Thrace Basin


Thrace Basin Frac Program: Play Concept & Strategy
9
Play Concept
Thick, stacked, blanket sands with significant gas in place.
Extensive well control from shallow production
Thermally mature, but largely untested, source rocks provide substantial unconventional potential with the
application of modern drilling and completion methods.
Assessment Strategy
1.
Prove rock is conducive to frac using low cost re-entries of existing shallow wellbores.
a.
Identify and test various zones (approximately 2,500-6,500 feet or 750-2,000 meters).
b.
Determine appropriate mix of fluid and horsepower.
c.
Test multiple zone completions.
2.
Test deeper potential and additional structures with new wellbores
a.
Identify and test deeper zones (approximately 5,000-13,000 feet or 1,500-4,000 meters).
b.
Test additional structures (Pancarkoy-1, Suleymaniye-2).
c.
Define opportunity set (number of productive zones, commingling potential, etc.).
3.
Test multi-stage vertical fracs
4.
Evaluate individual zone productivity for horizontal potential and test if/where applicable.
5.
Evaluate off-structure (stratigraphic) potential of blanket sands.

Thrace Basin Frac Program: Play Concept & Strategy
10
Overview
Unconventional targets from
approximately 1,000 meters (~3,300
feet) to 4,000 meters (~13,100 feet).
Early activity provided support that
conventional sands to 1,500 meters
(~5,000 feet) were viable targets
with economic recoveries.
Deep activity to-date has expanded
the opportunity set with an
additional 1,000 meters  (~3,300
feet) of gas saturated sands shown
to be productive.
Testing indicating that targets below
approximately 2,500 meters (~8,200
feet) are tight and water prone.
Finishing fourth deep well with
results expected to provide enough
detail to begin transition to
development program in the
Tekirdag Field Area.

Average IP for the 7 fracs is 1,800 Mcf/d
Base Case is 330 MMcf, Average recovery of the 3 cases is ~370 MMcf

Thrace Basin Frac Program: Type Curve Economics
13
Cost Assumptions:
Well preparation, pre-frac diagnostics, one stage frac, and testing: $330k gross
Additional $400k gross investment to drill and case a 1,000m well. Each additional stage expected to cost
$90k per stage.
Gas price = $7.42/mcf
Base case recovery and decline parameters were used for each stage in New Drill cases
Remarks:
All re-entry cases payout in 1.5 months, recovering approximately 65 MMcf gross in the first 2 months
Approximately 20 re-entry candidates have been identified
The Low Case for a new drill with single stage still nets $280k NPV10 with a 0.9 ROI

Thrace Basin Frac Program: Assessment Limitations
15
Stimulation Equipment
Currently only a single frac spread in-country. If utilized to test deep Thrace
targets or to stimulate zones in southeast Turkey then the equipment is not
available for repeat development program completions in the Tekirdag area.
Viking’s second frac crew expected to be available during the first quarter of
2013. Additional equipment possible with further success.
Winter Weather Can Slow You Down
Winter conditions (wet) can inhibit activity, most notably pad construction and
equipment moves.
During assessment periods with activity contingent upon recent wells, can add
meaningful time between wells.
Development program allows advanced preparation of wellpads and logistics
planning for drilling and completion materials.

Overview
Extension of prolific Iraqi and Syrian oil
trends. Houses Turkey’s most

upside opportunities including large
shale play potential. Numerous large
anticlines identified.
