2011 Overall highlights

  • Chim Sao and Gajah Baru projects on stream imminently

– Production of 60,000 boepd by year end

  • 12 developments proceeding through development stages

– Building towards 100,000 boepd

  • Resource additions through exploration on track to deliver 200 mmboe of

2P reserves by 2015

  • Wytch Farm, Solan and Fyne acquisitions add 43 mmboe of reserves and

resources at a cost of around $5/bbl

  • Financial strength positions us well

– Profits after tax of $88.5 million – Growing operating cash flows exceed capital commitments – Cash and undrawn bank facilities of $1.3 billion

  • Premier has the regional database to

pursue amplitude supported Tertiary prospects throughout the Central North Sea

  • The focus is towards basin margin

settings in structural/stratigraphic traps

  • Over the next 12 months Premier will

drill at least 5 exploration wells on this play

  • These wells will test a total gross

unrisked prospective resource of 100 mmbo (net 40 mmbo)
