A Clear Strategy To Add Value Appraise and Monetise Algerian Asset • Multi-Well appraisal campaign successfully completed • Farm-out to Enel concluded • Field “Final Discovery Report” to be filed imminently Diversify and Balance our Business • Maintain focus on MENA • Skills/Expertise focus extends throughout Africa/Middle East • Target to secure low risk post-appraisal plays Target Transformational Growth • Acquire or discover assets with material resource potential • Target high initial equity interests with operator status preferred • Active risk mitigation through farm-out and partnering strategy • Prepared to be Opportunistic 4
Petroceltic’s Current Core Areas • Core areas in Algeria, Kurdistan Region of Iraq and Italy in which Petroceltic has multiple potential „company makers‟ • Significant exploration potential identified • A portfolio of Oil and Gas Development opportunities Isarene Permit – 6 well appraisal campaign in 2011 5
Algeria: Successful Appraisal Programme Well Type Objective Comment AT-4 Vertical GIIP Outside Glacial Valley AT-8 AT-5 Pilot + Flow Rate Pop-Up (1) Horizontal AT-6 Vertical GIIP SE Valley AT-9 AT-7 Vertical GIIP SW Valley AT-8 Vertical GIIP/Flow Northern Area Rate AT-9 Pilot + Flow Rate Pop-Up (2) Horizontal • 2011 drilling programme moves project towards bookable recoverable reserve status in 2012 • Major GIIP Upgrade from appraisal programme • AT-9 Flowed 67.6 mmscfd pre-fraccing –demonstrating potential for high deliverability within Ain Tsila complex and underpinning commerciality 8
Ain Tsila Gas-Initially-in-Place (“GIIP”) • Appraisal wells have demonstrated greater gas columns and better than expected reservoir properties - close to, or better than P10 predictions • The range is still wide due to the large field area relative to the number of wells • Appraisal well “step-outs” are typically >10 km • Entire North Sea fields would fit into the gaps! • High quality seismic covers only a part of Ain Tsila • With a 30 year field life, higher GIIP is a key source of long-term value Case GIIP – TCF * Low 5.7 Mid 10.3 High 20.8 * Current Petroceltic Internal Estimates 9
Ain Tsila Ordovician Analogues – It’s been done before • Tignuentourine (BP/ Statoil) – 1000 MMscf/d wet gas plateau – ~30 wells, 3 trains • Tin Fouye-Tabankort (Total/ Repsol) – 700 MMscf/d wet gas plateau with – ~40 wells, 2 trains • Ohanet (BHP Billiton) – 350 MMscf/d wet gas plateau – ~12 wells, 2 trains • Key Development Issues – Distribution of „good‟ facies – Distribution & density of open fractures – Optimisation of hydraulic frac design – Learning while drilling (tie to 3-D seismic) • Experienced PCI team – Ex Burlington, BHP Ohanet – directly relevant experience 10
Summary of Ain Tsila Development Concept • Mid Case development scenario - Region 1 economically and technically robust High perm. • Projections based on field “Sector High Fractures Models” supported by appraisal evidence Region 2 Low high perm. • 11-13 yr wet gas plateau rate of 400 High Fractures mmscfd • 654 MMboe saleable volume Region 3 • 35 wells pre first gas, > 200 wells in total, Low high perm. • 2.4 TCF dry gas Medium Fractures • 106 Mmboe condensate • 109 Mmboe LPG • Simple single train central processing Region 5 facility, to standard industry design Region 4 No high perm. • Significantly positive economic outcome High perm. Low fractures for Algerian State Low fractures • AT-9 result indicates scope for further productivity upside – well above high- case expectations 11
