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

More PGA ASA Blackmail / Extortion ….
Dear Mr Kalavity

This, again, will be enforced against you as a debt.
I submitted a subject access request 15 April 2020 that has not been acknowledged.
Could PGS ASA please acknowledge?
I would like to reference the Response to Access Request Dated 11 June 2018 (the “Access Request”) dated 16 July 2018 and signed by John Francas, Head of Legal, UK, Africa, and Middle East for PGS Exploration (UK) Limited (the “Fraudulent Letter”)
It seems that PGS intentionally provided material misrepresentations and also withheld material information from the data subject in this Fraudulent Letter. Please clarify if the data subject has misinterpreted the Fraudulent Letter.
———————–
The Fraudulent Letterstates:
You should also note that under the terms of the settlement agreement between you and PGS dated 5 December 2013 (the “Settlement Agreement”) you agreed not to further pursue your grievance or any analogous or substantially similar or other grievance against PGS and that PGS, nor any other company in the PGS group, shall have any further obligation to you in respect to such grievances.
———————–
The majority of my online publications do not repeat the issues of the 20 September 2013 grievance (the “grievance”) which is referenced in the Settlement Agreement. I would appreciate it if PGS ASA would specifically reference the contents of the grievance, to avoid ambiguity, since the grievance is quite long. However, as PGS ASA can reference from the copy of the grievance being processed by PGS, the Form of Grievance introduction states:
———————–
In response to the fore-mentioned meeting and the Investigation for Possible Implementation of a Performance Improvement Plan, I am initiating the grievance procedure due to my belief that PGS Contract Sales – Africa has breached in practice and principle UK labor laws, PGS Core Values, PGS UK Personnel Handbook practices, as well as established best practices as presented through PGS contracted training and development courses.
It is my contention that Contract Sales – Africa work environment is unsafe/unhealthy.
Further, the Contract Sales – Africa Manager has breached his trust and authority through exercising negative behaviors consistent with workplace bullying, harassment, discrimination, defamation and negligence.
———————–
The topic of most of my online publications have been in regard to the documents and processes which supported and led to my signing the Settlement Agreement. The grievancepresented to PGS ASA executive management was protected disclosures, or whistleblowing, according to the UK Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998 (PIDA):
In this Act a “protected disclosure” means a qualifying disclosure (as defined by section 43B) which is made by a worker in accordance with any of sections 43C to 43H.
43B Disclosures qualifying for protection.
(1) In this Part a “qualifying disclosure” means any disclosure of information which, in the reasonable belief of the worker making the disclosure, tends to show one or more of the following—
(a)that a criminal offence has been committed, is being committed or is likely to be committed,
(b)that a person has failed, is failing or is likely to fail to comply with any legal obligation to which he is subject,
(c)that a miscarriage of justice has occurred, is occurring or is likely to occur,
(d)that the health or safety of any individual has been, is being or is likely to be endangered,
(e)that the environment has been, is being or is likely to be damaged, or
(f)that information tending to show any matter falling within any one of the preceding paragraphs has been, is being or is likely to be deliberately concealed.
———————–
In October 2014, I submitted a subject access request (the “2014 SAR”) so that I could obtain the personal data that PGS was processing in my name. Firm copies of e-mail records and the contents of my PGS professional personnel file (“personnel file”) was mailed from Weybridge, England to my residence (at the time) in Houston, Texas, USA.
It was immediately recognized by me, the data subject, that several of the documents within the personnel file being processed are defamatory forgeries that are not legally verifiable. No one can verify them as authentic, because the documents are not signed by the data subject nor supported by accompanying documentation evidence. (I challenge PGS data processor, John Francas, a lawyer, to authenticate to the standard required by a court of law (England) the documents that were delivered to me. Also, the dates on the documents indicate that they were processed to support the Settlement Agreement. In other words, illegal documents were used to process the Settlement Agreement. This revelation of more (alleged) criminal activity has been the topic of most of the queries e-mailed to PGS agents and content which I have published online. This content is also protected disclosure, but not the same protected disclosure that was revealed within the grievance.
———————–
PGS references the 2014 SAR within the Fraudulent Letter:
We [PGS] have determined that applicable law allows us to deny your request on the basis that processing of your personal data, if any, that may have occurred since your previous request on 10 October 2014 (the “2014 SAR”) would have only been performed in order to seek privileged legal advice in respect to your various direct and indirect communication with or about PGS and/or its employees. Accordingly, we are denying your request under the Data Protection Act 2018, Schedule 2, paragraph 19(a).
In any event, we consider your request manifestly unfounded or excessive under GDPR Article 12(5)(b). In particular they are repetitive given the 2014 SAR and subsequent persistent requests in email correspondence in December 2014 and repeated requests in June 2018 in the days following the Access Request. It is our view that PGS provided you with a substantive response and documents in respect to the 2014 SAR.
———————–
It should be emphasized, again, that my repeated requests are a derivative of PGS ignoring my direct or indirect communications with or about PGS and/or its employees. PGS has had multiple opportunities to answer simple questions, but irresponsibly refuse to do so, as with the Fraudulent Letter that answers nothing and instead makes continued online publications and queries inevitable.
