Oil & GasUK E&Ps – Time to Drill

We have a preference for explorers rather than

producers. Exploration activity is due to accelerate

during the course of the year. The level of newsflow this

will generate will inevitably lead to an increased level of

interest in the sector after a period of weak performance,

in our view. Exploration activity is particularly focused onSoco and Tullow in the first part of the year and then

Dana in the latter part. Soco, Tullow and Dana are our

preferred names in the sector.

We are initiating on Soco International with an

Overweight-V rating and price target of 1800p/share.

Our price target implies upside potential of 28%.

Following recent exploration success in Vietnam at the

end of 2006, Soco is carrying out a very active

exploration programme in Vietnam in 2007, which

should generate a significant level of newsflow over the

next 6-12 months, and could act as a material catalyst

for the shares. Soco is drilling for prospects in 2007 thatare worth around 2370p/share unrisked, in our view.

We are also resuming coverage on Cairn Energy

with an Equal-weight-V rating and a price target of

1750p. Our price target implies upside potential of 13%.

With the partial-IPO of Cairn India complete, the market

will focus on progress from the midstream negotiations

with the Indian government and ongoing development of

the Rajasthan fields. We believe that Cairn offers good

valuation support and absolute upside from current

levels. However, Cairn is less likely to outperform the

explorers in our view and we believe significant progress

on the Rajasthan development needs to be made beforewe see a re-rating in the shares.

E&P sector to outperform large caps and the wider

market. M&A looks set to increase in the industry and is

likely to support valuations, in our view. Risks to the oil

price are upwards and the E&Ps are leveraged to this.

We believe valuation is at its most attractive for the last

12 months and the sector is now discounting around

Top Picks in UK E&P Sector

The E&P sector has been a poor performer so far this year,

but we think that this has now thrown up some interesting

opportunities. Despite a withdrawal of liquidity from the

market, nothing has changed in terms of the fundamental

picture for the E&Ps or energy more broadly. In fact, one could

argue that the backdrop is more favourable today than it

looked at the end of last year.

Weak performance driven by market concerns, macroconcerns and poor newsflow

The weakness in the E&P sector so far this year has been

driven by a combination of events.

1) The recent market correction hit higher beta stocks the

hardest. It is inevitable that the E&Ps suffer under these

conditions.

2) At the beginning of the year, the oil price fell from $62/bbl to

$50/bbl, raising concerns about further declines, but it has

since recovered to around $60/bbl. The UK gas price also fell

to 18 pence per therm driven by oversupply at a time ofunseasonably warm weather.

3) Poor newsflow has tended to dominate over the last four or

five months, with exploration disappointment at Dana on two

high potential wells and the disappointing debut of Cairn India.

With the exception of Tullow there has been little to raise

interest in the sector on the more positive side.

However, we now think that both the macro risk and the

newsflow outlook are becoming more positive

We now see some of the E&Ps as fundamentally

undervalued. We firmly expect to see material performance

from these levels by the end of this year. The main drivers are:

• Increased rate of exploration

• Valuations at the lowest levels relative to core values

for 12 months

Oil price risk on the upside

• Increased consolidation in the sector

• UK gas price offers interesting entry point

Ultimately, the most important driver of the E&P sector is

exploration. Over the course of the next 12 months we expect

the companies we cover to drill on prospects worth (unrisked)

around 90% of their current value. The activity is biased

towards Soco and Tullow in the first half of the year. Soco

remains fairly consistently exposed during the course of the

year, and Dana picks up in the second half. This is in stark

contrast to the last six months, when only Tullow recordedmaterial success and the number of high impact wells in

aggregate was relatively low. This is a step change in activity.

UK E&Ps Order of Preference

• Soco

• Tullow

• Dana

• Cairn

•  Burren

March 22, 2007

Oil & Gas

The second most important consideration is of course

valuation. Following the market sell off and the oil price

decline from the middle of last year, we now see the E&Ps inaggregate trading closer to core value than at any time in the

last 12 months. Certainly, macro concerns have justified some

of the underperformance and market concerns cannot be

ignored. But following this period of weakness, we think that

current prices represent very attractive entry points into our

preferred stocks. Most investors who avoided the E&Ps last

year did so because they thought that the sector was

overheated or that there was more oil price risk. Now the

sector is not overheated and the oil price risk is on the upside,

in our view.

