The title and class of equity security to which this amendment to the Schedule 13D relates is the Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the Common Stock), of Geokinetics Inc., a Delaware corporation (Geokinetics or the Company). The principal executive offices of Geokinetics are located at One Riverway, Suite 2100 Houston, Texas 77056. The following amendments to the Schedule 13D are hereby made.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
(a)
(1) | Avista may be deemed to beneficially own in the aggregate 7,990,833 shares of Common Stock, comprised of 2,266,340 shares of Common Stock, 258,998 shares of the New Series B-1 Preferred Stock which are convertible into 4,059,529 shares of Common Stock of the Company, and warrants to purchase 1,664,964 shares of Common Stock, collectively representing approximately 32.3% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Of such shares, Avista has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to no shares, and shared voting and dispositive power with respect to 2,266,340 shares of Common Stock, 258,998 shares of the New Series B-1 Preferred Stock, and 1,664,964 shares of Common Stock which may be acquired upon the exercise of warrants as a result of the relationships described in paragraph (b) (1) and (2) below. |
(2) | Avista Offshore may be deemed to beneficially own in the aggregate 2,107,026 shares of Common Stock, comprised of 597,614 shares of Common Stock, 68,290 shares of New Series B-1 Preferred Stock which are convertible into 1,070,376 shares of Common Stock, and warrants to purchase 439,036 shares of Common Stock, collectively representing approximately 10.3% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock. Of such shares, Avista Offshore has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to no shares, and shared voting and dispositive power with respect to 597,614 shares of Common Stock, 68,290 shares of the New Series B-1 Preferred Stock, and 439,036 shares of Common Stock which may be acquired upon the exercise of warrants as a result of the relationships described in paragraph (b) (1) and (3) below. |
(3) | Avista GP may be deemed to beneficially own in the aggregate 10,097,859 shares of Common Stock, comprised of 2,863,954 shares of Common Stock, 327,288 shares of New Series B-1 Preferred Stock which are convertible into 5,129,905 shares of Common Stock, and warrants to purchase 2,104,000 shares of Common Stock, collectively representing approximately 38.5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Of such shares, Avista GP has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to no shares, and shared voting and dispositive power with respect to 2,863,954 shares of Common Stock, 327,288 shares of the New Series B-1 Preferred Stock which are convertible into 5,129,905 shares of Common Stock, and 2,104,000 shares of Common Stock which may be acquired upon the exercise of warrants as a result of the relationships described in paragraphs (b) (1), (2) and (3) below. |

Avista GP is the sole general partner of Avista and Avista Offshore and, therefore, may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the shares of Common Stock, New Series B-1 Preferred Stock and Common Stock which may be acquired upon the exercise of warrants (including the 2010 Warrants) owned of record by Avista and Avista Offshore. |
(2) | Of the 2,266,340 shares of Common Stock, 258,998 shares of the New Series B-1 Preferred Stock, and 1,664,964 shares of Common Stock which may be acquired upon the exercise of warrants for which Avista has shared voting and dispositive power, all of such shares are held of record by Avista. |

Each of the Filing Parties expressly disclaims beneficial ownership with respect to any shares of Common Stock covered by this Statement (or shares of New Series B-1 Preferred Stock or warrants) not owned of record by it.
(c) Since the filing of Amendment No. 12, the Filing Parties have received the following shares of Old Series B Preferred Stock as quarterly dividend payments on shares of Old Series B Preferred Stock in the form of additional shares of Old Series B Preferred Stock, which has now been converted into New Series B-1 Preferred Stock.
