Press Release Summary: Sensornet, the global provider of the most advanced
monitoring solutions, has successfully installed the world's first multi-point
open-hole Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) technology for a major operator in
the Middle East.

Press Release Body: Sensornet, the global provider of the most advanced monitoring
solutions, has successfully installed the world's first multi-point open-hole
Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) technology for a major operator in the Middle
East.

The DTS system was installed across the entire horizontal open-hole section which
allows continuous real-time monitoring of flow contribution from the Inflow Control
Device (ICD) equaliser system.

The Sensornet SureSightT cable was deployed along the entire 11,000ft well and was
successfully passed through one production packer and four swell packers which were
used for compartmentalisation of production zones in the open-hole section.
Pressure testable splice assemblies were installed above each packer with zero
optical losses. The installation took less than 3 days to install and was completed
at the end of May 2008.

Prior to the completion a Production Logging Tool (PLT) intervention was carried out
to determine the optimum producing intervals and to facilitate the final setting
depth for each swell packer providing zonal isolation in the open hole section.

The ICD equalised production will maximise reservoir drainage along the entire
open-hole horizontal section of these production wells. Being continuously monitored
by the permanently installed DTS system will not only confirm the production
allocation and detect any changes in the production flow profile over time, but it
will also dramatically reduce the need for PLT intervention which brings significant
financial benefits to the operator.

The DTS system was also continuously monitored during the installation. This
provides real-time data during all phases of the completion assuring the operator
that the Sensornet DTS system was fully functional during operations and allowing
performance testing and confirmation on functionality of other completion
components.

Mark Watson, Sensornet VP Middle East, said: "The installation of the DTS in an ICD
system is another world first for the company and reiterates our position as a
solutions provider in advanced monitoring capabilities.

"This technology bridges the gap between assumption and knowledge, allowing the
operator to fully understand the performance and integrity of a well or reservoir in
order to maximise its potential, without added expense, time or potentially
hazardous intervention. It provides fully distributed data in real-time to allow
the operator to act instantly on results gathered."
