Question: Neal Dingmann - Dahlman Rose & Company - Analyst
: Good morning, guys. Solid quarter.
Question: Neal Dingmann - Dahlman Rose & Company - Analyst
: Couple of things, Bill. One, on looking at all of the channels that you've ramped up to as well as all of the streamers, any near-term plans to add on
one of those fronts? Maybe you have enough confidence there or you just, what are you kind of looking at?
Question: Neal Dingmann - Dahlman Rose & Company - Analyst
: Okay.
And then looking, you talked about the strong winter season in Canada as well as all the international activity that you all have now. How different,
Bill, are margins like when I look at South America versus Pacific Rim versus Russia versus, I guess, what we're used to here domestically? Does it
vary or is it, you know, pretty high across the board?
Question: Neal Dingmann - Dahlman Rose & Company - Analyst
: Okay. Okay.
And then on, I think we kind of, you know, you've guided pretty well as far as what Seamap, you're out as far as what you think that will be running
on a top line and perhaps a bottom line. What about the other sales side as far as some of the new equipment and some of the other things? How
do you that will progress through the year or do you expect a whole lot from that?
Question: Neal Dingmann - Dahlman Rose & Company - Analyst
: Okay. And then last question.
As far as just domestically, are there certain areas, I mean, with these new shell plays and different things that we're obviously hearing a lot about
these days that you're getting called for? I'm just sort of wondering if there's one region both international, both domestic, I should say, and in
international that sort of sticks out?
Question: Neal Dingmann - Dahlman Rose & Company - Analyst
: Okay. Okay. Thanks, guys. Keep up the good work.
Question: Terese Fabian - Sidoti & Company - Analyst
: Thank you. Good morning.
I have a question on your Seamap sales and visibility going forward. You talked I think at the last conference call that probably the second half
would be, you'd be getting more marine vessels sort of online. Do you have any more visibility on that?
Question: Terese Fabian - Sidoti & Company - Analyst
: Okay.
And then a question on the vertical seismic profiling equipment that you're purchasing. Is that more for production than for exploration and can
you talk a little bit about what the competitive market is on that? What some alternative products are and who your customers would be?
Question: Terese Fabian - Sidoti & Company - Analyst
: Since it's just placed in one spot or in one area in the well bore, does it give much horizontal view?

Question: Terese Fabian - Sidoti & Company - Analyst
: Sounds like an interesting prospect. Just one last question in that sense. International as well as domestic market do you think?
Question: Terese Fabian - Sidoti & Company - Analyst
: All right. Thank you.
Question: Terese Fabian - Sidoti & Company - Analyst
: Yes, I have a question on utilization and pricing of the seismic equipment. Do you see any change in pricing? Any ups or down there in your lease
equipment?
Question: Terese Fabian - Sidoti & Company - Analyst
: And the utilization, you said could be improving as you move some of your testing facilities to geographic locations. What kind of an improvement
do you think you'd see on that?
Question: Terese Fabian - Sidoti & Company - Analyst
: Okay. Thank you.
