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.

ULTRA DEEP ZONE SUMMARY SCHEMATIC OF HYDROCARBON PLAYS IN THE DEEPWATER
ULTRA DEEP ZONE TOTAL 2D acquisition: 10,000 Km 2006 acquisition 2009 acquisition
ULTRA DEEP ZONE Two sensors are better than one
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
ULTRA DEEP ZONE How confident are you to drill these prospects?

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.
