MENA Strategy  Focus on highly productive, underexplored areas which hold potential for large oil discoveries ( > 100 MMbo)  Focus on investments in projects at the appraisal and development stages of the upstream lifecycle that will generate the best risk-adjusted returns  Target de-risked projects at the discovery or early production stages to minimise subsurface risk and deliver significant upside through the application of new technology, low overheads, and low cost

  • perations

 Acquire ‘distressed’ assets in the MENA region during the current political climate which prohibits much larger companies from operating, and where our network of contacts and relationships can advance projects  Acquire ‘distressed’ assets at low cost in the current low oil price environment through leveraging equity

The Company has sought opportunities outside of the U.S. where it can acquire producing oil reserves or near development reserves, with associated high potential exploration in large lease areas. In 2014, the Company focussed on opportunities in the MENA region, and acquired a 29.75% interest in Block 7, Yemen, which held the Al Meashar oil discovery made in 2010.

The Company’s entry into MENA provides the opportunity to acquire large onshore leases with oil reserves/resources and holding high potential exploration targets that have the potential to substantially increase the value of Petsec Energy.  Approximately 54% of the worlds proven crude oil reserves, at the end of 2013 are located in the Middle East

(Source: OPEC Annual Statistical Bulletin 2014)

 There are a large number of acquisition opportunities in the region which hold the potential to substantially increase the value of Petsec Energy.  Yemen provides very favorable contractor terms in comparison to other countries in the region.

Ouiski Bayou – Onshore Louisiana

 Located in Terrebonne Parish, onshore Louisiana USA  Petsec has a 12.5% non-operating working interest in this prospect  The prospect is a fault wedge separated across a saddle from production in the Miocene Cris I sands, locally called the “KK and LL sands”. The prospect is defined by 3D seismic data  The McCollum #1 well will be drilled as a directional well to a total depth of 15,933’ MD / 15,800’ TVD.  The drill site is located on the western portion of the Mississippi Delta in an area called the Houma Embayment. The area is very low lying and marshy but is very prolific for oil and gas production.  Petsec net exploration exposure is ~ US$1.2 MM  The well is expected to spud in late Q3 or Q4 2015

Block 7 (Al Barqa Permit), Yemen – Al Meashar Oil Field – Production Test

 The Oil Search JV has invested over US$110 MM in Block 7 since 2007 with the drilling of three exploration wells (all intersected oil) and the acquisition of 277km2 of 3D seismic data.  The licence includes the Al Meashar oil discovery of 2010 (target 11 MMbo gross, 7 MMbo net @ 63.75%) that extends the productive Kuhlan-Basement play production in the adjacent S2 Habban Oil Field (OMV – discovered 2005, gross 2P reserves 170 MMbo) 14km to the West.  In late 2015 propose to undertake an Extended Well Test (EWT) at the Al Meashar-2 well for a 3 to 9 month period. Should the prior test rates be confirmed and commercial rates be demonstrated, a declaration of commerciality could be made and an application for a Development Licence

  • ver the prospective southern quarter of the licence.

 A Development Licence would secure tenure for the next 20 years.

Block 7 (Al Barqa): Al Meashar Oil Field – Appraisal & Development

 A significant oil column in excess of 800m has been demonstrated by the Al Meashar wells, consistent with OMV’s Habban Oil Field oil column of 945m, located 14km to the West  The Al Meashar discovery contains the same reservoir sequence of Kuhlan Sandstone overlying fractured Basement currently producing in excess of 20,000 BOPD in the Habban Oil Field where EUR 2P reserves are 170 MMbo  Growth of reserves at the Habban Field strongly indicate significant resource increases can be anticipated at Al Meashar above the target of 11 MMbo gross, should appraisal drilling demonstrate field extends beyond the tested fault block, beyond the lowest closing contour , and extends to the lowest known oil (“ oil down to “) – oil shows extend 200m below structural closure.

Block 7 (Al Barqa) – Prospectivity

 The block is regarded as one of the most prospective blocks in Yemen based on a world class petroleum system and the remaining material prospectivity  To date 8 seismically (3D and 2D) defined prospects and leads have been identified including three large tilted basement fault blocks potentially containing significant volumes of hydrocarbons  Mapped target sizes for these prospects / leads: range from 2 – 900 MMbo  The prospects have primary objectives in the Khulan- Basement reservoirs productive in Al Meashar and the adjacent licences.  Significant potential is also recognised in Cretaceous sands of the Lam and Meem formations which have had extensive shows in the wells drilled in Block 7 and which have tested and flowed over 1000 BOPD in the neighbouring Habban Field (14km West of Al Meashar

  • il field) in Block S2

 Multiple stacked reservoir potential has been demonstrated in adjacent blocks to the southwest, in Block 4 as well as the Habban Oil Field

Yemen – Further Opportunities

 First commercial discovery made in 1984 in the Marib-Shabwa Basin by Hunt Oil. More than 2 billion BOE have been discovered in the Marib-Shabwa Basin to date.  Canadian Occidental (now Canadian Nexen) major discovery in the Say’un– Masilah Basin in 1991. More than 1.5 billion BOE have been discovered in the Say’un-Masilah Basin to date.  Yemen discovered reserves 5.3 billion BOEs (since 1984) of which 2.2 billion BOEs remain to be produced.  Commercial success rates in past 30 years of exploration wells in the order of 30%  There are a number of projects available in Yemen that have the potential to deliver significant upside through the application of new technology, and low cost

  • perations

 ‘Distressed’ assets are available in the current low oil price environment and the current political climate which restricts larger companies from operating.
