Guijarral Hills Field Exploitation Project
 ü Blast is seeking an initial $3M investment in the form
 of debt financing to “farmin” or invest in drilling one
 well on the initial prospect in the Guijarral Hills in
 Central California
 ü By participating in the initial well, Blast expects to
 realize a 34.5% interest in the program’s entire 2,543
 acre position where four target zones are known to
 produce - the initial well is planned to penetrate all
 four zones to obtain rights
 ü Most promising initial well site has been identified and
 permitted through extensive geological evaluation and
 study of adjacent wells drilled by Chevron & Union Oil
 amongst others in over 100 wells drilled in the area
 
 

 
Guijarral Hills Field Exploitation Project
 ü Unique opportunity to invest in California “in-field”
 drilling project
 ü Adjacent fields exploited by Chevron and Union Oil in
 1940s and 1950s
 ü Leases originally held by Chevron and Cal Minerals -
 never exploited
 ü Project lies between two fields that produced over
 50M barrels of oil
 ü Along this trend over 2Bn barrels of oil produced from
 four major fields
 ü Every one of the four target zones has produced oil in
 adjacent wells
 ü First well in this Project is permitted and ready to drill

Project Highlights
 ü Up to 25 Million barrel reserve potential.
 ü Within 1000 feet of production from a 50 Million barrel
 oil field.
 ü Potential production from four reservoirs proven
 productive within the field.
 ü Multiple targets can be tested with one well.
 ü On the nose of a Guijarral Hills/Coalinga anticline.
 ü Oil is migrating in the present day.
 ü 25 - 40 API gravity oil
 
 

 
Guijarral Hills Field Exploitation Project
Objective Drilling Zones
 ü Temblor: Up to 10 million barrels of oil in place
  Smith sand:
 » Porosity: 15 - 23%
 » Permeability 50 - 100 md
  Allison sand:
 » Porosity 20%
 » Permeability 100 - 200 md
  Leda sand:
 » Porosity 15 - 20%
 » Permeability 50 - 400 md
 ü Avenal/Gatchell: Up to 20 million barrels of oil in place
  Porosity: 10 - 15
  Permeability: 10 - 300 md
 ü All these zones were proven to be productive at the nearby
 Guijarral Hills Field

Economic Assumptions
    
 ü Assumes $80/bbl oil price with an initial flow rate of
 435 equivalent bbls/day.
 ü Expenses assume that wells flow for two years before
 requiring pumps to be installed.
 ü Under the terms of the proposed farmin, Blast will
 have a 67% working interest in the costs to bring the
 initial well on to production - which then drops to 50%
 on future wells and capital costs in the project.
 ü Assumes first revenue in June 2011.

Economic Impact
    
 ü Successful outcome in the first well has an estimated
 Net Present Value at 10% to Blast of $17,604 MM.
 ü A successful initial well is projected to generate six
 times more revenue annually than our current base
 business.
 ü Projected initial investment payout reached within one
 year.
 ü Assumes completion in only the Leda sand, one of
 four potential zones in the well.
 ü Does not include any economic benefit from
 additional development wells that may be drilled on
 this section or the acreage sections earned in the
 Project by participating in the initial well.

Upside Potential
    
 Twelve Well Case:
 ü Development drilling following a successful initial well
 could support up to eleven additional wells being
 drilled to exploit all four zones on this one tract.
 ü In this case, Blast may need to seek additional funds
 of up to $24 MM over the next two years.
 Thirty Well Case:
 ü Development and exploratory drilling on the other
 tracts in the Project could result in an additional 18
 wells being drilled.
 ü In this case, Blast may need to seek additional funds
 of up to $60 MM over the next three to four years.