Top picks

We believe that, overall, the sub-sector should outperform

energy between now and the end of the year. Furthermore,

we think that this performance could well be front-end loaded

as we see the exploration programmes ramp up. Our top picks

are biased towards those that we think will offer the most

gearing to exploration over the next 6-12 months.

Soco International, Overweight-V, Price Target 1800p

Soco’s recent outperformance relative to the sector still leaves

the shares trading at a 13% discount to our base case NAV.

Our bull case implies some 68% upside potential from current

levels. We believe the upside potential from Soco comes from:

•  Exploration exposure. In 2007, Soco is drilling for

prospects in Vietnam that could be worth

2370p/share unrisked.

•  Strong operational and earnings momentum. We

also expect production volumes to ramp up from 6.7

kboe/d. in 2006 to 30.3k boe/d by 2010, an increase

of 46% CAGR. We expect earnings to rise by around

45% CAGR over the same period.

•  Valuation support from increased M&A activity.

Soco’s management team have previously run two

E&P companies that were acquired by larger oilcompanies (Conquest Exploration and Superior Oil).

Given management history, we think that the sale of

the company at some point is likely to be considered.

This is the key year for Soco in Vietnam, at the end of

which it should have broadly defined the scope of its

business in that country.

Tullow Oil, Overweight-V, Price Target 460p

Valuation support for Tullow is not as compelling as it is for the

other stocks under our coverage, with the shares trading at a7% discount to our base case NAV. However, Tullow is

entering the key phase of its exploration and appraisal

process in Uganda. With the potential for moving from an

interesting domestic development to a company making

international development as well as other exploration options

elsewhere in the portfolio, we think that the risk-reward

remains highly attractive. In aggregate Tullow is drilling for

prospects that could potentially double the share price over

the next 12 months in our view. The three key areas in

Tullow’s exploration programme are:

•  Uganda — we have included around 78p/share for

the exploration upside potential in Uganda in ourbase case NAV. However, we believe Uganda could

be worth 290p/share unrisked.

•  Namibia — we have included around 40p/share for

the exploration upside potential in Namibia in our

base case NAV. However, we believe Namibia could

be worth around 230p/share unrisked.

•  India — we have included around 15p/share for the

exploration upside potential in India in our base case

NAV. However, we believe India could be worth

90p/share unrisked.

Dana Petroleum, Overweight-V, Price Target 1300p

The weakness year to date, driven by the low UK gas price

and drilling disappointments in Kenya and Mauritania, leaves

the shares discounting very little further success from Dana’s

remaining exploration portfolio. The shares are trading at a

20% discount to our base case NAV and our bull case implies

some 79% upside potential from current levels. With implied

downside of just 13% to the core value, there is precious little

“hope value” built into the price, we believe.

•  Exploration exposure: We estimate that Dana will

still drill for some 710 mboe or 6.5x the current assetbase in the next two years. It remains one of the the

most geared to the drillbit among its peers. Unrisked

this translates to about 2250p or about 2.0x the

current share price.

•  Operational momentum: During the course of this

year we expect volumes to grow by 50% to

34kboe/d.

expanded its portfolio by frequent deal making -

particularly in the North Sea. We expect this processto continue during the course of this year.

•  Management buying shares: The company’s

senior management has recently increased its stake

in the business by 6.4%, purchasing an additional42,202 shares.

E&Ps – Time to Drill

We believe that now is the right time to be returning to the E&P

sector with a view to potentially material outperformance from

this level to the end of the year.

• Risks to oil prices are upwards over the course of the

year — and the E&Ps are leveraged to this.

• Exploration activity is due to accelerate during the

course of this year following a rather barren period

over the last 12 months with the exception of Tullow.

• Valuation is at its most attractive for the last 12

months.

• The weak UK gas price is fully discounted in share

prices and rather than being a negative at this stage

offers an opportunity to enter at a more attractive

level.

