Declaration of Commerciality of 6 Discoveries in Block KG-OSN-2001/3

Jubilant is pleased to declare commerciality of six discoveries (KG-16, KG-22, KG-31, KG-21, KG-19 and KG-20SS) in Block KG-OSN-2001/3. GSPC, the Operator of the block, had submitted a commerciality analysis report on the six discoveries to the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas on 14th February 2013 and the same has been reviewed by the Management Committee as required under the terms of the Production Sharing Contract.

The Declaration of Commerciality ("DOC") of the six discoveries has been examined with the following parameters and reviewed by the Directorate General of Hydrocarbons, India ("DGH"):

 
a) Gas Initially             : Gross 8.392 TCF as estimated 
 In Place ("GIIP")            by DGH;Net to Jubilant being 
                              839 BCF. 
b) Recoverable Gas           : Gross 1.015 TCF as estimated 
 (Contingent Resources)       by DGH; Net to Jubilant being 
                              102 BCF 
c) Development Wells      : 25 wells (combination of 
                           dry tree and sub-sea wells) 
d) Production Facilities     :Platforms, Pipelines, Flow-lines, 
                              Process Umbilicals and Modifications 
                              of DDW Platform and Onshore 
                              Terminal 
 

The Operator has prepared a long term phased resource maturation plan for the development of total available resources in the discovery area. As part of this phased development, the approved DOC considers recoverable gas of 1.015 TCF for initial development out of 2C recoverable gas resources of 4.708 TCF on gross basis (corresponding GIIP 8.392 TCF). GCA had estimated 2C recoverable resources of 4.888 TCF (corresponding GIIP 9.178 TCF), as was announced on 6 September 2012.

The above discoveries exclude the DeenDayal West ("DDW") and DDW Extension areas.

Reconciliation between the Contingent Resource estimates as considered in the DOC compared to the GCA estimates announced on 6 September is detailed in the table below:

Notes and Glossary of abbreviations

The above resource figures have been estimated using the Petroleum Resources Management System published by the Society of Petroleum Engineers/ World Petroleum Council American Association of Petroleum Geologists/ Society of Petroleum Evaluation Engineers (SPE/WPC/AAPG/SPEE) in March 2007 ("SPE PRMS").

 
2C    Contingent Resources are those quantities 
       of petroleum estimated, as of a given 
       date, to be potentially recoverable from 
       known accumulations by application of 
       development projects, but which are not 
       currently considered to be commercially 
       recoverable due to one or more contingencies. 
       2C Contingent Resource is the Best Estimate.
