Forward-Looking Statements Ø This presentation contains forward-looking statements. Ø Forward-looking statements are based on management assumptions and analyses. Ø Actual experience may differ and such differences may be material. Ø Backlog consists of written orders and estimates for our services which we believe to be firm. In many instances contracts are cancelable by customers so we may never realize some or all of our backlog, which may lead to lower than expected financial performance. Ø Forward-looking statements are subject to uncertainties and risks which are disclosed in Geokinetics’ Annual Report on Form 10 -K.

Our Operating Environment – Robust Industry Fundamentals Ø Seismic crew activity has grown steadily

Our Operating Environment – Robust Industry Fundamentals Ø Seismic crew activity has grown steadily in response to commodity prices, but lags increase in drilling rigs Ø International plays (NOCs) are primary driver for seismic growth Ø Seismic crew activity is still less than the lowest levels in the 1990 s when oil prices were near $20 per barrel Ø Pressure for continued growth in activity, even at lower commodity prices – Oil companies reloading prospect inventories – Resource plays are big drivers – Technical advances drive activity and create barriers to entry – Recent trend for more specialized crews and equipment Ø Fundamentals are strong, but we are continually monitoring for any trend toward overcapacity