• Consolidation will continue to support and we believe

will accelerate. Timing this is virtually impossible, but

waiting for it to start is pointless.

Exploration activity ramping up

E&P sector performance is all about the E part rather than the

P part. We anticipate a raised level of activity within the sector

over the course of the next 12 months, with a particular focus

on Soco and Tullow in the first part of the year and then Dana

in the latter part.

Source: Morgan Stanley Research estimates

The level of newsflow this can be expected to generate will

inevitably lead to an increased level of interest in the sector

after what has been a period of weak performance and

disappointing newsflow (again with the exception of Tullow).

In aggregate, we see the five companies under coverage

drilling on prospects over the next two years that could add

around 150% to their combined value on an unrisked basis.

On a risked basis, this number comes down to around 20% of

the current values of these companies, but nonetheless

remains very material.

Activity in exploration is inevitably lumpy and interest

inevitably follows activity. In Exhibit 4 we show the timing ofwells by company and the unrisked value of those wells

should they be successful over the course of the next two

years. Activity levels are clearly highest at Tullow and Soco

during the first half of 2007 with increased exposure for Dana

as the year progresses. Notably, Soco remains exposed

consistently throughout the year, whereas others are very

prone to just one or two wells that make all the difference.

• Tullow is the most exposed in the first half of the

year, with major wells expected in Q2 in Namibia and

Uganda and then in Q3 with wells in India.

• Soco also has an active start to the year and remainsrelatively consistent throughout the year with wells

primarily in Vietnam.

• Dana also has a major programme in 2007. It is

slightly more back-end loaded than it is for the

others; however, it is focused on the UK and

therefore perhaps less risky than the wildcatting that

it has been doing over the last six months.

Valuation at its most attractive for the last 12 months

The E&P sector has been a very weak performer over the

course of the last six months. Oil prices have fallen, UK gas

prices have fallen, exploration at Dana has been unsuccessful

and the market has recently placed a higher discount on risk.

The E&Ps suffer under all these circumstances.

However, at this point, we see the sector trading closer to its

core value than at any time over the course of the last 12

months, and indeed longer.

Oil & Gas

Consolidation looms

We have touched on this theme many times over the past fewyears. However, it has been accelerating over the last 18

months and we think will extend to UK E&P over the next 12

months for several reasons:

• Finding and development costs continue to rise

• Emerging market players are becoming more

aggressive

• Company oil price views are now in line with or

moving above equity market views

Industry oil price views rising

Over the last five years, the equity market has been

consistently ahead of the industry in raising oil price views.

Equity markets tend to be more heavily influenced by spot

prices and have shorter memories. The oil companies tend to

be less swayed by spot and take longer-term views with the

memories of 1998 and 1999 very much in their minds.

However, since the decline in oil prices began in the middle of

2006, equity market expectations of fears of oil prices have

changed quite dramatically. On the other hand, expectations

of long-term oil prices appear to have continued to rise for Big

Oil. It is impossible to quantify exactly what the base

expectation is for oil companies as they have stopped giving a

view on mid-cycle prices. But their actions seem to indicate

price expectations are now in the $50’s. BP now explicitly

forecasts its volume numbers on the basis of $60/bbl and we

estimate that for most of the oil companies, we would need to

use an oil price of $50 + for them to be able to fund their capex

programme and pay the dividend without borrowing. The cashflow cycle is far tighter at $50 than many would imagine.

Oil & Gas

Soco International: Significant Exploration Programme Ahead

We are initiating coverage on Soco International with an

Overweight-V rating and price target of 1800p. Our price target

implies 28% upside potential from current levels.

The shares have recently outperformed the sector following the

full year results and the announcement that the company is

preparing to drill an intensive exploration and appraisal drilling

campaign offshore Vietnam in 2007. The recent performance

still leaves the shares trading at a 13% discount to our base

case NAV. Our bull case implies some 68% upside potential

from current levels. We believe upside potential from Soco

comes from:

1) Exploration upside. The key focus of Soco’s

exploration programme is Vietnam in 2007 and we expect

the company to drill up to 8 wells from now until the end of

the year. Soco is drilling for prospects in Vietnam that we

estimate could be worth 2370p/share unrisked – we have

only included around 340p/share of the exploration upside

potential in Vietnam in our base case NAV.

