Production sharing contracts (PSCs) held by Petromanas Onshore blocks covered by the PSCs
Kilometres of 2D seismic over the 6 Blocks Giant sub-thrust structures identified on Petromanas acreage Existing oil fields on blocks 2 & 3. Includes the largest onshore oil field in Europe (P50 OOIP: 5.7 billion barrels), Patos Marinza, operated by Bankers Petroleum Ltd.**
**Petromanas has the right to explore and produce oil below and adjacent to the existing oil fields.
Sub-thrust Reservoirs
Petromanas blocks cover an oil rich fold and thrust belt (FTB) known as the Kurveleshi Belt that trends from NW to SE Albania The primary exploration targets are conventional exploration targets involving sub-thrust fractured carbonate reservoirs similar to those discovered in the 1990s in the Apennines of Italy FTBs are estimated to contain 14% of known and undiscovered global hydrocarbons and 28% of the worlds giant fields have been found in FTBs Advances in seismic imaging, structural modelling and fracture characterisation are helping to mitigate the technical risks that held back FTB exploration in the past
Occidental (Oxy) operated Blocks 2 & 3 from 1998 to 2005 Area: 851,031 acres Oxy Shpiragu-1 well tested light oil from the Eocene Upper Cretaceous fractured limestones of the Ionian zone in Block 2
The Shpiragu oil discovery verified the geological model
Blocks 2 & 3 contain 9 existing oil fields in the upperthrust sheets Seismic data:
2,200 km 2D (Albpetrol, 1975 1992) 156 km 2D (Oxy 1998) 220 km 2D (Oxy 2003)
Available data indicates the Shpiragu sub-thrust structure extends south over block 3
Petromanas is currently reprocessing available data and acquiring 128 km of new 2D seismic Expected drilling cost for a Shpiragu well is US$22-24 million Shpiragu-1 Well Site
