The board of GETECH, the oil services business specializing in the compilation

oil and gas are likely to be found within sedimentary basins.
Paul has 20 years professional experience, beginning at BP in the mid 1980's and
was previously with Fugro-Robertson as a petroleum geologist, where he was
involved for seven years with several high-profile studies. Paul has
considerable global experience, specializing in the tectonic and geology of
Africa, South East Asia, Australia and Antarctica. He is also a leading expert
in the application of climate and ocean models to frontier exploration, and has
an international reputation in global palaeogeography.

Notes to Editors
GETECH evolved in the mid-1980's from a Research Group headed by Professor Derek
Fairhead within the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Leeds
(UK), where the Company is still located today. In 2000, GETECH was spun out
from the University as a separate company.
On September 23 2005, the Company listed on the AIM market of the London Stock
Exchange, raising just over £3 million via an institutional Placing. GETECH has
a subsidiary in Houston, Texas and an active presence in Singapore.
