About 100 hydrocarbon-bearing
prospects have been found in
about 50 fields of which 30 fields
are commercial. Estimated oil
reserves are about 643 million
tons of crude oil and 644 cubic
metres of gas.

Vietnam is ranked fourth in South
East Asia for oil and gas
production and oil reserves, after
Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei.

Gas production began to increase
substantially in 2003 when fields
in the Nam Con Son basin came
onstream. Continued strong and
stready growth in output is
forecast to satisfy the growing
domestic gas market.

Vietnam’s oil and gas reserves
are offshore, mainly in the South
China Sea (known in Vietnam as
the East Seat), and in the Gulf
of Thailand. Reserves at depths
of less than 100 metres are
diminishing, particularly at the
major Bach Ho field in the Cuu
Long Basin. Vietnam is looking
to the greater challenges of the
large and largely unexploited
deepwater fields in the Nam Con
Son, Tu Chinh-Vung May, Phu
Khanh and Song Hong Basins.
Exploration has also started off
the island of Phu Quoc in the Gulf
of Thailand. The Malay-Tho Chu
Basin is also in the Gulf of
Thailand.
First oil production was in 1986
and output has risen, especially
from the Cuu Long basin. A large
increase in output occurred in
2004. Production will to rise to a
plateau in 2013/2014 after which
slow decline from the largest field,
Bach Ho, will only just be offset
by new developments, perhaps
eventually in deep waters.
Vietnam Oil Production
311
Vietnam’s production is offshore
from a series of basins along the
southern coastline underlying the
South China Sea.

Vietnam has a population of 90
million, 60% of whom are under
35; it has a working age
population of 56 million. Over the
last decade GDP growth averaged
8% and is forecast to average
6% per year for 2014-2017.
Vietnam’s import demand is
expected to grow by around
250% between 2010 and 2020
– faster than any other emerging
power, including China. This rapid
economic growth, industrialisation
and export market expansion is
driving domestic energy use.

Oil production is expected to
remain steady over the next 5
years, although it is likely to
diminish after that. There are two
major variables. If deepwater
fields can be successfully
developed, production would
expand. On the other hand,
political issues involving China in
the South China Sea could delay
exploration. Recently China called
for exploration bids for nine oil
and gas blocks which are in
Vietnam’s exclusive economic
zone. This was done shortly after
Vietnam passed its Law on the
Sea. To date there have been no
signs of major concern among
foreign investors in the
Vietnamese oil and gas industry

Coal Bed Methane
CBM in Vietnam remains a very
early stage industry. Nonetheless,
there is a high potential for CBM
to supply the domestic gas
market, particularly in northern
Vietnam where existing
conventional gas sources are
nearing depletion and demand is
increasing from local industrial
customers. CBM is well placed to
service this growing market with
the Red River Delta in northern
Vietnam containing a substantial
coal resource. There is a proposal
for the construction of a new
pipeline system to connect
offshore gas resources to the Red
River Delta.

• Over the past few decades
Vietnam has emerged a s a n
important oil and natural gas
producer in Southeast Asia.
Vietnam has boosted exploration
activities, allowed for greater
foreign company investment and
cooperation in the oil and gas
sectors, and introduced market
reforms to support the energy
industry. These measures have
helped to increase oil and gas
production. Also, the country's
rapid economic growth,
industrialization, and export
market expansion have spurred
domestic energy consumption.
• Successful exploration has
recently led to a substantial
increase in proved crude oil
reserves, which grew to 4.4 billion
barrels as of January 2013 from
0.6 billion barrels two years prior.
Vietnam's efforts to intensify
exploration and development of
its offshore fields have contributed
to the growth in reserves.
Ongoing exploration activities
could increase this figure in the
future, as Vietnam's waters
remain relatively underexplored.
Vietnam is currently the thirdlargest holder of crude oil reserves
in Asia, behind China and India.
• Vietnam produced around
365,000 barrels per day (bbl/d)
of oil in 2014, down from its peak
of 403,000 bbl/d in 2004. The
Cuu Long Basin has been the
primary area for oil production.
• Vietnam is a net exporter of
crude oil, but is a net importer
of oil products. With oil
consumption doubling from
176,000 bbl/d in 2000 to 388,000
bbl/d in 2012, the country must
import a majority of refined
products to satisfy demand.
• Vietnam has one operating
refinery, the 140,000- b b l / d
Dung Quat refinery, which came
online in 2009. Vietnam's stateowned Vietnam Oil & Gas
Corporation (PetroVietnam) is
looking to boost crude distillation
capacity to around 200,000 bbl/d
by 2017 and to develop Dung
Quat's ability to handle sweet
and less expensive sour crude oil
from Russia, the Middle East, and
Venezuela.
• Vietnam plans to offer 49
percent of Dung Quat's equity to
foreign investors in order to
finance the expansion of Dung
Quat. The Vietnamese
government is looking to build
two additional refineries, Nghi
Son and Long Son, though there
have been financial and land
c l e a r i n g i s s u e s t h a t h ave
prevented the completion of these
refineries.
• PetroVietnam is the key
company in the oil and natural
gas sectors and serves as the
primary operator and regulator
of the industry. Oil and natural
gas production is either
undertaken by PetroVietnam's
upstream
s u b s i d i a r y,
PetroVietnam Exploration and
Production (PVEP), or through
PetroVietnam's joint venture with
other companies.
• International Oil Companies
(IOCs) such as ExxonMobil,
Chevron, and Zarubezhneft have
formed partnerships with
PetroVietnam. IOCs must receive
approval from the Oil and Gas
Department of the Prime Minister,
and must negotiate upstream
licenses with PVEP.
• Vietnam currently holds 24.7
trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of proved
natural gas reserves, up from 6.8
Tcf in 2011. Increased foreign
investment since 2007 has led to
greater exploration, significantly
increasing Vietnam's proved
natural gas reserves.
• Vietnam produced 272 billion
cubic feet (Bcf) of dry natural gas
in 2011, all of which was
domestically consumed. The
country is currently self-sufficient
in natural gas, but PetroVietnam
predicts that there will be a
natural gas supply gap of 1.3 Bcf
per day by 2025 as demand
surpasses supply.
• The Vietnamese government
has considered importing liquefied
natural gas (LNG) in the future
to meet growing natural gas
demand. PetroVietnam (PV) Gas
has signed a memorandum of
understanding and a front-end
engineering and development
(FEED) contract with the Tokyo
Gas Company to develop the Thi
Vai LNG terminal in the Vung Tau
province.
• Vietnam produced about
49,079 thousand short tons of
coal in 2011, of which almost half
(23,739 thousand short tons) was
domestically consumed. Vietnam
exports a large portion of its coal
and also imports a small amount.
In 2013, the Vietnamese
government increased the coal
export tax to 13 percent from
10 percent to reduce exports and
satisfy growing energy demand
with domestic production,
particularly in the power sector.
Electricity consumption nearly
quadrupled from 22 billion
kilowatthours (KWh) in 2000 to
86 billion KWh in 2010 and was
generated almost entirely by
hydropower, natural gas, and
coal. Vietnam anticipates power
demand to more than triple to
330 billion KWh by 2020.
• Vietnam, the Philippines,
Malaysia, China, Taiwan, and
Brunei all claim sovereignty over
the Spratly Islands in the South
China Sea, which remains a key
territorial dispute for Vietnam.
Vietnam and several of its
neighbors have reached
agreements in principle in the
past to conduct joint exploration
for oil and natural gas resources
in the area, although continued
territorial disagreements have
hindered these efforts.

