Material change in oil and gas reserves for South Akcakoca Sub-Basin (“SASB”) gas field
The SASB gas field is located in offshore Turkey, Black Sea area, which was discovered in 2004 and commenced production of natural gas during 2007. SASB has 10 production wells (two of them dual completed) of which 4 are currently producing. The Company’s interest is 49%, of which 12.5% was obtained during 2018. TPAO, the national Turkish oil and gas company is the 51% interest holder of SASB.
The Company commenced upgrades during 2018 of the 3D seismic model which was completed in 2019. The Company engaged GLJ Petroleum Consultants, an independently qualified reserves evaluator and auditor, to evaluate the reserves at SASB and had received now a report, as above, with an effective date of December 31, 2019 “The GLJ Report”. The GLJ Report is summarized as follows. The following discounted before tax NPV10% values for the Company’s 49% interest in SASB are:
| 1) | Proven Undeveloped Gas Reserves before tax value of NPV10% US $34.933 Million for the Company’s 49% interest and net after royalty gas reserves of 10.1 Bcf, |
| 2) | Proven + Probable Undeveloped Gas Reserves before tax value of NPV10% US $74.659 Million for the Company’s 49% interest and net after royalty gas reserves of 17.66 Bcf, |

| 5. | “Developed” reserves are those reserves that are expected to be recovered from existing wells and installed facilities or, if facilities have not been installed, that would involve a low expenditure to put the reserves on production. |

These reserves may be currently producing or, if shut-in, they must have previously been on production, and the date of resumption of production must be known with reasonable certainty. |
| 7. | “Developed Non-Producing” reserves are those reserves that either have not been on production, or have previously been on production, but are shut-in, and the date of resumption of production is unknown. |
| 8. | “Undeveloped” reserves are those reserves expected to be recovered from known accumulations where a significant expenditure is required to render them capable of production. They must fully meet the requirements of the reserves classification (proved, probable) to which they are assigned. |
