BP award RXT seismic survey contract

M/V Vikland (RXT4) has received a letter of intent from BP for a five-month survey in the U.K. This is RXT's third major contract for BP.

Sanco Star
Christening

   M/V Sanco Star is the first newbuilt
   vessel designed specifically for
   optimum OBC performance. Sanco
   Star (RXT5) will be part of a dual
   vessel operation offshore Brazil
   together with Ocean Europe.

Reservoir Exploration Technology ASA (RXT) is the only marine geophysical company specialising in multi- component seafloor seismic data acquisition.

Since June 2004 RXT has been operating one crew in the Gulf of Mexico, a dual vessel operation (RXT1)comprising a shooting vessel - the M/V Beulah Chouest - and a cable/buoy handler - the M/V Bourbon. These operations demonstrated the superior imaging capabilities of the VSO sensors and cables.

The second crew started it's operations in the North Sea in May 2006 with the OBC
vesselM/V Ocean Pearl (RXT2). This vessel has the unique capability in the seismic industry of being able to acquire multi-component ocean bottom cable (OBC) data without requiring any other vessels. This single vessel operation is achieved by using the radio-controlled recording buoys that are an essential feature of ION’s VectorSeis Ocean (VSO) system. This crew is currently operating in West Africa in a dual vessel operation.

RXT mobilised an operation in the Caspian Sea in June 2007. This third crew (RXT3)is based on a highly modular equipment concept, where the equipment handling and instrument room facilities can be moved between shallow water vessels and deep water supply vessels. Thus, the Caspian operation is capable of both shallow and deep water surveys.

RXT 4 and RXT 5 will mobilise in Q4 2008. Both crews will have single vessel operation capabilities, but will operate together with a dedicated cable handling or source vessel when the acquisition parameters are such that the crew can acquire data and handle cables simultaneously.

M/V Ocean Europe will be part of RXT5