2) Strong operational and earnings momentum. 

Soco offers investors exposure to exploration upside, but

also strong operational and earnings momentum over the

period 2006-2010. We forecast production volumes to

ramp up from 7 kboe/d in 2006 to 30 k boe/d by 2010, anincrease of 46% CAGR. We expect earnings to rise by

around 45% CAGR over the same period. The company

also recently upgraded its reserves to 160.6m bbls at its

full year results from 133.2m bbls in 2005, following

successful appraisal drilling in both Vietnam and Yemen.

We expect more appraisal drilling in Yemen during 2007.

3) Valuation support from increased M&A activity.

Soco has a 16.8% interest in the East Shabwa block in

Yemen, which is a high quality asset operated by Total.

However, Soco’s interests in Block 9-2 and Block 16-1 in

Vietnam would offer the most interest to potential

acquirers in our view. With continued exploration andappraisal success in 2007, Block 9-2 and Block 16-1 in

Vietnam could develop into a “world class” basin. The

international integrated oil companies are already

operating in the region and Soco’s Vietnam assets could

provide a good strategic fit to their portfolios. Block 9-2 and

16-1 are located to the north of ConocoPhillips’ operations

and to the south of Talisman.

What to look for in 2007

2007 – Drilling on Block 16-1 (Vietnam) – unrisked 2370p/sh

H2 07 — Drilling in Yemen – unrisked 74p/sh

H2 07 – Congo/Angola – 2D seismic

Soco’s management team has also previously run two E&P

companies that were acquired (Conquest Exploration and

Superior Oil). Management has recently stated that the

company is “up for sale” every day.

The company has a relatively low free float of around 54% with

the remaining shareholders made up of long-term strategicinvestors and management. The CEO and CFO own around

2% of the issued share capital of the company. We argue that

this shareholder structure could increase the likelihood of M&A,

as majority shareholder approval would be easier to reach if a

bid were to be made for the company.

Valuation and catalysts

Soco’s valuation is attractive on a relative and absolute basis,

in our opinion. The shares are trading at a 13% discount to our

base case NAV of 1596p. We believe short-term newsflow

should act as a catalyst for the shares:

1) Vietnam drilling programme, 2007Soco plans to execute an intensive drilling programme in

Vietnam until the end of the year, drilling eight wells on Block

16-1. The company is currently drilling Prospect “S”, which is

estimated at around 200m bbls of recoverable reserves. We

expect an announcement of the well results in the next 3-4

weeks. We have 47p/share in our base case NAV for Prospect

“S”, but believe the well could be worth up to 280p/share

unrisked.

2) Yemen drilling programme, 2007

Soco plans to drill development and injector wells during 2007

in the Kharir field in Yemen to increase the productivity of the

basin. Water injection and further appraisal drilling could leadto further increases in reserves in our view. In addition, the

company plans to carry out an exploration program in the later

part of the year. We have 12p/share in our base case NAV, but

believe the programme could be worth up to 74p/share.

Soco International: Investment Positives

1) Material potential for exploration success in 2007

The key focus is Vietnam with an 8 well exploration program

planned. In addition, the company plans exploratory drilling

towards the end of the year in Yemen following an appraisal

and development drilling campaign during the year. We

estimate on an unrisked basis, exploration contributes about

430p to the base NAV of 1596p. On an unrisked basis, the

exploration portfolio could add up to 3000p of value or double

the current share price.

2) Further reserve and appraisal upside 

Soco announced a reserve upgrade from 133.2m bbls to

160.6m bbls at the full year results following recent drillingsuccesses in Vietnam and Yemen. We expect further appraisal

upside potential in 2007 from Yemen (around 25m boe) and in

2008 from Vietnam (around 48m boe) and Congo (26m boe)

and reflected this in our base case. We have included 2P

reserves of 144m boe in our core NAV, applying a 50% risk

factor to the company’s 11.9m 2P reserves in Congo, as the

company plans an exploration and appraisal program in 2008

before developing these reserves. We have also included only

40% of Soco’s 2P reserves in Thailand of 18.4m boe, as the

company has recently signed an agreement that would reduce

its interest in the Bualaung field from 100% to 40%.

