About RXT: Reservoir Exploration Technology ASA (RXT)
is the only marine geophysical company specializing
in multi component seismic seafloor acquisition.
Multi-component seismic solves several imaging
challenges that cannot be resolved with towed
streamer seismic, and targets improved oil recovery
from existing fields. The technology also gives
better data quality for appraisal and development,
and is also the solution where towed streamers are
impractical due to high density of platforms and/or
shallow waters. RXT has offices in Oslo, Norway in
Abu Dhabi, UAE and Houston, Texas. RXT is listed on
the stock exchange in Norway (OSE ticker: RXT).
