Forward-Looking Statements
Ш This presentation contains forward-looking statements.
Ш Forward-looking statements are based on management
      assumptions and analyses.
Ш Actual experience may differ and such differences may
  be material.
Ш Backlog consists of written orders and estimates for our
  services which we believe to be firm. In many instances
  contracts are cancelable by customers so we may never
  realize some or all of our backlog, which may lead to
  lower than expected financial performance.
Ш Forward-looking statements are subject to uncertainties
  and risks which are disclosed in Geokinetics’ Annual
  Report on Form 10-K.

Seismic Data Acquisition and Processing
Needed at All Stages of the E&P Cycle
“With 3-D seismic, we can understand the detailed geology much
better than before. And that translates to opportunities to drill new
wells to bolster production in mature fields.”
- ExxonMobil, The Lamp (2007 - Number 4)

Robust Industry Fundamentals
Ш Seismic crew activity has grown steadily in land and increased
  rapidly in the marine streamer market in response to commodity
  prices, but still lags increase in drilling rigs
 
Ш International plays (NOCs) are a key driver for seismic growth
  Pressure for continued growth in activity, even at lower
 commodity prices
Ш Seismic crew count in the U.S. is still less than the lowest levels
   in the 1990s when oil prices were near $20 per barrel
Ш Increasing demand for seabed seismic data acquisition
  (Transition Zone, Ocean Bottom Cable and 4D)
Ш Oil companies reloading prospect inventories
  Resource plays are big drivers
  Technical advances drive activity and create barriers to entry
  Recent trend for more specialized crews and equipment
Ш Fundamentals are strong, but we are continually monitoring
  for any trend toward overcapacity

 and the budgeting cycle of international companies
Ш 2Q07 impacted primarily by severe weather in the U.S. and a job being declared force majeure
Ш Quarterly volatility reflects varying crew profitability due to fluctuations in size, job, location,
   utilization of crews and the timing of crew moves
