In January, Diversified Wilbanks, Inc., accepted delivery of a SonarWiz Surveyor system complete with our SonarWeb processing system. Diversified Wilbanks conducts marine archaeological for the famed author Clive Cussler.

Fugro GeoServices, Inc.
Chesapeake delivered the 5th SonarWiz Surveyor simultaneous sidescan and sub-bottom data acquisition system to Fugro GeoServices in Lafayette, LA in June 2002. The SonarWiz SSS/SBP system can acquire sidescan and sub-bottom data simultaneously from asynchronous trigger sources offering a compact, efficient and robust surveying solution. Standard SonarWiz features include TVG, Stacking, Band-cut Filter, Redundant Data Logging to Multiple Drives, Thermal Printer Support, Sonar Coverage Map, Target Capture and Eventing. Our latest version of SonarWiz.SBP includes support for multi-ping mode providing high-resolution along-track coverage by stacking multiple acoustic pings in the water column. Unlike some systems that rely on proprietary closed data formats, SonarWiz records in standard XTF and SEG-Y common public data formats that are post processing friendly to a plethora of other systems. The sidescan portion of the system works with FGSI’s Edgetech 272 towfish while the sub-bottom portion of the package works with any analog sub-bottom system. "Chesapeake has been extremely responsive in tailoring the SonarWiz systems to our requirements", said Chad Pastor, Geoprocessing Supervisor at Fugro GeoServices. In addition to providing high-quality data in shallow water, the SonarWiz.SBP multi-ping modes provide the ability to collect very high-resolution data in our deep-water projects.

A coalition of environmental groups from New York and New Jersey are using Fishers SeaOtter ROV to gather evidence on the state of the marine environment in the area’s coastal waters. "One of our main concerns is the use of contaminated material to fill holes in the bottom of New York harbor that were created by previous dredging operations", says spokesman Frank Crescitelli. "Our other concern is the dredging operations that remove contaminated material from the bottom. These types of operations put contaminants back into the water which can then spread throughout the entire marine ecosystem."

Frank operates the charter fishing boat, Neptune’s Champion, out of Staten Island and is also the vice president of the Staten Island chapter of the Coastal Conservation Association (CCA). CCA and the Natural Resources Preservation Association (NRPA), two lay environmental groups whose members include fisherman and boat captains, are hoping to convince the Army Corps of Engineers that life abounds in the "borrow pits". The pits are underwater craters created when material was dredged from the harbor bottom for landfill projects in years past. Now the Corps, by order from the state, is investigating the environmental and technical feasibility of filling in the pits with dredged material from other areas. The environmental groups contend the dredging and filling operations will put contaminants back into a healthy marine environment that is recovering nicely after years of pollution. The position of the branch chief of environmental analysis at the Corps of Engineers is that the pits are almost completely devoid of oxygen and contain only minimal forms of life.

To prove their case, the environmental groups needed to purchase equipment that would allow them to videotape life in the borrow pits. Money came from a grant by the Norcross Wildlife Foundation with additional funds from CCA and two NY city councilmen. "We looked at several underwater cameras before deciding on Fishers SeaOtter", said Frank. "We needed a system that could maneuver around in the pits. Simple drop cameras wouldn’t work here. This led us to an ROV, but we needed one powerful enough to handle the harbor currents, something the smaller ROVs couldn’t do. The SeaOtter has the capabilities to do all of that, and it gives a beautiful video picture." Equipped with their high tech underwater camera system the groups have been able to show the pits are complete marine ecosystems teeming with life. "We were amazed at the amount of life down there. The video showed the ocean bottom in these pits is blanketed with mussels, clams, and a variety of other marine creatures."

Geotrace has announced that it’s Reservoir Services Group has been awarded one of it’s largest contracts to apply its proprietary technique, High Frequency Imaging (HFI) on an approximately 3,000 square kilometer survey in the UK sector of the North Sea. The work is for Talisman Energy (UK) Limited and covers a number of blocks in Quads 14 & 15, which is one of the company’s core areas of operation.

HFI is an exclusive technique that utilizes seismic, wireline and borehole seismic data to recover usable high frequencies not previously thought possible. The enhanced imaging of data provides increased resolution for structural and stratigraphic interpretation. The techniques have helped identify new well locations in thinly bedded reservoirs that would not have otherwise been drilled. Some of the examples show sands as thin as 20 feet which can be identified from the seismic data. President, Bill Schrom stated that "We are pleased to be working with Talisman on this major project in the North Sea which will demonstrate the applicability of this technique to enhance oil recovery in this relatively mature province."

