Oil and Gas Resource Plays, USA

Basins Gas Plays Oil Plays

Resource plays, or “shale plays”, are very active in the USA. Major deals have taken place in which acreage was acquired at low cost and later sold at >10 – 20 times initial cost per acre. Success in shale gas now redirecting activity to shale oil

OIL SHALE OBJECTIVES

20

Working with our petrophysical technology partner, identify areas with appropriate resource play characteristics Focus on historic producing areas that are relatively inactive and where the source rocks are oil-prone, thick, rich and at appropriate drilling depths (<7000 feet) Utilise existing well log data and geological data to recognize and quantify the potential of source rocks as resource play targets Determine the core area of the new play and acquire key acreage at low royalty level and cost per acre Drill test wells to calibrate logs to geology and for “proof of concept” Expand acreage position to significant position that is attractive to a large E&P (35 – 700 MMboe) Farm-out or sell all or a portion of the acreage to a large E&P with the financial capacity and drilling technology capability to fully exploit the play Receive cash and/or retain carried interest and/or ORRI and/or retain WI
