3 EGAS 2015 International Bid Round comprises eight (8) exploration blocks, offered for competitive bidders under Production Sharing Agreement (PSA). Introduction The 8 offered blocks are all located offshore in shallow to moderate water depths less than 550m, in the Mediterranean Sea region lying between the Abu Qir Bay and El Arish city, with areal extents ranging between 1081 km 2 and 1927 km 2. The offered blocks are present in close proximity to the three major trends of gas-condensate fields: The NW-SE Temsah-Akhen Trend (e.g., Ha py, Akhen, Temsah, Wakar, Port Fouad Marine PFM, etc...); The NNW-SSE Abu Madi Trend (e.g., Baltim North, Baltim East, Baltim South, Abu Madi, etc ); and the NE-SW Rosetta Trend (e.g. Sienna, Simian, Saphire, Taurus, etc ). The fields of these trends comprise combination structural/stratigraphic traps involving sandstone reservoirs of Pliocene and/or Miocene age.

These oil occurrences comprise the Mango-1 sub-commercial oil discovery (drilled by Total in 1985 and tested BOPD from the Lower Cretaceous sandstones) and the Tineh-1 subcommercial oil discovery (drilled by IEOC in 1981 and tested with light oil recovery from the sandstones of the Oligocene). In addition to these oil occurrences, the area of the offered blocks includes some recent Oligocene gas-condensate accumulations with commercial value (e.g. Satis & Notus). The 8 offered blocks are situated in an area with well-established infrastructure for gas-condensate production/transportation, connecting the offshore producing fields with the onshore terminals.

4 Nile Delta Basin & Offshore North Sinai - Regional Framework The eight (8) offered blocks are all situated in the Nile Delta Basin, except for Block 1 which lies Offshore North Sinai, at the eastern periphery of the basin with the Pelusium Line crossing the southern part of the block. The Pelusium Line comprises a NE-SW shear lineament separating the Sinai Plate to the south from the Levant Plate to the north Offshore North Sinai occupies the 3 southeastern Mediterranean region and constitutes the southern part of the Levant Plate. It comprises the northern extension of Offered Blocks Gas Fields/Discoveries Major Fault Trends the Syrian Arc inversion Development Lease Area Gas-Condensate Fields/Discoveries Minor Faults structures; such structures comprise large buried inversion anticlines initiated in the Late Mesozoic and continued slightly during the Cenozoic, and formed NE-trending asymmetrical folds. One of these buried anticlinal structures, located to the east of Block 1, was drilled by the Mango-1 well in The well was tested and flowed oil at a rate of BOPD from the Lower Cretaceous sandstones. However, after appraisal drilling, Total decided not to develop the discovery due to sub-commerciality. Despite being of sub-commercial value, the well results indicate the presence of a working hydrocarbon system with oil generation in the area.

5 The Nile Delta Basin is mainly a gas and condensate province with numerous fields made up of combination structural /stratigraphic traps involving sandstone reservoirs of Pliocene and/or Miocene age. Some oil occurrences have also been found in the basin and recent offshore drilling operations are mainly targeting the deeper Oligocene section. Such drilling operations resulted in a number of yet to be developed gas-condensate finds with substantial hydrocarbon resources in sandstone reservoirs of Oligocene age. The Nile Delta Basin straddles the present day Mediterranean shoreline and embraces the farmed lands of the onshore Nile Delta in its southern part and extends offshore till latitude N. About 70% of its areal extent lies offshore in water depths up to 2800 m. The basin overlies the passive margin of northeast Africa with depth to basement reaching 9 to 10 km. The onshore sector of the Nile Delta Basin is crossed by an E-W striking narrow zone (Hinge Zone) of down-to-the-north rotated fault blocks. This zone marks the transition from thick, normal continental crust in the south, to extended continental crust under both the northern onshore Delta and (probably) the entire offshore sector of the basin. The southwestern part of the Nile Delta Basin overlies the eastern extension of the Northern Egypt Basin, while its southeastern portion overlies part of the Syrian Arc province. The offshore sector of the Nile Delta Basin comprises two principal structural trends; the NE-SW Qattara-Eratosthenes (Rosetta) Fault Trend and the NW-SE Misfaq-Bardawil (Temsah) Fault Trend. The Rosetta Fault Trend forms part of a longer fault system extending from the Qattara Depression (southwest of the Nile Delta) to the Eratosthenes Seamount at the northeast corner of the basin. The Misfaq-Bardawil trend is the most obvious expression of the NW-SE trend, which was active later, in the Pliocene, in a strike-slip sense, triggering salt movement and controlling sedimentation patterns. These two major fault trends, the Rosetta and Temsah, are controlling the distribution of significant gas-condensate fields and discoveries (e.g. the Rosetta and Temsah trends of gas-condensate fields/discoveries). In addition to the three major fault trends (the E-W trend of the Hinge Zone, the NE-SW Rosetta Trend and the NW-SE Temsah Trend), the Nile Delta Basin comprises a NNW-SSE Trend known as the Gulf of Suez (GOS) Trend. This fault trend is controlling the distribution of the Abu Madi Trend of gas-condensate fields.

