5 General. Introduction This report documents the relinquishment of licence P967, UK Block 2/4b. The location map can be seen in Fig.. and the licence summary in the table below. A review of the prospectivity of the block concluded that there was no economically viable prospectivity and the block should be relinquished. ± 2/6 2/ 2/ 20/26 20/27 EQ Operated Licensed Blocks 2/7 2/2 2/ Km 2/8 2/ 2/ 20/28 20/29b 2/4b 2/9 2/4 20/24a HUDSON WESTERN ISLES 20/29a CLADHAN 20/29c 2/5F BROOM NORTH TERRACE 2/5 HEATHER SOUTH WEST 2/0a 2/5b 20/0b 20/0c 2/0b TERN 2/4a HEATHER 2/4aF CHEVIOT 2/5a /6 002/0 (Area ) Text CORMORANT FIONN 2/22a5 EAST 2/22 DUNLIN (Area ) 2/2a SKYE CORMORANT 2/2e NORTH 2/26b 2/2a4 2/26c 2/28b 2/29e 2/26aW 2/26aF CORMORANT - SOUTH 2/26d 2/5F2 2/26a PELICAN /an /a /c 2/27a 2/27c HUTTON 2/27b NORTH 2/27b WEST 2/27b HUTTON 2/27f 2/27e DARWIN /2a /b /a /F /a /d LYELL WEST LYELL /2c /7d /7c /2a /2b /2b /7aF /c /8b COLUMBA B /8aF /8g COLUMBA D COLUMBA E /8d /7bF STAFFA 00/07 (Area ) 00/2 /b (Area 2) NINIAN 00/08 (Area 2) ORLANDO 00/0 (Area 8) /4c /9c 2/29a 2/29F 2/29f 2/29d BRENT OIL /4aF /4aF /4b STRATHSPEY /4aF2 /9a /9d 2/24b STATFJORD STATFJORD (UK) /5 /4d /0c ALWYN 00/0 NORTH (Area ) 00/09 /9e /0a (Area 7) /4a /4j /5b /5a /4b DUNBAR /4i ELLON /4h GRANT /4d JURA 6 0'0"N 6 0'0"N 60 50'0"N 60 40'0"N 0 0'0" 0 2'0"E 0 24'0"E Fig.. 2/4b Location Map 0 6'0"E 0 48'0"E 0'0"E 2'0"E 24'0"E 6'0"E 48'0"E Table.: Licence Summary Licence Number Licence round Licence Type P967 27th Traditional Block Number(s) 2/4b Operator / Partners % EnQuest Ltd 50% (operator), MOL Growest (II) Ltd 50% Block 2/4b Relinquishment Report - General Page

6 .2 Commitments The firm work commitment at award was to carry out subsurface work to delineate the Jurassic potential. This work has now been carried out and the partnership agree that no commercially viable prospectivity lies within the licensed area. Page 2 Block 2/4b Relinquishment Report -.2 Commitments

7 2 Summary Licence P967 was awarded to the partnership on the st of January 20 as a 27th round traditional licence. An evaluation of all the prospectivity within the licence was undertaken by the partnership following the acquisition of licence P967. The review recognised no commercially viable prospectivity within the licenced area. Block 2/4b Relinquishment Report - 2 Summary Page

Brent sands were absent. Palaeocene sands were present and oil bearing. OWC of 2070ft observed from logs giving a gross oil column of 2ft. A limited DST was carried out to recover an oil sample from the interval ft RKB. This test was unsuccessful. Analyses on an oil sample from a SWC showed the oil was biodegraded and severely water-washed and as a result is heavy and viscous. An oil gravity of approx 6.5 API has been estimated for the top of the column. 2/4-982 P&A with oil shows in the Upper Triassic Palaeocene Sandstone and Devonian Sandstone 2/ P&A Dry Middle Jurassic Brent Sands Pre- Cambrian Basement Pre- Cambrian Basement Palaeocene sandstone had no shows.

11 4 Prospectivity Analysis 4. Play Summary Regional studies of this area of the Northern North sea have shown that there are two primary plays that can work in this province. The partnership identified notional prospectivity in Middle and Upper Jurassic reservoirs (Fig. 4.) along the margin of the East Shetland bounding fault and in zones where a possible strike-slip element has been recognised offsetting the platform. Only in the most easterly portion of the block would it be expected to see small downfaulted terraces as one steps rapidly down into the basin where Middle Jurassic Emerald sandstones may be preserved in small scale footwall collapse terraces or "lick-ups". Additionally at least two candidate fault intersection offsets in the platform occur in this block which may provide conduits for erosive products to enter the basin during Volgian and Kimmeridgian times (Fig. 4.2). Some of these channel sandstones associated with these fault junction entry points have been found to be oil bearing and productive in the Cladhan field which is located to the north of block 2/4b. Both playfairways are sourced by the prolific Kimmeridge Clay Formation and oil charge is considered to be a small risk. The playfairways investigated as part of this analysis are summarised below.

