Fugro Airborne Surveys is the most versatile and technologically advanced airborne survey company in the world. Through a network of offices spanning the globe, Fugro Airborne Surveys provides comprehensive geophysical mapping technologies for a wide variety of applications. Those of primary relevance to oil & gas exploration are airborne magnetic, gravity and radiometric surveys which can be obtained on a proprietary or non-exclusive basis in any part of the world.

Fugro Airborne Surveys also houses the most comprehensive, privately owned non-exclusive airborne geophysical database in the world. The database equates to approximately 10,500,000 line kilometres (6,500,000 line miles) world-wide. Data may be licensed for entire surveys or for specific areas of interest. Land gravity data is also available through Fugro Airborne Surveys.

NPA can supply information on Fugro's non-exclusive world-wide data which includes extensive surveys over parts of North America, South America, Europe, Africa and Australia. In many of the Fugro offshore areas, NPA have also completed seep detection studies and onshore, detailed structural interpretation projects. The integration of both data will be a powerful new tool for regional and prospect evaluation.

The Really Easy Imaging Company Limited (TREICoL) was formed in 1992 to offer expert analysis of airborne and satellite image data as a service to oil and mining industries, the military and environmental agencies. TREICoL's expertise is in radar and thermal infrared remote sensing of land and ocean, in terrain recognition and in change detection.

TREICoL and NPA created a joint-venture in 1993 to develop and market Offshore Basin Screening (OBS) and associated Offshore Pollution Audit, Thermal Basin Screening and other oil-seepage mapping methods. TREICoL also collaborated with NPA to initiate their now successful SAR Interferometry services.

TREICoL is led by Dr Geoff Lawrence, BSc, PhD, FGS, Founding President of the Geological Remote Sensing Group, whose career has included fieldwork in 40 countries, remote sensing projects in 120 countries, Visiting Industry Associate at NASA's JPL and Manager of Satellite Remote Sensing at BP Exploration.

TGS-NOPEC is a leading global provider of non-exclusive seismic data, products and services to the oil and gas industry. TGS-NOPEC specializes in the planning, acquisition, processing, interpretation, and marketing of non-exclusive surveys worldwide. TGS also provides advanced imaging solutions for client data.

NPA and TGS-Nopec, Oslo, recently signed an extension of their agreement to pursue and promote joint seep-seismic projects world-wide. The first of these will be in South Sakhalin, to be followed by others in the former CIS and possibly Greenland and Labrador.

AOA Geophysics offers clients a broad range of geophysical and related services, from regional reconnaissance studies to prospect modeling to basin-screening analysis.

AOA Geophysics-NPA Circum-India Project

In November 2004, NPA completed a multi-coverage SAR study over the entire Indian offshore (Phase 1). The work was done in conjunction with AOA who subsequently generated a seep-seismic correlation study as the basis for a seep sampling and high resolution swath bathymetry programme (Phase 2), which is currently in progress. Further collaboration projects with AOA are planned.

TDI-Brooks International Inc., a Texas corporation, provides scientific services on a global basis with a focus on petroleum geochemistry, surface geochemical exploration, oil spill response, oceanographic surveys, environmental chemistry, and multi-disciplinary environmental assessments. Our clients include most major oil companies, as well as numerous state and federal agencies.

NPA and TDI Brooks have had a long-established, informal relationship of data sharing and exchange. The generation of joint projects combining seep and geochemical data-sets for West Africa (Angola & Nigeria) and other countries are now being undertaken.

EPSweb represents a team of highly skilled senior E&P sales and marketing professionals working together to improve revenues and shorten the sales cycle.

EPSweb utilises the contribution of a global network of experienced E&P professionals. These well-placed individuals have invaluable knowledge and understanding of their local markets. By tapping into this vital resource, EPSweb can carry out expedient, in-depth market research and product development unrivalled by any other sales service available.

NPA and EPSweb have recently agreed to co-operate on revenue-sharing projects involving NPA's offshore seep data. An example is Exploration Geosciences Offshore Africa Project.

As the United State's largest water, earth, biological science and civilian mapping agency, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) collects, monitors, analyzes, and provides scientific understanding about natural resource conditions, issues, and problems. The diversity of their scientific expertise enables them to carry out large-scale, multi-disciplinary investigations and provide impartial scientific information to resource managers, planners, and other customers.

NPA and USGS (Menlo Park) are developing a joint project on the world famous Santa Barbara Basin seeps. NPA are contributing their multi-coverage SAR seep detection data, which the USGS will integrate with their extensive onshore geological and seep database.

JMJ Petroleum, now Singapore-based, have agreed to develop joint projects in the S.E. Asia region, both on and offshore.

A regional, geotectonic, map of South-East Asia is being prepared for the Seapex 2007 conference in April, combining data supplied by NPA, JMJ, DIGS and IHS.

Dickson International Geosciences (DIGS) and NPA signed an agreement to exchange information in specified regions, such as West Africa. A poster on this area entitled "Doing The Geochemical "Cotton Eye Joe" In West Africa (Niger Delta To Angola): Identifying The Source Of Radarsat Slicks With Piston Cores, Oil Samples, Potential Fields And Near-surface Seismic" will be presented at the 2007 AAPG meeting in Long Beach, California, which will also include data supplied by TDI-Brooks International, Geochemical Solutions Int., and Grizzly Geosciences.