Oil and gas law in
Vietnam
Legal framework
The Law on Petroleum 1993, as
amended in 2000 and 2008, is
the principal legislative instrument
that governs the oil and gas
industry.
In the Law,
“Petroleum” is defined to
include crude oil, natural gas and
hydrocarbons. It includes coal
bed methane and sulphur; and
to exclude coal, shale, bitumen
and other minerals from which
oil can be extracted;
“Petroleum operations” is
defined as being exploration
activities, field development and
production of petroleum, and it
includes services directly related
to or in support of such activities;
“Contractor” means any
Vietnamese or foreign
organisation which is permitted
to conduct petroleum operations
pursuant to a petroleum contract:
“Petroleum contract” means
any contract between PVN and
a n o t h e r p a r ty t o c o n d u c t
petroleum operations.
“Encouraged petroleum
investment projects” are
projects in deepwater and remote
areas or in regions with extremely
difficult geographical or geological
conditions as determined by the
Prime Minister.
The Government determines the
blocks which will be made
available for exploration. All
samples, data and information
collected during petroleum
operations are the property of
Vietnam.
A contractor producing oil may
be entitled to retain and export
an agreed percentage of the
production, and it may remit
income.
Royalties and taxes
Royalties must be paid on oil
production. There is a scale of
royalties with concessional rates
for encouraged projects. The
lowest rate is imposed on crude
output of up to 20,000 b/d of 10
per cent (7 per cent for
encouraged projects); the highest
rate is imposed on crude output
of above 150,000 b/d at the rate
of 29 per cent (23 per cent for
encouraged projects).
Corporate income tax (“CIT”)
rates on petroleum exploration
and extraction in Vietnam are
between 32 per cent - 50 per
cent as decided by the Prime
Minister.
Foreign contractor tax (“FCT”) is
a type of withholding tax imposed
on offshore contractors.The
calculation of FCT will vary
depending on the method of tax
payment is chosen by the foreign
contractor, the precise nature of
the goods or services being
provided, the duration of the
contract and whether the foreign
contractor has a permanent
presence in Vietnam. It is
imposed on revenue in respect
of both CIT and VAT.
Import duties are applied but
there are exemptions for many
imported goods which are used
in the oil and gas industry. These
include equipment and machinery,
specialised means of transport,
health and office equipment, and
materials which cannot be
produced in Vietnam. Export
duties are imposed on the export
of crude oil.
VAT is imposed at a standard rate
of ten per cent. Equipment,
machinery, spare parts, specialuse means of transport and
necessary supplies which cannot
be domestically produced yet and
which are required to be imported
to be used in prospecting,
exploration, and development of
oil and gas fields; drilling
platforms which are not yet able
to be produced domestically and
which are required to be imported
to form fixed assets of enterprises
or which are leased from foreign
parties for use in production and
business and in order to be subleased; and export products being
exploited natural resources and
minerals which have not yet been
processed; are not subject to VAT.
The standard VAT rate is ten per
cent.
Vietnam has double tax treaties
with 62 countries, including most
jurisdictions where petroleum
contractors operating in Vietnam
have headquarters, but excluding
the USA.
Taxes are imposed on gas
production. For gas output of up
to 5 million cubic meters/day, the
royalty is 1 per cent for
encouraged projects and 2 per
cent for standard projects at
minimum scale; and may reach
6 per cent and 10 per cent
respectively for gas output of
above 10 million cubic meters/day
at maximum scale.
If exported, the oil and gas
production upon which royalties
have been paid shall be exempted
from 10 per cent export tax
applicable to crude oil and
condensate.
Any sale of equity in a Vietnamese
company by an oil and gas
contractor is subject to CIT at the
standard rate (currently 25 per
cent). It is not subject to VAT.
An environmental protection tax
commenced in 2012. It is
imposed on goods which may
cause damage to the
environment, including oil and
gas. It applies to both the
production and import of
petroleum products. An
exemption exists from most
exported products.
Contractors are also obliged to
contribute part of their annual
operating cost to the Petroleum
Science and Technology Research
Fund run by PVN.
Contracts
The Law sets out the main items
t h a t m u s t a p p e a r i n a ny
p e t r o l e u m c o n t ra c t . S u c h
contracts can be for a period of
up to twenty five years, including
an exploration period not
exceeding five years, for standard
projects. For encouraged projects
contracts may be up to thirty
years with exploration periods of
seven years. The Prime Minister
may extend a contract for five
years and the exploration period
f o r t w o ye a r s u n l e s s t h e
Government authorises a longer
period. In the event of force
majeure, the contract may be
suspended by consent for up to
three years. A petroleum contract
may only extend over two blocks,
unless the Government authorises
a wider scope.
T h e c o n t ra c t m u s t b e i n
Vietnamese but may also be in a
foreign language in which case
both versions are equally valid.
A contract can only be assigned
with the consent of the
Government, and PVN has first
priority in the event of an
assignment. Foreign arbitration
is permitted if either of the parties
is foreign individual or
organization. Foreign law may
govern the contract, but the
provisions of the contract must
be consistent with Vietnamese
law.
Exploration and production
contracts are usually in Production
Sharing Contracts (PSCs), the
form of which is legislated.
Refineries may be developed
under BOT and similar forms.
Service providers usually operate
under BCCs, which are a form of
joint venture contract. Sometimes
a subsidiary will be established
which is jointly owned by the
foreign service provider and the
r e l e v a n t P V N s u b s i d i a r y.
Petroleum sharing contracts
On 22 April 2013, the
Government published a revised
form of PSC which is effective
from 8 June 2013. PVN will only
enter into the PSC in the
prescribed form unless additional
arrangements have been included
in the successful tender. The
Prime Minister may approve the
use of a separate form, but this
would only happen in very
unusual circumstances and the
form still must contain prescribed
main contents.
CHINA
Hanoi

The revised PSC is contained in
Decree 33-2013 ND-CP. It is
effective from 8 June 2013. It
does not apply to PSCs that are
in existence as well as blocks of
which fundamental economic,
technical and commercial
conditions approved by the Prime
Minister prior to that date.

2. The revised PSC requires PVN
to provide notice within 120 days

Contractors.
3. PVN is given extra termination
rights. There arise where the
Contractor fails to commence

development plan or ceases
development activities under
approved schedule during six
consecutive months, and where
production does not commence
within twelve months of the
scheduled time or ceases
exploitation activities during three
consecutive months.

