Market for GTL Liquids is Much BiggerThan the LNG Market

• Middle distillate demand growing at 2.5% per year worldwide – 4 years growth equals the entire size of the LNG market

• In 3 years, announced GTL capacity in Qatar is 1/3rd of current LNG market –which took 3 decades to develop

Clean Fuels, Easily Sold

Syntroleum GTL Diesel –– Can be sold in existing markets – Compatible with existing infrastructure

(pipelines, storage terminals, retail pumps)– No sulfur or aromatics – Biodegradable and non-toxic– Performs better than conventional diesel– Valuable blending stock to meet new

Syntroleum Strategy Targets 1-3 TCF Gas Fields

200+ non producing fields world wide with reserves of 1 to 3 TCF

Syntroleum GTL targets many smaller fields.

LNG and World scale GTL projects target a few larger fields

1) Gas fields outside of North America

Syntroleum’s First Project:Aje Field Offshore Nigeria

• Previously discovered oil and gas field offshore Nigeria– Two wells successfully tested oil and

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

Key Driver of Mid-Term Fiancial Results – Aje Current AssumptionsPricing• NYMEX strip through 2010, $35/Bbl thereafter

Production Volumes• GTL FPSO producing

– 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)

Aje Compared to ConventionalE&P Projects

1Source: 2003 John S. Herold, Inc. , Herold Global Upstream Performance Review

2 Aje Oil Only - Costs assume $666 Million oil field development cost to produce 200 million bbl of oil reserves, $2.00/Bbl oil field operations cost and $100,000/day oil FPSO lease rate for an oil production rate of 40,000 Bpd.

3 Aje Gas Dev.- Costs assume $186 Million gas field development cost, $900 million capital cost for a GTL/Oil FPSO, $15,000/day gas field operations cost and FPSO operations cost of $120,000/Day. It is assumed that Aje contains 74 million bbls of condensate and can produce 116 million bbls of GTL fuels. Assumes production of 10,000 Bpd of condensate and 17,000 Bpd of syncrude from GTL.

The Syntroleum Process uses Air

• Unique air-based design eliminates costly oxygen plant to make syngas

• Air offers several key competitive advantages:– Safe to operate in marine environment – Ability to compress footprint – “mobility”– Scales down to capture smaller accumulations

Significant Technology Barriers To Entry

• Requires significant time and capital– Invested greater than $200 million over 20 years

• Requires three process technologies• New entrants must navigate patents of others• Limited club of companies have GTL technology

– Syntroleum– Sasol– Shell– ExxonMobil– ConocoPhillips– BP
