Lotshi Block – Prospect Portfolio • At least 7 prospects (defined by 2-D seismic), 3 independent play ideas

– 450 km criss-crossed 2-D seismic (250 km originally shot Fina and 202 km shot by EnerGulf)

• Lucula (target reservoir in all 7 prospects):

– Forabola well drilled in 1970’s defined the Lucula Formation as the best potential reservoir on the block

– Lucula is stratigraphically equivalent to the reservoir at the giant M’Boundi field.

• Bucomazi is also a primary target in one prospect

– Good reservoir properties in adjacent block to north

• Fractured basement or “basement wash” is a primary target in two of the prospects.

– Produced hydrocarbons in nearby Lindu well and in nearby Cabinda.

• The Chela Dolomite is a secondary target in each prospect.

– produces from the giant Rabi-Kounga field in Gabon and smaller fields in Gabon.

– Tested at 2000 bbl/day in a discovery in nearby Cabinda
