OPERATIONS REVIEW
INDIA
CAMBAY FIELD, Gujarat
(Oilex Operator - 45%)
The purpose of the 2008 Cambay Field drilling program comprising 6 consecutive
appraisal /development wells is to gather detailed lithological and reservoir
fluid information in the Cambay Field. In combination with the high quality 3D
seismic survey over the block and the extensively reworked data from over 60
old wells, Oilex anticipates that the information from the new wells will
provide a comprehensive basis for certification of oil and gas reserves at the
level of the Oligocene and the Eocene main potential reservoir units and any
of the exploration targets that may prove to contain hydrocarbons.
The first two wells in the program have been concluded and the third well is
drilling ahead. Cambay 23Z, the first in the sequence spudded on 07 March 2008
and was suspended as an intended future gas well. The second well, Cambay-19Z
is an oil discovery at the level of the Basal EP IV sandstone. A further
interval of 12 metres with similar log response will be tested with a workover
rig at the earliest opportunity. The results to date are very encouraging for
the broader potential of the deeper zones.
The resources for the two main intervals Oligocene OS II and Eocene EP IV have
been estimated from the existing data base of wells and 3D seismic and
presented in the table below. These estimates do not include oil or gas that
may be found in both shallower and deeper potential reservoirs that will be
intersected during the drilling program.

Gross resource estimates (100% basis) calculated in 2007 using the 3D seismic
data set and the existing well data base. Oilex net interest in Cambay PSC is
45%.
All 6 appraisal wells will test the Oligocene and Eocene primary targets and
any of those wells that indicate production potential from these zones may be
suspended for future production of oil or gas. The wells are located to
provide at least one modern data point in each geological compartment
recognised from the 3D seismic data and the existing well data. Four of the
wells will also test deeper exploration targets at the base of the Eocene
section and fractured Deccan basalts that have proven to be oil reservoirs in
the Tarapur block operated by GSPC immediately to the north and on trend with
the Cambay Field.
The database that already exists is comprehensive with over 60 wells drilled
on the block and the reservoir distribution at OS II and to a lesser extent EP
IV, has been mapped with a relatively high degree of confidence. New prospects
at OS II and EP IV particularly in the northern part of the block and at
stratigraphic horizons other than OS II and EP IV including Basal EP IV, are
now being developed with the benefit of the newly acquired well data.
Cambay-19Z Oil Discovery
Cambay-19Z, the second well in the appraisal program is an oil discovery in
the Basal EP IV reservoir. The well spudded on 25 May and was released after
completing the first of a series of planned tests on 09 July 2008. The well
has proven the productive potential of deeper zones on the Western High Block.
These zones were interpreted to be prospective exploration targets and by
comparison with at least 3 older wells that were drilled in the period
1960-1990, there are probable oil zones that were missed in the initial
evaluation. There is, therefore, a good possibility that the Basal EP IV oil
bearing sandstone is present over most of the Western High Block. The volume
of oil for the deeper Eocene (including Basal EP IV) and fractured Deccan
basement objectives was previously estimated at about 60 million barrels oil
in place.
Cambay-23Z and Cambay -19Z Well Bore Schematic Summary - see full report on
Oilex website
The Western High Block is most prospective for oil and the Basin Area most
prospective for gas. The areas are separated by a major fault that trends
approximately north-south controlling the general hydrocarbon distribution.
This is illustrated in the diagram of the well bore trajectory for Cambay-73
that is anticipated to intersect gas in the upper objectives and oil in the
lower objectives.

The gas that has been produced in the past has come from the OS II in wells
that are located mainly in the southern central part of the block. No gas has
been produced from the EP IV in the past.

Cambay-23Z appraisal well
Objectives: Primary: Eocene EP IV - gas
Secondary: Oligocene OS II - gas
Cambay-23 was drilled in 1963 and is reported to have tested gas from
the EP IV zone at rates of 14,500 cubic metres per day through a 5mm
choke. The appraisal well Cambay-23Z was designed to intersect the
primary target about 200 metres from the same zone in the initial well
in the area of a strong amplitude anomaly
Status: Spud date: 07 March 2008
Rig Release Date: 26 April 2008
Total Depth: 2,100 metres in Cambay Shale Formation
Well Status: Suspended gas well with gas shows in OS II and EP IV.
