Transformation
Over the past 18 months, Black Rock Oil Gas
PLC has transformed itself from a cash shell to
an exploration company with significant potential
by
  • Adopting a low risk exploration strategy
  • Creating a balanced portfolio in terms of
    geographical spread and near-term production
  • Farming-in to acreage that meets these criteria
  • Building an experienced management team to
    implement this growth strategy

4
Summary
  • Attractive acreage low risk projects
  • Active drilling programme planned in 2006
    potential to prove up in excess of 30 million
    barrels of oil energy equivalent net reserves
    (Arce, Baul and Monterey)
  • Management team strengthened with appointments to
    the Board
  • North Sea acreage has potential to transform
    Black Rock into a significant UK independent over
    time

The Board
6
Strategy
  • To focus on generating near term cash flow by
  • acquiring previously non-commercial or
    undeveloped discoveries
  • targeting bypassed pay and acreage adjacent to
    existing producing fields
  • To balance low risk production with high quality
    exploration projects
  • acquiring exploration acreage in known
    hydrocarbon provinces
  • avoiding high risk basins and countries
  • working with successful operators with
    established track record and local
    knowledge/expertise
  • seeking significant equity interests to maximise
    financial flexibility

2006
In 2006, Black Rock is expecting to
  • Generate cash flow from a Colombian steam flood
  • Test two further Colombian oil fields
  • Undertake an appraisal of a UK gas field
  • Drill a significant UK exploration opportunity
  • Prove up net reserves of 30 mmboe

Assets
Colombia Middle Magdalena Basin Potential near
term cash flow 50 joint venture with Kappa Energy
Planned activities summary
  • Steam flood testing in early 2006
  • Arce 4 and 5 to be drilled in Q2 2006
  • Potentially producing 2H 2006
  • Testing Baul and Bukhara
  • Seismic acquisition
  • Exploration well drilling

15
Arce Oil Field
  • Discovered 1984, shallow heavy oil
  • 3 wells drilled, 30 feet net pay
  • Arce 3 tested 30 bopd with constant water cut
  • Steam testing in early 2006
  • Estimated gross reserves of 5-10 mmbo
  • Five well pilot project should produce in excess
    of 115,000 barrels of oil
  • Peak production from Arce could reach 3,200 bopd
    after 3 years
  • Chicala Oil field is on production using steam
    flood techniques

16
Baul Oil Field
  • Discovered 1960, shallow heavy oil, 5 wells
    drilled, 100 net pay
  • Baul 3 produced 16,610 barrels of oil from a 14
    sand in 1960-61
  • Testing in Q2/3 2006
  • Estimated recoverable reserves of 2-3 mmbo of
    which 1mmbo is contained in the proven 14 sand

17
Bukhara Oil Field
  • Discovered 2000, shallow heavy oil
  • 1 well drilled, 175 feet net pay
  • 2005 test inconclusive
  • Re-testing in early 2006
  • Estimated recoverable reserves up to 75 mmbo

18
Colombia Exploration Opportunities (1)
Las Quinchas Association Contract
  • Perspective block containing a number of
    opportunities, ranging from shallow heavy oil to
    light oil targets in the deep Cretaceous
  • Acacia (15mmbo) heavy oil prospect
  • South Lalinda (10 mmbo) heavy oil prospect
  • Rio Viejo/La Tolda (49 mmbo) light oil, 18,000
    ft target depth
  • Morroa another deep Cretaceous play
  • One deep Cretaceous test well planned for 2006

Operator estimated mean reserves
19
Colombia Exploration Opportunities (2)
Alhucema Association Contract
  • Awarded in September 2005 as a result of farm-in
    agreement with Kappa
  • Similar geology to Las Quinchas heavy and light
    oil prospects
  • Possible extension of Chicala oilfield trend
  • Northern extension of Morroa lead

Core Assets
Offshore UK
Perspective acreage adjacent to existing oil and
gas fields
  • Planned activities
  • UKCS farm-in One well to be drilled in each of
    22/14b and 49/8c

21
Southern Gas Basin
Monterey Gas Field
  • Significant Carboniferous gas find, discovered
    1989
  • Well flowed at up to 5 mmcf/day
  • Petrophysics suggests a 300 feet gas column
  • Drilling planned for Q3 2006
  • Operator estimated mean recoverable reserves of
    165 bcf
  • Development via a 2 well subsea tieback, probably
    to Markham field
  • Prospect Stinson, on 49/8c operator estimated
    mean recoverable reserves of 147 bcf

22
Northern North Sea
Huntingdon Prospect
  • 3 targets in the Tertiary, Jurassic and Triassic,
    significant oil potential
  • Drilling planned in Q1/Q2 2006
