CAPEX

exposure • Strong operators with proven track records in the deep water offshore Nigeria environment

Proven Reserves and Discoveries • Independent verification of resource numbers by RPS Energy a recognised technical expert (2010) • Participation in the BSWAp development (P50 : 941 MMboe gross recoverable resources), located close to the greater Bonga production hub and operated by Shell (SNEPCO) on behalf of NNPC • Material discoveries include Nsiko field (Gross resources P50: 289 MMboe) Uge field (Gross resources P50: 268 MMbbl) and Orso field (Gross resources P50: 10 MMbbl)

Additional Exploration Upside • Oil and gas prone exploration targets in basin with proven petroleum systems or basins with nearby analogous discoveries • Significant portfolio of prospects and leads with combined unrisked, gross, prospective resources of approaching 2 Bn boe (RPS Energy, 2010)
