MOVING TO DRILL ALASKA NORTH SLOPE
INVESTOR PRESENTATION
Matthew Allen, Managing Director and CEO
September 2016
Compelling Investment Opportunity
Targeting 650 Million Barrel Prospective Resource (100%) with first 2 wells
-
Proven Light Oil in Conventional Reservoirs
Recent 3D seismic has delineated trapping mechanisms, and legacy wells confirm the presence of light oil in conventional and unconventional reservoirs. Modern recovery techniques such as horizontal drilling and fracture stimulation will assist commercialisation.
-
Large Prospect Inventory
Large inventory of conventional exploration and appraisal drilling candidates confirmed on first ever 3D seismic in this area. The 3D data has been acquired acreage-wide. Latest and largest 3D seismic survey expected to materially enhance the prospect inventory beyond what has already been delineated.
-
Imminent Drill Campaign
Preparing for Q1 2017 and 2018 multi-well campaign. Plan to drill 2-4 wells in 2017 with some wells containing up to 4 target intervals thereby reducing risk and increasing tested volume. Near-term drilling will be keyed off a legacy well which contained oil bearing sands in analogous discoveries nearby.
-
Low-risk Capped Cost Exposure
Otto exposure on first 3 wells limited to US$2.6M/well.
-
Infrastructure Access
Trans-Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS) runs directly through acreage as does the Dalton Highway.
