3Transformation
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
4Summary
- 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
5The Board
6Strategy
- 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
