"Our Q1 2012 is characterized by record MultiClient pre-funding revenues, strong
late sales performance and an improving marine contract margin driven by good
vessel performance. The strong pre-funding revenues were primarily due to the
ongoing MultiClient project offshore Angola and pre-funding revenues from
additional participants to MultiClient surveys in Brazil and North Sea, which
were still in the processing stage. The pre-funding revenues were as high as
206% of capitalized MultiClient cash investment. Late sales revenues were
primarily driven by Europe and West Africa.
The outlook for both contract and MultiClient is positive and we have now booked
most of our Q2 and Q3 capacity. The price uplift achieved for the summer season,
is primarily related to our high capacity GeoStreamer vessels, proving the
importance of technology and vessel differentiation. Visibility for Q4 is
improving with approximately 40% of our capacity, primarily GeoStreamer, already
booked for the quarter at margins comparable with the summer season. PGS is well
positioned to take advantage of a continued polarization of the seismic market
with favourable price differentiation for the high-end, broadband segment."
