gas• GTL Technology was enabling factor
in acquiring the block • Nine months from initial review to
partner commitment of $95 million to earn their interest
• Re-processed and mapped geophysical data
• Current status:– Drilling permit granted– Assignment of interest approved by
the Nigerian Government – Transocean SEDCO 709 to arrive late

– 17,000 Bpd of syncrude– 10,000 Bpd of condensate– 50,000 Bpd of peak oil crude
Infrastructure • Oil reservoir: 13 producers, 3 injectors and subsea infrastructure• Gas reservoir: 4 new producers plus completing Aje-1 and Aje-2 and subsea infrastructure• Leased oil FPSO (2007-2010) replaced by a leased GTL/Oil FPSO (2010-2030)
Operating and Capital Costs• $28 MM for Aje-3 dry hole turnkey cost plus $8 MM for testing• Total field development cost (oil and gas) of $852 Million• Upstream operating costs of $2.00/Bbl crude oil and $1.50/bbl condensate• Leased crude oil FPSO at a rate $100,000 per day (2007-2010)• Leased GTL/Oil FPSO at a day rate of $100,000 per day for crude oil processing and an additional
toll rate of $20/Bbl of GTL products produced (2010 – 2030)