Geotrace is a leading provider of proprietary technologies aimed at imaging and integrated solutions used to enhance the optimization of petroleum reservoirs. It serves the worldwide petroleum industry.

Talisman Energy Inc. is one of the largest independent Canadian oil and gas producers with operations in Canada, the North Sea, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam and Sudan. Talisman is also conducting exploration in Algeria (includes development), Trinidad (includes appraisal), Colombia and the United States. Talisman has adopted the International Code of Ethics for Canadian Business and is committed to maintaining high standards of excellence in corporate citizenship and social responsibility wherever it does business. The Company's shares are listed on The Toronto Stock Exchange in Canada and the New York Stock Exchange in the United States under the symbol TLM.

Fugro GEOS Inc, USA, has completed an investigation of storms, loop currents and other critical environmental forces at the site of Conoco's Magnolia tension leg platform development in the Gulf of Mexico.

The development is in 4,700 feet of water in the Garden Banks area of the Gulf and represents a world depth record for a project of this type, which will cost $600 million and deliver over 100 million Barrels of Oil Equivalent.

Fugro GEOS used storm-based and operational wind and wave hindcast data to calculate operational and extreme statistics, analyzed by month and direction. By comparing the two data sets the validity of the operational and storm-based data was assessed. The study also examined the wave heights, wind and current speeds to be expected during hurricanes.

The Magnolia development is close to the northern edge of the Gulf of Mexico Loop Current Eddy region of influence and so the potential effects of these eddies were analyzed using data sets from the Climatology and Simulation of Eddies (CASE) project's Gulf Eddy Model (GEM). Maximum surface current speed and direction and the number of days exposure were determined for each eddy in the database. Extremes and occurrence statistics for surface currents were also estimated by using the whole data set.

Fugro GEOS is at present providing a range of metocean consultancy services at a number of deepwater locations in the Gulf of Mexico. These include development of design and operational criteria, analyses of downtime, and advice on operational windows for weather-sensitive operations.

Baton Rouge, LA, June 13, 2002 -- "That little thing sure is sexy," was the comment made by one woman swimming laps in the pool at Louisiana State University while Mark Miller flew his new underwater robot through the waters. The same little ROV (remotely operated vehicle) that was used to explore inside the USS Arizona battleship is new equipment on Miller’s boat, which left Fourchon Port on May 10, 2002, for a 26-day cruise into the Gulf of Mexico and the mouth of the Mississippi.

The VideoRay micro ROV (remotely operated vehicle) will have an important role as it sends back live video of the underwater world to the crew on deck and takes samples in the deep and silty waters. Miller, a research specialist who works for the Coastal Studies Institute of LSU, is studying the marine life that lives and thrives on the legs of oil and gas platforms. His blend of biology and geology has helped the largest oil and gas companies better understand what factors influence the environment around platforms.

Miller’s will be studying several abandoned oil and gas platforms and the largest artificial reef in the world to remove samples and observe barnacles, coral, and algae. According to Miller, scientists onboard will be gathering samples that might lead them to cures for diseases. His second task is a holistic survey of the natural reef shelf off of Louisiana, where the seabed is 220 feet deep. Out of reach for divers, the reef is host to a diversity of fish and coral. Here and at other platforms, Miller will be mapping the area and associating fish with the structure using sonar on the VideoRay. He plans to collect 24 hours of deep-water video using the VideoRay and hopes his research will help answer questions about what attracts and sustains the marine life on the legs.

What makes the 8-pound robot appealing to Miller is its size – about the dimensions of a boot box. The ROV that Miller usually puts to work on his cruises takes six people to operate, weighs 1000 pounds, and takes a crane to move around. "People are eager to go on trips with me, but the first question is always, "Is the ROV involved?" It is a lot of work," says Miller. "With the VideoRay, people will want to be onboard. They can play with it. Not everyone on the boat is a diver, and the VideoRay gives him or her a chance to see what is beneath the platform - without getting wet. The portability of the VideoRay allows me to complete my objectives with less manpower and smaller vessels of opportunity that are less expensive."

