1 The Evolution of a Proven Giant Oil & Gas Play in Subsalt Miocene Lower Slope Sands-Reservoirs of the Federal Offshore OCS Shelf, US Gulf of Mexico Clint Moore with Bill Lefler, Tom Uphoff, Rich Heaney, & Mike Neese SIPES Houston Houston, Texas September 21, 2017
2 Objectives Highlight depositional systems of reservoir sands in the Miocene-age Lower Slope section of the Offshore Central Louisiana Gulf of Mexico Show these Conger-Mahogany-Hickory ancestral Mioceneage Lower Slope sands, as proven highly productive reservoirs with further potential in surrounding undrilled mini-basins of the play Demonstrate that the Miocene-age Lower Slope is NOT a bypass zone, but is a broad, widespread area of sandfilled confined mini-basins with sand-filled lowstand levels of amalgamated and channelized fans.
3 Re-Emerging Shelf Miocene Sub-Salt Oil Sand Play
4 Evolution of the Shelf Miocene Sub-Salt Play The play was 1 st produced in the 1990 s but older technology left potential giant fields behind Thick sand below salt discovered by accident SMI 200 well discovered 1000 of thick reservoir sand below an unexpected salt sheet, in late 1985 Shift to Deepwater Seismic advances lead to massive discoveries in deepwater GoM, followed globally (Brazil, West Africa, East Africa, and others) Extensive R&D spending on sub-salt imaging & drilling due to global size of the prize GulfSlope Captures Leading Lease Position Industry applies RTM to Shelf Miocene Sub-Salt play GulfSlope acquires a leading position in the Shelf Miocene Sub-Salt play Shelf Miocene Sub-Salt Play 1 st Developed Sub-Salt Seismic Successful in deepwater Deepwater Technology Re-applies to the Shelf Mahogany discovered in 1993, with 400+ MMboe discovered in play by 2000 Shelf Miocene Sub-Salt Exploration Limited by Seismic Clarity Early sub-salt seismic has difficulty with GoM shelf Play limited by drilling depth capabilities Seismic Advancements New Reverse Time Migration (RTM) more accurately images sub-salt RTM and other technologies proven successful in sub-salt deepwater GoM, Brazil, West Africa, & East Africa

29 Conclusions Lower Slope sands are extensively deposited across the Miocene ancestral slope, and are most commonly found as amalgamated and channelized fans in intraslope confined minibasins Miocene-age Lower Slope sands have produced well in Conger- Mahogany-Tanzanite-Hickory reservoirs to date (350+ MMBOE produced 400+ MMBOE EUR) The GOM Miocene-age Lower Slope is NOT a bypass zone, but consists of widespread sand-filled confined mini-basins with sizeable untested field potential across a 400+ block 2+ million acre area of the present day Louisiana outer shelf
