Strategy

Lower Risk Offshore DrillingSpecifically targeted shallow water bench drilling. Drilling costs are much lower thancompetitive deep water exploration in the region. Shallow water drilling rigs operate atless than a third the cost of deep water rigs currently drilling in Israeli waters.Correspondingly AFE’s and risk are lower.

High Resource Potential – Oil and GasThe company has focused on maximizing shareholder value by strategic selection oflicenses with proven, prior analogous production and exploration. 2D and now 3Dseismic has already been completed on Gabriella and Yitzhak. Samuel has prior 2D, andAdira is currently mobilizing a 3D contractor for a May start-up.

Lower Infrastructure Costs – Near MarketYitzhak and Gabriella both offer significant oil targets that can be exploited with state ofthe art directional drilling technology and facilities costs that are fractional of deep water– increasing netbacks to interest holders. The gas targets in the Samuel license areimmediately below current pipeline infrastructure. Deliveries to market pose lessoperational, environmental and financial risk that the deep water targets.Delivery to market before deep water developments is achievable.

Economic FocusOil is purposefully selected as a resource target for the company for obvious high altitudeeconomics in the sector. Oil from shallow economically drilled locations beats deep waterhands down. On shore unconventional gas has an immediate market, costs are low andthe resource is long life suitable for power. The near to market gas targets in the shallowwaters on Samuel are anticipated to have substantially better economics per moleculethan the deep water gas finds plagued with explosive infrastructure costs, high pressureand highly technical delivery parameters and long time delivery schedules to market.

Tamar (January 2009). Delek/Noble Energy (NYSE: NBL) Consortium made a significant discovery of naturalgas (approx. 8.4 TCF) off Haifa. This is a world-class discovery and as such has created increased drillingactivity and significant investor interest in the region.

Dalit (March 2009). Following Tamar, a second natural gas discovery offshore Israel identified more than 110feet of net pay. With the successes at Tamar and Dalit, a potentially substantial new resource basin with largeremaining exploration potential opened up. Additional 3D in the area in the second half of 2009 with potentialfor additional targets. Dalit is situated approx. 55 km northwest of Gabriella and 45km northwest of Yitzhak.

Leviathan (December 2010). Nobel recently announced the Leviathan gas discovery, West of Tamar,estimated at over 16 TCF of gas. The well halted for additional liner casing as it is being deepened for potentialdeeper oil targets. Leviathan is the largest gas discovery ever in Israel, and the largest offshore gas discoveryin the world over the past decade.

Israel Recent Discoveries

Heletz Oil Field - During the 1950’s, Israel discovered this on-shore field. Over the past 50 years it hasproduced cumulative 20 million barrels of Oil. It is essentially fully depleted.

Yam Tetis Field - The country’s only current domestic gas source. The Ministry of Infrastructure expects it tobe fully depleted in the next decade. The field’s .85 TCF was the largest find in the country, before Tamar .

EMG Consortium - An agreement for gas from Egypt to Israel provides for the sale of 1.7 billion cubic metersof gas per year, representing 20% of Israeli electricity current consumption ($5.50 - $5.75) per MMBtu
