Drilling History 1998 6 wells drilled, 5 encountered oil and gas shows. Both Argos wells had oil shows

All encountered a world class Early Cretaceous oil source rock up to 1,000m thick

Higher organic carbon content than North Sea oil source rocks

Estimate over 70 billion barrels of oil generated

No prospects tested within or below source rock

Gas discovery in Johnson indicated an additional older, deeper source rock

2010/2011 15 wells drilled; 7 exploration; 8 appraisal

Multiple successes: • 1 oil discovery, Sea Lion

• 2 oil & gas discoveries, Casper & Casper South

• 2 gas condensate discoveries, Beverley & Liz
