Moselle - Conventional NSAI Estimate

  • Total of 19 conventional prospects and leads mapped

  • Located within 4 main reservoir units in Triassic and Upper Carboniferous Section Mainly 4 way dip closed structural traps

  • Three multi-horizon prospect groups identified – each can be investigated with one well

  • NSAI mean unrisked g ross undiscovered in- p lace estimate - 2.12 Bbbls or 2.18 Tcf Two independent volumetric outcomes prepared (ie. 100% oil, or 100% gas) NSAI give equal likelihood to either oil charge or gas charge

Moselle – Conventional Forward Programme

  • Prospects are considered ‘drill ready’ -

  • Three wells could investigate + 70% of the Mean in - place oil/gas volume

Drilling costs modest for onshore, relatively shallow targets

  • 2D seismic covers onl y ~35% of the Permit -

  • Prospectivity in balance of Permit still to be determined New seismic could elevate existing leads to prospect status

  • Exploration programme for 2012

Triassic and Top Carboniferous Prospects Map

Commence planning, procurement and permitting activities for up to 3 well campaign

Drilling estimated in 2H, 2012*

Target high graded prospects - including multi-horizon Nancy South Group (Mean in-place 1.2BBbls or 1.2Tcf)

Investigating possible aerial grav/mag survey and ac q uisition of additional 2D seismic

  • Identify partners to assist with exploration programme – Have commenced discussions with industry participants

Foug Prospect - seismic cross-sections and top structure map

* Subject to rig and equipment availability and receipt of final permitting approvals

Moselle – Unconventional NSAI Estimate

  • Significant total in-place undiscovered hydrocarbon estimate provided by NSAI

  • 164.7 BBbls of oil and 649.7 Tcf of gas (P50, unrisked)

  • Small quantities of gas have already been produced to surface from the Carboniferous Section from two unstimulated wells in the area

  • Prior mini-fracs undertaken b y ConocoPhilli p s of three zones in Saulc y well

Moselle – Unconventional Forward Programme

  • Likelihood of substantial liquids rich gas adds to t h e eco n o mi cs o f t h e p l ay

  • Additional data required to prove up unconventional play -

  • Fluid types, net to gross, pressure, fracture orientation, rock mechanics etc

  • Cannot currently fracture stimulate Carboniferous –

  • Can still drill , log , core , test , assay samples

  • • Investigate Carboniferous through pilot hole drilling of conventional targets

France Regulatory Position

  • July 2011 French Parliament passed law which now prohibits “hydraulic fracture st im u l at i o n o f w e ll s f o ll o win g d rillin g

  • Legislation was strongly debated and only narrowly adopted

  • National Commission established to consider advances in fracing practices and technolo and to make recommendations to the Government and Parliament gy

  • Unclear as to timeframe as to when this position will change

  • Possible developments to promote change include –

- Technology

‘Clean Stim’ frac fluids, non-toxic

‘GasFracs’ using NGL’s, not water

‘Osorb’ silica filtration, breakthrough tech Pulse drilling technologies

100% recycling & reuse of produced frac water

- Practice

Fracing Best Practice Guidelines EU Shale Guidelines – 2Q, 2012 DOE Fracing Study – 2012 Quebec Fracing Study – 2012 Shale gas success in Eastern Europe

  • France highly dependent on imported hydrocarbonscostly , security of supply?

Moselle Investment Highlights

  • Land holding is key - world scale acreage position

  • � Lar g est net acrea g e position of an y compan y in Paris Basin

  • Acreage Position � 100% ownership and operatorship - likely to be attractive to a major � Paris Basin has significant resource prospectivity among European basins � Independent assessment of in-place volumes attained

  • Resource � Significant conventional and unconventional hydrocarbons in place � Likelihood of substantial liquids associated with gas in unconventional play � Europe requires a cheap, abundant, domestically produced energy source

  • Market � Attractive fiscal terms and high gas prices historically � Rocks won’t chan g e while we await softenin g in French p olic y p osition � Clear direction focused on proving up potential through drilling

  • Forward Programme � Drill ready prospect – large multi-horizon targets, relatively shallow drilling � Large equity position provides flexibility when it comes to funding

Significant currently unrecognised value in Moselle portfolio of conventional prospects to be demonstrated through drilling activity expected in 2H, 2012

- Gulf of Mexico Shallow Shelf

  • High Island (HIA-268, 30% WI, non-operated)

  • In 2011 field produced 120mmscf of gas and 21 600 Bbls, of oil

  • Currently producing at approx 60 Bbls/d condensate with minor amounts of gas (100% project)

  • Workover of both wells to enable production from shallower horizons (~5-8 mmscf/d)

  • Awaiting sufficient decline in production to achieve approval of regulator to workovers

  • Market interest for sale following completion of workovers

  • Pompano (Brazos 446-L, 25% WI, non-operated)

  • In 2011 field produced 1,054 mmscf of gas and 954 Bbbls of oil

  • Both wells sanded up and ceased production in late Aug 2011

  • Elixir elected not to participate in ultimately unsuccessful workovers on the wells

  • Wells now cyclically produced on a monthly basis to maintain leases

  • Elixir will not participate further in the project and will exit in due course

Summary

France

  • All technical and commercial worksco p es com p lete , with com p ellin g results

  • Netherland Sewell have provided independent in-place volumetric certification

  • Planning underway for drilling campaign and partner discussions ongoing

GOM

  • Modest production continuing at High Island

  • Workover wells in due course, then monetise interest

  • Exit Pompano in due course

North Sea

  • Tiger farmout has not completed – remarketing to industry

  • Block 30/25 – continuing to de-risk prospects

  • Awaiting award of Inner Moray Firth licence

  • Work out of existing North Sea licence interests over time

Focus for 2012 is on Moselle which has significant, unrecognised potential
