Press Release Summary: Sensornet, the global provider of the world's most advanced
monitoring solutions, has been awarded a contract to supply two Distributed
Temperature Sensing (DTS) systems for smart water injectors from a major Middle East
National Oil Company.

Press Release Body: Sensornet, the global provider of the world's most advanced
monitoring solutions, has been awarded a contract to supply two Distributed
Temperature Sensing (DTS) systems for smart water injectors from a major Middle East
National Oil Company.

The contract, worth approximately $1.3M, involves the installation of passive inflow
control devices (ICDs) which will enable an evenly distributed injection profile
along the open hole horizontal section of the injector wells. The installation is
scheduled to take place later this year.

The DTS systems will deliver real time data which will dramatically enhance the
operator's understanding of reservoir injectivity performance and sweep efficiency.
In addition to providing crucial injectivity profiling data, the DTS systems will
also be used for stimulation optimisation. Sensornet's proprietary SureSightTM
sensing cable will provide high resolution temperature measurements to continuously
monitor the stimulation operation in real time. This will provide data on the
targeted zones which will enable the operator to make informed decisions to adjust
the stimulation program if required.

The operator intends to deploy this innovative technology on a significant number of
its power water injector wells in 2009 creating considerable financial and
logistical savings.

Mark Watson, Sensornet VP Middle East commented: "We are delighted to be awarded
this major contract and look forward to working with the operator on this exciting
project. Monitoring and understanding reservoir injectivity performance is a key
issue for the operator. By providing fully distributed data, the operator is able
to instantly act on results gathered, which not only reduces uncertainty about
individual well performance, but will also facilitate reservoir and production
engineers ability to make significant improvements in overall field reservoir
management, which will ultimately provide enhanced production."
