Potential in Existing and Underexplored
Basins
• Access opportunities early in the exploration
and development value chain
• Development first – exploitation based value
creation, cash flow generation
• Exploration second – higher risk, higher return,
greater impact
• Area of Focus – Africa
• Many under-explored basins with attractive fiscal
terms, wide range of deal sizes, mature areas
becoming non-core for existing players
• Political risks out-weighed by the scale of the
reward

Strategic Partnership – Akepo Project
• Exile enters License as technical partner, April 2007
• Completed sub-surface reviews, EIA, site survey and re-entry engineering work for Akepo-1st
• Partnership between Sogenal (Operator), Oando and Exile:
• Completed further engineering site survey for rig move
• Completed engineering design for re-entry program on Akepo-1st using Nigerian project management company (Havilah)
• Contracted Noble Lloyd Noble rig, started work early December 2009
• Re-entered well and drill stem tested three zones:
• Lowermost D6 sand tested at 1,200 barrels of 43 degree API oil per day through a 20/64 inch choke, low Gas/Oil ratio (GOR).
• D1 sand tested at 1,170 barrels oil per day of 23 degree API oil through a 20/64 inch choke with low GOR, and the
• C1 sand tested at 570 barrels oil per day of 20 API oil through 20/64 inch choke with low GOR.

Akepo-1st Wellhead
10 10
Progress at Akepo Continues
• Akepo-1st completed as a two string multiple completion
• Gravel packs to control sand production, produce on two strings from two of the three zones (the third zone selective on one of the strings)
• Akepo-1st was successfully flow tested from the D6 sand at 1,789 barrels oil per day with good flowing wellhead pressures
• Engineering reviews of the test data suggest that the well can produce at stable rates between 2,500 and 3,000 barrels oil per day
• This would imply 200 to 240 barrels oil per day net to Exile (pre-tax and production costs) during the cost recovery phase

Exploration Potential at Akepo
– Prospect A
• Prospect A, north of Akepo
• Similar in size and sand distribution to Akepo (unrisked)
• Offers easily accessible, low-cost, upside exploration opportunity within the existing License area
• Could easily be tied into infrastructure for development
• Probabilities of Success in the area are estimated to be between 1:2 and 1:3
• Expect to use cash flow from Akepo (net to Exile) for new E&P opportunities,
• possibility of an exploration program on Prospect A

previous exploration campaign (Placid and
Mobil, 1980’s)
• Targeting review of existing data and cost
effective geochemical surveys to establish
potential for oil and gas
