Marine Contract

Marine market leadership 28%* of revenues in 2015

*Remaining 2% relates to Other revenues.

Early Signs of an Improved Market Sentiment

  • Gradual oil price recovery
  • Increasing interest for MultiClient data library
  • Quarterly and regional near-term variability is expected
  • Contract market still characterized by low pricing
  • More predictable customer survey planning and contracting process
  • Indications of some pent-up client demand
  • High vessel utilization
  • Low industry vessel idle time in Q1- Q3 2016

Marine Seismic Market Volume and Supply

  • Industry expected to acquire 320- 340,000 sq.km of seismic in 2016
  • An increase compared to previous estimate
  • Volume of seismic acquired will be higher in 2016 compared to pre 2010
  • Streamer capacity is approximately 45% lower than at the 2013 peak

PGS response – Focus on sales, operations, cost and cash flow discipline

Market Activity

  • Seismic demand primarily driven by:
  • Positioning for strategically important license rounds
  • Seismic commitments in E&P licenses
  • Production seismic
  • Some opportunistic spending
  • Decent volume of leads in Africa for Q1
  • Soft in Asia Pacific, North and South America
  • Shorter time and higher conversion rate from lead to tender

Source: PGS internal estimate as of end August 2016. Value of active tenders and sales leads are the sum of active tenders and sales leads with a probability weight and represents Marine 3D contract seismic only.

PGS Fleet Strategy: Building the Youngest and Most Productive Fleet in the Industry

High-end Ramforms - Flexible Capacity

Ramform Vanguard - in operation Ramform Valiant - cold stacked Ramform Viking - cold stacked Ramform Challenger - cold stacked Ramform Explorer - cold stacked *With possibility to buy back after year 5 and 8

  • Combination of chartered high capacity conventional 3D vessels and temporarily coldstacked first generation Ramform vessels:
  • Improves fleet flexibility
  • Chartered capacity with staggered expiry structure
  • Gives a competitive edge in the current market
  • Positions PGS well to take advantage of a market recovery

Significantly reduced capex requirement going forward