In July 2012, Eni signed an
agreement with the Indian
company Essar for the acquisition
of 50% and the operatorship of
the exploration block 114, located
off the coast of Vietnam in the
Song Hong basin.
Exploration activities on the new
block foresee the acquisition of
3D seismic survey data and the
drilling of two wells. The block,
which extends over about 5,900
square kilometres, has a high
potential and is located in an area
where there have been recent
important exploration successes.
In the same basin, on June 25
Eni signed acquisition agreements
for two more blocks. Specifically,
with the companies KrisEnergy
and Neon Energy Eni signed an
agreement for the acquisition of
two exploration blocks located in
offshore Vietnam, respectively,
in the Song Hong and Phu Khanh
basins, in the Gulf of Tonkin. It
is estimated that the Song Hong
basin, where significant
breakthroughs have recently
been recorded, containes 10%
o f V i e t n a m ’s hyd r o c a r b o n
resources, mainly gas.
The agreement relates to blocks
105-110/04 and 120, of which
Eni is operator with a 50%
interest, while KrisEnergy and
Neon Energy will own 25% each.
The two blocks extend over a
total of about 15,600 square
kilometres. In the short term,
exploration activities will involve
for the acquisition of 3D seismic
data and the drilling of two
exploration wells.
Both of these agreements are
subject to approval by the
competent
Vietnamese
authorities.
Joint Technical Study
Agreement to Evaluate The
Potential Of Unconventional
Hydrocarbons in Vietnam
In February 2013, the President
and CEO of Vietnam Oil and Gas
Group (Petrovietnam), the
national oil company, Do Van
Hau, and the Chief Executive
Officer of Eni, Paolo Scaroni,
today signed an agreement in
Hanoi for the joint assessment
of unconventional hydrocarbons
potential of the country. The
agreement follows the signing of
a Memorandum of Understanding
between the two companies on
21 January 2013 in Rome, which
provides Petrovietnam with the
opportunity to expand its
international activities and the
opportunity for Eni to consolidate
its presence in Vietnam.
The study will be carried out by
a mixed Petrovietnam-Eni team
and will benefit from Eni’s
substantial wealth of knowledge
and proprietary expertise.
Offshore Block 122
In June 2014, Eni signed a
Production Sharing Contract
(PSC) for the exploration of the
offshore Block 122.
Block 122 covers an area of
6,900 sqkm in the Phu Khanh
Basin, in waters depth up to
2,000 meters. The exploration
period will last 7 years, subdivided
in 2 phases.
Eni Vietnam
This new agreement confirms
Eni’s interest to continue and
consolidate its presence in
Vietnam, where the company
returned in 2012.
Blocks 116 and 124
In October 2014, Eni signed two
Production Sharing Contracts
(PSCs) for the exploration of
blocks 116 and 124, located off
the coast of Vietnam.
Block 116 covers an area of about
5,000 sqkm in the Song Hong
basin, in waters with a depth
ranging from 10 to 120 meters.
The PSC block, wholly owned by
Eni, provides for an exploration
period of seven years divided into
3 phases.
Block 124 covers an area of 6,000
sqkm in the Phu Khanhbasin, in
waters that have a depth ranging
from 50 to 2,600 meters. The
PSC provides for an exploration
2 phases. This block is held by
Eni, which is the operator with a
60% stake, and by Santos
Vietnam with a 40% stake.
Seismic program
In March 2015, the CGG Amadeus
vessel commenced a 570 sq. km.
3D seismic acquisition program
in the Block 120 exploration
acreage offshore central Vietnam.
Block 120 covers 6,869 sq. km
overlying the Quang Ngai Graben
and the Tri Ton Horst where water
depths range from 50 to 650
metres. The graben connects the
Song Hong and Qiongdongnan
Basins in the north to the Phu
Khanh Basin in the south.
Eni Vietnam B.V. is the operator
with 66.67% working interest in
Block 120 and is partnered by

exploration activities include
acquiring seismic data and drilling
exploratory wells.
In October 2011, ExxonMobil
discovered oil and gas off
Vietnam's central coast. The
discovery lies in the South China
Sea, where Vietnam has rich oil
reserves. State-run PetroVietnam
and international oil companies
already produce at several major
fields in the area. A number of
companies recently have found
oil in the region, including
Malaysia's Petroliam Nasional

First success
A commercial gas inflow was
obtained in August 2007 during
the first exploratory well testing
in Bao Vang as part of the
prospecting activities in block
112 offshore Vietnam in the Gulf
of Bac Bo performed by
Vietgazprom.
According to the survey data, gas
flow rate was up to 400,000 cubic
meters a day. The well output
also showed the presence of gas
condensate.
In addition, in 2009 the
neighboring area of Bao Den
yielded 300,000 cubic meters of
gas a day. Therefore, two fields
were discovered within block 112.
Cooperation broadening
In April 2012 Gazprom and
Petrovietnam signed an
agreement on Gazprom
involvement in the development
project for blocks 05.2 and 05.3
offshore Vietnam in the South
China Sea. The document
stipulates that Gazprom will
obtain a 49 per cent stake in the
Production Sharing Agreements
that set forth the conditions
required for implementing the
project. The Russian party in this
project will be represented by
Gazprom EP International.
Two gas and condensate fields –
Moc Tinh (block 05.3) and Hai
Thach (blocks 05.2 and 05.3), as
well as the Kim Cuong Tay oil
field (block 05.2) were discovered
within the blocks. The aggregate
reserves of the two gas and
condensate fields are evaluated
at 55.6 billion cubic meters of
gas and 25.1 million tons of gas
condensate.
It is planned to launch the
construction of 16 production
wells 2,000 to 4,600 meters deep
in order to develop the fields.
At present, the pre-development
of these fields is nearly completed
and the first exploratory well
construction has started. The Hai
Thach and Moc Tinh fields output
will be delivered to shore through
the existing Nam Con Son
trunkline.

Geopetrol was formed in the early
nineties - at a time when the oil
industry economy was in a down
turn - with a strong commitment
to maintain the oil and gas
production of old fields known as
"mature fields". These fields,
which were ready to be closed
due to the policies of the "majors"
to concentrate on projects more
in line with their size, were taken
over by Geopetrol and thus given
a second life. The Geopetrol
organisation has always been
adapted to the size of the
purchased Assets, which enables
the optimisation of operational
costs and the extension of the
duration of profitable exploitation.
Similar opportunities will come
into existence in many countries,
with more fields becoming mature
with time.
Geopetrol group has successfully
developed its activities in several
countries, mainly France, Vietnam
and India. Recently, by investing
in CANDAX, listed in Toronto,
Geopetrol was able to set up a
long term presence in Tunisia.
In April 2012, a Production
Sharing Agreement was signed
with the Ministry of Oil and
Minerals in Yemen for Block 80,
located in the Wadi Sar region.
Geopetrol International is
operator of the block.
In February 2012, Geopetrol
finalised a partnership agreement
with Sonoro Energy Ltd. for the
exploration and production of
heavy oil in the province of Salah
Ad Din in Iraq.
In January 2012, Geopetrol
announced the award of a
Production Sharing Contract by
the Ministry of Energy in
Myanmar for the block RSF-9 in
partnership with the local
company A-1 Construction.
Geopetrol has been elected
designated Operator.
In September 2011, a partnership
agreement was concluded with
Mitra Energy (Operator) for the
offshore block Biliton in the Java
Sea in Indonesia.

