Title: Oilbarrel Conference

  • Oilbarrel Conference
  • 1 April 2009

The Turnaround
  • Strong exploration base 1 Billion BOE resources
    in FSU
  • New focus on Africa (acquisitions and options)
  • Cameroon Logbaba project will be the significant
    driver of the turnaround
  • Capacity to turn VOG into a profitable company
    with first commercial deliveries expected by 1H
    2010
  • Net 2P of 65Bcf attributed to only a tiny portion
    of the licence, with significant upside
  • All wells drilled penetrated multiple gas
    reservoirs with high flow rates, some over
    60Mmcf/d
  • Focus on production (revenue) in Africa
    complements FSU long-term exploration/appraisal
    potential

Development of Logbaba field to be run from
existing office in Douala

centre of Kazakhstan
Main office to be moved to Orenburg to
facilitate pursuit of opportunities in the region

Logbaba, Cameroon
  • Bramlins key asset is a farm-in for 60 of the
    Logbaba natural gas and condensate project in
    Cameroon
  • Logbaba is located in the northern Douala Basin
    within the eastern suburbs of Douala, the
    economic capital of Cameroon
  • Four wells were drilled in the 1950s, all
    encountering gas three were tested at between
    12Mmcf/d and 62Mmcf/d

Logbaba Reserves and Valuation
  • RPS Energy undertook an evaluation of limited
    section of the Logbaba field in July 2008
  • Using the data provided, they determined 14Mmboe
    of 2P reserves with an NPV10 valuation of 169Mm

RPS review area (6km2) 10 of block

Logbaba Development Plan
  • PHASE 1 Gas production to serve existing
    contracts
  • Drill and test a twin to Well 104 down to 10,000
    ft
  • Production expected to be min. 12Mmcf/d against
    current local industrial demand of 8Mmcf/d
  • Install surface facilities
  • 12Mmcf/d capacity gas processing facility
  • 15 km, 10 pipeline to the industrial users
  • Sell gas to industrial market in Douala
  • Letters of intent already signed with potential
    customers for a total of 8Mmcf/d at an indicative
    price of 16/mcf
  • A study by Tradex in partnership with SNH
    indicates initial demand increasing to over
    25MMcf/d within 5 years
  • PHASE 2 Gas to additional clients and swing
    production
  • Drill second well to increase production to meet
    expected industrial demand of gt25Mmcf/d
  • Provide swing production for users and new
    consumers

Cameroon Gas Market
10-Yr Gas Demand Forecast
  • Most fuels currently imported
  • VOG has signed gas off-take agreements and
    letters of intent for 8Mmcf/d
  • The indicative price is set at 16/MmBTU
    (15/mcf)
  • A study by Tradex estimates demand to increase to
    25Mmcf/d within 5 years
  • A gas-fired power station could initially
    increase demand by up to 25Mmcf/d

Exploration Potential
  • The Logbaba project is complemented by VOGs
    portfolio of exploration options in Africa and
    assets in the FSU offering significant upside
    potential
  • West Medvezhye in Siberia has independently
    assessed prospective resources of over 1.1Bnboe
    of gas, condensate and light oil for the 1,220km2
    licence area
  • First discovery well was completed in late 2007
  • Field located in the largest gas producing region
    on Earth
  • In September 2008, VOG acquired an option to
    acquire Falcon Petroleum, an EP company with
    PSAs over 45,000km2 in Ethiopia and Mali
  • Virgin exploration territory, but with good
    geological leads and oil seeps

10
11
West Medvezhye, Russia
  • West Med lies adjacent to the super-giant
    Medvezhye field and about 120km from Urengoy,
    currently the worlds largest gas and gas
    condensate field
  • VOG has successfully completed a passive seismic
    survey over an area surrounding discovery Well
    103
  • The results of the survey will be correlated to
    the existing subsurface interpretation to confirm
    the location of the next well to be drilled in
    2010/11

Kemerkol, Kazakhstan
  • The Kemerkol project has State-classified oil
    reserves and resources of
  • C1 8.7 Mmbbl
  • C2 26.3 Mmbbl
  • C3 25.1 Mmbbl
  • Production from the field is temporarily
    suspended following illegitimate ownership
    dispute
  • In March 2009 Kazakh General Prosecutor has sent
    a letter of protest to the highest court in
    Atyrau supporting VOG
  • Judgement won against the former owner in High
    Court
  • VOG preparing 30M damages claim

Falcon Petroleum, Mali and Ethiopia
  • VOG has signed a 12 month option to acquire the
    assets of Falcon Petroleum
  • Falcon has a 50 interest in the PSA for Block 17
    in Mali and 90 of PSA over Blocks Ab1, Ab4 and
    Ab7 in the Blue Nile Basin in Ethiopia
  • Total acreage covers over 45,000km2

In Summary
  • Logbaba represents proven reserves and fast-track
    cash flow generation from a captive market with
    significant expansion potential
  • Positioning in Cameroon power generation market
    can transform VOG into the premier energy
    supplier in the region
  • Exposure to huge hydrocarbon potential of the FSU
    still of primary importance
  • Technical management greatly enhanced through new
    appointments and assumption of existing Bramlin
    team
  • Continuing financial and strategic support of
    Noor Petroleum adds significant advantage during
    economic instability

Mali
Ethiopia
  • Block 17 is located in the Nara Trough, the most
    western of Mali's four sedimentary basins

    thickness may amount to over 14,000m similar to
    the Precaspian Basin in Kazakhstan
  • The Cretaceous reservoir is thought to be similar
    to that of Chad, but the Paleozoic is more
    comparable with Algeria
  • Block 17s location in the narrow and relatively
    elevated part of the Nara Trough
  • Falcon has been involved in a study of the most
    prospective sedimentary basin in Ethiopia Block
    1 covering 150,000km2 including the Blue Nile
    (Abay) Basin