Of course, PGS is aware that I rejected their citing Data Protection Act 2018, Schedule 2, paragraph 19(a) as a reason for denying a responsible response to my several queries stemming from the 2014 SAR response. If PGS actually read and acknowledged the contents of my online publications, PGS would understand that I believe that PGS continues to utter forged defamatory documents (criminal behavior) as my personal data.
———————–
Data Protection Act 2018, Schedule 2, paragraph 19(a) – Legal Professional Privilege
19 The listed GDPR provisions do not apply to personal data that consists of –
Information in respect of which a claim to legal professional privilege or, in Scotland, confidentiality of communications, could be maintained in legal proceedings.
One of the exceptions to the attorney-client privilege is the crime-fraud exception. This exception applies when communications are made in the furtherance of a crime or fraud. In other words, the attorney-client privilege is not a shield to be used by either the attorney or the client to pursue or cover up criminal activity, including acts contributing to the obstruction or perversion of justice.
———————–
With regard to the 2014 SAR, during November – December 2014, following the receipt of the data received from PGS, I wrote several e-mails stating my concerns about the integrity of the data that PGS processed in my name. On 22 December 2014, PGS sent a response letter to me by post and e-mail (the “Extortion Letter”):
———————–
Data Processing Queries – PGS Exploration (UK) Limited (the “Company”)
I am writing further your e-mail correspondence of 5, 6, and 20 December 2014.
Please be aware that, to the extent that your queries and comments relate to issues which were not raised in your grievance of 20 September 2013, the Company is willing to take reasonable and proportionate steps to accommodate your requests.
———————–
Instead, a copy of your email of 5 December has been placed on your personnel file (and is held also in our email and document database), and the points you have raised about the data we hold are accordingly held together with your other personal data. We regard this as a satisfactory and proportionate approach to our obligation to ensure that personal data held about you is accurate.
———————–
The only point which we think might possibly not be clear from that material would be the identities of those who have had access to your hard copy personnel file. The people who have had access to the hard copy personnel file (a copy of which was provided to you) are myself, Laura Haswell, Gareth Jones, Anna Stokle and Simon Cather, all in our capacities as your management and HR employees of the Company.
———————–
You should also be aware that, to the extent the Company incurs losses by reason of further breaches of your agreement not to pursue matters raised in that grievance, its rights are reserved to (among other remedies) bring damages claims against you for breach of contract in respect of those losses.
———————–
The Extortion Letter similarly misrepresented my concerns with the content received from the 2014 SAR as relating to the issues raised within the grievance. I was now raising issues with how the grievance was settled. The grievance itself claimed that PGS ASA was breaking the law and in breach of employment contract and PGS (UK) policy, which was whistleblowing. Upon receiving the copies of data being processed in my name by PGS, I now believed that defamatory forged documents were illegally used to process the Settlement Agreement. PGS stating that they would process the Dispute E-mail“as a satisfactory and proportionate approach to our obligation to ensure that personal data held about you is accurate” is acknowledging that inaccurate data was processed to support the Settlement Agreement. However, I did not regard that simply processing correct data after weaponized fraudulent data was used to affect a termination under false pretenses was a proportionate remedy. Not only did PGS process inaccurate (defamatory) data, but so did all the lawyers involved in using the inaccurate data. This implied a criminal conspiracy to defraud a whistleblower and terminate him illegally with a fraudulent Settlement Agreement. PGS’ solution was neither acceptable norproportionate to the data subject and victim of crimes!
I did not come to these conclusions immediately after receiving the 2014 SAR response contents. However, I did immediately believe that PGS was in breach of the Settlement Agreement. However, I hadn’t yet imagined the broader conspiracy and what it implied. The binding nature of settlement agreements made legal redress problematic. On 3 July 2015, I published on the LinkedIn™ Pulse platform, An American, the UK Data Protection Act, Petroleum Geo-Services (PGS) and the Tyranny of “Accurate Data”. PGS never invoked the Confidentiality clauses within the Settlement Agreement prohibiting the publication of disparaging content. I believed that this was protected public disclosure. On 24 August 2015, I submitted a report to UK ActionFraud (police). I continued to publish on the LinkedIn™ Pulse platform. On 6 September 2015, Petroleum Geo-Services (PGS) CEO Jon Erik Reinhardsen Should Resign was published on the LinkedIn™ Pulse platform, followed on 20 September 2015 with, Petroleum Geo-Services (PGS) CEO Jon Erik Reinhardsen Should Resign II, that actually presented documented evidence that PGS was uttering forged documents as my personal data. (These articles now are published on marineseismicsurvey.com.) Again, PGS didn’t invoke the Confidentiality clauses of disparaging content which I was trying to provoke. In October 2015, I moved from the USA to Thailand.
