Nikolay Levitskiy, IGSS Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"Comparing the results of the last two seasons, we see that the past season 2012-2013 is better in all respects. Results of the first quarter of 2013 show our first achievements at Vakunayskiy oilfield license area in the Irkutsk Region where for the first time in the Russian Federation we employ the innovative UniQ high density seismic acquisition technology. In the first quarter we have achieved the record breaking seismic crew productivity of 2,000 shot points per day. We will continue to remain focused on improvement of exploration efficiency through the use of advanced technologies which allow better understanding of reservoirs."
