2 ENMC COMPETENCIES/ATTRIBUTIONS ENMC - Global Since 2013, ENMC (National Authority for Fuel Market) has became the central stockholding entity responsible for the constitution and maintenance of the strategic emergency stocks of oil and petroleum products. Additionally, ENMC assumed new responsibilities, such as: Monitoring the fuels market, including crude oil, petroleum products and piped liquefied petroleum gas; Promoting the technical safety and fuel quality; Promoting biofuels and other renewable fuels, participating in the definition of new policies, in order to ensure consumer protection; Monitoring the prospection, research, development and exploitation of oil resources, as will be explained hereafter.

3 ENMC COMPETENCIES/ATTRIBUTIONS ENMC Petroleum Exploration and Production ENMC is responsible for technical matters regarding petroleum exploration and production: Automated management, treatment and development of technical data and information resulting from petroleum exploration and production activities Promote the knowledge of areas with petroleum potential near the companies Negotiate and ensure the procedures for granting petroleum exploration and production rights Evaluate and approve work programs and technical projects and supervise activities during the contracts execution, ensuring that the legal dispositions and rules are followed Propose or collaborate in the elaboration of rules, technical specifications and regulations relative to petroleum exploration and production and follow the transposition of Directives in which DGEG is the sectorial competent authority

20 CENTRO PARA O CONHECIMENTO DO PETRÓLEO

21 CENTRO PARA O CONHECIMENTO DO PETRÓLEO Summary The Centro para o Conhecimento do Petróleo of ENMC is a technical-scientific infrastructure which main mission is the petroleum technical data/information characterization, conservation, promotion and availability; The access to the geological, geochemical and geophysical data/information will allow the State, through ENMC, give a rapid and effective answer to diverse enquiries from the academic institutions and the petroleum industry; The development of the experimental teaching of science and petroleum geology dissemination will be obtained throught partnerships with schools and academic institutions.

22 CENTRO PARA O CONHECIMENTO DO PETRÓLEO Infrastructure for consultation and study, experience and knowledge and history and memory.

23 GRANTING RIGHTS Summary NAME MAXIMUM ACREAGE DURATION ALLOWED ACTIVITIES MINIMUM OBLIGATIONS Preliminary Evaluation License 35 lots approx km 2 6 months Processing, evaluation of existing data and geological field work Report results of evaluation Concession contract 16 lots * approx km 2 Exploration phase: 8 years * (+ 2 possible extensions 1 year each) Geological, geochemical and geophysical surveys; exploration and appraisal drilling Years 1 to 3: negotiable Years 4 to 8: 1 well/year ** Lots are 5 Lat. by 6 Long. Production phase: 25 years * (extensible to 40 years) Development drilling and production None * The number of lots and the duration of these periods can be exceeded in deep-offshore concessions. ** The number of wells can be less for deep-offshore concessions.

24 GRANTING RIGHTS Expected future bidding areas. Expected areas for Bidding Tender in preparation. - 4 shallow offshore areas in Porto Basin; - 2 deep offshore areas in Porto Basin; - 1 deep offshore area in Algarve Basin.

25 Final Notes (1/2) Portuguese Meso-Cenozoic basins: (From N to S) Porto basin: Galicia basin*: approx. over km km 2 Lusitanian basin: approx. Peniche basin: Alentejo basin: Sagres basin: over over over km km km km 2 Algarve basin: Cadiz basin*: * within Portuguese waters approx. over km km 2 With an area over km 2 and only 175 wells drilled, most basins are under explored, being the Lusitanian basin the most explored.

26 Final Notes (2/2) Basins are underexplored; Increasing interest in petroleum exploration in Portugal, with more 3D geophysical acquisitions and exploration wells; Attractive granting rights and fiscal system; Market proximity

27 With the existent activities and the ones foreseen, the probability of an economic discovery increases Touro-1/1Z (TAURUS, 1994)
