USGS Predict 6 Giant Oilfields • USGS estimate 15.3 billion barrels oil 42 tcf gas • ranked 2nd as under explored basin • estimate 117 oil fields • 24 elephants > 100 million barrels • of which 6 are giants > 500 million barrels Guyana/SurinameBasin Venezuela Guyana Suriname
Mean Undiscovered Conventional Oil Source: United States Geological ServiceWorld Petroleum Supply 2000
Regional Activity • Trinidad • 24 tcf reserves • Deltana Platform • 38 - 80 tcf potential • 5 new concessions • $41 mm bonuses • Tambaredjo • OOIP 900 billion barrels • 174 billion barrels recoverable
Land Rig - Tambaredjo • 14,000 bopd • 625 wells • Drilling 75 wells per year
Our Concessions • 6.6 mm acres gross • 4.5 mm acres net • Corentyne Block (100%) • Offshore • Eagle • Wishbone • Annex • Onshore • Georgetown Block (25%)
Area of Overlapping Border Claims • Guyana claims a border of N33E • Suriname claims a border of N10E • Inability to resolve differences has frozen exploration in the basin
Bilateral Negotiations not Progressing • Impediments to a Bilateral Solution • “strength of feeling by the respective populations • the firm and apparently intractable positions adopted by both sides • the history of past efforts” • “Easier for the people of both countries to accept settlement terms, which are arrived at by processes and procedures, regarded as independent and/or which employ a judicial approach” (Rashleigh Jackson)
A Logical Resolution • For maritime space • both countries are signatories to and have ratified the UN Law of the Sea Convention • Where complications such as islands do not exist, this process can be fairly expedient • For land boundary • the OAS has a mechanism for helping member states to solve border problems
Regional Benefit of Awakening Giant1 Giant – Would Double Guyana’s GDP • Assumptions • 500 million bbls • 50 million bbls/year • US$ 20 per bbl Source: Bank of Guyana to end 1999
1 Giant – Would Double Gov’t Revenue Year 1 of production gov’t revenue ~ US$ 100 million Year 5 of production gov’t revenue ~ US$ 400 million Does not include tax on workers and services

Technical Risk– Exploring for Turbidite Giants • Source rock / timing – 95% • Seal – 75% • Reservoir – 50% • Structure – 75% • Oil vs gas – 75% • Overall Probability of Success – 20%
Source Rock & Timing – 95% • Canje Formation • 2-6% TOC • > 300 metres thick • mature – 95% in oil window • oil in Tambaredjo typed to Canje Source • equivalent age to La Luna source rock in Venezuela
Seal – 75% • Abary #1 • 6000’ shale seal • 23‘ turbidite sand • mud kick at 2000 bpd • 34.5o API oil in mud • Shell drilled in 1974 • Eagle and Wishbone • seismic tied to Abary • turbidite sand thickness greater than 600 feet
Reservoir – 50% • main risk is sand quality • over 5000’ onshelf sand in Horseshoe #1; • Oligocene turbidite fans: Eagle and Wishbone; • Turonian source rock: mature Canje formation over 300’ thick • Miocene seal: over 6000’ of shale in Abary #1
Structure – 75% • Top of fan at Eagle and Wishbone marked by coincident amplitude and AVO anomalies; • Flat spot is interpreted as oil-water contact; • Draping in Miocene shales is observable • Eagle anomaly is about 13 km in width and Wishbone about 7 km; • Eagle defined on 8 other strike lines at 2 km intervals. Eagle Wishbone
Oil vs Gas – 75% • Abary #1 tested oil • buoyancy considerations over 1700 feet of structure • Amplitude and AVO anomalies terminate simultaneously at interpreted oil-water contact and at updip pinchout on paleo-shelf; • Eagle anomaly is over 15 km in length.
Turbidite Fan Targets– 20% Probability of Success • Geological model equivalent to Campos Basin, Brazil • Similar age to turbidite reservoirs in East Venezuela Basin and Trinidad • “Giant” and “near-giant” size