3) Operational and earnings momentumWe expect production to to ramp up significantly from 7 kboe/d

in 2006 to around 30 kboe/d in 2010, an increase of 46%. This

growth is underpinned by the development of two major

projects in Vietnam, CNV and TGT. We argue that this growth

alongside a smaller development planned in Thailand

(Buluang) should underpin strong growth in cash flow

generation. Our forecast growth in volumes drives earnings

growth of around 45% CAGR between 2006-2010.

4) Undemanding valuation versus peers

The shares have recently outperformed the sector following the

full year results and the announcement that the company is

preparing to drill the first well of an intensive exploration andappraisal drilling campaign offshore Vietnam in 2007.

However, the recent performance still leaves the shares

trading at a 13% discount to our base case NAV. Our bull case

implies some 68% upside potential from current levels. This

compares with Tullow at 66% and Dana at 79%.

5) Support from M&A activity

We expect the pace of M&A to intensify in the industry over the

next few years. The number of assets available of any real

quality is shrinking and the western oil companies are finding it

harder and harder to access resources. Consolidation in the

industry will provide Soco with valuation support. With

continued exploration and appraisal success in 2007, Soco’s

Vietnamese interests could develop into a “world-class” basin

and we argue that these assets could be of particular interest to

potential acquirers. Soco is predominantly an explorer, not a

developer, and realising value from Vietnam would allow

management to focus on developing its exploration activities in

West Africa, which we expect will be the next focus for Soco

following the exploration programme planned in Vietnam in

2007.

4) Harsh licensing terms in Vietnam is market perception

A widely perceived negative in the market is that the contract

terms in Vietnam are harsh when compared with other

countries. However, following detailed discussions with the

company, while the petroleum contracts signed with

Vietnamese government on Block 9-2 and 16-1 have

similarities to production sharing contracts, there is one key

difference. The profit oil is split between PetroVietnam

(representing the Vietnamese government) and foreign

contractors in line with their interests in the petroleum contract.

There is no additional government take from profit oil, which is

common under most PSCs. This adds material value to the

TGT and CNV field asset values, in our view.

Soco International: Investment Negatives

1) Less diversified – around 75% of value in Vietnam

Soco has interests in assets in Yemen, Thailand, Congo

(Republic and DRC) and Angola. However, the majority of the

company’s value and exploration programme, particularly in

2007, is focused in Vietnam. Soco’s Vietnamese interests

represent 79% of our core NAV value and 76% of our base

case NAV. Soco’s Vietnamese assets are held by its 80%

owned subsidiary Soco Vietnam, which has a 25% interest in

Block 9-2 (Ca Ngu Vang) and a 28.5% in Block 16-1 (Te Giac

Trang). Soco also owns a further direct 2% interest in Block

16-1 following its recent acquisition of OPECO for $22m in

June 2006.

Soco’s other core area is Yemen where it has a 16.8% stake in

the East Shabwa Block (operated by Total). This represents

around 14% of our core NAV and 11% of our base case NAV.

We believe that there is further exploration and appraisal

upside from Yemen in 2007.

The portfolio, outside of Vietnam and Yemen, continues to be

developed. The company expects the Bualuang field in

Thailand to be onstream in 2008 - we forecast net production of

around 3.6kb/d rising to around 4.0k b/d by 2009. In addition,

the company is developing its interests in Africa with seismic

testing at the Nganzi field (DRC) planned for 2007 and a drilling

program planned in the Marine XI block in Congo in 2008.

2) Low free float

Soco has a relatively low free float of 54% with the remaining

shares held by long-term strategic investors that have

representatives on the Soco Board. The largest shareholder is

Pontoil Intertrade Ltd, which owns around 20% of the issued

share capital of the company and has been a shareholder

since 1999. The next largest private shareholder is the family

trust of the company’s former chairman, Patrick Maugein, who

died last year, which has around an 8% stake in the company.