Geopetrol International holds
3.5% of Block 15-1 in the Cuu
Long Basin, offshore South-east
Vietnam.
Geopetrol
International’s partners are
Petrovietnam, Perenco, KNOC
and SK Energy. Four fields have
been discovered so far (3 oil fields
and 1 gas field).
The first oil discovery was in the
region of Su Tu Den, in August
2000, with production starting in
October 2003.
A second oil discovery in the Su
Tu Vang region was made in
October 2001. Production started
in October 2008.
This was followed by a third
discovery in November 2003 in
the region of Su Tu Trang showing
gas and condensate reservoirs.
Three appraisal wells are being
drilled on the site with production
tests to be performed. First gas
production should start in 2012.
Finally, a fourth discovery was
made in September 2005 in the
region of Su Tu Nau. It is currently
being appraised. First oil
production should start in 2014.
About 200 million barrels of oil
have been recovered from Block
15-1 until January 2011. The
average daily production of oil in
2010 was around 90,000 bopd
(for 100%).

for the Blocks 05-1b and 05-1c
offshore Vietnam. After the official
approval from the Vietnamese
government as of November 18,
we established an operation office
in Ho Chi Minh City in January
2005 and commenced the
exploration activities.
These blocks are located 350 km
southeast of Ho Chi Minh City
and under the same basin as the
Dai Hung field and the Lan
Tay/Lan Do gas fields in highly
potential gas and oil producing
basins. A 3D seismic survey
covering 598 km 2 and a 2D
seismic survey covering
approximately 500 km, were
acquired in 2005. The first
exploratory well was drilled in
2007. An additional 2D seismic
survey covering approximately
1,800 km was acquired in 2007
and 2008. As the results of
evaluation of geological potential
based on 2D seismic data
acquired in 2007 and 2008, the
decision was made to proceeding
into Phase Two. As a result of the
second exploratory well which
was
drilled
in
2010,
accumulations of oil and gas were
confirmed. A 3D seismic survey
covering 814 km2 was acquired
in order to evaluate oil and gas
discovered structure and other
potential prospects in these
blocks. As the results of detailed
evaluation, the decision was
made to proceeding into Phase
Three.

Block 127
Mitra operates the PSC with
100% equity. The PSC represents
Mitra's first foray into frontier
deepwater exploration in
Vietnam. Activities are focused
on the unexplored deepwater,
eastern half of the block. This is
in view of the significant
hydrocarbon potential in the area,
associated with a thick, Tertiary
age sedimentary section.
Block MVHN/12KS
Mitra operates the PSC with
100% equity. As a technical
partner, Halliburton International
Inc. contributes their global
experience in unconventional
hydrocarbon exploration and
production to the exploration
effort.
Farm-out
In August 2014, AziPac, through
its subsidiary Azimuth Vietnam,
has signed a farm-in agreement
with Mitra Energy, the operator,
for a 25% participating interest
in Block 127 PSC, offshore
Vietnam. As part of the deal,
AziPac will pay a working interest
share of the approved past costs
and carry part of Mitra's costs of
acquisition and processing of a
3D seismic survey, scheduled to
be acquired in the second half of
2014. Acquisition of the 3D
survey will complete the work
programme obligations for the
current Exploration Phase which
expires on 24 May, 2016.
Upon completion of the farm-in,
the participating interests in the
Block 127 PSC will be as follows:
Mitra Energy (Vietnam Phu

Vietnam Limited 25%.
3D seismic acquisition
In June 2015, Mitra Energy,
through its subsidiary operating
company Mitra Energy (Vietnam
Phu Khanh) Pte Ltd, commenced
3D seismic survey acquisition
operations in the Block 127 PSC
area, offshore Vietnam. The
survey is being undertaken by
PTSC CGGV Geophysical Survey
Co utilising the 3D seismic survey
vessel 'Amadeus'. The 3D seismic
survey is planned to cover a fullfold area of 533 sq kms and will
fulfil the PSC Exploration Phase

An exploration well, 51-TC-1X
(Tho Chu Prospect) was drilled in
October 2012 to a total depth of
3,185m MD and was a significant
gas and liquids discovery.
Independent evaluation estimates
the Tho Chu field to have a net
2C Contingent Resource of 37.7
mmboe to a high estimate (3C)
Contingent Resource of 55.2
mmboe. Mitra and partners will
drill an appraisal well on the Tho
Chu field in late 2013. A 622 km²
3D survey was also undertaken
in Q3 2012 in the southeastern
part of the block, where appraisal
drilling on existing gas discoveries
is anticipated in 2014.
In 2010, Mitra (70% and operator)
and PVEP (30%) signed a PSC
with Petrovietnam for Block 46/07,
offshore Vietnam. Block 46/07
covers an area of 3,281 km² and
is located adjacent to Block 51,
on the northeast margin of the
Malay Basin. Mitra completed the
acquisition of a commitment 387
km² 3D seismic survey over the
northwest corner of the block in
2010, the interpretation of which
has yielded a prospect inventory
with a net high estimate (P10)
Prospective Resource size of 170
mmboe. The prospects lie
immediately on trend with oil and
gas discoveries and production in
neighbouring blocks 46/02 and
46-CN and as such are regarded
as relatively low risk. Two
exploration wells are scheduled
to be drilled within the block in
the second quarter of 2013. The
first well, 46/07-ND-1X, was
drilled in May 2013 and resulted
in an oil and gas discovery with
over 40 metres TVD thickness of
net pay. The second well, 46/07HC-1X, was spudded in July 2013.
In 2011, the same Mitra and PVEP
partnership signed another PSC
with Petrovietnam for Block 45.
The block covers 4,677 km² and
is situated adjacent to both Block
51 and Block 46/07. A 270 km²
3D seismic survey was acquired
ahead of PSC signing, the
evaluation of which was fast-
tracked in order to parallel the
Block 46/07 evaluation. Two key
prospects have been identified
with a combined net high
estimate (P10) Prospective
Resource size of 145 mmboe.
One of these prospects was drilled
by an exploration well, 45-VT1X, in June 2013, which was a
sub-commercial oil and gas
discovery. Mitra is now conducting
post well evaluation before
deciding on next exploration
activities.
Mitra and Talisman entered into
separate farm-out agreements
for the partial assignment of
Mitra's participating interest in
the Block 46/07 and Block 45
PSCs in December 2012. Under
the terms of the agreements,
Mitra assigned a 35%
participating interest in each PSC
to Talisman.
In 2012, Mitra signed a PSC with
Petrovietnam for Block 127,
offshore Vietnam on a 100%
equity basis. Block 127 covers
an area of over 9,000 km² and
is located at the southern end of
the Phu Khanh Basin, off the
southeast coast of Vietnam.
Water depths in the block extend
from less than 20m in the west
to over 2,000m in the east.
Mitra's activities are focused on
the unexplored deep water,
eastern half of the block. Mitra
believes there to be significant
hydrocarbon potential in this
area, associated with a thick,
Tertiary age sedimentary section.
A commitment 2D seismic survey
was completed in October 2012,
in which a total of 4,015 full fold
line km of 2D data was acquired
on behalf of Mitra by PTSC G&S
using the M/V Binh Minh 02. The
new seismic data set will allow
for better characterisation of the
basin and for the high grading of
areas for exploration drilling. The
data is currently being
interpreted. Initial evaluation
showed that the three leads
identified could contain a
combined net high estimate (P10)
Prospective Resource of up to
2,087 mmboe.
Mitra entered into a Shale Gas
PSC with Petrovietnam for Block
MVHN/12KS, onshore Vietnam in
February 2013. Mitra operates
the Shale Gas PSC with 100%
working interest, with Halliburton
International Inc. in the venture
as technical consultant. Initial
work programme consists of
seismic reprocessing, well
analyses
for
shale
characterization, basin modeling
and pilot hole preparation.

