1. LICENCE INFORMATION

Licence Number: P118 and P239

Licence Round: 3rd and 4th Round licences

Licence Type: Traditional

Block Numbers: 3/19a and 3/20a

Total E&P UK Ltd confirms DECC is free to publish this report and that all third party

ownership rights have been considered and appropriately cleared for publication purposes.

2. LICENCE SYNOPSIS

Blocks 3/19 and 3/20 are located in the Quadrant 3 (Q3) in the Northern North Sea (NNS)

south from Dunbar, Ellon-Grant, Jura, Islay fields and the recent Laphroaig discovery.

These blocks include the HC discoveries at Statfjord level 3/19b-2 (Shell – marginal

volumes) & 3/19b-3AZ (Shell – tight), Brent level Forvie Central (FC) and Nuggets 1, 2 and 3

in the Tertiary Frigg Formation (Fm) (Fig. 1).

Both 3/19 and 3/20 blocks were awarded 100% to TEPUK, the 3/19 at the 4th licence round

(P239 license, with expiry in March 2018) and the 3/20 block at the 3rd license round (P118

license, with expiry in June 2016). Due to lack of activity, DECC placed both blocks in

Fallow Category BR7 (previously agreed work plan adjusted). TEPUK had several

extensions, one of which was granted in 2011, based on the fact that our seismic

reprocessing was being run out of Cairo and that the Arab uprising had interrupted work.

After discussion with DECC, TEPUK did propose to relinquish the fallow blocks 3/19a and

3/20a outside the Nuggets and Forvie FDA.

TEPUK as a result relinquished part of the P118 and 239 licences on December 19th 2013.

5. PROSPECTIVITY UPDATE

5.1 Brent Prospects Three Brent prospects have been identified. Insch Upper and Lower Brent, Banchory and Aboyne. Insch UB is the shallowest of these Brent segments with a crest situated at -3920m TVDSS; however, it presents a high seal risk (juxtaposition with Triassic Lumvi sands). In contrast, the deepest Banchory has its crest at -4010m TVDSS (Fig. 4). The main risk is geometry due to poor seismic resolution below BCU. 5.1.1 Insch. Insch Brent prospect is divided into Upper Brent (UB) and Lower Brent (LB)

based on the fact that their crests are located in a different position and consequently the juxtapositions differ. It is located between the Blocks 3/19d & 3/19a (Fig. 1). Insch UB is partially eroded by BCU and intra Upper Jurassic unconformity on the eastern part (Fig. 5). Its crest is located at -3920m TVDSS. The maxi Hydrocarbon-Water Contact (HCWC) has been identified at -4060m and represents the first juxtaposition UB/UB.

On the other hand, Insch LB presents a crest at -3940m TVDSS on the eastern side of the structure. The maxi HCWC has been located at -4060m TVDSS and is controlled by the first potential leak point with UB of north panel (Fig. 6). The MUR is of 1.1Mboe and the PS is 38% (SR:100, M/T:100, R:70, G:60 & S:90%). The MRR is 0.4Mboe.

5.1.2 Banchory. Banchory structure is a one way dip closure against faults/erosion

located on the west side of the block 3/20d (Fig. 1). Its crest is located at -4010m TVDSS. The highest part of the structure has been partially eroded by the BCU. The maxi HCWC represents the first potential leak point UB/UB Juxtaposition through the north bounding fault (Fig. 7). The current evaluation resulted in a MUR of 2.5Mboe and a PS of 32% (SR:100, M/T:100, R:70, G:60 & S:90%). The MRR is 0.8Mboe.

5.2 Statfjord Prospects During the evaluation of Blocks 3/19 and 3/20 Statfjord level, four prospects have been identified (Fig 8). Only two of them, Banchory SW and Insch present MUR above 5Mboe. However, Banchory SW is a very deep prospect with its crest located at -4385m TVDSS, therefore, the probability to find good reservoir quality is very unlikely. In turn, Insch presents a high risk of migration/timing as well as seal. Insch and Banchory prospects are characterized by a Statfjord/Brent sand to sand juxtaposition which represents a high risk in lateral seal. A fault sealing analysis was performed in order to define the maxi case fault seal retention scenario (Figs 9 & 10).

5.2.1 Banchory SW. This prospect is located in the 3/19d block (Fig. 1). It is a three way dip closure against erosion & faults. In most of this area the Brent has been eroded by BCU. It is a very deep prospect with a crest at -4385m TVDSS. Based on 3/19b-3AZ well result where a tight Statfjord was drilled at around -4280m TVDSS it is likely to encounter a very poor reservoir quality at this depth range. The maxi HCWC has been defined at -4630m TVDSS at the last closing contour (Fig 11). TEPUK analysis shows a MUR of 10Mboe and a PS of 15% (SR:100, M/T:90, R:40, G:60 & S:70%). The MRR is 1.5Mboe.

5.2.2 Insch. Insch Statfjord corresponds to a faulted block which is located in the block 3/19d (Fig 1). The structure has been almost entirely affected by a small throw fault located in the central part; however, it appears not to have an effect on the connectivity since the lower part of the prospect has not been affected by it. The crest is located at -4000m TVDSS. The potential HC column was established on the potential first leak point controlled by Nansen/LB juxtaposition plus the fault retention obtained from the fault sealing analysis. The Maxi HCWC is located -4270m TVDSS through the north bounding fault (Fig. 12). TEPUK assessment presents a MUR of 5.6Mboe and a PS of 18% (SR:100, M/T:60, R:70, G:70 & S:60%). The MRR is 1.0Mboe.

5.2.3 Banchory. It is a two way dip closure against fault. Banchory Statfjord does not appear to have been affected by BCU erosion as it’s the case at the Brent level. The crest is located at 4150m TVDSS and presents a partial juxtaposition against Dunlin. The Maxi HCWC is located at -4320m TVDSS and was established based on the potential first leak point controlled by Nansen/LB juxtaposition in addition to the fault retention from fault sealing analysis (Fig. 13).

TEPUK analysis presents a MUR of 0.5Mboe and a PS of 13% (SR:100, M/T:70, R:50, G:60 & S:60%). The MRR is 0.1Mboe.

8. CONCLUSIONS: REMAINING PROSPECTIVITY

Overall, the defined objectives are quite limited in size (Mean Unrisked resources, MUR

below 7 Mboe) and with a low PS. Seismic resolution is quite poor below BCU and

consequently there is still an uncertainty in geometry for both Brent and Statfjord prospects.

There is also a high risk of poor reservoir quality related to high burial depth, especially for

the Statfjord prospects. Furthermore, some prospects present a high lateral seal risk

(Statfjord / Brent juxtaposition).
