- Shared geology with UK,
Faroe & Norwegian Atlantic margins
- Serica’s acreage covers many
pre, syn and post-rift plays
- FEL 1/09 & 4/13 Rockall
Basin: higher risk, high reward plays with significant pre-rift structural and post-rift stratigraphic potential
- FEL 1/06 Slyne Basin: proven
low-risk structural plays within Jurassic and Triassic
- Drill-ready prospects mapped
- n 3D seismic
- No need to have to bother
with licence applications!

FEL 1/09 and FEL 4/13 Introduction
- Serica 100% interest in FEL
1/09 & 4/13
- Significant tilted fault blocks
and stratigraphic traps clearly defined on 3D seismic data in approximately 1500-2000m water depth
- AVO supported Albian
turbidite fan (Derryveagh Prospect) overlying tilted fault block (Midleton Prospect)
- Both Derryveagh and
Midleton can be targeted with one well
- Muckish Prospect is a tilted
fault block analogous to the Dooish Discovery

- Stratigraphic Albian turbidite fan (Derryveagh Prospect) exhibiting Class I AVO anomaly
- The play is well established in UK West of Shetlands and the Porcupine Basin
- Excellent sand source proven in 12/13-1A and from eroding pre-rift highs
- A single well could test both Derryveagh and the underlying Midleton Prospect

FEL 1/06 Introduction
10
- FEL 1/06 operated by Serica
(50%) in partnership with RWE
- Close to Serica’s 27/4-1,1z
Bandon Oil Discovery and 40 kms south of Corrib Gas Field
- High quality Lower Jurassic
and Triassic reservoirs proven in offset wells
- Proven oil source in Jurassic
and gas source in Carboniferous on-block
- Water depth 250m
- Achill and Liffey prospects
with significant upside
FEL 1/06
- Boyne Prospect is a large
tilted fault block clearly defined on 3D seismic data, with a dual target (Jurassic and Triassic) and total P50 reserves of 80 mmbbls oil (Serica estimate)
11
- Triassic reservoirs sourced by
Carboniferous coals, via windows in Permian halite
- Concept proven by the Corrib
Field 40 kms to north
- Lower Jurassic reservoirs sourced
by up-dip oil migration from source kitchen