Mubadala Oil and Gas builds on
Abu Dhabi’s rich heritage in
hydrocarbons to pursue
opportunities that will meet the
Emirates current and future
energy demands.
Primary focus is on upstream oil
and gas opportunities. Mubadala
have been able to leverage the
e xc e l l e n t c o m m e r c i a l a n d
governmental relationships they
have established over the years,
both to facilitate the expansion
of their operations, and to build
capability in new regions including
MENA, Central and South East
Asia.
Mubadala's assets in these
regions have been complemented
by expansion into new territories,
such as the Caspian Sea. The
company are also active in R&D
in the renewable energy sector
and in developing technologies
that will facilitate the
commercialization
and
widespread adoption of
alternative energy sources.
In Southeast Asia, the company
acts as operator across an
extensive range of assets located
in Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia
and Vietnam. In the Gulf of
Thailand, Mubadala have
developed a strong track record
of safe, efficient and cost-effective
production operations, and are
bringing forward several new
developments.
Vietnam operations
Mubadala have been involved in
a number of exciting
opportunities offshore Vietnam
since 2007. The company has
built up valuable partnerships
with Petrovietnam, Talisman, and
other industry participants.
Appraisal
Block 07/03 is located in the Nam
Con Son Basin and contains the
Ca Rong Do (CRD) oil and gas
field, which was discovered in
2009. Mubadala Petroleum holds
25 percent interest and Talisman
is operator. Appraisal well CRD3X successfully tested the
reserves potential in 2013 and
post well studies will confirm
commerciality and identify the
preferred development concept.
CRD, which at over 320 meters,
would be the deepest water
development to date in Vietnam.
Exploration
Mubadala are actively exploring
three blocks in Vietnam. The
company operates Block 04-2,
holding 90 percent interest.
Blocks 135 & 136/3 are located
adjacent to CRD offshore Vietnam
and Mubadala Petroleum acquired
a 20 percent interest in this deep
water block in May 2011.
Operator Talisman Energy
acquired 3D seismic data in 2012
and the joint venture plans to
drill the first exploration wells in
2014. Mubadala Petroleum plans
to drill between three to five
exploration prospects across
Blocks 04-2, 07/03 and 135 &

Headquartered in El Dorado,
Arkansas, the company was
o r i g i n a l l y i n c o r p o ra t e d i n
Louisiana in 1950 as Murphy
Corporation.
It
was
reincorporated in Delaware in
1964, at which time it adopted
the name Murphy Oil Corporation.
But, the Company's roots go back
to a lumber and banking business
in South Arkansas and, more
directly, to 1907, when the first
oil production was established in
the Caddo Field in North
Louisiana. Thereafter, oil and gas
were important phases of the
business. Until the mid 1930's
however, oil and gas remained
subordinate to timber operations
and banking.
Today, Murphy Oil Corporation is
an international oil and gas
company that conducts business
through various operating
subsidiaries. The Company
produces oil and natural gas in
the United States, Canada, the
United Kingdom, Malaysia, and
Republic of the Congo and
conducts exploration activities
worldwide. The Company owns
marketing operations in the
United States and the United
Kingdom, including a refinery in
Milford Haven, Wales.
Vietnam operations
Murphy entered Vietnam in 2012
with the award of deepwater
Blocks 144 and 145. In 2013,
the Company were awarded
shallow water Block 11-2/11 and
farmed into Block 13-03. The
three PSCs give Murphy a balance
between higher risk deepwater
opportunities and lower risk
shallow water opportunities,
similar to the position they
acquired when entering Malaysia.
Murphy are actively evaluating
additional opportunities in the
country which they feel is
underexplored.

funds the Company’s overheads
and distinguishes Neon from
many of their peer companies.
In California Neon is focused on
maximising cashflow from North
San Ardo and appraising
significant hydrocarbon
resources which are proven at
its Paloma and Paris Valley
projects.
Neon was formed in 2009
through the purchase of private
company Neon Energy Pty Ltd
by Salinas Energy Limited, an
ASX listed entity. The merged
entity combined Neon’s highly
prospective Vietnamese
exploration assets with Salinas
Energy’s diverse portfolio of
Californian production, appraisal
and exploration assets. Since
that time the Company has

as 100% participating interest
holder and Operator. In early
2010 Neon signed the Block
105-110/04 Production Sharing
Contract and farmed out an
interest in both blocks to
KrisEnergy Ltd, in return for
KrisEnergy funding the 2D
seismic work commitment in the
blocks.
In June 2012 both Neon and
KrisEnergy reached agreement
with Eni Vietnam B.V., a wholly
owned subsidiary of Eni SpA, to
farmout an interest in the blocks
in return for Eni carrying Neon
and KrisEnergy through two 3D
seismic programmes and two
exploration wells. Eni will
become Operator of the joint
ventures, subject to the
approval of farmout by the
Vietnamese authorities, with
Neon retaining a 25%
participating interest in each
block.
Block 105
Block 105-110/04 ("Block 105")
is located in the central Song
Hong Basin, offshore Vietnam,
covering an area of some 7,192
Sq Km in water depths of 20 to
80 metres. Although there are
a number of significant
discoveries in the area, Block
105 has seen very little
exploration activity, with no
wells drilled to date.
Neon acquired a 90% interest
as Operator of the Block 105
Production Sharing Contract in
early 2010, and subsequently
farmed down to KrisEnergy Ltd
in order to fund the 2D seismic
work commitment. Neon and
KrisEnergy then farmed down
to Eni S.p.A. in 2012, in order
to fund a discretionary 3D
seismic programme and the
drilling of the commitment
exploration well.
The 800km2 3D programme was
completed in mid 2012 and was
designed to delineate a specific
well location for the Cua Lo gas
prospect; located on the eastern
side of the block in 80 metres
of water. The resulting high
quality 3D seismic dataset has
resulted in an improved
understanding of the potential
reservoir and hydrocarbon
distribution, leading to the
identification of additional
potential Miocene/Pliocene pay
zones. All potential pay zones
are supported by Direct
Hydrocarbon Indicators (DHIs);
seismic attributes often
associated with the presence of
hydrocarbons.
Cua Lo is located some 40 km
s o u t hw e s t o f t h e C h i n e s e
Dongfang gas fields. Both Cua
Lo and Dongfang are adjacent
to an extensive and deep
hydrocarbon source "kitchen".
The main structure at Dongfang
hosts reserves of 3.5 TCF gas
within fine grained Pliocene
clastic reservoirs that have
quality to those at Dongfang;
being coarser grained due to a
more proximal location relative
to the Miocene-Pliocene
sediment source.
Netherland Sewell & Associates
Inc. (NSAI) completed a
Prospective
Resource
Assessment of Block 105 and
confirmed gross unrisked
prospective recoverable
resources for Cua Lo of 3.9 TCF
gas (best estimate) to 13.9 TCF
gas (high estimate). NSAI’s
assessment was based upon the
2D seismic data that was
available at the time, and is
based only on two prospective
zones.
While the areal extent of the
prospect remains broadly
comparable to that assessed by
NSAI, the identification of
additional prospective zones
from the new 3D seismic volume
provides scope for the discovery
of additional volumes.
The Cua Lo-1 exploration well
was spudded on 11 August
2013.

