Competent Persons Report by Senergy (GB) Limited

Estimated number of potential traps 30

Best estimate of trap size 50 mmbbls

Gross un-risked prospective resource 1,500 mmbbls

Net un-risked prospective resource (Agri at 37.4%) 560 mmbbls

CPR independently validates plays in Block 14

Using the current limited dataset, Senergy has determined Block 14 to be frontier but potentially high reward hydrocarbon exploration acreage

Based on analogue with the Muzurq Basin, and an estimate that 25-35% of the entire block is prospective, Senergy estimate 30 traps can be identified

Predicted field size distribution of traps

Low (P90) 20 mmbbls

Best estimate 50 mmbbls

High (P10) 200 mmbbls

CPR recognises de-risking process to increase value

Significant de-risking can occur in Block 14 over 12-18 months The above de-risking can be realized prior to drilling a well reducing the risks of

dilution through raising capital

Slide 39 Asian Roadshow June 2012

Beach 15%, Melrose 40% (operator), Hellenic 30%, Kuwait Energy 15%

The largest concession area in Egypt at 42,700 km2

Possible rift basin similar to Gulf of Suez

Potential for very large oil fields (>100 MMbbl+)

~ 2,500 km of regional and infill 2D seismic acquired and interpreted

First exploration well, Mesaha-1, planned for 2H 2012

Mesaha concession

Wildcat acreage with rift graben potential

The Mesaha Block in Egypt is adjacent to Block 14

Operated by Melrose Petroleum Plc, with partners Beach Energy Ltd, Hellenic Petroleum SA and Kufpec

2,500km seismic acquired in 2010–12, following basin definition by gravity in 2009

Mesaha-1X is designed as a combination structural and stratigraphic test to evaluate as much of the sedimentary package as possible

The drilling will assist in defining the prospectivity of the basin and the Block 14 potential
