Chris Usher, ION’s President, and Chief Executive Officer stated,
Revenues increased sequentially in the second quarter, confirming their anticipation that momentum would rise throughout the year. The two primary pillars of their expansion plan are still being implemented. IO’s new 3D initiative in the North Sea is off to a good start, due to higher industry backing.
