2011
Drill Infill wells, Evaluate Bakken JV, Test CO2 factors
Infill
Drill up to eight infill wells out of thirty-six infill locations
Probable reserves at 600k to 1.2 million barrels per well
Capital cost for eight wells will be $12 million
Finding and Development costs are  $2.50 per barrel
Further geophysical work on correlations with emphasis on NW syncline and southwest nose
Bakken
Evaluate farm-out and joint venture options for 23,000 ac. Bakken play
Existing well penetrations,  good reservoir quality,   source shale for other Poplar zones
Third party  engaged to manage the process.   Working partner issues.  Target completion  August, 2010
CO2 Flood
Complete three single well tracer operations to test Residual Oil saturation
CO2 effectiveness driven by saturation
Examine part-scale startup economics for northwest side of the field.


Growth Opportunity
Growth Opportunity
2.  Gas to Methanol development, offshore Australia
Signed Agreement to acquire a 40% operating interest in the Evans
Shoal field, offshore Australia with estimated gross contingent
resources of 6.5 to 8 TCF (analysis dependent) and 50 mmbbls condensate.
Resource acquisition cost of  $182 million equates to  5.7 cents/mcf in the ground
or 33 cents/ barrel equivalent
Will pay $91 million to Santos at Closing
Contingent $45 million due on development plan approval:  second
contingent  $45 million due at first gas
Partners are Shell (25%),  Petronas (25%), and Osaka Gas (10%)
Development plan addresses less than 25% of reserves
Significant Capital Project in partnership with large petrochemical companies
$3.7 billion gross including field, plant, and pipeline.   $1.5 billion net or $2.00 per mcf
Methanol value yield $325 per Ton is $10.50/mmbtu at plant inlet
gas (adjusted for plant shrinkage, but using CO2)
Global Methanol demand expected to grow at 8%
From 2009 to 2014,  demand sources from DME and MEOH fuel additive growth
Methanol demand has already increased by 250% since 1995
