1 Exploiting the ROZ in Lithuania Thomas M. Haselton Minijos Nafta Presented at the 19 th Annual CO 2 Flooding Conference December 14, 2013 Midland, Texas

2 REPUBLIC OF LITHUANIA EU MEMBER STATE

3 OVERVIEW Quick Review of ROZ Concept The ROZ in Minijos Nafta license area Lithuania How could it be exploited

4 Minijos Nafta 8 small existing oil fields Produced 15 million barrels of oil

5 THE ROZ BACKGROUND (Residual Oil Zone) Next 3 slides from Steve Melzer

6 Original Accumulation with a Breached then Repaired Seal & Forming a ROZ ORIGINAL POST BREACH TYPE 2 ROZ

7 CONVENTIONAL PAY RESIDUAL OIL ZONE ( ROZ ) PAY CHARACTERISTICS: Oil shows while drilling Oil saturation < 50% Tests water + some oil BREACHED FIELD NATURAL WATERFLOOD 10-30% of OIIP CAN BE PRODUCED WITH CO2

8 Annualized Oil Production in bopd THE CONCEPT OF RESIDUAL OIL PRODUCTION WITH CO2 (Midland Basin, Texas example) Total, Primary, Waterflood, Main Pay and ROZ CO2 Performance (the Concept of "Brownfield" Quaternary Oil) 80,000 70,000 Secondary Production Peak TOTAL OIL - bopd Proj Primary-bopd Proj Waterflood-bopd Main Pay EOR Baseline Quat 2.0 Oil - bopd 60,000 50,000 40,000 Primary Production Peak Tertiary CO2 Production Peak Quaternary CO2 ROZ Production Peak 30,000 20,000 10,000 0 Primary Cum = 125 mm bbls Secondary Cum = 325 mm bbls Year Tertiary Cum = 200 mm bbls Projected Quaternary Cum = 200 mm bbls

15 Sources of CO2 Lithuania up to 4-5 million tons/year within 200 km Import via LNG terminal Ideal Solution would be a local power plant or fertilizer plant from which to extract CO2

21 Degliai-1 CO2 Injection Results To date produced approximately 400 m3 of incremental oil (2,500 barrels) Producing approximately 1 ton (7 barrels) of oil per ton of CO2 produced

22 Pociai-3 Test produced well for 6 months 2-3 bpd Flushed zone with water Currently injecting 500 tons in ROZ Shut in for 1 month and produce back
