Operational Review

Dussafu

Large exploration license with multiple discoveries and prospects

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 the success in identifying oil-bearing structures
  • Gaffney Cline reports received demonstrates commerciality of the discoveries with Economic Gross 2C Resources of 33.4MMbbl
  • Discussions have now commenced with Government of Gabon for Declaration of Commerciality and Exclusive Exploitation area
  • Reprocessed data over 335km2 covering Ruche and Tortue demonstrates improved imaging and greater confidence in fields
  • Outboard 3D processing continuing

Gaffney Cline Report Summary

  • Final GCA report received on March 21st 2014
  • The cash flows presented in the GCA report supports commerciality of the discoveries
  • Gaffney Clines volumes were 36.3MMbbl 2C technically recoverable volumes and 33.4MMbbl 2C commercially recoverable volumes using an economic cut-off.

Contractor Cash flows (undiscounted at \$108/bbl)

  • 1C = \$195MM (\$65 MM net)
  • 2C = \$867MM (\$289 MM net)
  • 3C = \$2361MM (\$787 MM net)

Inferred NPV 10 of cash flows including a 1yr start-up delay

  • 1C = \$179MM (\$59 MM net)
  • 2C = \$583MM (\$194 MM net)
  • 3C = \$1293 MM (\$431 MM net)

Dussafu – Progress of Field Development Activities

  • Declaration of Commerciality (DoC)
  • Process underway for issuance of DoC
  • Once DoC is made the JV has two months to apply for Exclusive Exploitation Authorization (EEA) defines the area for exploitation
  • Three months after EEA is granted the JV must submit a detailed development and production program
  • The production must start within 4 years of the grant of the EEA

Material Dussafu Exploration potential

  • 1,130km2 outboard 3-D acquired in Q4 2013
  • Key to de-risking substantial outboard leads
  • Processing underway with preliminary seismic products expected in Q2, final products expected in H2
  • Gabonese License round has attracted interest from the majors, demonstrating the attractiveness of this pre-salt play

Dussafu Outboard Leads

Outboard 3D seismic

  • 3D is targeting unrisked prospective resources of around 1billion bbl (gross) as well as overshooting Ruche and Tortue
  • Initial processing results look promising
  • Significantly improved images over Ruche and Tortue – providing more confidence in the established resources
  • Evidence of larger fold related structures in outboard compared to smaller shale-diapir induced structures in inboard region (such as Ruche and Tortue)
  • Final Pre Stack Time Migration (PSTM) to be delivered by end of Q2
  • Final Pre Stack Depth Migration (PSDM) to be delivered by end of Q3 – will be the final database for New Prospect Inventory

Aje

Near term development with exploration upsides

Project Status

  • Partners are focused on 2015 oil production
  • Early 2 well oil project, agreed by all license partners
  • FDP approval received end March
  • Ongoing discussions with FPSO providers, subsea flowline manufacturers and other key equipment providers
  • Rig being considered for Q1 2015 drilling
  • Cenomanian first oil expected in Q4 2015
  • Gas condensate project will follow in next phase
  • OML113 3D seismic acquisition by Afren in conjunction with OPL310 has been completed

Panoro : 16.255% paying interest, 6.502% working interest. Panoro is entitled to 12.2% of the revenue stream from Aje field Operator: Yinka Folawiyo Petroleum Other partners: NewAge, FHN (Afren),EER, Jacka Resources

Aje Cenomanian Oilfield Development Concept

Aje Field Appraisal and Development Scheme

Exciting exploration potential from the new syn-rift play Ogo-1 Discovery and Syn Rift Potential

Syn Rift Potential in Aje Insights into Ogo Discovery in OPL 310

OML 113 Seismic acquisition completed

  • Quality of data is improved compared to existing 3D
  • Processing due to start imminently
  • Fast Track PSTM due for delivery mid 2014 with PSDM in 2H 2014
  • Data will be used to mature prospect inventory in OML 113
  • Interpretation work by Afren in tandem with OPL 310
  • Both Upper Cretaceous and Syn-rift prospectivity expected
  • Higher resolution data will be used in phase 2 Aje drilling for step-outs after Aje-4 re-entry and Aje-5 development wells

Panoro Sum of the Parts Valuation

Panoro is currently trading below the P90 / low case value of its assets and its cash position

Note:

Aje Cenomanian Oil P90 & P50 values are based on the Aje JV's approved FDP's cases, oil price assumption of \$100/bbl with 2.5% annual escalation. The Aje P10 upside (which assumes a 5-welll case) and P50 Cenomanian Oil & Turonian gas condensate development based on TRACS as of 31st December 2013 - oil price assumption of \$100/bbl with 2.5% annual escalation. Dussafu NAVs have been computed based on Dussafu cashflows which assume that the Tullow JV (Tulip) will exercise its back-in right of 10% (i.e. Panoro's Working Interest is reduced from 33.3% to 30%), and are based on GCA's unrisked contractor cash flows as of 31st December 2013 which assume a flat oil price of \$108/bbl; given management's current estimate of first oil these on GCA cash flows have been delayed by one year and discounted accordingly. NAV excludes potential value of Manati earn-out which at current exchange rates is estimated to be worth approx. \$3.2m on an NPV(10) basis; in the event that the BRL / USD exchange rate appreciates to 2.0 the NPV(10) of the earn-out rises to approx. \$9m

Corporate Sales Process

  • Sales process fully launced after closing of the Manati transaction
  • Progressing according to plan
  • The Company will announce results after completing the process

Outlook

  • Restructuring according to plan
  • Significant reduction in costs
  • Ongoing exit from Brazil
  • Company debt free with two high quality assets
  • Company well positioned
  • Aje field
  • Final Investment Decision (FID) expected in Q3
  • Processed seismic by year end
  • Dussafu
  • Declaration of Commerciality of Dussafu and finalizing field development plan
  • Processed seismic by Q3
  • Sales process
  • The Company will announce results after completing the process
