    Exercise of farm-in option by BHP Billiton in SC55 and Otto (through its wholly-owned subsidary NorAsian Energy Ltd) lodgement of notice to enter drilling exploration sub-phase.

    Completion of Duhat-1/1A exploration well drilling provides strong support for follow up in SC51.

    Completion of 210 km2 high quality 3D seismic acquisition over Lampos and Lampos South prospects in SC69.

    Galoc joint venture approval in July 2011 to install an improved mooring and riser system upgrade Rubicon Intreped, crucial to progressing Phase 2 field development.

Production:

    Since the start of production in October 2008, the Galoc Production Company WLL (GPC), has produced total of 7.54 million barrels of crude oil as of June 30, 2011, and delivered 22 takeoffs to refinery customers.

Otto, through its shareholding in the field operator Galoc Production Company WLL (GPC), has commenced pre-planning activities for further development of the Galoc field with a decision on Phase 2 due to be taken in early 2012.

Exploration and Development:

The permit contains a significant number of high quality, large volume prospects that are being quickly matured for drilling by Otto and its partners. The JV has recently elected to enter the next permit sub-phase which requires a commitment well to be drilled prior to August 2012.
