3 The South East Region Defined

4 Some Observations The SE European region is overdependent on oil and gas imports On the strength of 2011 figures the region s 12 countries consumed 1.761,47 barrels per day (bpd) and imported 1.543,67 bpd which means that there are 88% dependent on oil imports In the case of gas these countries consumed 69 bcm in 2011 and imported 55.0 bcm, i.e. they were dependent to the tune of 74% on gas imports The 12 SE European countries paid some 55 billion Euro (US$ 69 billion) gross, to import oil and some 28 billion Euros to import gas which corresponds to approx 6.0% of their GDP (net imports are lower at 49 billion Euros for oil and 22 billion Euros for gas)

8 Some Basic Facts The average price of oil for the Brent European benchmark for 2011 was $ bbl and so far in 2012 it stands at $112 bbl The average OPEC Reference Basket Price for 2011 was $ p/bbl while for 2012, until last week, it stood at $ p/bbl The above are considered all time historical high prices. Never before have we witnessed such high average oil prices over such a prolonged period According to latest CGES forecasts oil prices are not likely to collapse next year or move to substantially lower levels (in spite of weaker global economic growth), which means that SE European economies will continue to face a high financing burden for oil and gas imports

13 Raison d Etre for Higher Local Oil & Gas Production The relatively high amounts of money spend to import oil and gas in SE Europe justify the effort and resources for maximizing indigenous hydrocarbon production Total oil production by all 12 SE European countries reached 223,800 bpd in 2011 and 13,55 bcm for gas which means that there is scope and available industry resources for increasing this production Latest geological, geophysical and seismic analysis indicate that there is good potential in several parts of the region for achieving much higher oil and gas production

14 SE Europe has a Promising Oil and Gas Potential Based on current knowledge we have five distinct hydrocarbon plays: (a) Black Sea (b) Adriatic (onshore in Albania and Greece and offshore in the Adriatic and Ionian Seas) (c) Aegean Sea (North and South East) (d) Herodotus basin (South of Crete) (e) East Med, also known as the Leviathan basin

15 The Promise of the Black Sea The region remains largely unexplored with less than 100 exploration wells drilled (as compared with 7,000 wells drilled in the North Sea) Black Sea Deep Water remains one of the world s last frontier areas Only one major discovery so far for in the Neptun Block in Romania Shallow and deep water formations present USGS Study of 2000 estimates > 7.0 Bill BOE in offshore areas

16 Eastern and Southern Black Sea Shallow water-moderately explored Deep water - frontier region From Block Varna Engagement in All Other Directions Romania Ukraine Russia Galata Field Domino-1 Georgia Bulgaria Polshkov Ridge Turkey

17 Romania - Black Sea New major offshore gas finds promise significant production opportunities Ana, Doina and Domino fields are vital for opening up Black Sea exploration in Romania sector Estimates for a 600 Bcm offshore natural gas resource base Anticipated capital investment of $ 30.0 billion over next 15 years for developing full offshore oil & gas capacity Romania could thus become net gas exporter to EU by 2025

21 Turkey More than 3,000 exploration wells since 1935 (mainly onshore) Most of the reserves and major production is in the Hakkari basin (SE Turkey) Oil reserves stand at 270 million bbl In 2009, oil production: 46,000 bbl/d In 2010, gas production: 23.9 bcf or 0.67 tcm

24 Albania A producer since early 20 th century Patos-Marinza discovered in 1928, production commenced in 1939 Production peaked in 1974 (2.25 million tons/year) Following new investment oil production increased in 2010: 11,000 bbl/d The outlook is for even higher production at bbl/d Current gas production: 500 Mcf/d

26 Oil Geology and hydrocarbons events in Albania 26 First Offshore Bidding Round In the offshore bidding round, the Albanian offshore was divided in 5 blocks with a total surface area of km 2 which were offered to the international oil companies. At the end of the round, 5 Petroleum Sharing Agreements were signed for 5 blocks offered, respectively. Block Rodoni-1 to DEMINEX Co. (German) and OMW Co. (Austrian) Block Adriatiku-2 Block Adriatiku-3 (American) to AGIP Co. (Italian) to Occidental Co. Block Adrialtiku-4 to CHEVRON Co. (American) Block Joni-5 (Australiane) to HAMILTON OIL Co. The Albanian offshore was completely unexplored with a total absence of data. Totol investment 147 Milion USD The A4-1x well drilled (1993 by AGIP and Chevron in offshore Albania (Adriatiku-4) proved to be as a light oil (condensate) and gas bearing in Messinian clastic reservoir.

27 Croatia Production peaked in 1980s Production has faced major decline 1994 Oil production in 2009: 15,000 bbl/d Gas production in 2010: 67 Bcf/d

Adriatic offshore for the 10 year period ( ) shallow, biogenic gas play Recently new possibilities opened for thin gas layers exploration Central & South Adriatic under-explored, no capital investment in the area since late 80-ies untill 2011/2012 2D&3D high resolution seismic in South Adriatic New oil plays are proposed for these areas since drilling top of carbonate platform structures was not particularly successfull Deeper portion of S. Adriatic offshore undrilled (sea depth>300m) Possibilities for gas exploration in Central and South Adriatic not nearly exhausted most of the wells targeted oil in carbonates, in course of drilling both biogenic and thermogenic gas shows observed in the clastics from Oligocene to Pleistocene age

56 Concluding Remarks The SE European region faces a high oil and gas import bill but has the prospect and ability to reduce it by increasing its indigenous output The region has favourable geological and geophysical conditions but is fragmented in widely differing oil and gas promising zones (and pockets) Romania s role is crucial as it is already leading efforts for increased oil and gas production in the Black Sea zone and could become the first gas exporting country to Central and SE Europe The East Med is also emerging as a potentially large oil and gas producing region with real export potential and capable of supporting an East Med energy corridor There is sustained strong investment interest in the region by international oil and gas companies in spite of political tensions and red tape. This is most encouraging