I continued to publish protected disclosure on the LinkedIn™ Pulse platform. On 20 April 2016, I submitted another SAR (the “2016 SAR”) to the PGS Compliance Hotline composed of PGS General Counsel, Rune Olav Pedersen; PGS Senior Vice President Global Human Resources, Terje Bjølseth; and Vice President Compliance and Internal Audit, Silke Hitschkes. My intentions for notifying the PGS Compliance Hotline were to formally present my concerns regarding the integrity of the data PGS was processing in my name so that it would be processed, but also to provoke a response to my publications on the LinkedIn™ Pulse platform. I especially wanted PGS compliance comment confirm the contents published within the 20 September 2015 article where evidence to support my allegations was presented. PGS issued the following statement on 20 May 2016:
———————–
Mr. Kalavity
PGS has followed up your complaint through the Compliance Hotline in accordance with our procedures. No deviations from PGS’ procedures or guidelines were uncovered and none of the documents placed in your employee folder was found to contain false or misleading information about you. No evidence found indicate that you were defrauded. The case dealing with your complaint is hereby closed.
———————–
PGS provided no evidence nor an investigation report to back-up this ridiculous statement. PGS also did not reference nor comment on any of the content posted on the LinkedIn™ Pulse platform, the Extortion Letter, nor referenced the Dispute E-mail. On 24 May 2016, I published a response to the PGS Hotline in the form of a blog post,The Petroleum Geo-Services (PGS) Ambush Meeting and the Definition of Fraud. The title accuses PGS of criminal behavior. PGS refused to address simple concerns and questions. I continued to post articles on the LinkedIn™ Pulse platform, post queries in the PGS’ LinkedIn™comment space, as well as send e-mails to PGS Compliance Team members. In August 2016, I was restricted from LinkedIn™. PGS had complained that I defamed them. PGS irresponsible misrepresentation of protected disclosure with defamation. PGS never invoked the contractual non-disparagement clauses of the Settlement Agreement. I always considered my published content as protected public disclosure and rejected PGS’ claim that the publications were “defamation.” Further, many of the publications are identified as “whistleblowing.” Regardless, in-house counsel for a company should understand what is legally considered protected public disclosure. The Settlement Agreement is governed by the laws of England, hence PIDA is referenced.
Copies of the e-mails sent to PGS Compliance Hotline from April – September 2016 were intentionally provided to PGS with the 2018 SAR. The Fraudulent Letterintentionally omits reference to 2016 SAR. Retaliating against whistleblowing, most notably through acts contributing to the obstruction or perversion of justice, is what PGS has done consistently since forming the Settlement Agreement. There was something even more sinister and egregious withheld from the PGS’ 2018 SAR response. On 13 September 2018, PGS delivered a court summons for a criminal defamation claim while I was traveling outside Thailand to/in the USA. The summons was in the Thai language. The summons was to address a criminal defamation complaint. PGS had never once commented on any content that I had published prior Thai law firm, Duensing – Kippen delivering the summons on behalf of PGS. Duensing – Kippen delivered the firm copies of the summons and claims to the address of my wife and family where I stayed. I never had provided either my e-mail address or physical address to Duensing – Kippen. I had to rush back to Thailand and see what was distressing my family. PGS violated GDPR and transferred my personal data outside the EEA to Thailand law firm Duensing – Kippen without my consent. This included a copy of my USA passport, which is also a crime under USA Federal law.
My personal data had been provided to PGS for the explicit purpose of identification to process the 2018 SAR. The claim was prepared by PGS 10 July 2018. The 2018 SAR response is dated 16 July 2018. PGS had acknowledged receipt of the 2018 SAR on 18 June 2018. PGS had already processed my personal data, likely illegally, and did not disclose this within their 2018 SAR response. Further, PGS illegally stalked my travels using the illegally obtained personal data. PGS illegally provided my USA passport data to Duensing – Kippen, who also illegally copied my USA passport without my consent to advance a fraud. The summons was received by me in the USA, which again is USA Federal Wire Fraud. I am also convinced this entire organized crime enterprise facilitated by PGS violates the USA Racketeering Influence and Corrupt Organization Act (RICO), and will advance this to the extent which I am capable. PGS has perverted the course of justice through denying me due process facilitated through the bribery of corrupt lawyers. When I returned to Thailand, I had to confront these allegations with very little time to consider and prepare. Nevertheless, I e-mailed several e-mails to PGS asking so many questions. Many of these e-mails were written from the USA, as well.
I want PGS to stop their perverting the course of justice and finally address the issues and questions which have been asked since the fraud initiated whilst in Weybridge, England June 2013. I am demanding that PGS provide me with the purported Thailand arrest warrants that they sponsored through Duensing – Kippen. I also want all of the original data supporting the claims processed in England prior to their translation into the Thai language. There is no way that PGS could process a legal claim of defamation without authenticating the data and processes that created the contents of my professional personnel file. Also, any legal claim would need to be composed of the full-body of publications that were published when the claim was formed, including articles that had been delivered to PGS Compliance from April – September 2016. Finally, most of my publications were published on nopgs.com. This site was taken down in December 2018 and evidence destroyed while Kingdom of Thailand and USA Federal litigation was pending, per the signed 11 November 2018 Duensing – Kippen agreement. PGS and Duensing – Kippen need to explain what happened to nopgs.com?
