High Plains Oil Play Program

• ECHO was founded on August 1st, 1986 by a group
  of seismic processors for the purpose of doing
  processing work. Creativity combined with a need
  to generate cash flow inspired the data pool
  concept.
• The company became a niche data provider, and
  since 1987 ECHO has succeeded time and time again
  in developing small programs into large,
  attractive data pools. One of ECHOs newest data
  pools is the High Plains Oil Play Program. ECHO
  expects significant growth in this program in
  2011.
• Participants in this program will receive the
  newly reprocessed data for no additional charge.
• ECHO takes its processing challenges very
  seriously, and we will not release a product
  unless we believe it is better than the original
  version we received from the data contributor.

Processing in the High Plains
ECHOs experience resolving processing challenges
in the oil basins of the High Plains is
impressive. In the early 2000s while other
processing centers were working mostly in highly
structural natural gas plays, ECHOs data pool
projects were preparing its processing staff for
the flood of projects based on resource plays
that are currently prominent in the Williston,
Powder River, and Denver-Julesburg basins of the
High Plains. Data pool operations combined with
proprietary processing services have afforded
ECHOs analysts the opportunity to expand upon an
already impressive experience level while
building expertise in these basins. Data pool
projects alone have provided additional
experience to ECHOs analysts on over 110 surveys
covering more than 2,400 square miles in these
areas in recent years. Likewise, approximately
8,300 miles of 2D data in the area have recently
been processed by ECHO through its data pools.

Processing Experience

• ECHOs processing geophysicists have developed
  skills essential to dealing with resource play
  processing challenges. While all of ECHOs
  analysts can provide top-notch processing
  services, the following are some of ECHOs
  processing experts in these basins
• Senior Staff Geophysicist Bill Wepfer, Ph.D. has
  earned many accolades from oil explorers as a
  result of his ability to find a way to improve
  upon existing processing on any survey with
  blazing efficiency. Bill has worked as an
  interpreter and knows from his own experience
  what clients need most out of their seismic
  processing services.
• A multitude of loyal clients return time and
  again to Senior Processing Geophysicist Rick
  Steineck for his highly attentive service and
  indisputable experience. Ricks unrivaled work
  ethic and attention to detail are a perfect match
  for the finely tuned processing work required in
  these plays.

Processing Experience (cont.)

• Seasoned processing veteran Randy Jacksons 30
  years experience in processing data in the
  greater Rocky Mountains allows him to provide
  services to clients working the area with
  confidence and efficiency. Randy has owned a
  seismic processing center in the past and knows
  very well the effort required to produce high
  quality processing products.
• After 30 years of processing data in the Rockies,
  Senior Processing Geophysicist Kris Brault has
  developed a great reputation for his ability to
  listen to client input and determine what
  processing techniques will most effectively
  achieve the clients goals. Kris has also
  co-owned a processing shop and attracts repeat
  business with a combination of admirable
  dedication and strong insight into geophysical
  applications suitable for the specific geology of
  resource plays.
• Beginning his career by spending several years
  working on refraction statics and geometry
  problems, followed by training with Bill Wepfer
  on comprehensive time processing projects, Bob
  Vite is a home grown star. He has become very
  skilled in solving tricky statics problems and is
  developing a base of clients who are big fans of
  his work.
