About EMGS
EMGS uses its proprietary electromagnetic (EM) technology to support oil and gas
companies in their search for offshore hydrocarbons. The company is the EM
market leader, and provides Clearplay, the world's first fully integrated EM
system.

Three service offerings - Clearplay Find, Test and Evaluate - have been designed
to assist operators in the exploration and production phase. Clearplay supports
each stage in the workflow, from survey design and data acquisition to
processing and interpretation. The services enable integration of EM data with
seismic and other geophysical and geological information to give explorationists
a clearer and more complete understanding of the subsurface. This improves
exploration efficiency, and reduces risks and the finding costs per barrel.

EMGS operates the world's first purpose-built 3D EM vessel fleet and has
conducted more than 450 surveys to improve drilling success rates across the
world's mature and frontier offshore basins. The company operates on a worldwide
basis with main offices in Trondheim and Stavanger, Norway; Houston, USA; and
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Please visit www.emgs.com <http://www.emgs.com/> for