PGS ASA Refuse to even Acknowledge a General Data Protection Requirement (GDPR) Subject Access Request (SAR). Personal Data Integrity is a Human Right that PGS ASA and Equinor Violate Daily.
Silence is Consent
Norway’s Whistleblower Protection Laws are Worthless if the Country Remains a Major Exporter of Corruption Misusing Oil Revenue to Bribe and Protect the Entitled Corporate Executive Class while Depriving the Working Class Globally and Creating an Impoverished Underclass. Corrupt Corporate Boards of Directors and Executives are allowed to not Invoke Contractual Confidentiality non-Disparagement Clauses that Protect Brand Reputation and Enhance Value. Their Silence is a Breach of Fiduciary Duty and Arrogance of the Self-Entitled who are allowed to Reside Above the law, Free from Justice and Exempted from Due Process. It’s a Travesty and Norwegians and all People Should Revolt against these Charlatan’s and Boycott Equinor, Telenor, and PGS ASA! Anything Connected to Criminal Cunt, Jon Erik Reinhardsen is Corrupt at its Core. Investigate Jon Erik Reinhardsen. Explain the 13 October 2013 Memo, Jon Erik Reinhardsen, you Gutless and Corrupt Mother-F**ker. Too Scared to Invoke the Confidentiality non-Disparagement Terms and Conditions of PGS ASAs Fraudulent Contracts! In a Fair Fight, Child Abusing and Elderly Terrorizing Cowards like Jon Erik Reinhardsen would be Sucking their Testicles through a Straw!
I would be ashamed to be an employee or investor of PGS ASA. In Nazi Germany, citizens feared the sadistic regime. The laws supported the unconscionable brutality toward the helpless. This is not the case with Norway or PGS ASA. There are laws and core values attached to citizenship and employment that admonish workplace bullying and harassment. What is the excuse for employees aiding and abetting Hitlerian sociopaths and criminals? How can so many be so weak? Real power is on the side of doing the right thing and helping the righteous. SDK has been astounded by what moral cowards his former co-workers and hosts were are. What depth of evil would defend these pieces of shit who knowingly withheld a medical report, bullied and harassed a foreign worker with no ties to the community? PGS ASA Board of Directors are criminals and cowards who couldn’t even fathom the hardship they cause much less live it. They all probably thought that they were so clever and entitled only to learn what complete dumb fucks they really were from a USA citizen not willing to be their punching bag. Common sense tells every cognoscente person can see that PGS ASA harbors criminals. Why would a person of honor and healthy self-esteem allow themselves to be disparaged and not to invoke the contractual Confidentiality non-disparagement clauses explicitly in place to stop such publications? Ethical leadership would never allow their employees to be disparaged if the possessed a legal instrument to stop it. There is a one-year limit on filing for defamation from the date content is first published. SDK first posted 3 July 2015.

They are all part of the evil! PGS ASA Board of Directors and management throw the law and core values out the window! PGS ASA bribed my solicitor, for God’s sake! PGS ASA broke the law! These people are such incredible cowards and criminals. And they re defended? Because of the internet, their cowardice, inhumanity, lack of true integrity and true professionalism will follow them. It is SDKs hope that some should go to prison. Followers who say nothing have made the decision to abandon ethical conduct and hurt people. They have chosen evil. But, SDK assures you, evil will lose!
Since 2016, it seemed clear that PGS ASA bribed lawyers to utter the forged documents to support a fraudulent settlement contract. SDK publications wanted to be so over the top that PGS ASA would have to invoke the terms and conditions of the contractual non-disparagement clauses. PGS ASA knows that they would have a lot of explaining to do in the English court of law and they avoid it. Once SDK started publishing images like the one below suggesting that there was a criminal conspiracy and lawyers were bribed to utter forged documents and illegally terminated a whistleblower for PGS ASA, a person claiming to be “Carl Richards”, PGS Exploration (UK) Limited Secretary, finally became alarmed and wrote an e-mail to [email protected]. This was the e-mail provided for communicating about content on the NoPGS.com website where content was mostly published.
PGS ASA has transferred SDK Personal Data Outside EEA and Sponsored Litigation using SDK Processed / Translated Personal Data in Thailand without Consent
PGS ASA CEO & President, Rune Olav Pedersen, PGS ASA CFO & EVP, Gottfred Langseth, and PGS ASA Chief Accountant, Christin Steen-Nilsen serve as Directors for PGS ASA UK Subsidiary, PGS Exploration (UK) Limited, 4 The Heights, Brooklands, Weybridge, Surrey, England KT13 0NY. The Directors sponsored litigation in Thailand against a former contracted foreign worker whistleblower.
SDK is a USA citizen and no longer lives in Thailand. PGS ASA has been aware that I reside outside Thailand and returned to the USA since July 2019, as confirmed in e-mail records from PGS UK Head of Legal, John Francas. Further, the referenced 11 November 2018 agreement has been disputed. However, the 11 November 2018 agreement does not declare a physical address for delivering legal notices. The document states an e-mail address. International personal data transfer is also regulated. SDK is not at liberty to stay in Thailand at the discretion of PGS Exploration (UK) Limited arbitrary and capricious”legal” decision making. Apparently, abiding by English law is too restrictive for PGS Exploration (UK) Limited.
Nonetheless, PGS ASA have continued to deliver firm copy “legal documents” through a hired Thai law firm, Duensing – Kippen. PGS ASA has delivered these threatening (extortion / blackmail) “legal notices” to SDK relatives. PGS ASA is intentionally terrorizing old people and children! PGS ASA has never responsibly sent their complaints to SDK directly by e-mail in English. Common sense dictates this would be the most effective approach if PGS ASA was truly concerned about SDK online legally protected public disclosures. The laws of England govern the terms and conditions of the 05 December 2013 termination settlement contract, which is referenced within PGS ASA 16 July 2018 SAR response to the data subject, SDK. This is the agreement SDK choses to abide by for the 15 April 2020 submitted SAR. The 5 December 2013 is also regarded as a fraudulent piece of shit, but according to PGS ASA 16 July 2018SAR response, this contract remains valid.
————————————————–
Records show that PGS ASA / PGS Exploration (UK) Limited was processing / transferring SDK personal data to Thailand (outside the EEA) while processing an SDK 18 Jun 2018 submitted subject access request (SAR). PGS ASA / PGS Exploration (UK) Limited never disclosed nor received consent for this personal data transfer outside the EEA. Further, this sensitive personal data transfer included a photocopy of SDKs USA passport details that was explicitly provided to PGS ASA only to confirm the identity of the data subject for the SAR processing. PGS ASA knowingly withheld information about transferring subject data (SDK) outside the EEA when they had the legal responsibility to disclose (fraud). However, PGS ASA also broke USA Federal law. Photocopying a USA passport without consent is illegal under USA Federal law.
PGS ASA also provided knowing misrepresentations with respect to SDKs data request that explicitly highlighted the processing of SDK e-mails sent to the PGS ASA Compliance Hotline that were never responded to. These e-mails to PGS ASA Compliance provided whistleblowing. SDK asked why these e-mails were never responded to? Copies of these communications were provided to PGS ASA Data Protection Officer (Daphne Bjerke). The response to the 18 June 2018 SDK SAR did not acknowledge the 2016 SAR, but highlighted the 2014 SAR response. Most publications referenced in the Criminal Defamation claim(s) filed in Thailand are in regard SDK disputing the integrity of the contents received from PGS ASA from the 2014 SAR. SDK has contended / published claims with evidence that PGS ASA is uttering forged defamatory unverified / unsigned documents as SDK personal data.
PGS ASA continues to defraud and defame the data subject, SDK. The reason that SDK has submitted a subject access request to PGS ASA in June 2018 is because PGS Exploration (UK) Limited Secretary Carl Richards had resigned 25 May 2018. Also, the General Data Protection Requirement (GDPR) had just replaced the UK Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA). Before resigning, Secretary Carl Richards had written threats about filing a criminal defamation suit against SDK as a private person. This would mean that Carl Richards was processing SDK personal data, or at least acknowledging SDK online published protected disclosures – whistleblowing. John Francas replaced Carl Richards and Daphne Bjerke was appointed PGS ASA Data Protection Agency. Daphne Bjerke and John Francas engaged in fraud to protect corrupt PGS ASA Board of Directors and Executives. From the 2014 SAR, SDK discovered that PGS ASA was uttering forged defamatory documents to support an illegally proffered settlement contract. PGS ASA refuses to comment on the unsigned and unverified forgeries which bribed lawyers processed to illegally terminate a foreign worker whistleblower.

Daphne Bjerke and John Francas engaged in fraud to protect corrupt PGS ASA Board of Directors and Executives. From the 2014 SAR, SDK discovered that PGS ASA was uttering forged defamatory documents to support an illegally proffered settlement contract. PGS ASA refuses to comment on the unsigned and unverified forgeries which bribed lawyers processed to illegally terminate a foreign worker whistleblower.
SDK submitted a subject access request (SAR) 11 June 2018. PGS Exploration (UK) Limited Secretary, Carl Richards had began blackmailing SDK. Carl Richards was explicit that he was operating independent of his duties as an agent of PGS ASA (Misrepresentation – Fraud). Carl Richards resigned from PGS ASA 25 May 2018. John Francas became the In-house solicitor. SDK requested any personal data that had been processed since his SDK 2014 SAR where he discovered that PGS ASA was uttering forged documents that were used to support a fraudulent termination settlement contract. PGS ASA illegally terminated a foreign worker whistleblower through using forged documents. I sent several complaints to the PGS ASA Compliance in 2016. These complaints were ignored. In 2018, SDK submitted another SAR when the new General Data Protection Requirement came into effect. PGS ASA lied and said that no SDK data was being processed, when it shows that PGS ASA had prepared their illegal blackmail legal claim on 10 July 2018. PGS ASA illegally transferred personal data outside the EEA without consent. PGS ASA also broke USA Federal law by copying and transferring a USA Passport without consent. SDK had provided personal identification data to PGS ASA to process the SAR.
