Unaudited Third Quarter 2017 Results

A Clearer Image | www.pgs.com

Streamer Operations October 2017

Marine Seismic Market Outlook

Improved cash flow among oil companies combined with limitations on streamer availability will benefit seismic market fundamentals longer-term
Continued risk related to timing of a market recovery
Increased seasonal variations as geographic areas of operations for winter activity have shrunk, while North Atlantic summer season activity is more resilient

Marine Contract Market Activity

Encouraging contract leads development
Seismic demand primarily driven by:
Positioning for strategically important license rounds
Seismic commitments in E&P licenses
Significant increase in production seismic, especially in North Sea, West Africa and Brazil

Marine Seismic Supply

Average streamer capacity in 2017 is approximately 40% lower than average streamer capacity in 2013
2017/2018 winter season capacity expected to be reduced by approximately 10% vs. 2017 summer season

Low industry maintenance capex cause global streamer pool to shrink

• Group gross cash cost below USD 700 million

– Of which ~USD 225 million to be capitalized as MultiClient cash investments

• MultiClient cash investments of ~USD 225 million

Pre-funding level above 100%
Active 3D vessel time planned for MultiClient of ~45%

• Capital expenditures of ~USD 150 million

– Including new build capex of ~USD 89 million

In Conclusion: Solid MultiClient Performance - Improving PGS Competitive Position

Solid MultiClient pre-funding revenues with a high prefunding level
Strong order intake in October improves visibility for winter season
Competitive contract bidding environment
Encouraging bid pipeline for 2018
In process of reorganizing, reducing capacity and improving flexibility for vessels and imaging to achieve:
2018 gross cash cost reduction of at least USD 100 million
Cash flow positive after debt servicing assuming 2018 market flat vs. 2017

Prestack Deghosting - More Options

Complementary recordings facilitate deghosting by wavefield separation at all water depths.

Deghosting using dual-sensor measurements with their complementary ghost spectra eliminates frequency gaps, and provides access to separate wavefield components for advanced processes like PGS SWIM, FWI and Reflection Tomography.

De-risking with Precise Rock Properties

GeoStreamer prestack deghosting provides reliable attributes for better understanding of rock and fluid distribution. Improved attribute computations reduce uncertainty and enable more precise estimation of reserves.

Monitoring Reservoir Changes

Wavefield reconstruction enables high repeatability for both legacy surveys and future 4D monitoring independent of sea-state. This reveals more subtle production-related changes.

PGSSWIM

Extending Illumination and Angular Diversity

GeoStreamer data and SWIM imaging

Separated Wavefield Imaging (SWIM) is an innovative depth-imaging technology that uses both up- and down-going wavefields, recorded by GeoStreamer® dual hydrophone and motion sensors.

source results in the survey area having increased source sampling and improved angular diversity and illumination.

SWIM + Survey Geometries

surveys in shallow water SWIM yields better sampled data in the angle domain. WIDE AZ IMUTH The extra subsurface

NARROW AZIMUTH TO WIDE TOW SWIM

enables the design and use of cost

effective acquisition geometries such

as super-wide tow. For narrow azimuth

illumination of sea-surface reflections combined with Wide Azimuth (WAZ) acquisition facilitates the imaging of salt flanks and other steeply dipping structures.

Reduce Acquisition Footprint

Turning the receiver spread into virtual sources vs and receiver arrays reduces source sampling in the crossline direction from the distance between sail lines to that between streamers. Using SWIM in shallow water fills in gaps in near-surface coverage successfully reducing the acquisition footprint (AF).

Further Uses

SWIM has been successfully applied to seabed data such as ocean bottom node and cable recordings. SWIM can increase the shallow image area of the seabed and the underlying sediments by up to 700%.

IMPROVED MULTIPLE REMOVAL

SWIM enables the generation $\sqrt{V}$ of detailed shallow overburden images that are a requirement for some data-driven 3D SRME multiple removal methods.

REDUCING DRILLING RISK Superior illumination of the overburden using SWIM provides highresolution images suitable for shallow hazard work, helping to identify drilling risks.