14 Severely biodegraded migrant oil is abundantly present in cutting samples from the Rogaland and lower Late Palaeocene intervals in 2/- and the Triassic of 2/4-, owing to shallow reservoir depths at the time of the migration. Oil recovered from both wells has a gravity of 2-20º API and appears to have been expelled from rocks of similar maturity (upper oil window) within the Kimmeridge Clay Formation though it is believed the oil came from different kitchen areas. Middle Jurassic: Emerald Group Sandstones Reservoir Callovian sandstones of the Emerald Group are present along the western margin of the East Shetland Basin in Quadrants 2 and, where they are productive in the Emerald Field (blocks 2/0a, 2/5a and /b). These shallow marine/estuarine sandstones comprise an upward-fining medium to very-fine grained sequence between 2-8 m thick that transgressed across the surface of outcropping Precambrian and Old Red Sandstone rocks. The sequence is very uniform in thickness and forms a sheet sandstone of nearshore to offshore marine origin. The reservoir lies at a depth of m and is of good quality with porosities of 25-0% and permeability in the range md. The sandstones shale out eastwards into Heather mudstones. In West and Southwest Heather, oil-bearing Emerald sandstone directly overlies eroded basal Brent, which forms the primary producing horizon in these fields, e.g. in the 2/5-8B and 2/5-0 wells. Seal Seal can be provided by either Heather or Kimmeridge Formation mudstones and ultimately Lower Cretaceous Shetland Group shales and marls. Upper Jurassic: Volgian "Cladhan"/"Ivy" Sandstones Reservoir Volgian-age sandstones in Upper Jurassic channel systems and wedges may also form reservoir in this area. Interbedded sandstones and conglomerates within the Kimmeridge Clay Formation reflect the erosion of the East Shetland Platform during intermittent uplift episodes which were subsequently deposited as submarine fans by gravity-flow processes. Fault intersection offsets in the East Shetland boundary fault provide conduits for these erosive exposed hinterland platform products to enter the basin during Volgian and Kimmeridgian times. Reservoir quality is generally moderate to poor depending on depth of burial, diagenetic history and timing of hydrocarbon migration. Volgian-age "Cladhan" sandstones provide the reservoir in the Cladhan field which is located to the north of 2/4b. The 20/29a-4z (Cladhan appraisal) well encountered a gross hydrocarbon column of 59ft with 02ft of net hydrocarbon bearing sandstones. Reservoir quality is described as excellent with average porosities of 2% and average oil saturations of 86%. However the 2/5-27 (Ivy) well, which tested a sediment entry point to the south of Broom, encountered 28ft of clean, extremely tight, water bearing Volgian sandstones. It is thought that the sands seen at both Cladhan and Ivy were deposited in a similar depositional environment, with deposition at "Ivy" occurring in a more proximal location i.e. a feeder channel rather than a lobe/fan. Reservoir quality is proven to be a key risk for this play. Page 0 Block 2/4b Relinquishment Report - 4. Play Summary

15 Seal Seal is provided by a blanket of pelagic Kimmeridge Clay, up-dip mud plugging, sediment by-pass or complete structural dislocation of the channel systems. 4.2 Prospectivity EnQuest have evaluated the prospectivity of block 2/4b and concluded that there is no economically viable prospectivity within the licence area. One weak lead was identified immediately to the west of well 2/4-2 and is discussed below. Seismic Interpretation Seismic horizons were interpreted and TWT grids created for the following horizons (Fig. 4.4): Seabed Top Balder Fm Base Tertiary (2D dataset only) Nr Top Danian (D dataset only) Base Upper Cretaceous (D dataset only) BCU Top Brent (D dataset only) Basement (2D dataset only) NW SE NE 2/4-2/4-2 2/5-5 2/5-z 2/5-4z T50 Base Tertiary Basement T50 Danian Base U.

16 2D Interpretation Interpretation of the 2D dataset identified a fault bounded high with dip closure to the north at the Base Tertiary level (Fig. 4.5 & Fig. 4.6), however as shown by the current mapping this structure appears to be part of the same large fault block drilled by well 2/- in which the Brent Group or it's equivalent was absent. This well was dry, but with strong oil shows in the Palaeocene Sands, where the well encountered 2ft of oil bearing sand but failed to flow on test. This structure has therefore been classified as unprospective. Part of same large fault block drilled by 2/-.

TOC86-7 D Interpretation Mapping of the 202 PGS Heather Geostreamer D was carried out to delineate any potential within the Jurassic where notional prospectivity had been identified in the eastern portion of the block along the margin of the East Shetland boundary fault. A single weak lead was identified immediately to the west of well 2/4-2, this well was dry and the Brent sands absent. The structure is a small scale collapse terrace on the footwall of the East Shetland Boundary fault (Fig. 4.7). Initial mapping was carried out on the PGS Heather Geostreamer D PSTM, however re-mapping on the PGS Heather Geostreamer D PSDM shows no apparent change in the structure. Southwest-northeast seismic sections through the structure are shown in Fig. 4.8 which compare the quality of the two datasets. Reservoir may be provided by Emerald or Brent Group sandstones, sealed by Heather or Kimmeridgian formation mudstones or ultimately Lower Cretaceous Shetland Group shales and marls. Volumetrics have been calculated using parameters from offset well data and can be seen in 5 Reserves Summary. Block 2/4b Relinquishment Report Prospectivity Page

20 5 Reserves Summary The partnership have concluded that this small scale fault terrace is unprospective due to the small scale of the structure and its associated volumes in addition to risks on reservoir presence and fault seal.
