AIM; LGO

Company Statement

Leni Gas & Oil Plc is a newly incorporated company that has been established by its shareholders to identify and acquire a number of projects in the oil and gas sector with particular emphasis on projects that are in production or with previously explored hydrocarbons. Such may be acquired by direct investment, or by acquiring all or part of an existing or newly formed company or business; in each case, the company intends to be an active investor.

Operations and Technology

Leni Gas and Oil plc’s strategy is focused on enhancing the value of existing oil and gas producing assets, where it can maximise equity position, operator influence, exploitation potential, and fiscal stability. It operates a low risk portfolio of stable production assets with significant upside using similar operating approaches to leverage technologies and proven secondary recovery techniques.

Since its incorporation in 9 August 2006, the Company has been fulfilling this strategy and investing in acreage in a number of the prime oil producing regions of the world. LGO has secured exploration areas in the US Gulf of Mexico, Spain, Trinidad, Hungary and Malta. All geographical regions in which the Company has invested an interest have proven track records in the production of hydrocarbons and represent a great opportunity to further develop and maximize shareholder value.

US
Byron Energy (28.94 per LGO), Gulf Of Mexico

Byron Energy gross interests include 25 per cent WI in the Eugene Island block 183, 25 WI in block 184 south (including 184A production facilities), 12.5 per cent WI in block 184 north and 10.37 per cent WI in block 172. The Eugene Island asset is located 50 miles offshore Louisiana in approximately 25m of water with production facilities designed to handle 30mmscfd, 10mbopd and 10mbwpd.

LGO has also acquired a 20 per cent direct working interest (16.25 per cent net revenue post royalty) in Ship Shoal block 180 and South Marsh Island block 6 in the shallow offshore US Gulf Coast.

Spain
Ayoluengo Oilfield (100 per cent LGO)

The Ayoluengo oil field ( 104-116 mmbo STOIIP estimated) has only recovered 17mmbo to date (low recovery factor, ~17 per cent), with wells producing dry oil (37deg API) and reservoir lacking pressure to sustain higher production. No proven enhanced oil recovery methods have been used to energise the reservoir, such as water flood despite successful trials by Repsol. Similarly no modern geological re-interpretation was conducted on the field to identify enhancement opportunities until recently by LGO

Halo Acreage –Exploration and Development (85 per cent LGO)

Combined acreage of 556 sq km with numerous undeveloped oil and gas discoveries
Contingent and prospective resources of mean 13 mmboe reserves
Major re-interpretation underway to qualify prospects.

Hungary
Penészlek Development Area (7.27 per cent LGO)

A Miocene discovery which produced 3.5 bcf in 1980’s, has remaining 19.4 bcf potential in Miocene and additional 2.3 bcf in Pannonian sands. Re-development of the field is centred on the Pen-104 discovery which commenced first gas production in August 2008 at 4mmscfd.

New gas gathering and processing facilities at the Pen-104 well-site have been installed with connection to the nearby gas transportation grid operated by MOL. All sales gas are handled by MOL.

Zala Basin (West Hungary), Enhanced Recovery Gas Development, Hungary

Zala Basin agreement (50/50) between MOL (Operator) and Joint Venture Partners to enhance gas production of multiple tight gas fields. MOL provides gas gathering, treatment and export facilities with the Joint Venture Partners responsible for the enhanced recovery development.

A phased development approach is planned to validate the incremental recovery methods and to increase chance of success in deeper reservoir stacks. The recovery method re-develops each operating well with new horizontal completions in each reservoir stack. Once the development approach is proven, other reservoirs have been identified in the Zala Basin for repeated development through a MOL option agreement.

Trinidad
Icacos Oilfield (50 per cent LGO)

8 sq km onshore oilfield in SW Peninsula, 15 km from Venezuela coastline and in the middle of prolific East Venezuelan oil basin
Mature shallow oil production of 35bpd, producing since 1966 with 28 API oil
Production enhancement programme underway to lift production to – 150 bpd
Full data re-interpretation underway to identify step change production potential and identify “ sweet spot” production zones.

Malta
Malta Southern Offshore (10 per cent LGO)

High potential exploration play in highly prospective oil and gas basin in proximity to Tunisia and Libya active petroleum basins.
Major seismic interpretation executed on the 5,700 sq km PSC area
Identified four prospects and five leads with gross mean 2P STOIIP of 5 billion barrels and recoverable reserves of 1.475 billion barrels.
PSC signed with the Maltese government to drill a well on Area 4 (South Offshore Malta) to depth of 2,500m. Currently targeting hugh chance of success drilling locations.
