CEO of EMGS, Bjørn Petter Lindhom, comments:

“We are very pleased with having delivered a strong second quarter. We are beginning to see the benefits of our shift to a more flexible business and operational model. I am very grateful to our onshore and offshore personnel for continuing to deliver above and beyond.

We will continue to invest in financially attractive multi-client programs, while also realising the value of our existing multi-client library though additional late sales. I am therefore particularly pleased to note the USD 3.6 million in late sales announced after the close of the second quarter.”

About EMGS
 EMGS, the marine EM market leader, uses its proprietary electromagnetic (EM) technology to support oil and gas companies in their search for offshore hydrocarbons. EMGS supports each stage in the workflow, from survey design and data acquisition to processing and interpretation. The Company's services enable the 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. CSEM technology can also be used to detect the presence of marine mineral deposits (primarily Seabed Massive Sulphides) and EMGS believes that the technology can also be used to estimate the mineral content of such deposits. The Company is undertaking early-stage initiatives to position itself in this future market.
