Turonian Gas Condensate Field

Concept Evaluation Stage

  • AGR TRACS Stand-alone Gas Development Concept Example1 (JV will be evaluating this development concept as well as other alternatives)
  • Turonian Gas is rich in valuable liquids
  • AGR TRACS concept includes:
    • Subsea wells tied back via a subsea production manifold, 30km multiphase pipeline to shore, onshore gas treatment plant.
    • Export dry gas to nearby tie-in to WAGP, and truck exportation of Condensate and LPG
  • Initial commercial studies underway
  • Opportunities to supply Nigerian domestic market, including new power projects in Lagos State
  • Supply gas to under-utilised WAGP system and supply gas to underpin expansion of Ghana power plants
  • Other export opportunities under review
  • Significant interest from potential gas buyers

Aje New 3D Seismic

  • OML 113 Prospectivity
  • 7 leads in post-rift middle cretaceous section have been identified from existing seismic data
  • At least further 2 leads have been identified in synrift
  • Ogo 2013 Discovery in OPL 310
  • Ogo-1 and Ogo-1ST were drilled on OPL 310 in 2013. Discovery reported to have P50 resources of 774 mmboe in Turonian – Cenomanian and syn-rift
  • OPL 310 license holder mapping shows spill point at Upper Cenomanian level in Ogo extends into OML 113
  • In order to unitise any OML 113 reserves in Ogo a delineation well would be required in OML 113
  • New 3D seismic data status
  • In late 2013, 1000km2 of 3D acquired in conjunction with OPL 310 license holders
  • Depth processing over both licenses is ongoing and estimated to complete by early Q2 2015.
  • Interpretation of new 3D seismic data will follow in 2015 with aim to quantify prospectivity in OML 113

Dussafu

Large exploration and development block with multiple discoveries and prospects

Dussafu (Gabon)

Project Status

  • 2,775km2 license in Southern Gabon pre-salt fairway
  • Total of five pre-salt discoveries (4 oil, 1 gas) with upside/appraisal potential
  • Panoro's oil discoveries in Ruche (2011) and Tortue (2013) have demonstrated a step change in the success rate of identifying oil-bearing structures
  • Gaffney Cline reports received demonstrates commerciality of the discoveries with Economic Gross 2C Resources of 33.4MMbbl
  • Important milestones achieved in 2014 with Declaration of Commerciality and award of Exclusive Exploitation Authorisation
  • Field Development Plan has been approved by the Government of Gabon
  • Following the 2013 outboard 3D seismic the block is now fully covered by 3D seismic data.
  • Outboard 3D seismic processing completed and interpretation on-going

Dussafu – Exclusive Exploitation Authorisation (EEA)

  • EEA awarded 17th July 2014
  • Area of 850.5 km2
  • Dussafu JV can exploit hydrocarbon resources in EEA area for up to 20 years
  • Detailed development and production program approved (FDP)
  • Single FPSO with tiebacks
  • Central Ruche location for FPSO
  • Multiple horizontal and vertical wells into four fields
  • Subsea tiebacks
  • EEA area also captures prospective resources in satellite structures
  • Water depth over area of Ruche A, B and C as well as main prospects is flat around 120m

Dussafu Exploration Potential

  • 3D seismic over whole license
  • Gamba has historically been the main exploration target in pre-salt Gabon with world class oil fields – present over whole license
  • Dentale has become an additional major contributor to value in Dussafu
  • Moubenga Dentale discovery (Ruche C) is part of FDP, and tested at 3700bopd. Tortue Dentale Sand 6, reservoir has very good reservoir quality. Other Tortue sands were also oil bearing and Ruche also found oil in Dentale.
  • New 3D seismic outboard of Ruche and Tortue gives significant encouragement for large Gamba and Dentale structures
  • Thickened Dentale section apparent
  • Structure may be fold related rather than diaper induced
  • EEA area includes several of these large prospects JV now has exploitation rights to these for up to 20 years
  • Additional prospects may be present outside EEA in outboard part of license

Example seismic data from new 3D in EEA area

  • Improved Base of Salt reflection
  • Improved imaging of faulting and structure in Dentale section
  • Improved mobile shale
  • Evidence of rotated fault block beneath mobile shale
  • Numerous low risk nearfield prospects mapped
  • Five large outboard prospects mapped
  • Thick Dentale section – multiple stacked resevoirs possible

Depth Maps within EEA area

Gamba Level Depth mapping

Small 10-15MMbbl low risk prospects within short tie-back distance to Ruche field

Dentale Level Depth mapping

Several Large structures may contain >100MMbbls recoverable in multiple zones, within short tie back distance to Ruche

Prospective Resources in EEA area (Panoro mid case)

Conclusions from Seismic

  • Panoro has conducted its own internal review of the seismic data
  • Preliminary work so far shows very encouraging exploration potential
  • 11 robust structures mapped on new data, all within tie back distance to proposed cluster development
  • Panoro has identified Low–mid–high gross unrisked prospective resources of 251- 551-1011 MMbbls within the EEA area
  • Low-mid-high risked prospective resources of 86-183-329 MMbbls, or 29-61-110 MMbbls net to Panoro
  • Oil potential at multiple levels in each prospect, Gamba and multiple stacked sands in Dentale
  • Prospectivity outside of the EEA area has not been quantified yet by Panoro
  • Further work remains to be completed to certify these prospective resources and mature exploration prospects into drillable targets
  • Exploration success would have a material impact on development scope

Potential Impact of exploration success on Dussafu

2016 Exploration drilling campaign example with one successful low case discovery

  • Estimate of well cost circa \$25MM (gross) dry hole cost
  • Ruche cluster economics NPV(10) currently around \$270MM, i.e. \$90MM net to PEN (at \$70/bbl oil price)
  • A Dentale prospect has potential to add over 50MMbbls to existing development (conservative case)
  • Gross peak production would increase from 25,000 bb/d to over 50,000 bbl/d
  • Project economics significantly improved benefitting from sunk costs and PSC cost recovery terms
  • Adding 50MMbbl could add >\$480MM NPV(10) to the project, i.e. \$160MM net to PEN (at \$70/bbl oil price)

Dussafu & Aje Field Development: Cash Flows

Project Net Cash Flows at \$70/Bbl and \$90/Bbl from Oil Development Projects

Based on Development of the Aje Cenomanian Oil and Indicative Dussafu Cluster Development FID in Q1 2016

Source: OML 113 and Dussafu Joint Venture Financial Models

Panoro share of Rubicon FPSO cash backed guarantee to be paid in 2015 and released in 2018 (\$4MM net) not included in model Dussafu cash flows should be treated as indicative due to uncertainty surrounding Harvest sale and change of Operator

Outlook

  • Aje
  • Development remains on track with first oil targeted for December 2015
  • First Oil is fully funded from cash on hand. Financing will be considered as the development progresses
  • New OML113 processed seismic on schedule for early Q2 delivery
  • Dussafu
  • Exciting near field prospectivity emerging from interpretation of new Seismic,
  • Announced process by Harvest may have an impact on the work program and development timing