We believe the risk of the family trust selling its holding in the

near future is low given that one of the key advisers to the trust

is Soco’s new chairman, Mr Rui de Sousa. Management also

owns around 3% of the business — Ed Story, CEO and

co-founder of Soco, owns around 1.6m shares or 2.2% of the

issued share capital, and Roger Cagle, deputy CEO and CFO

owns 0.7m shares, or 1.0% of the issued share capital.

3) Exploration licences running out in Vietnam

We understand that any field areas not secured in an appraisal

area by December 2007 will have to be relinquished. Soco has

identified a number of exploration prospects that it plans to drill

before the end of the year. The company’s aim is to drill as

many prospects as possible and maximise the potential upside

from the drilling program. The company currently has only one

drilling rig operating at present, which is only available into thesecond quarter of 2007. However, 2 further rigs have been

contracted - one is expected to be available at the end of Q1

and the other in Q2. The company plans to drill 8 exploration

wells on Block 16-1 and 3-5 development wells on Block 9-2

during 2007.

BASE NAV (Core + Risked upside) 1,596Source: Morgan Stanley Research estimates

Base case valuation — 1,596p

We estimate a base NAV or fair valuation for Soco of 1,596p

per share, assuming a long-term Brent oil price of US$53/bbl.

We provide a full breakdown of the NAV later in this report.

Our price target of 1,800p for Soco is derived by applying

around a 15% premium to our base case NAV of 1,530p. Webelieve this is justified given the material exploration-driven

newsflow that we anticipate in the coming months.

Bull case (2,377p)… and blue sky (3,516p)

Our bull case scenario implies a value of 2,377p or potential

upside of 68% from the current share price. It consists of our

core valuation and then the assumption that the company is

two and half times more successful in the exploration and

development of resources in our base case valuation (up to a

maximum of 100% certainty of success).

We have also estimated a blue sky valuation — this scenario

is a combination of the core value plus the complete de-riskingof potential exploration and development projects

incorporated in our base net asset valuation. We derive a

value of 3,516p on this basis or some 223% potential upside

to current levels.

Core valuation — 1,043p/sh

We estimate that the company’s producing assets have

reserves remaining of some 115 mboe (on an entitlement

basis) or 144m boe (on a working interest basis), which gives

a value of 1,043p. The scenario assumes zero potential

upside from both exploration and development projects in

Soco’s portfolio. We also add the present value of future

deferred payments relating to the sale of Soco’s Mongolian

assets to Petrochina in 2005 (24p/share) and deduct Soco’s

net debt following a $250m convertible bond issue in May

2006 (24p/share) and present value of group overheads

(37p/share).

SIA NAV at different oil price scenarios

• At US$53/bbl long term, the shares are trading at a

26% premium to our core valuation.

• At a long-term oil price of US$60, on our bull case

scenario we see upside potential of 68% (to 2,377p).

• However, if the shares were to assume US$40/bbl

and also return to their core valuation (that is, without

any risked upside), Soco could see a fall of 39% from

current levels, on our estimates.

• We estimate around a 1.5% move in the base NAV

for every US$1/bbl movement in the long-term oil

price.

Base case valuation — 396p

We estimate a base NAV or fair valuation for Tullow of 396p

per share, assuming long-term prices of US$53/bbl Brent and

38p/th for UK gas prices. We have updated our NAV following

the full year results and increased our risked exploration in

Uganda by around 25p/share. Management indicated a range

for recoverable resources in Uganda of 100-250m barrels from

the existing discoveries to date, which does not include the

deeper primary target at Kingfisher (around 300m boe) that

Tullow plans to drill towards the end of the year. Management

also provided further guidance on the gross upside for the

Ngassa prospect in Uganda (900m boe), Mahogany in Ghana(600m boe) and Matamata (1000m boe). These prospect sizes

are significantly larger than previously indicated and underlines

Tullow’s exploration upside potential. Our NAV also

incorporates the change to our 2007 UK gas price assumption.

