4 4 Brunei, Block L World Class Oil and Gas province AED is the Operator Effective Interest - 50% Lukut-1 Exploration well - Complete Lempuyang-1 Exploration Well Complete, and ready for testing Jerudong Re-development potential JV partners: Kulczyk Oil Ventures (40%) and QAF Oilfield Services (10%) Onshore prospect

5 WHY BRUNEI? 5 Proven oil and gas province Brunei is currently Asia s third highest producer. Underexplored minimal on-shore exploration activity during the past 20 years. High drilling success rates historical rates in Brunei are very high relative to other regions. Low drilling costs due to largely on-shore acreage location of Block L and ready access to services and contractors. Excellent access to existing infrastructure means a timely and inexpensive path to commercialisation for any successful discoveries. Improved seismic and drilling technologies provide enhanced opportunities Block L covers approximately 1/3 of Brunei, approximately 2,200km².

11 JERUDONG OIL FIELD 11 Near term production opportunity The Jerudong Field discovered oil in 1955/56 with Jerudong-2 (the first success in Brunei Darussalam outside the Seria field). 2D seismic Interpretation Jerudong-6 (1956) discovered gas Jerudong-9 (1957) - a twin hole slightly updip from Jerudong-2, discovered oil and Jerudong-3 gas Between 1956 and 1962, the field produced 628,000 bbls Jerudong-2 Jerudong-9 Jerudong-6 The field was shut-in in 1962 for political reasons Jerudong-11 (1987) - discovered a 12 m net gas sand in a very complex part of the structure

12 FUTURE EXPLORATION 12 High impact exploration and exciting long term growth potential Proven oil and gas province Brunei is currently Asia s third highest producer Multiple play types and numerous leads and prospects Modern 3D seismic available and addition new seismic Little recent exploration activity means significant advancements in exploration are yet to be utilised High drilling success rates (typically 1 in 3) Leads and prospects resources of 1.0tcf gas (P50) Drill two onshore exploration wells, each to a minimum depth of 2,000 metres. Phase 1 Exploration Programme Aerial gravity/magnetics survey Basin Study These studies will assist in directing future seismic acquisition and drilling programmes Phase 2 Exploration Programme Acquire and process at least: kilometres of onshore 2D seismic data kilometres of offshore 2D seismic data; Acquire and process at least: 150 square kilometres of offshore 3D seismic data (or dollar equivalent amount of 2D seismic data)
