• Surrounded by analogue productive fields and existing infrastructure

• Gindi Basin geologic province, in one of Egypt’s most prolific oil-producing regions close to Qarun,Wadi Rayan, East Beni Suef fields

• 100% WI in the El Fayum oil concession in the Western Desert, one of Egypt’s most established and prolific hydrocarbon regions

• c.450,000 acres (1,826km2) located c.80km southwest of Cairo: Exploration: 388k acres(1,570km2)/ Development: 63k acres (256km2)

• Operated by Petrosilah, a 50/50 JV between Merlon and EGPC

• Scalable, low risk development profile: infill drilling, workovers and waterflood expansion

The El Fayum concession, is located 80km South West of Cairo. Crude trucked ~70km to Tebbeenthen shipped via PPC to domestic refineries

To ensure the health, safety, security and welfare of our employees and those with whom we work

Case StudyVietnam – Anthony Roache,Deputy General Manager, HLHVJOC

Throughout the whole of the HLHVJOC the highest safety standards are maintained.

Safety programmes build and maintain workforce participation encouraging people to be open about any potential risks or hazards and to take action. Safety observation cards are used by all staff and contractors and we have a meeting every morning to go through these. We had over 23,000 Hazard/ STOP cards during the year.

We are able to identify higher risks and whether there are any trends. We provide incentives for the best observation cards and/or contractors with excellent HSE performance on a monthly and yearly basis.

We undertake regular toolbox talks, ensure permits to work and all standard systems in place. In 2018 we conducted HSE audits of our main contractors. 1,112 audits and 648 inspections were carried out in the JOC. Every year HLHVJOC organise a contractor safety seminar, where experiences are shared in an open manner to highlight safety awareness.

To consult with and contribute into our host communities

Case StudyMedical Clinic in Nghe An Province

In 2018 the HLHVJOC supported the construction of a medical clinic in Nghe An Province of Vietnam. Located in an impoverished part of the Thanh ChuongDistrict, this clinic will improve the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. The area is a mountainous part of the country relying mostly on agriculture and forestry with a large proportion of the population below national poverty and healthcare standards. The HLHVJOC has invested $99,714 for the construction with staffing to be provided by local and national agencies. This builds on previous wok and partnerships in Nghe An.

Case StudyEducation Support for Hearing Impaired Children

Founded and managed by the Hanoi Red Cross, the Hanoi Private School for hearing- impaired children provides education for 93 students with hearing-impairments and autism from low income families in Hanoi. This builds on work supported in 2017 which provided upgrades to school infrastructure as well as teacher training and capacity building.

Egypt Growth Strategies

Slide 22

Potential for future Egypt consolidation Near - term growth strategy

• Maintain strong balance sheet- Escalated activity key for growth- Resolves handicap on historical activity / growth maintenance - Negotiate better receivable performance

• Many ways to win- 2C conversions to 2P - waterflood roll-out a large upside opportunity- Appraise reservoir extensions- Encounter channel reservoirs - Exploration success - top prospects drilled in 2019-2020- Special projects – AR “F” resource play, horizontal wells

• Re-stocking the inventory- 3D seismic programme in north of El Fayum- Award of North Beni Suef block

Longer - term growth strategy

• Maintain good position for inorganic consolidation opportunities

• Low water cut limited to injection water • Continued very low decline rate anticipated –

maintain reservoir pressure below the bubble point to avoid formation of secondary gas caps

• PSC expires 16 Dec 2025 or 16 Dec 2030 with a 5 year extension

TGT Field Performance

• Complex stacked sequence of thin reservoir sands over a 600m interval across ten fault blocks

• 31 producing wells & 1 water injector to date• Light , under saturated, relatively low viscosity oil

which attracts a premium to Brent• Production is assisted with gas lift• PSC expires 15 Nov 2024 or 15 Nov 2029 with a 5

year extension

SOCO International plc – June 2019

• TGT production in 2018 was impacted by performance issues with the field’s gas compressors, which suffered unplanned outages and delivered lower gas lift

• This in turn has increased the amount of gas going to flare and impacted on TGT oil production

• HLJOC completed tests that confirmed low specific gravity gas from a third party well with access to the FPSO was the main cause of the gas compressor inefficiencies

• Low specific gravity gas is produced by:‒ HSD-1P & HSD-6PR third party (TLJOC) wells (93% contribution)

‒ H5-WHP wells (7% contribution)

• Tie-In Agreement between HL JOC and TL JOC for use of TGT FPSO

• The term of the TIA ended Aug 2018 and is being renegotiated; interim TIA currently in place

• Each JOC shares opex based on throughput

• No guaranteed TLJOC throughput

Slide 30

Trial test was conducted to:

• Identify cause of gas compressor inefficiencies• Evaluate how gas flare and unstable gas lift pressure

were mitigated when choking down H5 and HSD-6PR separately

Export Gas Specific Gravity & Gas Flare Correlation Gas flare rate reduced from 14-15 to < 1 mmscfd

Shut in Shut in Shut in

Test to confirm source of low specific gravity gas, cause of the compressor instability , excess

flaring and impact on TGT oil production

The trial test demonstrated a very clear impact on FPSO gas flare rate and gas lift pressure by choking down HSD-6PR

Oil Production• When H5 wells were shut in compressor

performance did not improve• Choking down HSD-6PR gave a clear improvement

on compressor performance (gas lift pressure increased and was stable, gas flare rate decreased significantly)

Test result confirms TLJOC production impacts on gas compressor efficiency and TGT oil production

HLJOC will install two Manual Control Valves on the TGT-H1-WHP:

- One is to allow control of the total amount of hydrocarbons coming from the TLJOC fields into the TGT facilities;

- The other is to allow control the total amount of gas that HLJOC send to the TLJOC fields for gas-lift.

Upgrade work to restage compressors as a long term solution is due to start Q4 2019.

2P Simulated Profile assumptions:• Gas compressor upgrade September 2019 will increase gas lift by 20% to 70 mmscfd• 28 workovers (4 per year) each adding ¬650bpd gross (JOC has approved 18 well

interventions in 2019)• Future infill wells include 31P in 2019 and 3 further wells in 2020• Excludes gas production: GOR c.750 scf/stb2C profile assumes a further 18 wells drilled

2P Profile assumptions:• Well 5P-ST2 continues to clean-up to approximately 2mbpd in 1Q2019• Continued clean-up of 6P-ST1 and increasing oil production• Excludes gas production: GOR is c.3,000 scf/stb2C profile assumes an additional 2 wells
