NKEMBE BLOCK, GABON
Nkembe block
Pura Vida’s second offshore oil project in a proven oil producing basin

80% interest and Operatorship in proven oil producing basin

1,000 km2 of existing 3D seismic

Exposes Pura Vida to a wide variety of exploration plays
associated with salt basins

Major operators in country include: Total, Shell, Tullow,
Petrobras, Perenco & Ophir

Low risk strategy to generate value from Nkembe with several
near-term catalysts:
-
resource certification
-
detailed review of historical seismic and drilling
-
new multi-azimuth 3D seismic
-
drilling

Loba M 1 Discovery in post salt

Loba M 1 tested the geology above the salt

The diagram (right) illustrates the Loba M 1 well
path which found a shallow oil zone

Deeper sub-salt reservoirs are known in the area
with traps interpreted to exist below the salt.
There are two major salt plays in Gabon, the
sub-salt (shallow) and pre-salt (deeper)

The pre-salt play has delivered multi-billion
barrels in Brazil and Angola

Pre-salt reservoirs are in production onshore
Gabon and Harvest recently announced a presalt discovery offshore

Sub-salt oil plays have produced billions of
barrels in the Gulf of Mexico and West Africa
