INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES, AUSTRALIA, CANADA OR JAPAN, OR ANY

PETROLEUM GEO-SERVICES ASA - SUBSEQUENT OFFERING

Reference is made to the stock exchange release published earlier today,
November 23, 2016, by Petroleum Geo-Services ASA (the "Company") regarding the
private placement of 85,500,000 new shares (the "Private Placement") in the
Company raising gross proceeds of approximately NOK 1.9 billion (approximately
USD 225 million) and the decision to carry out a subsequent offering (the
"Subsequent Offering"), subject to market conditions, of up to 13,500,000 new
shares in the Company (the "Offer Shares") for gross proceeds of approximately
NOK 300 million (approximately USD 35 million) (corresponding to approximately
16% of the size of the Private Placement). The Subsequent Offering is subject to
shareholder approval by the Company's general meeting, such extraordinary
general meeting scheduled to be held on December 14, 2016.

The Subsequent Offering will, on the basis of a prospectus (the "Prospectus") to
be approved by the Norwegian Financial Supervisory Authority and published
thereafter, be directed towards the shareholders of the Company as of the expiry
of November 22, 2016, as registered in Company's shareholder register with the
Norwegian Securities Depository ("VPS") as of expiry of November 24, 2016, who
were not allocated shares in the Private Placement, and who are not resident in
a jurisdiction where such offering would be unlawful or, for jurisdictions other
than Norway, would require any prospectus, filing, registration or similar
action ("Eligible Shareholders"). For the purposes of determining Eligible
Shareholders, the Company's Board of Directors may look solely to a transcript
from the Company's shareholder register with VPS on November 24, 2016, without
further consideration of whether this actually reflects who were shareholders as
of expiry of November 22, 2016. Such Eligible Shareholders will be granted non-
tradable subscription rights giving right to subscribe and be allocated Offer
Shares.

The subscription price in the Subsequent Offering is NOK 22.50 per Offer Share,
being the same as the subscription price in the Private Placement. The
subscription period in the Subsequent Offering will commence shortly after
publication of the Prospectus (expected to take place on or about December
15, 2016).

The following key information is given with respect to the Subsequent Offering:
