Likely several PGS and WFW executives should go to prison too. The police need to take white-collar crime more seriously. Dysfunction and apathy destroys victims lives. The stakes are high. My initial whistleblowing claim was made in June 2013. Most every personnel and personal action taken by PGS to respond to my whistleblowing has been wrapped in illegal conspiracy. PGS and WFW have knowingly defrauded UK and Norway government agencies. This is why principals PGS and WFW refuse to detail the documentation supporting their decision making process. However, PGS ASA Capital Markets investors must demand a thorough investigation and audit as part of their fiduciary duties they own their stakeholders.
The vantage point of time-passed and actions taken has allowed me to construct the breadth of the deceitful cruel and illegal actions taken against me and my family. I have not been a quiet victim of PGS and WFW crimes. Since I first became aware of PGS’ nefarious and illegal behaviors, I have shared it publicly through blog post articles. My first blog post article which named names was published on the LinkedIn™ Pulse platform (LI) 3 July 2015. PGS and WFW continued to defame me through their choosing not to invoke the non-disparagement (Confidentiality) terms and conditions within the employment contract and subsequent termination settlement contract which rests at the center of my blog posts. Instead guilty parties and/or their enablers anonymously make their false claims of defamation to LI administrators. PGS and WFW did not want to address the published content and claims within my blog post articles in a courtroom. PGS and WFW did not want to clarify or correct the content and claims. PGS and WFW wanted my voice silenced and the content and claims de-published because they were fact-based whistleblowing exposing corruption. In August 2016, I was restricted from LI. The social media network for professionals was unintentionally (we hope) aiding and abetting corruption through restricting my account that published protected published disclosure and credible allegations of criminal activity. PGS and WFW never had to address my publications as whistleblowing which is protected within the Confidentiality clauses of both contracts. WFW formed these contracts on behalf of PGS’ UK affiliate, PGS Exploration (UK) Limited (PGSUK). Following my restriction from publishing on LI, I continued publishing content on my own dedicated website, nopgs.com (NO Psychopaths in Geo-Services). I also started using Twitter™ to publish my whistleblowing claims and to link/direct users to more detailed articles with evidence of PGS/WFW wrong-doing published on nopgs.com.
Throughout 2016, I tried multiple times to contact the PGS Compliance Hotline to voice my concerns, but never received a response. I also contacted WFW risk and compliance and received similar stonewalling. PGS further defamed me to the entire LI community through stating that they carried out a thorough investigation when they never did. I am certain of this because I know the facts. I am the subject of my personal data. I know exactly what happened. By this time, I had determined that both PGS and WFW, including compliance, were corrupt and vested in a cover-up. It also began to be clear that my legal counsel, Philip Landau with employment law firm Landau, Zeffertt and Weir Solicitors (LZW), had also been compromised. In other words, in actuality, I had had no real legal representation for my grievance – which met the criteria for whistleblowing – with PGS. WFW represented their client and my employer, the PGSUK in an illegally rigged settlement negotiation process that bypassed my legally guaranteed rights under English employment laws. With WFW guidance, PGS bypassed legally guaranteed grievance process steps as well as precautions for stressed employees, as I had stated that I was. The most significant aspect of being the mark of a conspiracy to defame and defraud in retaliation for my June 2013 whistleblowing was the fact that I was a USA citizen employed through PGSUK sponsorship of my Tier 2 visa. With all of my avenues of legal recourse compromised, the cabal was able to gaslight and break English laws with relative ease. This was all premeditated perverting the course of justice and fraud with the knowledge that such action harmed the health and safety of their target of abuse. The objective of my online publications have been to provoke PGSUK into exercising the terms and conditions of my original employment contract and especially the termination settlement agreement contract which was the outcome of the rigged negotiations between PGS, WFW, and LZW which were predicated on forged defamatory documentation.
Also, I had always wanted to go through the legal grievance process. PGSUK offered the settlement to avoid the grievance process. The underlying performance issues were never substantiated by any process or documentation and were in fact the basis for my grievance in the first place.
The mob exists in a make-believe world and then makes their decisions based on the fabricated self-delusion that they do not. PGS executives say that they have core values, but they do not apply them to their decisions. PGS executives say that their health and safety statistics are above industry standard, but they suppress and remove health and safety concerns from consideration and publication.
My publications have provided e-mail and other evidence supporting my allegations. PGS, WFW and LZW have publically misrepresented my whistleblowing, which was always legal and protected public disclosure within the definition of the UK Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998 (PIDA), to be defamation. PGS, WFW and LZW are all aware of this and that is why no legal action has ever been taken under the laws of England that governed my employment contracts. In September 2018, the directors of the PGS UK affiliate, PGS Exploration (UK) Limited (PGSUK), 4 The Heights, Brooklands, Weybridge, England, KT13 0NY (PGSUK); Rune Olav Pedersen, PGS CEO; Gottfred Langseth, PGS CFO; Christin Steen-Nilsen, PGS Chief Accountant, along with former secretary and PHS UK Head of Legal, Carl Richards, delivered criminal defamation claims to the house where I lived in Thailand. I was not there. I had just left Thailand for the United States (US) and was not able to receive the claims in person until I returned (earlier than planned) in October 2018. That’s right, a multinational marine geophysical service company based in Norway with affiliate offices located around the world believes that I have damaged the company and its agent’s reputations to a criminal level – in Thailand? Over three years since my initial publications on LI had passed, PGSUK and Carl Richards delivered summons and criminal charges of defamation while I traveled abroad. PGS does not list any offices in Thailand. On the other hand their legal representation in my case, global legal firm WFW, does have an office in Bangkok, Thailand. However, WFW has never threatened any legal action against me in spite of the fact that WFW has been mentioned in several of my articles. A different legal firm, Duensing Kippen – Attorneys & Arbitrators is representing PGS interests in Thailand.