The VideoRay ROV is remotely controlled from the surface. A tether up to 500 feet long is attached to a tiny, yellow submersible that has a video eye. The sub gathers underwater video through its camera eye, which is viewed on the surface on a TV monitor. Driving the VideoRay is about as easy as using a videogame, so a specially trained ROV pilot is not needed. The VideoRay Pro II that Miller purchased includes a manipulator, Desert Star positioning system, and Imagenex 851 scanning sonar, and a head mounted display. The unit, including spare parts, personal delivery, and training was just over $50,000. VideoRays are used throughout the world for surveillance, security, exploration, scientific research, recreation, and inspections of all types.

Of the 506 tracts receiving bids, MMS rejected 15 high bids totaling $5,478,221 as insufficient for fair market value. MMS accepted the high bids on 491 tracts, but the high bidders on two tracts decided not to accept and forfeited 1/5th of their high bonus bids. Therefore, MMS received $355,307,255 on 489 high bids plus $484,998.20 in forfeited monies, for a net amount of $355,792,253 in high bids.

"We were pleased with the continued industry competition for Gulf of Mexico leases," said MMS Regional Director Chris Oynes. "Shallow-water bidding (water depths up to 655 feet) was significant for this sale, with shallow-water tracts receiving approximately 57% of the total accepted bids. This shallow-water activity can be attributed to relatively strong energy prices, and the MMS royalty relief provision for 20 bcf of deep gas production (greater than 15,000 feet) in shallow shelf waters," he continued. Sixteen percent of the accepted bids were in deep-water ranging from 2,624 feet to 5,248 feet with a lease term of 10 years, and 15% of the accepted bids were in ultra deep water (5,249 feet or greater), also with a lease term of ten years.

The highest bid accepted on a tract was $17,466,000 by Phillips Petroleum Company for Green Canyon Block 199. The second highest bid was for $14,857,000 by Chevron U.S.A. Inc., Enterprise Oil Gulf of Mexico, Inc., and PanCanadian Gulf of Mexico, Inc., for Green Canyon Block 726. The third highest bid was submitted by BP Exploration and Production Inc., for $14,251,704 for Mississippi Canyon Block 726. All top three bids were in water depths greater than 800 meters (2,624 feet); however, the tract that received the most bids was in less than 200 feet of water. Eugene Island Block 159 received seven bids. This sale indicates the continued strong showing of both major and independent oil and gas companies participating in the Gulf.

The companies that rank in the top five for participating in the highest number of winning bids for Sale 182 are:

MMS is the federal agency in the U.S. Department of the Interior that manages the nation's oil, natural gas and other mineral resources on the outer continental shelf in federal offshore waters. The agency also collects, accounts for and disburses mineral revenues from federal and Indian leases. These revenues totaled nearly $10 billion in 2001 and more than $120 billion since the agency was created in 1982. Annually, nearly $1 billion from those revenues go into the Land and Water Conservation Fund for the acquisition and development of state and federal park and recreation lands.

Mulva will receive the award at a special ceremony during the 23rd annual Oil and Money Conference, scheduled Nov. 5 in London. The conference is co-hosted by the Energy Intelligence Group (EIG) and the International Herald Tribune.

Tom Wallin, president of EIG, says Mulva was chosen for the award in recognition of the aggressive steps he has taken to grow Phillips and position it to compete long-term in an increasingly difficult business environment. Since Mulva became CEO in 1999, Phillips' asset base has grown from $15 billion to one that will exceed $75 billion when the company's merger with Conoco is completed later this year.

Phillips' growth came through a series of strategic transactions. Through two joint ventures, the company created the premier midstream business in the United States and established one of the largest chemicals companies in the world. These were followed by two major acquisitions ? the purchase of ARCO's Alaska business and Tosco's refining and marketing assets.

These transactions set the stage for Phillips' most important move, its merger with Conoco. Expected to be completed in the second half of the year, the merger will create ConocoPhillips, the sixth-largest energy company in the world, based on reserves, and the fifth-largest global refining and marketing company.

The selection committee for the Petroleum Executive of the Year Award included Sir John Browne, group chief executive of BP; Thierry Desmarest, chairman and CEO of TotalFinaElf; Luis E. Giusti, senior advisor at the Center for Strategic and International Studies; Vittorio Mincato, CEO of ENI; Sir Mark Moody-Stuart, former chairman and managing director of Royal Dutch/Shell; Masahisa Naitoh, vice chairman of Itochu Corp.; and Nader H. Sultan, deputy chairman and CEO of Kuwait Petroleum Corp.

Past recipients include Moody-Stuart in 2001, Desmarest in 2000, Lucio Noto, former vice chairman of ExxonMobil, in 1999, Giusti in 1998, and Browne in 1997.