Our price target for Tullow is derived by applying around 15%

premium to our base case NAV of 396p. We believe this is

 justified given the material newsflow that we anticipate in the

coming months.

Bull case (677p)… and blue sky (1,307p)

Our bull case scenario implies a value of 677p or potential

upside of 83% from the current share price. It consists of our

core valuation and then the assumption that the company is

two and half times more successful in the exploration and

development of resources in our base case valuation (up to a

maximum of 100% certainty of success). Our bull case

valuation derives a value of 1,307p on this basis or some 254%

potential upside to current levels.

The bear case or a core valuation — 170p/sh

We estimate that the company has commercial and contingent

reserves remaining of some 357 mboe (on an entitlementbasis), which gives a value of 170p. The scenario assumes

zero potential upside from both exploration and development

projects in Tullow’s portfolio.

We estimate a base NAV or fair valuation for Dana of 1,230pper share, assuming long-term prices of US$53/bbl Brent and

38p/th for UK gas prices. This incorporates the change to our

2007 UK gas price assumption, which reduces our base case

NAV by around 4%. This leaves the shares currently trading at

a 20% discount to our fair value estimate. We provide a full

breakdown of the NAV later in this report. Our price target for

Dana is derived by applying around a 5% premium to our base

case NAV of 1,230p. We believe this is justified given the risk

of higher oil prices, the risk of increased consolidation in the

sector and material newsflow on deals and exploration from

Dana in the coming months.

Bull case (1,838p)… and blue sky (3,417p)Our bull case scenario implies a value of 1,838p or potential

two and half times more successful in the exploration and

development of resources in our base case valuation (up to a

our base net asset valuation. We derive a value of 3,417p on

this basis or some 230% potential upside to current levels.

The bear case or a core valuation — 885p/sh

We estimate that the company’s producing assets have

reserves remaining of some 129 mboe (on an entitlement

BASE NAV (Core + Risked upside) 1,895Source: Morgan Stanley Research estimates

Base case valuation — 1,895p

We estimate a base NAV or fair valuation for Cairn of 1,895p

per share, assuming long-term prices of US$53/bbl Brent. This

leaves the shares currently trading at a 23% discount to our fair

value estimate. We provide a full breakdown of the NAV later

in this report. We have set our 12 month price target at around

a 10% discount to our base case NAV at 1,895p. We feel this is

 justified given the risks around development of the Rajasthan

fields, the continued discount of Cairn India to what we see as

fair value and the lack of material exploration newsflow in the

short-term.

Bull case valuation — 2,200p

Our bull case scenario implies a value of 2,200p or potential

upside of 42% from the current share price. It consists of our

core valuation and then the assumption that the company is

two and half times more successful in the exploration and

development of resources in our base case valuation (up to a

maximum of 100% certainty of success). These include:

•  Enhanced oil recovery (EOR): Cairn has stated that

there is a strong likelihood that it will be able to use

EOR on the Northern fields and increase 2P reserves.

•  Raising recovery factors to 35% on Mangala,Aishwariya, and Bhagyam: Individual field RFs

indicated by Cairn imply an aggregate RF of 33% for

the three largest Northern fields with an estimate for

Mangala at 36%. While not all fields or reservoirs are

alike, we believe that there is the possibility to

increase these recovery factors.

•  Value of additional discoveries: Cairn has less

exposure to exploration than its peers. However,

exploration drilling planned for the Ravva (India) and

Sangu (Bangladesh). Cairn also has a 10% interest in

the UD-1 well in the KG basin.

The core valuation (1,647p/sh)… bear case (1,470p/sh)

We estimate Cairn’s core value at 1,647p, which is about 7%

above the current share price. Cairn’s 69% stake in Cairn India

represents around 73% of the core value, with the remaining

value split between the net IPO proceeds (26%) and Capricorn

(1.5%), which principally includes Bangladesh. We estimate

Cairn’s bear case at 1,470p/sh, which is around a 5% discount

to the current share price. Our bear case assumes:

• The discount on the crude sales agreement is 15%,

higher than Cairn management’s expectations of3-10% (and our base case assumption of 10%)

• Cairn pays its share (70%) of the Mangala/Viramgam

340km crude pipeline and is not eligble for cost

recovery, impacting our Cairn India NAV by $240m

• Cairn India has to pay CESS production tax (at Rs

900/MT), impacting our Cairn India NAV by $260m.