Block 120
Block 120 is located at the
southern end of the Song Hong
Basin, offshore Vietnam,
covering an area of 8,469 Sq
Km in water depths of 50 to
1,100 metres. The block has
seen very little exploration
activity, with only one well
drilled to date, by BHP in 1993.
The 120-CS-1X well was
drilled on the Triton Horst,
immediately east of the Quang
Ngai Graben. BHP discovered a
6 metre oil column and 32
metres of oil shows within a
carbonate reservoir, with drilling
halted for operational reasons
before the planned Total Depth
was reached. This result proves
the presence of a working
petroleum system within the
block.
Neon acquired a 100% interest
as Operator of the Block 120
Production Sharing Contract in
early 2009, and subsequently
farmed down to KrisEnergy Ltd
in order to fund the 2D seismic
work commitment. Neon and
KrisEnergy then farmed down
to Eni S.p.A. in 2012, in order
to fund a discretionary 3D
seismic programme and the
drilling of the commitment
exploration well.
The 500km2 3D programme was
completed in mid 2012 and was
designed to high-grade several
prospects to facilitate prospect
selection for drilling. The
resulting high quality 3D seismic
dataset has brought a
Neon Energy Vietnam
significantly improved
understanding of the potential

probable hydrocarbon migration
pathways, and also helped to
identify an additional prospect.
The 3D data also reveals a
deeper Oligocene section than
previously thought (based on
the 2D seismic), thereby
opening up the possibility of a
gas system being present, in
addition to the proven oil
system.
The primary prospects are Ca

Early in July 2010, PPP Vietnam
Pty Limited (PPPV), a wholly
owned subsidiary of the
Company, received the requisite
approvals to acquire a 5%
interest in the Block 07/03
Production Sharing Contract from
Premier Oil Vietnam South BV
(Premier). Under the terms of
the original farmout agreement,
PPPV agreed to acquire a 15%
equity in Block 07/03 subject to
PetroVietnam and Vietnamese
Government approvals.
PetroVietnam subsequently
exercised its right of pre-emption
to the extent of 10% of the
proposed 15% farmout interest.
The main objective in Block 07/03
is oil in Miocene sandstone
r e s e r vo i r s i n f a u l t t ra p s .
The Company participated in the
first commitment exploration well,
Cá Rong Ðo, CRD-1X , which was
completed in June 2009. The well
encountered both oil and gas pay
within multiple stacked reservoir
layers in Miocene and Oligocene
sands. Two of these reservoir
zones in the Miocene section were
tested and flowed oil at a
combined rate of 3,265.4 bbls of
oil per day plus 8.1 MMscf of gas
per day, through a 48/64” choke.
No water was produced from
either zone. It was not possible
to flow test the Oligocene sands
at that time.
The second commitment
exploration well, Cá Rong Vàng
CRV-1X, spudded in November
2009 did not encounter any
significant hydrocarbons, and the
well was plugged and abandoned
as planned. Cá Rong Vàng well
did, however, provide important
pressure data which has been
used in assessing the CRD
discovery.
The Cá Rong Ðo discovery of
2009 was further delineated in
early 2011 by the drilling of the
CRD-2X appraisal well which
evaluated the Oligocene sands
Pan Pacific Petroleum Vietnam
and
found
72m
net
condensate/gas pay, a significant
increase compared with the 17m
of net pay found in the Oligocene
section in the up dip CRD-1X well.
Two zones were tested and the
first zone tested flowed gas and
condensate at rates of 9.7
MMscf/d and 870 bopd
respectively through a 40/64”
choke. The second zone tested
flowed gas and condensate at
rates of 17 MMscf/d and 1730
bopd respectively through a
56/64” choke. CRD-2X was
subsequently sidetracked to
further evaluate the distribution
of hydrocarbons in the Miocene
and intersected 18.3m of net oil
pay in the Miocene sands. This
compares with 34.4m of net oil
pay found in the Miocene section
in the up dip CRD-1X well, and
3.8m in the down dip CRD-2X
well.
The Operator’s preliminary
estimate of the range of
potentially recoverable oil
resources in the CRD structure
(low-mid-high) is 20-40-65
MMbbls gross. However, further
work will be required to confirm
these numbers, and to assess
the potential of gas resources
which are also contained in the
structure.
The venture is in the second
e x p l o ra t i o n p e r i o d o f t h e

Discovery
In October 2015, the joint
venture of Zarubezhneft and
Petrovietnam Vietsovpetro made
a commercial discovery of the
Sturgeon field offshore Socialist
Republic of Vietnam.
It has happened as a result of
the successful testing of the
exploration well CT-3X Block
09/3-12 which achieved a dry oil
free flow to surface from the
productive horizons of more than
1 800 tons per day.
The Sturgeon (Ca Tam) field was
discovered in 2014 in course of
the exploration well 2-X testing.
The field is located within the
Block 09/3-12. The oil reserves
calculation shall be made and a
design project for bringing the
field into development shall be
prepared basing on the results
of the commercial discovery.

Premier Oil Far East Limited
Premier Oil plc (Premier) is a
leading FTSE 250 independent
company with interests in the
North Sea, South East Asia, Africa,
Pakistan, Iraq, Brazil and the
Falkland Islands. The company’s
strategy is to add significant value
for its stakeholders through
exploration and appraisal success,
optimal asset management and
development, and astute
commercial deals.
Premier is building a rapidly
growing business. In 2005, the
company was producing around
30,000 barrels of oil equivalent
per day (boepd) and was targeting
doubling the size of the business.
The company had a 2P reserve
base of around 175 million barrels
of oil equivalent (mmboe). Today,
Premier is producing around
60,000 boepd from a reserve and
resource base in excess of 700
mmboe and is on track to achieve
its corporate goal of being a
100,000 boepd producer in the
medium term.