Why doesn’t Kristin Omreng Invoke the Contractual Confidentiality Clauses that Prohibit Disparaging Publications and Protect her Reputation?Isn’t it Irresponsible for Kristin Omreng not to?
FIRE THE PGS ASA and EQUINOR CORRUPT BOARD OF DIRECTORS WHOSE OBJECTIVE IS TO SUPPRESS THE TRUTH.
Subject Access Request (SAR) following PGS ASA hired Thailand law firm Duensing – Kippen filed a criminal defamation claim against SDK delivered to Thai relative home while he was in the USA. The claim references Harris County, Texas, USA as dispute settlement venue. SDK is requesting English language version of claims. PGS ASA also stated an arrest warrant was issued that would prohibit my safe travel into Thailand. I want copies of these legal documents.
Norway’s Equinor and PGS ASA have participated in International Corruption and Human Rights Abuses While Promoting Accused (Known) Criminals to Lead! Hopefully, the USA Federal Racketeering Influence and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) will put these Criminals in Prison where they belong.
PGS ASA and Equinor Board of Directors and Executives Cover-up Corruptionby NOT Invoking the Contractual Confidentiality Terms and Conditions non-disparagement clauses. This Damages PGS ASA and Equinor Value and Reputation, Conceals Corruption, and Injures the Whistleblower, SDK.
DIRECTOR’S SILENCE IS IRRESPONSIBLE and ALLOWS CORRUPTION TO THRIVE. IT PERVERTS the COURSE OF JUSTICE, WHICH is CRIMINAL!
The Crimes of Petroleum Geo-Services (PGS) CEO Jon Erik Reinhardsen (4 November 2016)PGS ASA transferred SDK personal data outside the EEA to Thailand and USA. I have contended that PGS ASA has been processing forged defamatory SDK personal data since 5 Dec 2014. PGS ASA has misrepresented the integrity of this data since that time. None of the relevant data used to process my termination settlement contract, signed 5 Dec 2013, bares my signature and is unverifiable. There is no way the Kristin Omreng or PGS ASA can claim this data is fair and accurate. PGS ASA needs to explain the 25 October 2013 Memo signed by former PGS ASA SVP Global Human Resources and PGS ASA EVP Per Arild Reksnes who processed this document to affect SDKs (illegal) termination. PGS ASA also must address the 20 Sep 2013 grievance document which is referenced within the 5 Dec 2013 termination settlement contract. Were SDKs legally guaranteed grievance procedures followed?
PGS ASA / EQUINOR WANT TO DE-PUBLISH INFORMATION – NOT CLARIFY IT
PGS ASA is processing unverifiable forged documents within SDKs (crime victim and whistleblower) professional personnel file. SDK has not signed any supporting documents for the 05 Dec 2013 termination settlement contract. The documents reference events which never took place and documents that do not exist. They were illegally created to terminate a foreign worker whistleblower under false pretenses and protect executives who had broken the law. And still, several low integrity PGS ASA employee’s protect and participate in criminal behavior to harm an innocent whistleblower and allow the criminals to remain unaccountable. Disgusting and unprofessional behavior.
NORWAY’SPGS ASA, EQUINOR, and TELENOR DO NOT FOLLOW THE NORWEGIAN CODE OF PRACTICE FOR CORPORATE GOVERNANCE or the LAW. THEY ARE CORRUPT. IRRESPONSIBLE LEADERSHIP REFUSES TO ANSWER THE MOST SIMPLE COMPLIANCE and GOVERNANCE QUESTIONS AND ALLOW PGS ASA, EQUINOR and TELENOR BRANDS TO BE DIMINISHED.
PGS ASA Data Protection Officer Daphne Bjerke continues to ignore fundamental compliance and legal obligations and process knowing false and inaccurate SDK personal data. This a human rights violation in addition to a continued violence against a USA citizen and his family. None of the documents being processed by co-conspirator and criminal Daphne Bjerke is verifiable and true and authentic. Yet, Bjerke and many other PGS ASA, Watson Farley & Williams, Duensing – Kippen and Landau Law employees are being bribed to breach the PGS Code of Conduct, PGS Core Values and laws to protect corrupt executives.
PGS ASA hired legal firm Watson Farley & Williams to advise on the termination settlement contract agreement between PGS ASA and SDK. PGS ASA, Watson Farley & Williams and Philip Landau (Landau Law) all uttered forged documents (a crime) to support a fraudulent termination settlement contract on false pretenses. PGS ASA, Watson Farley & Williams and Philip Landau also withheld material information: a occupational health nurse medical that confirmed PGS ASA workplace mobbing was health harming. This report was intentionally withheld during negotiationsto allow perpetrators to escape accountability. This further placed SDK and his family in danger. These criminal acts were premeditated and evil and intended to harm the health as well as the professional and financial well-being of a law abiding USA citizen and whistleblower. PGS ASA, Watson Farley & Williams and Philip Landau have defrauded the oil and gas industry investors and employees and placed the health and safety of workers at risks through protecting violent corruption.
