  20. Slide 20: 2D seismic industry leader, favorable supply side

    2D seismic industry leader, favorable supply side Observations 2D market dynamics improving # vessels • Industry fleet size significantly reduced since 2015 • Competitive pressure from 3D vessel owners has eased • Older 3D vessels used in the 2D space now mostly redelivered, cold stacked or retired

  21. Slide 21: Oil discoveries unsustainably low

    Oil discoveries unsustainably low • 2017 all time low year for discovered Organic reserve replacement ratio resources • Declining reserve replacement rates continue to take effect • 2D seismic first tool in the box to find new offshore oil reserves "I am worried about being able to meet the supplies

  22. Slide 22: US offshore areas potentially opening

    US offshore areas potentially opening • Nearly all US offshore areas to be opened for O&G exploration under a new 5 year lease plan • Still subject to public hearings and reviews, with an uncertain implementation timeline • Demand for 2D seismic likely to be significant if implemented in current for

  23. Slide 23: Source vessel demand expected to rise

    Source vessel demand expected to rise… OBS expected market growth • Ocean Bottom Seismic is experiencing strong structural growth driven by technological breakthroughs and cost reduction • Source vessel demand tied to the growth in OBS – Vessels send signals which the ocean bottom receivers pick up
