Potential in Existing and Underexplored

Basins

• Access opportunities early in the exploration

and development value chain

• Development first – exploitation based value

creation, cash flow generation

• Exploration second – higher risk, higher return,

greater impact

• Area of Focus – Africa

• Many under-explored basins with attractive fiscal

terms, wide range of deal sizes, mature areas

becoming non-core for existing players

• Political risks out-weighed by the scale of the

reward

Strategic Partnership – Akepo Project

• Exile enters License as technical partner, April 2007

• Completed sub-surface reviews, EIA, site survey and re-entry engineering work for Akepo-1st

• Partnership between Sogenal (Operator), Oando and Exile:

• Completed further engineering site survey for rig move

• Completed engineering design for re-entry program on Akepo-1st using Nigerian project management company (Havilah)

• Contracted Noble Lloyd Noble rig, started work early December 2009

• Re-entered well and drill stem tested three zones:

• Lowermost D6 sand tested at 1,200 barrels of 43 degree API oil per day through a 20/64 inch choke, low Gas/Oil ratio (GOR).

• D1 sand tested at 1,170 barrels oil per day of 23 degree API oil through a 20/64 inch choke with low GOR, and the

• C1 sand tested at 570 barrels oil per day of 20 API oil through 20/64 inch choke with low GOR.

Akepo-1st Wellhead

Progress at Akepo Continues

• Akepo-1st completed as a two string multiple completion

• Gravel packs to control sand production, produce on two strings from two of the three zones (the third zone selective on one of the strings)

• Akepo-1st was successfully flow tested from the D6 sand at 1,789 barrels oil per day with good flowing wellhead pressures

• Engineering reviews of the test data suggest that the well can produce at stable rates between 2,500 and 3,000 barrels oil per day

• This would imply 200 to 240 barrels oil per day net to Exile (pre-tax and production costs) during the cost recovery phase

previous exploration campaign (Placid and

Mobil, 1980’s)

• Targeting review of existing data and cost

effective geochemical surveys to establish

potential for oil and gas
