Evaluation work program

  • Submitted to Government early May

  • 3 year evaluation period

  • 3 firm wells commencing Q4 2015

  • Initial evaluation focused on SNE discovery

  • First 2 of 3 wells to be appraisal wells

  • Plan to explore shelf prospectivity and tie back opportunities

  • Third firm exploration well

  • In success case, drilling will continue in 2016/7

  • Ocean Rig Athena selected

  • EIA’s finalised

  • Development concepts and exploitation plan

  • Economic evaluation

SNE Field appraisal drilling

  • Aimed at declaration of commerciality (DOC)

  • Principal objective to prove minimum economic field size (MEFS)

  • Operator MEFS 200mmbbls

  • 1C resource 150mmbbls, 2C resource 330mmbbls*: low risk appraisal

  • At least one of the two wells will be flow tested

  • Coring of the well/s

  • Each well approx 35 days

Exploration drilling

  • Principal aim to build shelf resource

  • 3 likely target prospects

  • Bellatrix

  • Sirius

  • Soleil

  • Awaiting reprocessed seismic data

  • Final drill location Q3

  • Probability of geological success around 50%

29

Seismic for 2015

  • new

  • Approx 2000km[2 ] seismic

  • Commencing Q3

  • Aim to close eastern boundaries of prospects and leads

  • Potential to add to prospect inventory in north and east

  • Shallow water (40-800m) in Rufisque block

  • Very competitive pricing

Good news! Industry costs coming down

  • Day rate for deepwater rigs offshore W Africa heavily reduced

  • JV locking in Ocean Rig Athena at market based rate

  • Offshore upstream capital costs are expected to decline 12% on average between 2014 and 2016

  • Labour pressure is also expected to ease from falling demand

31

Notional Development Concept

FPSO (Floating Production Storage and Offtake vessel)

  • Hub at SNE Field

  • Tie back to nearby fields

  • Tanker support

  • Multiple subsea centres

  • Possible shallow water developments with platforms

Development expenditure:

  • Dependent on concept solution and scale of resources

  • Preliminary estimates CAPEX US$17-26/bbl, in line with analogue developments

Operating expenditure:

  • Dependent on development concept and operating philosophy

  • Preliminary estimates OPEX US$5-15/bbl

  • PSC cost recovery mechanism

These estimates have an associated risk of discovery and risk of development. Further exploration and appraisal is required to determine the existence of a significant quantity of potentially moveable hydrocarbons.

  • Information in this report relating to hydrocarbon resource estimates has been compiled by Peter Nicholls, the FAR exploration manager.