In the first half of 2014,
production averaged 64.9 kboepd
(2013: 58.6 kboepd), up 11 per
cent and ahead of guidance; new
production from Dua (Vietnam),
Kyle (UK) and the gas swap
(Indonesia).
Vietnam operations
Premier has exploration,
development and production
activities across two licences in
Vietnam. The company's
Vietnamese interests includes the
Premier-operated Chim Sao field
which Premier brought onstream
in the second half of 2012, the
Dua project, which will be
developed as subsea tie back to
Chim Sao, and Ca Rong Doh, a
future development project. In
addition, Premier continue to
explore across their existing
acreage and notable successes
include the Chim Sao North West
discovery and the successful
appraisal of CRD in 2011.
Chim Sao (53.13% operated
interest)
Premier acquired a 75% interest
in Block 12W located in the Nam
Con Son Basin from Delek Energy
Systems Limited (Delek) in 2004
,and subsequently farmed-out
part of its interest to Santos
Limited leaving a 37.5% operated
interest. In 2009, Premier
acquired Delek's remaining 25%
interest in Block 12W and
PetroVietnam subsequently
exercised its back-in-right to
acquire a 15% interest.
The area has similar geology to
the West Natuna Sea area,
approximately 300 kilometres to
the south west. Premier
announced two discoveries – Dua
and Chim Sáo – on the block in
2006. Dua was appraised following
the discovery while Chim Sáo was
successfully appraised in 2008.
A field development plan for Chim
Sáo was submitted to the
Premier Oil Vietnam
Vietnamese Government and
approved in 2008. First oil
production from Chim Sáo was
achieved in October 2011 and the
field is currently producing
25,000-30,000 bopd while gas
production is approximately 25
mmcfd. Meanwhile Dua, a subsea
tie-back to Chim Sáo, was
successfully completed in July
2013. The field is capable of
producing 8-10 kbopd gross and
will extend the production from
Block 12W and field life out to
2023.
Ca Rong Doh (30% operated
interest)
Premier exercised their option to
acquire an equity interest in Block
07/03 from Vietnam American
Exploration Inc. (VAMEX) in
December 2006. Block 07/03 is
located in the Nam Con Son Basin.
It lies on a trend of oil and gas
discoveries directly south of BP's
producing gas fields (Lan Tay and
Lan No) and immediately to the
south east of their producing Chim
Sao field.
In 2009, the CRD exploration well
(07-CRD-1X) on Block 07/03
intersected approximately 90
metres net oil and gas pay within
multiple stacked reservoir layers.
In April 2011, Premier appraised
the exploration success at CRD in
Block 07/03. Two drill stem tests
of hydrocarbon bearing sands in
the Oligocene section were
conducted. The first zone tested
flowed gas and condensate at
rates of 9.7 million mmscfd and
870 bopd respectively through a
40/64 inch choke, and the second
zone tested flowed gas and
condensate at rates of 17 mmscfd
and 1,730 bopd respectively
through a 56/64 inch choke. The
well was sidetracked to further
evaluate the distribution of
hydrocarbons in the Miocene
sands.
Production
In 2014, production from Block
12W, which contains the Chim
Sáo and Dua fields, exceeded
expectations averaging 16.9
kboepd (13.7 kbopd of oil and
15.4 mmscfd of gas) net to
Premier, up 19.9 per cent on
2013.
The Premier-operated Chim Sáo
field out-performed expectations
i n 2 0 1 4 a s t h e c o m p a ny
continued to maximise production
delivery and to improve the
reliability of the facilities. The
subsea tie-back of the Dua field
was completed successfully in

Vietnam operations
In June 2015, Chevron closed the
sale of its stake in exploration
blocks and a pipeline project in
Vietnam to PetroVietnam, for an
undisclosed sum. The move
represents Chevron's exit from
Vietnam's upstream oil and gas
sector, as the oil major trims its
global portfolio.
Chevron said it has sold its stake
in two production sharing
contracts in Vietnam, which
includes a 42.4% interest in Blocks
B and 48/95, and a 43.4% interest
in Block 52/97. It has also sold
its 28.7% non-operated working
interest in a pipeline project to
supply natural gas to utilities in
southern Vietnam.
PetroVietnam had said in April it
would resume work at Block B in
June, after taking over from
Chevron. It said the block is
expected to produce 13.9 million
cubic meters of gas and between
6,000 and 7,000 barrels of
condensate a day. It expected
first gas output to be brought
onshore by 2019 or 2020.
Block 06.1
Rosneft Vietnam owns 35% in
the project, acting as the project
operator; the project is being
implemented based on the
(PSC). The PSC area comprises
two gas condensate fields – Lan
Tay and Lan Do. The fields are
located 370 km from the shore
in the Nam Con Son basin, the
sea depth at the fields reaches
190 m. The initial gas reserves
at the fields are about 68 billion
cubic meters. By June 2015,
accumulated production from
Block 06.1 reached 300 million
barrels of oil equivalent (or over
46 bcm of gas).
Block 05-3/11
Rosneft Vietnam owns 100% in
the project and is the project
operator. The licensed block is
located in the region with proven
hydrocarbon potential and welldeveloped infrastructure that also
borders with the already operated
fields of Block 06.1. The current
estimate of Block 05.3/11
reserves is 40 billion cubic meters
of gas and 9 million tons of gas
condensate. 3D-seismic survey
of 1,180 sq kms and subsequent
interpretation and studies have
been completed, structures for
exploration drilling activities in
2016 were defined.
Rosneft is also an investor with
32.67% equity in the Nam Con
Son Pipeline – transporting gas
and condensate from four
offshore blocks in the Nam Con
Son basin to power complex
onshore –which creates a
potential synergy in the event of
discovery of commercial reserves
in Block 05-3/11.
In September 2015, Rosneft
Vietnam and Japan Drilling Co
(JDC) represented by its
subsidiary Hakuryu 5, Inc. signed
an agreement on provision and
operation of the marine drilling
rig HAKURYU-5, for the purposes
of drilling exploration wells within
the framework of Rosneft’s
projects in Vietnam. It is planned
to drill two wells in Blocks 06.1
and 05-3/11 in the Nam Con Son
basin offshore Vietnam in 2016.

built on gas and oil discoveries
in the Cooper Basin,
predominantly spanning northeast South Australia and southwest Queensland. These gas
reserves are the main source of
natural gas to Australia's eastern
states. Santos is the primary
venture partner, and operator, of
natural gas processing facilities
at Moomba (in South Australia)
and Ballera (in Queensland), and
pipelines connecting those
facilities with Adelaide, Sydney,
Melbourne,
Brisbane,
Rockhampton, and Mount Isa.
The company also participates in
on and offshore oil and gas
ventures throughout Australia,
in the Timor Gap, Indonesia,
Papua New Guinea, India,
Bangladesh, Vietnam, and Kyrgyz
Republic.
Vietnam operations
Vietnam has been an important
part of Santos’ Asia strategy since
2006, when Santos entered the
Block 12W in the Nam Con Son
Basin off the country's south
coast.
Oil has been produced from the
Chim Sáo field in Block 12W since
October 2011, accounting for 6%
of Santos’ production in 2012.
Building on the success of Chim
Sao, the Dua oil project is being
developed as a tie-back to the
facilities at Chim Sáo, and is on
track for first oil in the first half

