Transformational Hibiscus Updip Discovery

Substantial Oil Discovery in Dussafu

  • Hibiscus Updip Well (DHIMB-1)
    • Gamba discovery with excellent reservoir properties
    • Main wellbore found 33 m oil column with 21 m of net pay
    • Sidetrack (DHIBM-1ST1) drilled 1.1 km to the northwest found 33 m oil column with 26 m of net pay
    • Oil water contact at the same level confirms continuity of the oil deposit
    • Broad flat structure with low relief
    • Gross 2P reserves of 45.4 million barrels of oil (vs pre-drill 12)
  • Plans for development
    • Phase 3 redefined to include Hibiscus oil
  • Upside
    • Discovery de-risks other prospects in Hibiscus area
    • Exploration drilling to continue after current development drilling on Tortue

Slide 13 Q3 Results

& Hibiscus Updip

Phase 3 (now called Ruche Phase 1)

Hibiscus has materially improved the next phases of Dussafu

  • Ruche and Hibiscus to bring gross production capacity to above current FPSO nameplate capacity of 40,000 bopd*
    • Ruche is the second development hub with Phase 3 FID expected Q4 2019 (Panoro approved)
    • First oil expected end 2021
  • Wellhead platform to be tied back 19 km to BW Adolo FPSO for processing
  • 6 Gamba wells initially
  • \$445 million gross capex*
  • Overall opex/barrel to reduce to ca \$10 excluding royalties*
  • Subsequent development to maintain plateau at or above nameplate capacity, with up to 7 new wells

Significant Exploration Potential in the Dussafu Block

  • 9 current exploration prospects = 160 mmbbls*
    • Some both Gamba and Dentale
  • Newly re-processed seismic data available in December 2019
    • Seismic acquired in 2013 by Panoro
    • Processed 2014
    • Re-processing is undertaken to improve resolution across entire EEA
  • New data will be used to validate existing portfolio and identify new prospects
  • Hibiscus Updip analogues a particular focus
    • Hibiscus Updip proved a new Gamba structural model (low relief, broad structure)
  • New processing will better define Dentale prospectivity

Q3 Results

TPS Well Activities and SMW-1

Enhancing TPS Production Levels

The opportunity to bring assets back to historical levels

OIL PRODUCTION ALL TPS FIELDS, bopd

ACTIVITY SUITE

Enhancing production levels:

  • New wells into nearby discoveries
  • Sidetracks to undrained reservoirs or blocks
  • Recompletions on new reservoir intervals
  • Optimisation of production system

Maintaining existing production:

  • Well workovers for ESP/integrity management
  • Optimisation of ESP pump performance

Tunisia: Salloum West Well (SMW-1)

Significant progress being made towards well spud

  • Panoro has now formalised the drilling plans for SMW-1 including the well planning, location and regulatory approvals for drilling
  • The Environmental Impact Assessment has now been approved by the ANPE and the well location by ETAP
  • Rig contract now signed with CTF for Rig-06
  • Piling operations in progress on the well site
  • Anticipated spud during Q1 2020
  • SMW-1 to be drilled as a deviated well from onshore location
  • Targeting fault compartment updip from the SAM-1 discovery well
    • British Gas drilled SAM-1 in 1991
    • Oil discovery, short test at 1800 bopd
  • In success case well can tie in to Rhemoura production facility, part of the TPS assets
  • Mid case 5 million barrels (Panoro internal estimate)
  • CTF Rig 6, contract signed, mobilisation to Sfax site underway Remaining capex ~\$8 million net to Panoro (funded from \$10 mm held as deposit)

Exploration Strategy

Results driven strategy – near term development follow up

  • In addition to substantial exploration in existing Gabon and Tunisia portfolio, Panoro is evaluating opportunities to expand its exposure to early stage opportunities
  • Panoro have track record of success in pre-salt in South Gabon
  • Look to repeat exploration driven success at Dussafu by expanding footprint in Atlantic margin
  • Opportunities identified for modest stakes, partnering with reputable oil companies in region
  • We expect these opportunities to mature into low risk exploration drilling with development follow on

Outlook

High levels of operational activity for next 12 months and beyond

Production enhancements in Tunisia

Q3 Results

2-4 exploration wells, Dussafu and Salloum West

Focus on managing an ethical and safety conscious company

4 development wells at Tortue underway

Continued focus on strategy and business development
