18 Block 5 History Originally part of Suneinah concession of Gulf-Quintana. BP acquired first modern seismic data in 985. Arakis/Conquest shot 425 km seismic in 99. Jebel Aswad- well drilled in 993/94. Tested (no flow) & suspended. JA- well re-entered in 995. Stimulated and flowed over 200 bbl of 40 deg API oil. Wadi Saylah- drilled in 997. Not tested. Novus reprocessed seismic between GotOil Resources (Oman) Limited secured block on October 23, Tethys Oil AB acquired GotOil (Oman) in May 2006.

19 Block 5 G & G Work Completed Regional Structural Review Investigating Fracture Orientation Source Rock Potential, Sub-Regional Facies Distribution & Models Analogue Fracture and Horizontal Completion Techniques Justification for Appraisal Drilling of Natih and Shuaiba Formations Petrophysical Evaluation of the Jebel Aswad Prospect Seismic Interpretation on 79 2D Seismic Lines in progress Test reprocessing including PSDM and AVO Regional Play and Migration Study

28 Conclusions Regional geological understanding improves fracture and reservoir predictions New seismic reprocessing algorythms enhance fault identification Petrophysical analysis identifies pay zones Drilling technology advances in three areas: horizontal, multi-laterals and under-balanced Horizontal wells cross multiple fracture zones increasing deliverability and recovery Multi-laterals allow production of more than one zone Under-balanced drilling advantages: No reservoir formation damage Instantaneous production information Improved productivity over normal wells Old discovery wells e.g Wadi Rafash, Khamilah, Shams being succesfully developed across region with these techniques Re-entry of Jebel Aswad- to test commerciality with underbalanced horizontal legs of Natih and Shuaiba
