High Demand for Oil and Gas Likely to Continue to 2050 – Strong Growth of Renewables

- Fossil fuels will be an important part of future energy mix**
- ~80% of the energy mix today
- ~75% of energy mix in 2030
- Slightly above 60% of energy mix in 2050
- Oil and natural gas demand slightly higher in 2050 than today
- Securing sufficient supply will require significant investments in oil & gas exploration and production
- Strong growth for renewable energy sources
- ~40% of energy mix in 2050 are non-fossil fuels
- Creating new business opportunities
E&P spending: Kickstart in 2022 Continues in 2023


- Global E&P spending increased in excess of 20% in 2022
- Double digit spending growth expected in 2023 – Likely to continue in '24 and '25
- Offshore spending expected to increase 24% in 2023*
- Following a 12% spending growth in 2022

Energy Majors' Cash Flow Break-even Around USD 50/boe (including dividend, excluding buy backs)

- Energy companies generate record cash flows
- Break-even level around USD 50/boe
- Client feedback indicates resilient seismic spending with an oil price in excess of approximately USD 60/boe

Seismic Activity Level Will Increase – Customer Feedback Autumn 2022

- Client 1: Continued high activity level. Will reactivate "real" exploration with a global remit scanning for opportunities
- Client 2: Increasing international activity level with Namibia recently added to the portfolio
- Client 3: The exploration budget will be kept high over the next years, and we see increased activity level in 2023
- Client 4: Exploration budget will increase in 2023
- Client 5: Will continue with similar activity level as recent years, still pursuing frontier exploration in certain countries
Clients confirm seismic spending increase in 2023

Historically Low Supply in a Consolidated Vessel Market

Bid round and/or acreage offerings

2023 E&P Activity Drivers – High Impact Wells
Exploration drilling to continue at 2022 levels, success rates are increasing in frontier plays

2023 E&P Activity Drivers - License Awards Recent license awards to IOCs, large Independents & NOCs



Seismic Volumes Forecast to Grow Significantly in 2023


25
- Volumes of planned seismic are forecast to increase by as much as 40% YoY from the low base of activity in 2022
- The increase in activity is broad based but underpinned by returning appetite for frontier exploration, evidenced by energy companies' accumulation of new acreage and an increase in new MultiClient programs
- Demand growth in a supply constrained market provides opportunity for margin expansion and increased utilization
- The number of 4D programs reduced during the pandemic and remained largely static in 2022 due to project delays, despite the high level of bids and leads observed late-2021/early 2022

ILX and Integrated Projects Form a Substantial Part of Total Industry Activity Mix

- There has been a strong focus on optimum exploitation of existing assets along with nearfield exploration to leverage infrastructure
- ILX has become a substantial component of PGS' project mix. In such mature basins high resolution multi-sensor data is of great value. PGS remains the only contractor with a fleetwide homogenous multi-sensor offering
- ILX, 4D and Reservoir seismic volumes are expected to be augmented in future by the growth in CCUS projects
- Integrated projects have become a significant segment to PGS. These are uniquely created through leverage of our full suite of technical capabilities along with MultiClient expertise

Overall Number of Contract Customers has Remained Stable Over Recent Years

- The number of individual Contract customers industry-wide has remained relatively stable over the last several years, despite the level of M&A in the same period
- IOC's and NOC's have been the bedrock of activity throughout this period. We see the latter group increasing their exploration efforts, with certain of them expanding internationally
- Independents and Regional players continue to be present, though with cyclical activity
- The customer base may further grow in future with the appearance of CCUS specialist companies who are not part of the traditional core customer base today

Bids and Leads – Active Tenders and Weighted Leads

- The order book increased by close to 75% YoY across both the Contract and MultiClient segments resulting in improved utilization
- YoY rates improved by ~35% vs. 2021 average
- Sales leads are back above pre-COVID levels, with active tenders just about back at that level
- The active tender's curve is somewhat lumpy due to single large tenders coming and going – typically large Brazilian 4D projects
- These curves reflect only publicly tendered seismic and do not show the current growth in MultiClient projects, and certain of the Integrated projects that PGS performs directly

PGS MultiClient OnDemand™ Business Models
- PGS has developed a strategic cloud-based solution architecture that can serve MultiClient subsurface data to our customers
- This capability, enabling enterprise access, is market-leading and will drive workflow efficiencies, enabling teams to spend more time focusing on data analysis
- Our customers want data at scale and fast in order to make the right commercial decisions and reduce risk in the fast-changing energy landscape

PGS Imaging in the Cloud 'Eos'


- PGS signed a preferred cloud vendor agreement with CGP with the ambition of moving 20% of compute to the cloud as 'lift and shift'
- The economic downturn and early successes transform the ambition to move 80% compute into GCP
- PGS decommissions its last Cray supercomputer achieving the transition to GCP as the primary source of compute

Why the cloud? The power of the cloud
- Significant increase in capacity without upfront capex e.g. for one week in August we operated the 7th largest supercomputer on Earth
- Access to a large range of modern compute hardware on-demand
- Modernisation of our HPC software stack
- Uses low-carbon energy throughout our chosen GCP region (97% carbon free)

Summary
- The recent return to emerging basin exploration helps drive positive momentum in the offshore E&P segment
- Strong utilization and pricing improvements in the Contract segment in 2022
- Bookings significantly up YoY and pricing expected to continue to rise in 2023
- PGS continues to be uniquely positioned as the only fully Integrated player with market leading acquisition, imaging and digitalization technology providing significant competitive advantage

People

▪ Since 2019 the industry has lost in excess of 500 experienced seismic crew
- A lot of these will not return
- Building crews from the next generation is key
- PGS' crew model with a balance towards full time crew is advantageous
- Over 80% of our seismic crew is employed full time by PGS
Obtaining skilled crew may be the key challenge to scale up


Relative Seniority of PGS Seismic Crew

Equipment

- Supply chains heavily impacted by COVID & Ukraine
- Lead times are up significantly
- One of the keys here is streamers
- PGS has 2,400 sections being built
- PGS has refurbished over 2,000 sections in the last two years
- Lifetime extended by >5 years
- CAPEX run rate will be ~\$100 million annually
- This will include one vessel set of new GeoStreamer each year


PGS continues to build and repair streamers
