Naersnes, Norway, October 19, 2000 - TGS-NOPEC Geophysical Company in cooperation with Fugro-Geoteam is pleased to announce acquisition of non-exclusive 2D survey EBS00 (see attached map). The EBS00 survey, South of the Yme Field, is focused on the blocks 9/6, 10/4, 10/5 and 10/7, thus covering blocks 9/3, 9/8, 9/9, 10/8, 10/10 and 10/11 (less density). The acquisition of EBS00 commenced on Sept. 15 using the vessel Professor Polshkov.
