Trican Well Service Ltd. (TSX:TCW) ("Trican") and GeoTomo LLC ("GeoTomo") are
pleased to announce that they have formed Trican GeoTomo Microseismic Ltd.
("TGML"). TGML provides microseismic services to oil and gas producers by
integrating Trican's extensive experience in hydraulic fracturing engineering
and GeoTomo's unique geophysical software capabilities. 


TGML takes fracture mapping to a level that we believe is currently unavailable
in the marketplace, offering the acquisition, processing, visualization and
interpretation of microseismic data during hydraulic fracturing operations. This
offering is the result of a new software package called MiVu(TM), which is
capable of performing microseismic model building, survey optimization, data
processing, event imaging, quality control, and visualization with advanced
geophysical technologies and high-performance commercial software graphics
utilities. 


TGML will use MiVu's full 3-Dimensional (3D) capabilities with 3D visualization
tools referencing surface seismic, borehole data, 3D velocity modelling, 3D
tomographic inversion, 3D structures and faults, which are integrated with
Trican's extensive fracturing and reservoir knowledge and experience with the
goal of optimizing fracture design. 


MiVu is expected to enable users to locate microseismic events generated by a
fracture treatment using up to five (5) different techniques. TGML leverages the
MiVu advancements in geophysical software and Trican's notable depth of
experience in geological and pressure pumping services to offer customized
solutions that are expected to match the uniqueness of a given well. We believe
these customized solutions should provide a highly accurate view of a customer's
fracture network which should assist the producer in determining optimal
fracture performance with the expectation that production from future wells in
the reservoir should improve. The integration of one or several of MiVu's
processing capabilities with fracture models, as well as the analysis of
experienced geophysicists, geologists, and fracturing and reservoir experts,
should result in customers receiving an unparalleled interpretation of their
reservoir and should optimize the completion of the reservoir. 


TGML is ready to begin working with customers to offer MiVu's advanced
subsurface view and analysis of their reservoirs, and expects to deliver results
beyond current expectations. 


Headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, Trican has operations in Canada, the United
States, Russia, Kazakhstan, Australia and Norway. Trican provides a
comprehensive array of specialized products, equipment and services that are
used during the exploration and development of oil and gas reserves.  


GeoTomo develops high-end geophysical software products that help geophysicists
around the world to image beneath the subsurface. Oil and gas companies use
GeoTomo's software solutions to significantly reduce the risk and cost of
finding and producing hydrocarbons. GeoTomo has offices in Houston, Texas,
Beijing, China.
