7 Company strategy Provide a full range of in-house marine geophysical services Asset light strategy; all vessels charted in on medium to long term TC contracts. Multi years options (at fixed prices) to extend TC contracts. Key seismic equipment to be owned by the company Flexibility to match fleet size to market conditions Attractive vessel cash break-even levels Modern high end fleet with proven design and efficient operations Target a balanced growth mix between contract seismic** and Multi-Client** Currently present in 2D- and 3D contract seismic and Multi-Client markets Scheduled growth aimed at the 3D segments, 2D activity to be stable or reduced Continue to expand within Multi-Client investments Fleet allocation between contract seismic and Multi-Client next years expected to be approx % for the 3D fleet and 50-50% for the 2D vessels Increase processing capacities Global presence but with main focus on the major E&P regions; the North Sea, Brazil, West Africa and GoM Maintain a strong financial position ** Contract seismic: Acquisition of seismic data on an exclusive basis, mainly short to medium term contracts towards oil companies and national governing bodies Multi-Client: acquire and license non-exclusive data, sold to multiple customer both pre survey start (prefunding) and post data acquisition (late sales)

14 Dolphin s in-house processing capabilities provides clear benefits to the Company s Multi-Client ambitions Dolphin acquired processing company Open Geophysical in Q On-board processing facilities on all vessels Dolphin has a modern processing centre in the UK and more than 30 persons working with processing By having in-house processing, Dolphin can develop and test new processing technologies, algorithms and sequences on MC datasets without divulging anything to competitors In-house processing also provides Dolphin with control over processing costs which is vital for MC budgeting Dolphin is already receiving tenders for processing projects not from vessel follow-on 14

15 Q2 Vessel schedule (for illustration purposes) D 2D Norwegian sea Schedule comments: Contract seismic Multi-Client Transit Idle Tendering Balanced MC/contract backlog with blue-chip clients Artemis Arctic (3D) backlog secured into early Q1 Artemis Atlantic (2D) awarded work covering first half of Q Polar Explorer (2D) will be redelivered to owner as per time charter by end January Statoil likely to extend the West Africa contract for Polar Duke (3D) with up to one month Continued strong tender activity for Q1-Q2. Early tender activity for the coming North Sea season indicates a y- o-y demand increase 15
