Market DriversThe Economic Context

• In emerging markets governments are looking to
  secure their national asset (data)
• Governments alone cannot provide the necessary
  seed funding
• Oil Companies will be increasingly directed by
  legislation to data submission standards
• Oil Companies will invest in bespoke DM
  solutions, often linked to internal global
  strategies for DM

11
The Shared-Value Model

• However, there are significant benefits to be
  accrued to
• Governments / The Regulating Authorities
• The Oil Companies
• The Operators Landmark or other service
  providers

NDB Values to Governments

• Increase exploration activity and attract inward
  investment
• Optimise the exploitation of natural resources
  via
• Effectiveness of decision making and resources
  management
• Accuracy and appropriateness of development and
  production strategies
• Incremental production and maximal recovery
• Resolve their own data management challenges
• Exploding volumes of reported data
• Sales channel for data packages
• Control and Audit Data Reporting
• Economies of Scale
• In technology invesmtents
• Process development and operations management

13
NDB Values to Oil Companies

• Reduced labour cost
• More projects, more quickly, with better data
• Reduced distribution cost
• Reporting to Partners and Authorities in hours
• Reduced IT cost servers
• Consolidated and shared economies of scale
• Reduced storage cost - shelf and disc storage
• Economies of scale in technology investments

14
Indirect Value to Oil Companies

• Partners
• Easy to exchange data in a licence or partnership
• Important for QA

• Easier to do interpretations between different
  sites
• Authorities
• Easy to report data

National Data BanksThe Lessons Learned

• Technology is not the issue
• PetroBank is a proven world class data
  management option
• All value sources discussed must be calculated in
  terms to drive investment
• A NDB is a mix of private and public (shared)
  benefits
• Norway has shown results will follow where
• Collaboration between government and industry is
  high
• Regulation is applied to encourage NDB use
• Standards are developed and applied early
• Data process and QC is given priority

17
National Data BanksThe Lessons Learned

• The Operating Model is key
• Determines who owns the bank and provides
  governance and control
• Secured long term funding
• Co-operative environment for governments and
  industry
• Landmark has experience of several model types,
  including the proven Norwegian and UK
• Commercial security, robust operating
  environments and proven technologies can we
  replicate this formula to reproduce success?
