Pura Vida’s strategy for the commercialisation of Loba has the potential to transform the Company from an Explorer to a Producer in the near term

==> picture [152 x 56] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [100 x 56] intentionally omitted <==

  • Recent work has rejuvenated plans for the appraisal and development of the Loba Oil Field in Pura Vida’s 100%owned Nkembe block

  • Loba has an 81% chance of commercial success[1 ]

  • We now have a fully costed Concept & Feasibility Study (CFS) for the fast-track development of the Loba Oil Field allowing for first production within 12 months of a successful production test

  • There is a unique window of opportunity to take advantage of the current low cost environment, including readily available idled assets which enable cost effective fast-track development

  • Economic modelling for the Loba Oil Field and Loba Complex gives an NPV10 ranging from US$37 to $330 million (unrisked)[2 ]

  • The low case (1C) for the Loba Oil Field is economic even at current oil prices[2,3]

  • The much larger Lepidote Deep prospect is ‘drill-ready’ and offers significant upside potential

  • Pura Vida is in farmout discussions with industry partners that are focused on commercialisation of the Loba Complex in the near term

Pura Vida’s strategy for the commercialisation of Loba has the potential to transform the Company from an Explorer to a Producer in the near term

  • Project economics are robust

  • Margins improve considerably if resource exceeds 1C (P90) estimate for Loba Discovery only

  • Loba East and Loba Deep offer significant upside to Loba Field

  • Payback period for Capex in all cases is less than 12 months from first production

  • By way of comparison, VAALCO publicly stated their breakeven for Gabon production is <US$25/bbl

  • Ability to cost recover exploration costs under PSC makes further exploration very attractive once Loba is in production

  • Success at Loba opens the development hub up to numerous near field exploration plays

Well design for optimal flow and recovery rates
----- End of picture text -----

  • An independent study of well flow potential based on Loba discovery found the optimum well design should include:

  • Dual lateral horizontal well (as shown)

  • Frac-pack completion

  • Electrical submersible pumps (ESP’s)

  • The independent study found achievable flow rates of 4,200 bopd up to 10,000 bopd based on this well design

  • PVD has incorporated this design in its development plan and economics using per well flow rates of 4,200 bopd (Low 1C case) and 6,500 bopd in all other cases

Resource estimates cautionary statement

The estimated quantities of prospective resources relate to undiscovered accumulations and contingent resources relate to discovered accumulations. These estimates have an associated risk of discovery or appraisal (as the case may be) as well as a risk of development. Further exploration, appraisal and/or evaluation is required to determine the existence of a commercial quantity of moveable hydrocarbons.

Prospective and contingent resource estimates in this presentation are prepared as at 7[th] September 2016. The resource estimates have been prepared using the Society of Petroleum Engineers’ Petroleum Resources Management System (SPE-PRMS) to define resource classification and volumes see www.spe.org . The contingent resource estimates for the Loba oil discovery have changed as a result of new data, in particular an engineering study of the well test of Loba-M-1 and a well flow potential study and well bore modelling which has refined and optimised well design. This work has impacted the range in estimated recovery rates and consequently the resultant resource estimates and the chance of success. The prospective resource estimates for pre-salt prospects have changed due to a change in assumptions on condensate yield. For calculations of gas to liquids a conversion factor of 6 has been used to report barrels of oil equivalent.

Pura Vida is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates of the contingent and prospective resources.

Loba Complex economic assumptions
----- End of picture text -----

  1. Economic model is used to calculate the Net Present Value (NPV) of future cash flows from the project for the cases described below using a 10% discount rate and based on the assumptions set out herein.

  2. Costs and development concept are based on CFS for a fast-track development of the Loba Field utilising a MOPU and a 6 slot WHIEP with up to 3 production wells to recover contingent and prospective recoverable resource range. Facilities would be tied back to nearby pipeline infrastructure.

  3. Costs inputs meet Level 3 Criteria (High confidence) with a total contingency of 30%. Opex is escalated at 3% pa.

  4. All production wells assumed to be single surface well with dual horizontal well bores in reservoir section with completions that include frack packs, gravel screens and down hole Electrical Submersible Pumps (ESP’s) to optimise production rate and recovery per well. Independant study found achievable flow rates of 4,200 bopd up to 10,000 bopd based on this well design. Modelling assumes per well flow rates of 4,200 bopd (Low case) and 6,500 bopd in all other cases.

  5. Loba Economic Cases:

Cases Comment
Loba Field Only
Low (1C) 1C recoverable contingent resource (7.7mmbo). Assumes a single well with two horizontal producers for the Loba discovery only.
Best (2C) 2C recoverable contingent resource (11.5 mmbo) representing best case. Assumes a single well with two horizontal producers that have better
recoverythan Low case,drainingonlythe Loba discovery.
High (3C) 3C recoverable contingent resource (16.5 mmbo). Assumes two wells both with two horizontal producers draining only the Loba discovery.
Loba Complex
Aggregated
Mean
Arithmetic summation of mean contingent and mean prospective recoverable resources of Loba, Loba Deep and Loba East (being a total of
34mmbo). Assumes three wells each with two horizontal producers.
  1. Loba Complex modelled using mean volumes to enable arithmetic summation of resources for the Loba Field, Loba Deep & Loba East, full range of resource estimates and risking are shown on Slide 14.

  2. All valuations are net to Pura Vida’s 80% interest after corporate income tax, assuming Government takes up 20% share of the development. Pura Vida’s interest may be subject to farm down.

  3. 10% discount rate used in NPV calculations.

  4. All valuations use PVD’s base case oil price forecast which is the average of WTI futures and the World bank oil futures (that is itself an average of Brent, Dubai & WTI). See slides 16 & 17 for details on oil price assumptions and sensitivity analysis.

  5. Royalty, bonuses, fund contributions, cost recovery and production splits are modelled in accordance with PSC terms.

  • Farmout - Securing funding for the drilling program through a farmout deal is the critical next step in realising the value of the Nkembe block. Pura Vida is in discussions with potential partners to fund the drilling program, including appraisal and testing of the Loba Oil Field. Nkembe is a quality asset and as the Operator and holder of a 100% interest in the block, the Company believes it is well placed to achieve a farmout.

  • Work commitments - Pura Vida’s ability to perform the work commitments in the current exploration phase of the Nkembe block, which includes acquisition of new 3D seismic data and a well, remains dependent on securing a farmin partner or an agreement with the Government to vary those commitments.

  • Development funding - In the success case, the Company will need additional funding to proceed with any development of the Loba Oil Field or other discovery. The Company may look to industry partners for funding in such circumstances and/or consider debt or equity funding alternatives.

  • Geological risk - Exploration risk is evaluated by interpretation of geological and geophysical data and the accuracy of those interpretations can be influenced by a number of factors. A key risk in the commercialisation of the Loba Oil Field is establishing a commercial flow rate by carrying out a production test of that reservoir.

  • Oil price – Economic factors, and in particular, the oil price will impact the project. The price of oil fell sharply in late 2014 and a sustained period of relatively low oil prices has been experienced since then. The oil price has recovered from the lows experienced in early 2016 however remains volatile.

  • General risks - There are number of other risks commonly associated with the business of oil exploration, development and production. By its nature, oil exploration contains elements of significant risk with no certainty of the discovery and commercialisation of hydrocarbons. A broad range of factors may impact results such as operational and environmental risks, failure to obtain consents and approvals necessary for the conduct of operations and regulatory or sovereign risk and political instability.

Pura Vida’s believes its strategy for the Nkembe block has the potential to be transformational for the Company in the near term. Management are actively seeking to overcome the challenges and risks in order to realise the potential value for shareholders