PGS ASA, Watson Farley & Willaims and Philip Landau w/ LZW/Landau Law are lying and gaslighting. They are following the false narrative of the forged defamatory documents being processed within the PGS ASA SDK personnel file. Landau has been provided with correct information and knows the 25 Oct 2013 Memo is an inaccurate defamatory forgery. All lawyers have lied about what documents were processed to support the signed 5 Dec 2013 PGS ASA UK and SDK termination settlement agreement. Watson Farley & Williams also lied to UK Border Agency and UK Information Commissioner’s Office stating that the Tier 2 status was not considered. Underlying performance issues would likely mean that a Tier 2 visa would not be granted and no settlement would need to include international relocation expenses. Also, everyone was aware that a grievance was the principal issue. Why aren’t all of these employment lawyers and HR people following UK law and PGS grievance procedures? PGS ASA hired legal firm Watson Farley & Williams to advise on the termination settlement contract agreement between PGS ASA and SDK. PGS ASA, Watson Farley & Williams and Philip Landau (Landau Law) all uttered forged documents (a crime) to support a fraudulent termination settlement contract on false pretenses. The 5 Dec 2013 termination settlement contract references a 20 Sep 2013 submitted workplace grievance. However, the forged 25 Oct 2013 Conclusion to Grievance Meeting Memo does not even reference the grievance? PGS ASA, Watson Farley & Williams and Philip Landau also withheld a material medical report during negotiations placing SDK and his family in danger. These criminal acts were premeditated and evil and intended to harm to health, professional, and financial well-being of a law abiding USA citizen and whistleblower. PGS ASA, Watson Farley & Williams and Philip Landau have defrauded the oil and gas industry and employees.Watson Farley & Williams serve as legal advisers to PGS ASA. Watson Farley & Williams advised and helped SDK and family process the Tier 2 visa and dependent family visas so that we could legally work and live in the England in both 2010 and when they were renewed 15 Jul 2013 for three years. Tier 2 visas are issued for employers who cannot fill positions through the local labor market. Tier 2 visas are not legally issues to poor performing foreign workers. With this SDK personal data, WFW also represented PGS AA in the termination settlement discussions which were predicated around my claim that PGS ASA Investigation into possible Performance Improvement Plan was illegal and defamatory. WFW and Landau were bribed by PGS ASA to ignore the whistleblowing and be a co-conspirator in fraud and human rights abuses. This is why PGS ASA, WFW and Landau Law do not invoke the Confidentiality clauses prohibiting disparaging publications governed by the laws of England.The main theme of the SDK was submitted grievance is that PGS ASA was misusing their performance management system and defaming SDK through sharing unprivileged and non-compliant information as part of their illegal harassment campaign. For (Criminal Cunt) Philip Landau to allow (Criminal Pussy) Rhodri Thomas to state their were “underlying performance issues” when their was no documents to support a claim means that Landau Law and WFW were also defaming and defrauding SDK. Neither have any evidence to support this claim. Of course, all criminals involved in this conspiracy to illegally terminate a foreign worker whistleblower, defraud the UK Information Commissioner’s Office in violation of Contractual terms and conditions which cited the UK Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA) , and also defraud the UK Border Agency know this. They all knew that they were participating in illegal behavior. This is why no one accused of crimes within my blog post articles invoke the non-disparagement clauses in the employment contracts. They do not want to explain what they did. Fortunately, UK ActionFraud (police) are dysfunctional in matters of fraud and white collar crime. SDK has submitted several complaints to both ICO and the UK police since 2014 when SDK discovered the fraud.Experienced PGS ASA Human Resources personnel and Watson Farley & Williams and Landau, Zeffert & Weir employment law solicitors processed documents with no employee (SDK) signature. This is not an oversight, but an intentional uttering of forged documents to defame and defraud a foreign worker whistleblower. PGS ASA obviously paid several of their own personnel as well as WFW and Landau Law lawyers to commit these crimes to physically, financially and professionally injure a foreign worker whistleblower and his family. Only morally bankrupt low integrity opportunistic nonprofessionals would protect criminals like this. PGS ASA and WFW seem to have an ample supply of corrupt pieces of professional shit working for them. Duensing – Kippen notified SDK by e-mail that warrant for his arrest had been issued in Thailand for criminal defamation. This warrant was confirmed by PGS ASA UK lawyer, John Francas. SDK had never received any of the claims. PGS ASA has never cited a breach in contractual Confidentiality terms and conditions which define the legal relationship between SDK and PGS ASA. The Confidentiality terms prohibit parties from disparaging each other. PGS ASA filing a criminal defamation claim in Thailand is a breach of these agreement.Kristin Omreng has taken over the position once held by criminal Terje Bjolseth, PGS ASA SVP Global Human Resources. Bjolseth was a recipient of the 20 Sep 2013 submitted workplace grievance by SDK. Bjolseth did not manage the grievance process legally. Bjolseth violent criminal behavior placed the health and safety of foreign worker (USA) SDK and his family in jeopardy.