Operations: Cambay-23Z was drilled as a deviated well in a northeasterly direction
from the original well pad. Cores were cut in the EP IV with the aim of
providing information that would be beneficial in designing a fracture
stimulation of low permeability formation. A fracture stimulation will
be designed and implemented when the last of the core data are received.
Results: Good gas shows were recorded while drilling the Miocene and Oligocene
secondary objectives in this well. The evaluation of the wireline logs
over the Basal Miocene and Oligocene OS II intersected at 1,505 metres
and 1,545 metres respectively indicates the presence of about 9 metres
of gas-bearing pay in these sandstones that are of good reservoir
quality, each with about 25% average porosity.
Cores were cut in the EP IV and wireline logs were run over the Eocene
section. Indications from logs are that the EP IV is gas-bearing and a
cased-hole DST will be conducted over the interval 1,961m - 2,005m when
core results become available and a fracture stimulation program is
formalised. Cambay-23Z well has been completed as a potential gas
production well
Cambay-19Z appraisal well
Objectives: Primary: Oligocene OS II - gas
Eocene EP III and EP IV - oil
Secondary: Basal EP IV - oil
Miocene Basal Sandstone - gas
Deccan Fractured Basement - oil
Status: Spud date: 14 May 2008
Rig Release Date: 09 July 2008
Total Depth: 2,350 metres in Deccan Trap basement
Well Status: Suspended oil and gas discovery awaiting
further testing of Basal EP IV oil zone and EP III and EP
IV zones that were drilled with good gas shows. A cost
effective workover rig has been contracted to undertake
the further testing.
The drilling rig has demobilized from C-19Z to Cambay-73
location.
Operations: DST #2 will be carried out over an interval of 16 metres
of potential oil pay below the zone that was tested by DST
#1.
DST #3 will be conducted over an interval of about 23
metres at the EP III and EP IV where good gas shows were
recorded while drilling and the zone is expected to flow
oil by analogy with other wells on the Western High Block
of Cambay Field.
DST #4 will be conducted at the shallower level of the OS
II reservoir unit depending on the results of the DST's at
the deeper levels. Strong gas shows were recorded at the
OS II level while drilling. In the event that the well is
retained as an oil producer, the OS II will not be tested
in this well.
Results: DST #1 successfully flowed oil to surface at a rate of
over 800 barrels of oil per day (BOPD) for the first hour
of the test and later stabilised at a rate of 120 BOPD on
1" choke during the final phase of the 32 hour flow
period. No formation water has been produced with the oil
which is 410 - 430 API gravity.
The Basal EP IV zone is present in at least three old
wells on the Western High Block. These old wells were
either not tested or were poorly evaluated and appear to
have a similar log response to the zone that was
successfully tested in Cambay-19Z. Preliminary indications
from seismic and the analogous well logs are that the
Basal EP IV may extend across the Western High Block.
For each of the 6 wells in the Cambay program, it is generally intended to
demobilise the rig from each location as soon as drilling and logging
operations are completed. Further tests on each well will be conducted with a
wireline unit that has the capability to undertake the full range of
activities that may be required to test the wells conclusively at a much
lesser day rate..
Approval Received for Additional Well Locations
The Ministry of Environment and Forests (MOEF), Government of India, gave its
formal approval in May to the proposal by the Cambay Joint Venture to drill up
to 60 additional development wells within the Cambay block in the event that
re-development of the Cambay Field is warranted by the current 6 well
appraisal drilling program.
With the flexibility to construct new drilling sites, the opportunity now
exists to test other prospects at different stratigraphic levels in other
areas of the block that have high potential for gas and oil discoveries.
Sabarmati Field, Gujarat
(Oilex Operator - 40%)
No further work has been carried out in the past quarter. Intermittent
production of oil continues from Sabarmati-1.
Bhandut Field, Gujarat
(Oilex Operator - 40%)
No further work has been carried out in the past quarter. Oil continues to be
produced intermittently from existing wells.
Indonesia
West Kampar PSC, Central Sumatra
(Oilex - 45%)
The resource estimate for Pendalian Field has been upgraded to 13.7 million
barrels oil in place, with 1,800-2,000 bopd production anticipated in Q4 2008.
