`More Efficiency
`There are several reasons why the PGS fleet is the most efficient in the industry. Our back deck streamer handling and towing systems have
`been developed over 20 years. Each Ramform vessel has 12 to 22 streamer towing capacity. The vast unobstructed back deck areas facilitate
`quicker and safer deployment and retrieval of both equipment and workboats. This helps increase our efficiency and minimizes the risks to our
`personnel.
`
`GeoStreamer GS involves deeper towing of both sources and streamers. This offers greater operational efficiency without compromising data
`quality. In fact, GeoStreamer GS records better low and high frequency signal information than any competing technology.
`
`Sea swell energy decays exponentially with increasing depth below the sea-surface. That means GeoStreamer GS data is recorded in an
`environment that is quiet and less affected by swell. The equipment is also less subject to current variations.
`
`Since its luanch in 2008, GeoStreamer surveys have demonstrated negligible downtime related to weather and sea-surface effects.
`
`Survey efficiency and safety also benefit from proper pre-survey planning and project management. These consider geophysical, environmental
`and operational challenges and best practices.
`
`PGS has been setting the industry benchmarks for 3D surveys since the early-1990s. Increased towing and handling capacity have clear
`advantages. As a result, the Ramform fleet has led the large-scale industry adoption of HD3D, HD4D, multi-azimuth (MAZ) and wide-azimuth (WAZ)
`survey geometries in most global regions.
`
`The immense Ramform back deck facilitates facilitates efficient and safe handling of streamers on one
`deck level, source arrays on another deck level, and workboat handling from protected areas at the

`Current Ramforms have a back deck width of about 40 m. The Ramform Titan will be 70 m across the
`beam.