Fiduciary Negligence: As PGS ASA UK Secretary and lawyer credentialed to practice in England, Carl Richards never cited a breach in the SDK – PGS ASA Confidentiality terms and conditions non-disparagement clauses within contracts governed by the laws of England protecting whistleblowing. Instead, Richards threatened his illegal litigation in Thailand. This cowardly criminal piece of shit has never written to SDK again following his blackmail in Thailand, assisted by Rune Olav Pedersen, Christin Steen-Nilsen and Gottfred Langseth who never had even written one-single comment to SDK. PGS ASA put the reputation of the company in the hands of Olaf Duensing and Tippaya Moonmanee. Is either one licensed to practice law in England or the USA?
Fiduciary Negligence: As PGS ASA EVP, Per Arild Reknes never cited a breach in the SDK – PGS ASA Confidentiality terms and conditions non-disparagement clauses within contracts governed by the laws of England protecting whistleblowing. Reksnes has never defended his reputation and finally retired in disgrace without comment. Reknes never disputed that he is a criminal piece of shit.
Fiduciary Negligence: As SDK hired solicitor, Philip Landau, Landau Law, never commented nor complained about my publications nor cited a breach in the SDK – PGS ASA Confidentiality terms and conditions non-disparagement clauses within contracts governed by the laws of England protecting whistleblowing.
Fiduciary Negligence: As PGS ASA General Counsel, Rune Olav Pedersen never cited a breach in the SDK – PGS ASA Confidentiality terms and conditions non-disparagement clauses within contracts governed by the laws of England protecting whistleblowing.
Fiduciary Negligence: As PGS ASA CEO & President or PGS UK Director, Reinhardsen never cited a breach in the SDK – PGS ASA Confidentiality terms and conditions non-disparagement clauses within contracts governed by the laws of England protecting whistleblowing.
Fiduciary Negligence: As Equinor / StatOil Chairman of the Board of Directors, Reinhardsen has never cited a breach in the SDK – PGS ASA Confidentiality terms and conditions non-disparagement clauses within contracts governed by the laws of England protecting whistleblowing. Reinhardsen has never defended the reputation of StatOil / Equinor nor PGS ASA. Reinhardsen just collects money for watching ships he “captains” sink in value.
vThe disparaging image (above) depicting accused criminal PGS ASA SVP Global HR, Terje Bjolseth has never been cited in any legal complaint from PGS ASA. It was never cited within PGS ASA hired Thailand legal firm Duensing – Kippen. SDK has been publishing disparaging content specifically highlighting PGS ASA executives since 3 July 2015. Why did PGS ASA wait until September 2018 to file a Criminal Defamation Claim in THAILAND ? The contracts signed between SDK and PGS ASA and governed by the laws of England contain non-disparagement clauses with whistleblower protection. PGS ASA has never investigated SDK whistleblowing claims and multiple emails to PGS Compliance were ignored prior to September 2018. Many employee’s of PGS ASA, Watson Farley and Williams, and Landau Law are implicated in the criminal conspiracy that SDK publications expose. Kristin Omreng is either stupid or understands she is a co-conspirator of multiple international crimes. SDK has always wanted the truth and mostly requested a fair third-party (police) investigation.When Human Resources is Corrupt (10-August-2015)Petroleum Geo-Services #PGS #CEO #Pedersen and the Management of Gang Rape (24 October 2017)
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?

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.

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?)
PGS ASA and Duensing – Kippen want SDK to Fly Thousands of Kilometres from USA to Thailand to Testify in Thai about Legally Protected Public Disclosures Published in English Regarding a Company Governed by the Laws of England? But, Lawyers from PGS ASA, Duensing – Kippen, Watson Farley & Williams and Landau Law won’t even answer e-mails or Open Letters! A contract formed by Duensing – Kippen on behalf of PGS ASA, 11 November 2018, in Thailand states USA Federal Court, Harris County, Texas, USA as a resolution venue. Legal claims are filed in the Thai language and delivered to the address of a previous visa sponsor address in Thailand and not SDKs legal address. SDK believes that the 11 November 2018 signed agreements with PGS ASA and Carl Richards are fraudulent.

PGS ASA and Duensing – Kippen want SDK to Fly Thousands of Kilometres from USA to Thailand to Testify in Thai about Legally Protected Public Disclosures Published in English Regarding a Company Governed by the Laws of England? But, Lawyers from PGS ASA, Duensing – Kippen, Watson Farley & Williams and Landau Law won’t even answer e-mails or Open Letters! A contract formed by Duensing – Kippen on behalf of PGS ASA, 11 November 2018, in Thailand states USA Federal Court, Harris County, Texas, USA as a resolution venue. Legal claims are filed in the Thai language and delivered to the address of a previous visa sponsor address in Thailand and not SDKs legal address. SDK believes that the 11 November 2018 signed agreements with PGS ASA and Carl Richards are fraudulent.
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?
