OSLO, NORWAY–(Marketwire - August 1, 2008) -

August 1, 2008: Oslo, Norway - Petroleum Geo-Services ASA (”PGS” or

StatoilHydro will be the first customer for the Ramform Sterling,

STAVANGER, NORWAY–(Marketwire - August 1, 2008) -

StatoilHydro ASA (OSE: STL, NYSE:STO) second quarter 2008 result was
influenced by high production and high prices. Net income in the
second quarter of 2008 amounted to NOK 18.9 billion, up 36% compared
to NOK 13.9 billion in the second quarter of 2007. Net income in the
first half of 2008 amounted to NOK 35.0 billion, compared to NOK 23.9
billion in the first half of 2007.

The increase in net income from the second quarter of 2007 to the
second quarter of 2008 was mainly due to a 44% increase in realised
liquids (crude oil, condensate and NGL) prices measured in NOK, a 49%
increase in natural gas prices and an 8% increase in lifted volumes.
The increase was partly offset by negative net financial income and
higher taxes.
