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

Page 11: US-Albania Investment Forum

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)

Page 12: US-Albania Investment Forum

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

Page 13: US-Albania Investment Forum

Dumre 7 did not quite get deep enough in 1995 but this OMV well provides very valuable information to Sky Petroleum

Page 14: US-Albania Investment Forum

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
