Exploration & Production Limited (Nigeria) (“EEPLN”)

  • ShoreCan controls EEPLN through 3 seats on a 5 member Board of Directors
  • Pre acquisition the Essar Group has invested c.US$62.5m in EEPLN to date

OPL 226 is a multiplay potential and could generate c.60,000 bpd

  • OPL 226 is located 50km offshore in the central delta area in 160 feet of average water depth
  • Five wells have been drilled with 3 oil and gas discoveries and 2 gas discoveries
  • OPL 226 surrounds OML 83 hosting the Anyala Field which is predominantly gas with some

independent oil zones at the crest of a large anticlinal structure

  • The block has a large historic 2D seismic data base as well as two 3D seismic surveys acquired

in 1999 and 2012/2013, the later acquired by EEPLN and reprocessed by ShoreCan

Essar Nigeria OPL 226 (COPL net 40%)

  • ShoreCan (COPL) Technical Team oversee and manage the forward operations
  • Nigerian regulations require local involvement in front line operations.

Numerous well managed firms offer such services

  • ShoreCan has presented the regulator, NNPC/NAPIMS, a provisional work program

and budget

  • The basis of the work program is to drill an appraisal well to the 2001 NOA-1 oil

discovery operated by NEXEN

  • NOA-1 hosts the 16 mmbbls of 2C resources as determined by NI 51-101

compliant NSAI report

  • Location of the appraisal well will be up structure of the NOA-1 well on the SE

plunging limb of the Anyala Anticline

  • ShoreCan has proposed to NNPC/NAPIMS that the well be utilized as an Early

Production Scheme under their policy to allow indigenous firms early cash flow before full development. This would be the first phase of a contemplated 60,000 bbl/d development in the NOA area

  • The balance of the Block holds significant exploration upside

Geology

  • A large growth fault-controlled structural complex
  • Potential of hydrocarbons in multiple zones
  • Petroleum trap features along the rollover

anticlines and extensive “foot wall traps” proven by the Noa-1 discovery

  • Several appraisal/development wells to the proven

Anyala anticline already identified Detailed Technical Work

  • Used Extended Elastic Impedance (EEI)technology

and Joint Impedance – Facies Inversion (Ji-Fi)

  • More advanced than traditional AVO

technology

  • Allows different aspects of the rock, whether

this be rock type (lithology), porosity, fluid content, saturation to be seen

  • Work has demonstrated that the block holds a

number of structural and stratigraphic features that tie in with EEI and Ji-Fi anomalies associated with “sand” lithology, and with “oil” fluid content ¹Netherland Sewell & Associates, Inc , March 31, 2017

Barrel of oil equivalent ("BOE") amounts may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A BOE conversion ratio has been calculated using a conversion rate of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel. This conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. In this presentation, the Company has referred to OOIP, meaning original oil in place and original gas in place, respectively, which are hereinafter collectively called "discovered petroleum initially-in-place". Discovered petroleum initially-in-place is the quantity of petroleum that is estimated, as of a given date, to be contained in known accumulations prior to production. The recoverable portion of discovered petroleum-in-place includes production, reserves and contingent resources; the remainder is unrecoverable. A recovery project cannot be defined for these volumes of discovered petroleum initially-in-place at this time. There is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the resources.