A Plan of Development (POD) including an updated resource assessment for the
Pendalian Oil Field (Oilex 45%) located in the West Kampar Production Sharing
Contract ("PSC") area in Indonesia (Fig. 1) is being submitted to the
Indonesian Government for approval. The POD is based on a Best Estimate
Contingent Resource of 13.7 million barrels oil in place (mmstboip) (Table 1).
The represents an increase of 14% on the resource announced previously which
was based on a single oil reservoir.
The objective of the POD is to bring Pendalian Field into production in 2
phases comprising 2 wells in phase 1 and full field development of 3-4 wells
in phase 2. The previous plan was to start production at a likely rate of
about 1,200 barrels of oil per day ("bopd") from a single well, Pendalian-3.
The first phase has now been expanded to include a second well, Pendalian-4
with a corresponding increase in the likely production rate to 1,800 - 2,000
bopd anticipated in Q4 2008.

As required in Indonesia, the technical studies are carried out by an
independent third party appointed by the regulator (BPMigas) with input and
review by personnel from the operator, PT Sumatera Persada Energi (SPE), and
BPMigas. Oilex has also been participating in this process.
The development plan is based on results from the Pendalian-1 well drilled in
1993 and the Pendalian-3 appraisal well which was drilled, tested and
suspended as a future oil production well in November 2007. Pendalian-3,
funded by Oilex as part of the farmin arrangement with SPE, flowed oil at
potentially commercial rates from two shallow zones in the Sihapas Sandstone.
The commingled flow potential with artificial lift was estimated to be up to
1,200 barrels per day.
Location Map West Kampar Production Sharing Contract Area - see full report on
Oilex website
To date, significant conclusions arising from this independent evaluation are:
- Inversion studies of the seismic data indicate that the Sihapas sands are
continuous reservoirs, supporting the volumetric assumptions for the Pendalian
Field.
- The Best Estimate Contingent Resource of oil-in-place determined by the
independent third party for the two Sihapas zones is 13.7 mmstboip (gross),
with a High Estimate volume of 29 mmstboip (gross). These volumes are similar
to those determined by both SPE and Oilex.
- A staged approach to the development, with initial production from the
Pendalian-3 well followed by Pendalian-4 production well, 3D seismic and full
field development was recommended, subject to approval by the Indonesian
Ministry of Petroleum.

Remaining POD requirements are being finalised by the third party adviser to
BPMigas prior to submission to the Indonesian authorities. The recommended
development schedule, subject to regulatory approval, calls for both
Pendalian-3 and Pendalian-4 to be onstream in Q4 2008.
Plans are in place for the early drilling of the Pendalian-4 well and tenders
have been received for conducting both 2D and 3D seismic programs in the West
Kampar block in 2008. Ongoing mapping has confirmed the exploration potential
of the West Kampar PSC which will be delineated by additional seismic coverage
and investigated with the drilling of 3 exploration wells in a campaign
scheduled to commence later this year.
Oman
Block 56, South Oman
(Oilex Operator - 25%)
Drilling operations commenced in Oman at the end of 2007 and 3 wells were
drilled in the first phase, 2 of which were oil discoveries. The rig was
released for a period after the third well to enable results to be evaluated
before the second phase of 4 wells, which is anticipated to commence in August
2008.
The results of the Phase 1 drilling program in Block 56, Oman have been very
encouraging with the Sarha-1 well likely to be a commercial discovery.
Prospects selected for the 3 well program were based on the interpretation of
existing seismic data and provided a balance of exploration targets ranging
from moderate (Sarha-1, Ghadaq-1) to high risk (Alyanbou-1).
The Sarha-1 discovery well confirmed that the productive trend in the adjacent
block continues into Block 56. New seismic acquisition and reprocessing of
existing data indicates that there is a number of structures similar to
Sarha-1 present in the western flank area of Block 56 and the most prospective
of these will be the locations for several of the wells in the Phase 2
drilling campaign. It is anticipated that further drilling will be carried out
on the Sarha discovery to evaluate the potential of oil zones not able to be
tested in Sarha-1 and to provide information required for development of the
Al Khlata oil pool discovery.