6 Nile Delta Basin - Generalized Stratigraphic Column The nature of the basement beneath the sedimentary succession of the Nile Delta Basin is almost entirely unknown. The prospective section starts with Mesozoic strata (including potential source rocks) at the base, probably resting on crystalline basement. The Mesozoic succession represents a rifted passive margin, formed at the opening of the Neo-Tethys Ocean in the Late Triassic to Early Jurassic. Late Cretaceous to Early Tertiary dextral transpression generated the NE-SW trending structures of the Syrian Arc system. Passive margin sedimentation, mainly clastics but with some platform carbonates in the Eocene, continued through the Paleogene. Sedimentation rates increased in the Late Oligocene or Early Miocene, with northward tilting associated with opening of the Red Sea and Gulf of Suez to the south. Outbuilding of coastal and deltaic sediments was interrupted by the Mediterranean-wide sea level lowering in the Messinian (latest Miocene), when a deep and extensive canyon system was incised into the earlier strata. Filling of the canyon with fluvial sands of the Abu Madi Formation took place as base levels rose again at the end of the Miocene. Evaporites were deposited at about the same time, to seaward; they include several kilometers thickness of salt in the deep water sector of the basin, and thin anhydrites nearer to shore. Plio-Pleistocene outbuilding of the delta resumed, towards its present-day configuration. Offshore environments included slope channels that conducted large volumes of reservoir-quality sands away from the shelf into deeper water fan systems.

Targets) The Nile Delta Basin is a gas and condensate province, with only small amounts of oil. The youngest (Plio-Pleistocene) accumulations are of dry gas only; proportions of condensate (and minor oil) increase with the age of the reservoir. This has led to speculation that at least some of the gas may be of biogenic origin, generated from the Pliocene Kafr El Sheikh Formation. This is partly supported by analytical data, though another possibility is that the gas has been derived by some kind of fractionation process (possibly biologicallymediated) from deeper accumulations. Whether or not this is so, there is also evidence that Oligocene and Lower Miocene shales have sourced some of the basin's hydrocarbons, probably reaching thermal maturity in the Pliocene. Jurassic and Cretaceous source rocks, as in the Northern Egypt Basin, are also likely to have contributed, though the evidence is less direct.

8 MIOCENE EGAS Nile Delta Basin Reservoirs & Seals Proven reservoirs, with known accumulations, extend from Oligocene to Pleistocene in age; all are sands or sandstones. Pliocene reservoirs (Kafr El Sheikh and El Wastani formations) have recently proved to be exceptionally prolific and of very high quality; they include slope-channel sands and deep water fan sands. Upper Miocene reservoirs of the Abu Madi and Qawasim formations are mainly fluvial and were formed in the incised valley system of the Messinian sea level lowstand. The Middle to Upper Miocene Sidi Salim Formation includes good quality sands at several levels, notably near the top (the Wakar Member); sands formed in a range of environments from distributary channels to slope channels and fan-delta. The Lower to Middle Miocene Qantara Formation has recently been shown also to be potentially important, with the Raven 1 discovery; the sands are of shallow marine origin. Seals in the basin are mainly shales, and predominantly intraformational. Upper Miocene (Messinian) anhydrite (Rosetta Member) forms the seal in only a very small number of cases, but the equivalent thick halites may prove to be important as seals in the further offshore sector of the basin.

9 Nile Delta Basin - Plays Approximately 75% of known reserves have been found in combination traps, with both stratigraphic and structural elements. Channelized sands, intraformationally encased in and sealed by shales, typically form the stratigraphic element, whether the deposit is fluvial (as in the Messinian Abu Madi Formation) or of slope-channel or fan delta origin (as in the Pliocene Kafr El Sheikh Formation). The structural element is generally either one or more sealing faults (including growth faults), or a structural culmination over which the reservoir is draped.
