EMGS customer purchases 3D EM multi-client library in Norway

Electromagnetic Geoservices ASA (EMGS) has today entered into a data-licensing
agreement worth approximately USD 8 million with an oil and gas company, in
which the customer will gain access to EMGS's entire 3D EM multi-client data
library on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS).

The agreement includes pre-funding of the ongoing Barents Sea multi-client
program and late-sales of previously acquired 3D EM data, excluding data
previously licensed by the customer and future EMGS multi-client projects. In
addition, the agreement contains an uplift model whereby EMGS will receive an
undisclosed sum if the customer is awarded blocks in future licensing rounds in
Norway.

"More and more customers are seeing the value of integrating 3D EM data over an
extensive area with seismic and other subsurface measurements. This portfolio
approach not only enhances geological basin understanding and reduces drilling
risk, it has also proven to generate new leads that would not have been
identified using traditional exploration tools alone," says Roar Bekker, EMGS
chief executive officer.

EMGS's data library in the Barents Sea will upon completion of this year's
program cover 22,000 km2, or 69 blocks.
