    Dear Mr. ,

    With this letter Vermilion Oil & Gas Netherlands B.V. (VOGN) would like to convey the progress and further planning with respect to the work programs in the relevant portfolio of exploration licenses that VOGN currently holds post the acquisition of Northern Petroleum Nederland B.V. (NPN) in October 2013. Where applicable VOGN hereby applies for extension of the license terms in order to be able arrive at a maturation status that allows for tangible plans to drill exploration wells on these licenses.

    In the Tour d'Horizon held on 4 April 2014 at your offices in Den Haag an overview was provided on the work in progress on forward planning for subsurface work for the complete portfolio of exploration licenses in order to mature the respective prospectivities prior to the setup of firms plans for drilling exploration wells. In the meeting it was indicated that during this second quarter of 2014 VOGN would be able to firm up the forward overall planning for subsurface activities on the basis of identified specific sub surface evaluation projects and resourcing of these projects within VOGN, The results of this work are presented in the enclosed reports. A summary per exploration license, including request for extension, where applicable, is herewith presented for consideration.

    Exploration Licenses Utrecht.

    With respect to these licenses, following take over from NPN, VOGN applied for and received extensions of two years to November 2015 under the condition that drilling plans would be submitted by November 2014 with execution of a drill before November 2015. The enclosed report that was provided in addition to the requests for extension in October 2013 and was further presented in the Tour d'Horizon in April 2014 indicating that VOGN realistically will require the full two years extension to complete the subsurface evaluation activities in order to establish the potential for further tangible drilling plans. Only in the Utrecht license an exploration well is being scheduled in the prospect for which permitting is in progress, being the same prospect and target as previously indicated by NPN. The sequence for obtaining the permit, constructing the location that requires pre-loading and drilling the well would bring the timing for the drill to the first half of 2016 as it can be judged at present. On the basis of this information VOGN request that the extensions provided for these three licenses are not made conditional to provide tangible drilling plans by November 2014 (with the exception of the drilling plan for and executing drills before November 2015. That will allow VOGN to complete the work programs as presented and formulate the way forward for activities in these licenses by applying for further extensions beyond 2015 or relinquishments in case VOGN sees no further potential.

    We would be pleased to further elaborate on this position and the resulting requests for extensions at your convenience.

    Your sincerely.

    Neil Wallace Managing Director Vermilion Oil & Gas Netherlands B.V.

    Dear Ms. ,

    With this letter Vermilion Energy Netherlands B.V. (VEN) would like to convey the progress and further planning with respect to the work programs in the relevant portfolio of exploration licenses that VEN currently holds. Where applicable VEN hereby applies for extension of the license terms in order to be able to arrive at a maturation status that allows for tangible plans to drill exploration wells on these licenses.

    The exploration concessions within VEN's portfolio consist of "old" concessions that have seen neither drilling nor seismic acquisition activities since the late 90's, and therefore do require unlocking technologies to unravel the exploration potential and opportunities for monetizing the Netherlands subsurface. Activity planning in the Netherlands is proven now to be a different process than 5-10 years ago. Any drilling activities in those concessions will require new drilling sites since all potential sites have been reclaimed by previous operators at the time of relinquishment. Therefore, from the identification of a target to the actual drilling activity, an average of 2-3 years needs to be considered. Considering the acquisition of new seismic data, from first shot to target identification, an average of 2 years also needs to be considered to cover acquisition, processing, evaluation, prospectivity ranking and budgetary approval.

    Ö‘i VEN also needs to blend, through proper planning, those activities with the other activities planned as the result of the maturation of its existing mining concession portfolio.VEN would appreciate if the MEA could consider these conditions under which onshore operators are currently working within, in her evaluation of the concessions extension requests. With the present letter VEN wish to convey its interest, through the level of activity proposed, in keeping those concessions in VEN's portfolio. The table below summarizes the proposed level

    of activities.

    Exploration Licenses Utrecht,

    With respect to these licenses, VEN received extensions to November 2016 under the condition that drills would be announced by December 2015.

    In the Utrecht license VEN had scheduled to drill the prospect, however the necessary environmental permit that VEN has applied for in July 2014, has been refused by the municipality in February 2016. VEN has filed an appeal against this decision in March 2016. The initial planning however can no longer be met.VEN therefore requests an extension of the Utrecht license with a period of six years to November 2022 in order to finalize the proceedings regarding and - assuming the proceedings will be a success - restart the procedures for the drill, firm up other drillable prospects in the area and execute the permitting for tangible drilling activity.

  • Exploration license Utrecht In the Utrecht license, VEN has intentions to drill the . However, the necessary environmental permit that VEN submitted in July 2014, was refused by the municipality

    in February 2016, by refusing to give a declaration of no objections. After this refusal, VEN started a legal procedure in order to get approvals on the submitted environmental permits. The Court ruled against VEN in the appeal proceedings, which was later also confirmed by the ABRvS (Afdeling Bestuursrechtspraak van de Raad van State). The main consideration of the ABRvS was that the realization of the mining location impairs the open and agricultural character of the area and therefore doesn’t harmonize with the scenic values that provincial and municipal policy pursue. In the period 2016-2017,

    In this area, gas presence and a working gas system is proven, resulting in high geological probabilities of success (Pg) prospects.

  • However, as also indicated in the meeting held on 8 August 2018, Vermilion recognizes that another municipal permit refusal could result in a delay of the presented project timelines of multiple years. Therefore, Vermilion requests an extension of the Utrecht exploration license with 8 years, until 24 November 2026.