Cairn NAVs at different oil price scenarios

• Cairn offers the least spread in terms of our valuation

scenarios versus the current share price with our bear

case valuation at some 1,470p (-5%) while the bull

case implies some 42% potential upside at 2,200p.

This is due partly to the high contribution from the

core value and also the result of a limited exploration

program. We estimate a 1.3% move in the base NAV

for every US$1/bbl movement in long-term oil prices.

Price Target Methodology

Exhibit 38

Summary of UK E&P Ratings and Price Targets

CompanyCurrent

target (p)

ImpliedPotential

Upside (%)

Soco International 1411 Overweight -V 1,800 28

Tullow Oil 369 Overweight -V 460 25

Dana Petroleum 1,029 Overweight -V 1,300 26

Cairn Energy 1,546 Equal-weight -V 1,750 13

Burren Energy 730 Equal-weight -V 810 11Source: Morgan Stanley Research

Our price targets for the UK E&Ps are derived from a

combination of our net asset valuation (based on our long-term

oil price assumption of US$53/bbl Brent and 38.2p/therm for

UK gas prices) and more subjective factors. Our base net

asset valuation is essentially the discounted cash flows on a

field-by-field basis and our best estimate of risk upside. At any

given oil price, we expect E&P shares to trade somewhere

between a core valuation and a bull case scenario. The

premium (or discount) to the core value is mostly determined

by: 1) by short-term oil prices and the perception of longer-term

oil prices and 2) levels of M&A activity in the industry. Within

this framework, individual companies are likely to trade at

different premium/discounts depending on specific stock

characteristics. These are as follows:

the potential for upgrades to existing reserves(commercial and technical);

• the potential for appraisal upside from additional

discoveries for which actual volumes are yet to be

determined;

• exploration activity; and

• news flow intensity around the shares.

Risks to price targets

Oil and gas, and particularly exploration, is a high-risk

business. Putting this together with uncertainty over short-term

commodity prices, we assign a volatility flag to our ratings for

the UK E&P stocks.  The following are key drivers for the sector

that may lead the shares to under or outperform our

assumptions:

Downside: 1) Sharp fall in commodity prices; 2) disappointing

exploration or appraisal;. 3) increases to capex/delays to

development projects; 4) increased political and fiscal risks.

Upside: 1) Continued increased in short-term and longer-termassumptions of commodity prices; 2) better than assumed

exploration success; 3) increased M&A activity in the industry.

Specific risks for TLW: On the downside: 1) disappointing

drilling results from the UK, Uganda or India; 2) a significant

delay in the gas sales agreement for phase 1 Kudu and

unsuccessful appraisal for phase 2; 3) operational problems at

existing fields; 4) weakness in the UK gas price. On the upside,

we see risks from materially better success from the drill bit.

Specific risks for Dana: On the downside: 1) disappointing

drilling results from UK, Mauritania and Egypt; 2) operational

problems on existing fields in the UK portfolio; 3) weakness inthe UK gas price. On the upside, we see risks from materially

better success from the drill bit.

Specific risks for Burren: On the downside: 1) operational

difficulties at existing core assets (Burun and M’Boundi); 2)

political instability in Turkmenistan. On the upside we see risks

from: 1) materially better exploration success from drilling in the

Congo; 2) better than anticipated appraisal from water injection

at M’Boundi; 3) an earlier than expected sales agreement for

Turkmenistan.

Specific risk for Cairn: On the downside: 1) delays in the

timetable for development of existing assets in Rajasthan; 2)disappointing appraisal upside from Rajasthan. On the upside,

we see risks from materially better success from the drill bit in

the KG basin.

Specific risks for Soco: On the downside, disappointing

drilling results from Vietnam, Yemen and Congo. On the

upside, we see risks from materially better success from the

drill bit.
