4 Exploration to date & next step Potential Resource Targets Drilling & Partner Ideal operating environment with local and regional oil & gas markets Petrel acquires concessions in Uruguay MT survey carried out - confirms northwest rift basin Enabled refinement of corehole programme Corehole programme confirms oil generation and active petroleum system Evidence of free oil in coreholes more than 100km apart Results support seismic acquisition programme Seismic programme successfully completed NSAI independently certify the Prospective resource in the Salto and Piedra Sola concessions of up to 910 MMBBL oil and 3.1TCF gas AVO s increase propsectivity Test Prospects with potential for oil and gas Confirm conventional reservoir development and test closures identified from seismic and MT programmes Confirm source rock & maturation modelling to validate resource upside potential Active oil and gas system confirmed and drillable targets identified 4

5 Prerequisites to success are in place Management Experienced team who have done it before. First class technical capabilities Asset Material acreage position encapsulating entire Salto Graben first mover advantage Technical World class source rock World class reservoir rock Darcy permeability measured in core samples Risk Management/Mitigation Diversified portfolio Oil & Gas Conventional & Unconventional Staged appraisal programme Low cost high upside Favourable jurisdiction Low sovereign risk and positive stakeholder support Markets Permeability = 20.5 darcies Local oil refinery currently consumes in excess on 40,000bopd and high regional gas prices Permeability = 30.9 darcies Petrel ticks all the boxes 5

6 Wells to be drilled on existing seismic 4 well conventional programme: multiple wells different targets addresses conventional and unconventional not binary 3 of 4 wells have double objectives opportunity to acquire more of asset Well locations based on results of recent seismic, core and MT analysis 6

7 Overview of conventional Plays Source Rocks The source rocks have good TOCs and maturity consistent with oil generation: Reservoir Rocks Reservoir Rocks with high permeability and porosity have been identified at two horizons ~1,500m and ~3,000m: Mangrullo (Permian) Cordobes (Devonian) TOC: ~5.5% Maturity: Oil TOC: ~3.0% Maturity: Oil- Gas Tres Islas (Permian) Cerrezuelo (Devonian) Thickness: 3-10 meters Porosity: ~24% Permeability: ~120 md Thickness: meters Porosity: ~26% Permeability: > 3,000 md Mangrullo Frayle Muerto Tres Islas La Paloma Salto - Deeper Play - ~3,000-3,500 m deep - 6 leads identified to date - Oil/Condensate prone Mangrullo Salto & Piedra Sola Shallow Play - ~1,500 m deep - 14 leads identified to date - Oil prone Tres Islas La Paloma High quality source and reservoir rocks, with excellent permeability and porosity identified across Permian and Devonian sequences 7

8 4 Well Programme objectives are Confirm source rock maturity, quality & extent resource upside Confirm conventional reservoir quality & extent Darcy permeability (1000+md) already measured in core samples 30km apart While not the primary objective, 3 of 4 wells are also targeting structures for oil and gas trapped in either the same sequence or up-dip of (fluorescence) oil shows and/or oil weeping from core samples Fourth well to test large AVO gas target. 30+ additional AVO s already identified Address key questions of maturity and source rock quality and extent raised by Majors in farmout process Current focus is on shallow targets to minimize costs but significant upside exists at depth 8

A minimum 2 well programme funded 100% by Petrel will still answer key questions and increase Petrel s JV interest. With the new rig in Uruguay future mobilisation charges will be significantly reduced and, if successful, funding for future wells should be achievable at much higher share prices. Note: Petrel expects its partner in Uruguay to fund most or all of its 49% interest in the four well programme but would be able to fully fund rig mobilisation and the J Structure well and Shallow AVO well if required see Max Opt. 2. Both 2 and 4 well programmes will address key questions of maturity and source rock quality and extent raised by Majors in farmout process 9

Gas Pipeline Infrastructure Project Infrastructure Total Areas Brazil Salto Piedra Sola ANCAP Uruguay ANCAP Gas Pipeline Project Gas Pipeline Project Oil Pipeline La Teja Refinery Area 11 BP Uruguay, Argentina and Brazil have gas deficits Uruguay s new Punta del Tigre power consumes ~0.14 bcf/day Buenos Aires consumes ~1.4 bcf/day (and up to 5x in winter peaks) South Brazil consumes ~3.5 bcf/day (50% imported) Buenos Aires Argentina Montevide o Area 12 BP Area 15 Tullow Oil Current Small Scale Area 6 Gas Import Pipelines BP Area 14 Total Area 4 Petrobas Area 3 YPF Onshore Active Block Area 8 BG Area 9 BG Area 13 BG Offshore Active Block ANCAP currently imports in excess of 40,000bopd into the La Teja Refinery in Montevideo 10

11 Management s Project Experience David Casey s time as CEO of Eastern Star Gas (ESG) has shown that small companies can successfully develop very large resource opportunities by progressing the Gunnedah project from a little explored basin to a gas field for potential LNG export. Gunnedah Basin was much like the Norte Basin challenge un Uruguay: Large concession 9.2 million acres Unsuccessfully drilled by US companies years earlier Small company (<$3m cash) with large challenge Raised $234m from shareholders to follow his Gunnedah Basin vision As operator spent $162m on exploration in NSW Australia Tested more than 6 different completion techniques to optimise gas production 11

12 Management s Project Experience Teamed with Hitachi and Toyo Engineering to develop a $2 billion LNG export facility utilising modular design for low cost quick delivery. Submitted approvals to Government for 300 well field development, 300km pipeline and LNG plant Partner ultimately bought project for its own LNG plant Value created over 5 years was $1.4 billion moving much faster than oil majors Management has track record of grassroots project development to completion 12

13 Why invest in Petrel? Positive early results in Uruguay and third party validation of conventional resource potential World class source rocks: based on core holes and field work and lab testing Proof of maturity: based on vitrinite reflectance, maturation modelling and AVOs World class reservoir rock: based on core holes, field work and lab testing Traps and seals: seismic generated leads with interpretation and volumes validated by NSAI NSAI P50 Prospective Resource of 405MMbbl and 1472Bcf in part limited by existing seismic and potentially conservative Very low cost, high upside opportunity to: Take large basin controlling position in a prospective onshore basin Grow resource and attract large partner Increase 51% controlling interest to mitigate dilution Uruguay asset is divisible several different ways, future partners can come into the asset: Conventional or unconventional Salto or Piedra Sola concessions Favourable jurisdiction with ready oil & gas market and transportation options Pipeline of other projects at various stages of exploration and appraisal 13

14 Appendix-1 Why Uruguay? 14

15 Why Uruguay? Asset Country 3.5 million acres provides a basin controlling position in one of Uruguay s most prospective onshore basins NSAI estimated P50 recoverable resource of 405 MMbbl oil and 1.5 TCF of gas in conventional plays Unconventional upside World class reservoir rock high permeability, high porosity, oil shows Attractive regulatory and fiscal regime Large unexplored opportunity in a low risk country 15