Preliminary estimates of the discovered petroleum initially in place based on
the current data range from 20 to 70 million barrels (on a 100% basis). Given
the characteristics of the oil recovered at Sarha-1 there will also be a focus
on establishing the recoverable reserves volume and specialists in this type
of development are studying the data from Sarha-1 to estimate the recoverable
volumes and to provide input to a development plan.
Heavy oil (preliminary oil gravity of 13.30 API) was recovered during testing
of the Al Khlata zone in the Ghadaq-1 well and these results will also be the
focus of review given that oil with these characteristics is routinely
produced in Oman and in other heavy oil areas.
The results from Alyanbou-1 which was a higher risk test of a large anticlinal
structure in a remote area of the block will be incorporated into the overall
prospectivity assessment.
Background
The South Oman Salt Basin is a prolific oil producing province with extensive
pipeline infrastructure linking the producing fields to the refining and
export facilities in the north of the country. The oil produced from these
fields is characteristically heavier with density in the range 150 - 280 API
gravity. All of the 7 reservoir objectives drilled in the first 2 wells appear
to be oil-bearing and preliminary studies on the feasibility of producing the
heavy oil are now in progress.
Well Location Map Block 56 - see full report on Oilex website
Location and Infrastructure Map - see full report on Oilex website
Several of the fields in this area hold over 1 billion barrels of oil in
place. Most of these fields were discovered by PDO during the last 20 years.
The most recent large field development to take place in the region is Oxy's
Mukhaizna Field which is reported to be over 2 billion barrels of oil in place
and which will be produced by steam flood to improve the flow characteristics
of the 150 API gravity oil.
The Sarha and Ghadaq prospects, like many others in the western part of the
block, are similar in structural form and reservoir objectives to the nearby
producing fields operated by PDO. The pipeline network from those producing
fields in the main part of the South Oman Salt Basin is only about 30 km to
the west from Sarha-1.

Comment: The well was classed as a frontier exploration well. It
was located in the northeastern sector of the block about
60 km from the nearest well control, to the east of the
major structural lineament in the Tertiary Basin where no
wells had previously been drilled.
Seismic Acquisition
Preparations for tender of the 3D seismic acquisition program have been
completed. Acquisition is expected to start in Q4.
Joint Petroleum Development Area Between Timor Leste and Australia
JPDA 06-103, FLAMINGO BASIN OFFSHORE JOINT PETROLEUM DEVELOPMENT AREA
(Oilex Operator - 25%)
The first phase of offshore operations has commenced in the Block JPDA 06-103,
located in the Timor Sea JPDA between Timor-Leste and Australia. The Geowave
Champion seismic vessel has completed its clearances and is acquiring the
extensive, high resolution Maura 3D marine seismic program over an area of
2,082 km2. Data from this survey will be combined with existing 3D seismic
surveys to provide 3D seismic coverage over more than 90% of the area of the
Block. Processing of the data is expected to be concluded about the end of
2008 and the interpretation of the data over the entire block is anticipated
to be completed by about end of March 2009. Locations for exploration wells
will then be selected for drilling starting about mid-year 2009.
To that end, on 13 June 2008 Oilex issued a conditional Notice of Award
jointly with Nexus to Sedco Forex International for the supply of the
Transocean Legend semi submersible drilling rig. The rig would drill
development wells for Nexus before 2 wells for Oilex, estimated to start in
about mid-year 2009. Oilex has accordingly made application, on behalf of the
JPDA Block 06-103 Joint Venture, seeking an extension of time under the PSC to
enable its 2 wells to be drilled by January 2010 rather than by January 2009.
The application is under review by the relevant governmental authorities.
New Discovery - In April of this year, a significant oil discovery at Kitan-1
and -2 was made by ENI, the operator of block JPDA 06-105 (adjacent to the
west of JPDA 06-103). The Kitan-1 discovery well flowed oil at a rate of 6,100
BOPD from a drillstem test. The discovery was followed by an appraisal well at
Kitan-2 that confirmed the commercial viability. These wells lie close to the
JPDA 06-103 block boundary and confirm the oil potential of the basin.
ENI subsequently made a Declaration of Commercial Discovery and the Timor Sea
Designated Authority based in Dili, Timor-Leste declared Kitan a Development
Area in May.
