3 INTRODUCTION Since 1980, Côte d Ivoire has been progressively emerging as a potential oil and gas producing country. With the recents discoveries in the deep offshore, the country is about to become a new petroleum province. This presentation highlights oil and gas exploration opportunities in Côte d Ivoire by focusing on some key prospects in the deepwater blocks.

4 CONTENTS INTRODUCING PETROCI OVERVIEW OF THE SEDIMENTARY BASIN E & P ACTIVITIES REVIEW EXPLORATION OPPORTUNITIES (open blocks) CONCLUSION

5 CREATION : INTRODUCING PETROCI National oil company founded on October 21 st, CAPITAL: More than US $ OBJECTIVES : Hydrocarbon exploration and production; Promotion of oil & gas activities in the country Transportation, storage and commercialisation of hydrocarbons; Technical advisor to the government (PETROCI takes care of the government interests and is a key partner to international oil companies in the country). 4

6 OVERVIEW OF THE SEDIMENTARY BASIN Mali CÔTE d IVOIRE Located in the Gulf of Guinea, the basin was created in the lower cretaceous. Two majors faults : St Paul fracture. Romanche fracture Basin divided into two parts Onshore : sq km (19%) Offshore : sq km ( 81%)

7 E&P ACTIVITIES REVIEW SEISMIC DATA ACQUISITION ONSHORE (4,533 km ) 2D : 64,000 km OFFSHORE: (59,467 km ) 3D : 33,722 sq. km

8 E & P ACTIVITIES REVIEW DRILLING TOTAL WELLS: Exploration: Development: 213 wells 100 wells 113 wells Wells YEARS

12 ULTRA DEEP ZONE Area: 34,500 sq.km Bathymetry: ]3000, 4000m [ Well Drilled : None Seismic Data : 2D Survey (2006) : 6500 km Albian fields Post rift stratigraphic oil discovery Area C Area B Area A

13 ULTRA DEEP ZONE AREA A, EXAMPLE 1 AREA A Amplitude anomalies in draped post-rift Cretaceous Thick pre and syn-rift Large Albian tilted fault block closures

14 ULTRA DEEP ZONE AREA A, EXAMPLE 2 Faulted Albian highs AREA A

15 ULTRA DEEP ZONE AREA B, EXAMPLE 1 WITH AGC APPLIED Onlap/pinchout of mid Cretaceous sediments Large horst block of Albian sediments AREA B

16 ULTRA DEEP ZONE AREA B, EXAMPLE 2 AREA B Albian horst block Possible gas cloud above Albian high - Similar to Baobab and Kossipo Another possible gas cloud above Albian high

17 ULTRA DEEP ZONE AREA C, EXAMPLE 1 Sandy fan package with amplitude anomalies at crest and pinch-out AREA C

18 ULTRA DEEP ZONE SUMMARY SCHEMATIC OF HYDROCARBON PLAYS IN THE DEEPWATER

19 ULTRA DEEP ZONE TOTAL 2D acquisition: 10,000 Km 2006 acquisition 2009 acquisition

20 ULTRA DEEP ZONE Two sensors are better than one

21 ULTRA DEEP ZONE Higher signal-to-noise ratio Deeper tow means quieter environment Increased bandwidth especially in the lows Better penetration (salt, basalt) Greater resolution (stratigraphicinversion) More accurate Q estimation Improved multiple attenuation Improved imaging 4D compatible

22 ULTRA DEEP ZONE How confident are you to drill these prospects?

23 ULTRA DEEP ZONE How confident are you to drill these prospects?

24 CONCLUSION EXPLORATION OPPORTUNITIES IN CÔTE D IVOIRE Excellent G & G database; Good Exploration Potentiel; More Inciting Oil Legislation (to be soon at disposal); Political Will to Welcome and Help Foreign Investors Several projects await you in our beautiful country. Please take this opportunity to take the extra mile.
