BUSINESS SUMMARY 
Dawson Geophysical Company provides onshore seismic data acquisition services in the United States. It acquires and processes two dimensional (2D), three dimensional (3D), and multi-component seismic data for oil and gas companies and independent oil and gas operators, as well as for providers of multi-client data libraries. The company’s 2-D method involves the collection of seismic data in a linear fashion and generates a single plane of subsurface seismic data. Its 3-D method produces a volume of seismic data, which produces precise images of the earth’s subsurface. As of September 30, 2008, the company operated 16 seismic data acquisition crews in the lower 48 states of the United States and a seismic data processing center. Dawson Geophysical Company was founded in 1952. The company is headquartered in Midland, Texas and has additional offices in Houston, Denver, Oklahoma City, and Michigan.
