Pre-SOSINA History
It would not have been possible to establish SOSINA Exploration Ltd. without the experience gained within Shell, Seismic-to-Simulation, Odegaard UK and its Danish affiliates Ødegaard A/S, as well as Ødegaard & Danneskiold-Samsøe A/S. The main milestones of these companies are as follows:
