North Sea MultiClient GeoStreamer acquisition in early July
· Full year 2013 guidance reiterated
"The strong Group EBIT margin of 25% in the quarter was driven by good
performance, our strong technology position and improved market conditions.
Average 2013 marine contract prices are expected to be 10-15% above 2012
prices.
The GeoStreamer is continuing to gain market strength and customer interest
as
we further explore new ways of exploiting this ground breaking technology.
The
recent news flow from Brazilian authorities regarding future licensing
rounds,
and revival of other key markets, indicate a further strengthening of the
global
marine seismic market and pricing in 2014."