What shareholders and potential investors must consider with PGS Capital Markets is what levels of incompetence and/or corruption must exist within the direction and management of PGS that would require the abandonment of English (and/or Norwegian) legal due process and contract law in favor of the Thai legal system?
Since July 2015 my published articles have been intended to alert PGS stakeholders of these risks. PGS has a legal department that employs lawyers whose responsibility is to review PGS business contracts and ensure that they do not expose the company to excessive risks. It is my belief that PGS’ inability to resolve contractual issues within the constraints of jurisdictional clauses exposes corrupt and incompetent management and is therefore a significant capital markets risk. Both the original contract of employment and the termination settlement contract are governed by the laws of England. Further, WFW was involved in forming the terms and conditions of the original contract of employment, assisting in the Tier 2 visa application and approval process, as well as the eventual settlement agreement which I claim is a fraudulent instrument predicated on forged and defamatory documents. PGS and WFW have refused multiple requests to confirm that the same documentation used to obtain the Tier 2 visa was also used to form the terms and conditions of the termination settlement contract agreement? Both of the legal contract agreements between PGSUK and myself were advised by WFW. Only the original employment contract and the termination settlement contract agreement bare my countersignature. All of the other personnel file documentation are signed by HR personnel and not my immediate supervisor.
This begs the question as to how did WFW ensure the accuracy and legitimacy of the signed termination settlement contract? And also, how can their be criminal defamation claims in Thailand and no breach in the non-disparagement terms and conditions in either one of the contracts governed by the laws of England? WFW is a global law firm with office in both England and Thailand. WFW advised on both the original employment contract and subsequent termination contracts which both contained Confidentiality clauses citing PIDA protections. So, how has WFW advised PGSUK in their legal actions in Thailand with firm Duensing-Kippon (DK)? The compromise agreements that I was forced to sign under threat of prosecution for criminal defamation in Thailand bypass the WFW advised legal agreements formed under the laws of England. WFW certainly should be advising PGSUK in their Thailand legal actions. WFW has never been included directly in the “legal notices” sent to me in Thailand by DK. Why not? DK is essentially being used to disassemble WFW advised agreements and take the dispute out of the legal jurisdiction of England and into Thailand. This benefits all conspirators, most notably PGS and WFW. PGSUK, an English company, is investing significant resources to stay out of the English legal system. I cannot see how this is legal under the Companies Act 2006 or English contract law. PGS, WFW, and DK remain silent, as does LZW (now Landau Law) who was supposed to represent my interests from October – December 2013.
The only formal employment action between me and PGSUK was the grievance. There were only threats of a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) being investigated, which I qualified as harassment and bullying.
Most of all, PGS executives have abused their positions and violated their agency responsibilities of trust and confidence and duty of care to maintain a healthy and safe workplace. Forgery and the uttering of forged instruments is criminal behavior.
Where does DK get its legal agency to bypass agreements formed under the laws of England? DK is an agent of PGSUK, an English company governed by the laws of England. DK cannot assume authority to break the laws of England or legal agreements that PGSUK does not legally possess as a principal. DK can only legally exercise the legal authority possessed by PGSUK. This is why I regard the legal actions being taken against me and my family in Thailand to be fraudulent. Further, there remain several pertinent unanswered questions by WFW, PGS, and LZW. How can a “poor performing employee” be legally sponsored and employed on a Tier 2 visa? WFW advised PGSUK on my Tier 2 sponsorship and reviewed all documentation submitted to the UK Border Agency in both 2010 and again in July 2013 for the visa renewal. The other question is how was the personnel file documentation establishing “performance issues” articulated within the PGSUK 24 July 2013 letter (signed by David Nicholson) vetted for process compliance, accuracy and legality? The opening negotiations by PGSUK by their representative WFW counsel, stated:
WFW has no authority nor qualified privilege to assess my performance as a Tier 2 visa sponsored employee of PGSUK. Without credible and compliant process documentation, WFW is defaming and defrauding me on behalf of PGSUK. And my counsel, LZW, is allowing this to happen? Similarly, the 24 July 2013 letter which was the predicate for my subsequent filing of a workplace grievance 20 September 2013 is defamatory as well. Without credible and compliant process documentation, PGSUK (i.e., directors and secretary) is defaming me because malicious prose also have no qualified privilege. Further, PGSUK have no direct knowledge of my work performance. I worked for no director nor secretary directly. My immediate supervisor, Edward von Abendorff, PGS Marine Contract, VP Contract Sales – Africa, has not signed any of the pertinent documentation, nor has the subject of any performance reviews, me! Even von Abendorff would not possess qualified privilege if their were malicious intent, such as bullying and mobbing an employee that they supervise to escape accountability for misconduct. PGS, aided by WFW, LZW and DK, have illegally weaponized the human resources department through the misuse of employment lawyers. Lawyers involved within my dispute with PGS have not performed their legally prescribed duties to their ability, but rather advanced a false narrative to protect PGS ASA. Lawyers involved in my case with PGS ASA have uttered forged documents lauding a defamatory narrative. The central question is what would motivate lawyers to behave this way?
When I eventually did deliver my formal grievance complaining of workplace bullying and harassment, along with multiple departures from PGSUK policy and UK contract and employment laws, I cited that the three principal bullies were, in fact, behaving with arbitrary caprice.
I have not received any requests to stop publishing my pieces by anyone, including those within PGS. The simple truth is that what I have published is indeed true. I know it. Many know it. As time passes and the truth is no longer disputed what will remain, at the very least, is a chronological record of non-action and apathy by PGS executives.
