Operations Planning 20111
• Sky engaged Field Development/Drilling Team in August 2011
• 10 prospects / areas of interest in Albania
• Drilling / Work-over feasibility on the first 3 areas is complete
– Palokastra (150m oil shows from OMV 2003)
– Kanina (163m oil leg tested by OMV in 2005)
– Dumre (1995 OMV existing well needs deepening)
• Detailed engineering planning commenced September 2011
• Drilling Contractor and Service Company negotiations in progress to secure equipment and services
• Operations planned to commence in 2012
Palokastra-1 (June 2003 EOWR)
• Status - P&A with150m of oil shows in cretaceous
• Porosity <3% with max 7-8% (2,156-2,598mmd) …“thin micro-fractures cemented with calcite”… (OMV-End of well Report)
• Oil most likely migrated “up-dip” (G&G)
• TD 2,605m ( 8,547ft ) fairly shallow well
• 9-5/8” casing at 2,107m leaves 489m of 8-1/2” open hole available for extended reach side-tracks if required
• Several possibilities to produce oil from nearby traps (see next page)
• Oil shows in 492 ft of rock formation confirm hydrocarbons present
• Picari prospect <7km away is also interesting to G&G for 2,500-2,800m well (fairly shallow)

Initial engineering indicates all three wells are drillable. Torque & Drag + Hydraulics undertaken.
Detailed optimization may result in new wells rather than sidetracks
A more detailed Engineering proposal will be undertaken when various feasibility studies have been completed to maximize investor ROI/ROCE
Engineering Considerations
Pathfinder (a Schlumberger Company) commenced theoretical planning for extended reach sidetracks (the example below is a study on what is possible so that limitations are defined – it is not a planned well – but
shows that torque / drag / pressures would allow for nearby cretaceous targets to be drilled)
Dumre 7 (1995 OMV End of Well Report)
• Status – P&A
• Well requires deepening (OMV ran out of casing sizes and abandoned well when they lost BHA “fish” in hole)
• VSP run at 6,015m showed “potential seismic reflector at 6,250m” (OMV)
• Sidetrack/Deepening possible
• Depth of Top of carbonates needs confirmation by G&G
• TDS Rig & Oil Based Mud required and confirmed available for 2012
• Flysch formation has been successfully drilled since 1995 so drilling risks are known and contingency plans available (i.e. failures correctable in same well)
• Deepening for G&G information in slim-hole is perfectly feasible
Dumre 7 did not quite get deep enough in 1995 but this OMV well provides very valuable information to Sky Petroleum
Kanina 1 & 1a (from 2005 OMV End of Well Report)
• Testing and evaluation by OMV seems incomplete – several unforeseen equipment & other failures
• With 262m of fractured hole open when tested water
ingress was almost certain with co-mingled zones
• Oil is in the well but 2005 test had several complications
• The coring runs showed oil is present and the rock has
open fractures
• The MDT tool may not have been placed properly or had
enough volume flow to get to the oil past the damaged
zone
• Possible side-track below 4,655m to evaluate fractures
• Testing individual zones will show oil bearing areas
• Good shows with core one below where Tam Packer is
set before testing
• Top of fill above packer is 4,917m leaving ~262m 5-7/8”
open hole for testing / sidetracks (more if pkr removed)
• Sidetrack and test once or twice on the way down (may
be more than one Oil-Water-Contact) then set 4-1/2”
liner and cement it (adding cemnet or equivalent) or use
expandable casing packer. Then perforate and test on
the way up again.
Further prospects are under evaluation
• Study of more than 10 Sky Petroleum prospects is in progress during Sept – Nov 2011
• Go-ahead of operations in this area of Europe means that operations are more cost-effective than before
• Equipment and Technology availability becoming much easier to integrate into this area of Europe
• Many major Service Companies and Equipment Types are available
