Svein Ellingsrud and Terje Eidesmo first developed SBL in 1997 when they
were working at Statoil ASA, which had been conducting for some time research
in the field using electromagnetic waves in downhole tools to investigate
reservoir properties, especially movement of water fronts . During a project
in which the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute participated, information about
a strong magnetic source triggered the idea of a possible direct hydrocarbon
indicator.

In combination with seismic, emgs can go beyond traditional methods
when it comes to deciding the likelihood of finding hydrocarbons beneath the
seabed. While seismic surveying is based on sound waves and an advanced
method of defining structures and identifying possible reservoirs, SBL is
based on electromagnetic waves and can determine whether the reservoir
contains hydrocarbons or water. From this, the idea of "logging from the sea bed" by scaling up
the distance, wavelength and power outputs was born.

emgs made the first
discovery of hydrocarbons solely on the basis of SBL in 2001. More information about emgs and SBL can be found on the Company's