Te Giac Trang (“TGT”) Field
(30.5% interest; operated by
Hoang Long Joint Operating
Company (“HLJOC”))
SOCO announced that first oil
and gas from the H5 Wellhead
Platform ('H5-WHP') of the Te
Giac Trang ('TGT') field occurred
on 10 August 2015 following
perforation of the first of the H5
development wells. The start of
production was achieved more
one month ahead of schedule
and the H5 development project
has been completed with zero
lost time accidents.
The H5-WHP is located in the
south of the TGT field in Block
16-1 in the Cuu Long Basin, off
Soco International Vietnam
the southern coast of Vietnam,
approx. 100 kms from Vung Tau,
20 kms northwest of the Bach
Ho field and 35 kms west of the
Rang Dong field.
TGT was discovered in August
2005. The H5-WHP is TGT’s third
platform to be brought on
production. The first platform,
H1-WHP, came on stream in
August 2011, followed by the H4WHP in July 2012. Crude oil from
TGT is transported via subsea
pipeline to an FPSO where it is
processed, stored and exported
by tankers to regional oil
refineries. Gas produced from
the field is transported by pipeline
to the nearby Bach Ho facilities
for processing and onward
transportation to shore by
pipeline to supply the Vietnamese
domestic market.
TGT field production averaged
33.6 thousand barrels of oil
equivalent per day (“KBOEPD”)
for 1H 2015, 10.1 KBOEPD net
to SOCO. Production was slightly
below
the
Company’s
expectations due to drilling
delays.
Ca Ngu Vang Field (“CNV”)
(25% interest; operated by
Hoan Vu Joint Operating
Company (“HVJOC”))
CNV production for 1H 2015
averaged 1.8 KBOEPD net to the
Company’s working interest. The
HVJOC is reviewing means for
increasing production through
modifications to the process
facilities on the reception platform
at Bach Ho.
Significant discovery
In October 2013, SOCO
completed testing of the TGT10XST1 exploration well on the
H5 fault block of the Te Giac
Trang ("TGT") field. The well,
which exceeded all pre-test
expectations, flowed at
combined average maximum
production from the three zones
tested at over 27,600 barrels of
oil equivalent per day.
The final test, in the Lower
Miocene Intra Lower Bach Ho
5.2 Upper and Lower sequence,
over a perforated interval of
88.6 metres, flowed at an
average maximum rate of 5,156
barrels of oil per day (“BOPD”)
and 32.5 million standard cubic
feet of gas per day (“MMSCFD”).
Two other intervals were tested.
The first test, over a perforated
93 metres section in the
Oligocene “C”, produced at a
maximum average rate of 9,488
BOPD and 1.16 MMSCFD. The
second test, over the Miocene
Lower 5.2L sequence, tested a
47.3 metres perforated interval.
The maximum flow averaged
over this interval was 7,100
B O P D a n d 1 . 7 6 M M S C F D.
The well, located approximately
six kilometres south of the H4
Well Head Platform, in the
southern part of the TGT field
in Block 16-1 in the Cuu Long
Basin off the southern coast of
Vietnam,
encountered
approximately 250 metres of
gross pay section (approximately
119 metres of net pay) in the
Miocene and Oligocene reservoir
horizons. Approximately 100
metres of net pay were
evaluated by the three tests.

Talisman Energy Inc. is a global,
diversified, upstream oil and gas
company, headquartered in
Canada. Talisman's three main
operating areas are North
America, the North Sea and
Southeast Asia. The Company
also has a portfolio of
international exploration
opportunities.
In 2012, production was 426,000
boe/d. Liquids growth in
Southeast Asia, Colombia and
the Eagle Ford, and higher gas
volumes in North America, offset
North Sea declines. At the end
of 2012, Talisman's 2P reserves
totalled 1.7 billion boe, which
equates to a reserve life index of
11 years.
Vietnam operations
Talisman holds a 60% interest in
Block 15-2/01 as a partner in the
Thang Long Joint Operating
Company (‘‘JOC’’), which
operates the Block. Block 152/01 lies in the Cuu Long Basin,
the predominant oil producing
basin in Vietnam. The Company
holds a 49% operated interest in
Blocks 133 and 134, 40% in
Blocks 135 and 136, and 40% in
Block 05-2/10 in the Nam Con
Son Basin. In 2012, Talisman
acquired a 35% interest in Blocks
45 and 46/07 adjacent to PM-3
CAA in the Malay-Tho Chu Basin.
In July 2013, Talisman acquired
a 55% operated interest in Block
07/03, including the Red Emperor
discovery, adjacent to Blocks 135
and 136. Block 46/02 was
relinquished to PetroVietnam in
November 2013.
In 2013, the HST/HSD project,
situated in Block 15-2/01, was
completed under budget and
ahead of schedule, producing on
average 8.5 mbbls/d (net) of oil
for the year. Overall, Vietnam
production averaged 10 mboe/d
in 2013, accounting for
approximately 8% of Talisman’s
total Southeast Asia production.
In 2013, three exploration wells
were drilled, and subsequently
plugged and abandoned, in Blocks
45 and 46/07. The Company also
drilled the first appraisal well and
subsequent sidetrack following
the acquisition of Block 07/03 in
July 2013. The final exploration
commitment well for the block
commenced drilling in January
2014.
Two exploration wells and seismic
studies are planned for Blocks
135 and 136 in 2014,
complementing Red Emperor
appraisal activity in Block 07/03.

Rosneft and Japan
Drilling Co sign
agreement for
exploration campaign
September 2015
Rosneft Vietnam and Japan
Drilling Co (JDC) represented by
its subsidiary Hakuryu 5, Inc.
have signed an agreement on
provision and operation of the
marine drilling rig HAKURYU-5,
for the purposes of drilling
exploration wells within the
framework of Rosneft’s projects
in Vietnam. It is planned to drill
two wells in Blocks 06.1 and 053/11 in the Nam Con Son basin
offshore Vietnam in 2016.
Consistent implementation of
drilling works at both blocks will
ensure synergy between the two
projects and help reduce the
timelines for implementation of
the works, thus maximizing the
efficiency of exploration activities
at the Company’s Vietnamese
assets.
Background
Block 06.1: Rosneft Vietnam
owns 35% in the project, acting
as the project operator; the
project is being implemented
based on the Production Sharing
Contract (PSC). The PSC area
comprises two gas condensate
fields – Lan Tay and Lan Do. The
fields are located 370 km from
the shore in the Nam Con Son
basin, the sea depth at the fields
reaches 190 m. The initial gas
reserves at the fields are about
68 billion cubic meters. By June
2015, accumulated production
from Block 06.1 reached 300
million barrels of oil equivalent
(or over 46 bcm of gas).
Block 05-3/11: Rosneft Vietnam
owns 100% in the project and is
the project operator. The licensed
block is located in the region with
proven hydrocarbon potential and
well-developed infrastructure that
also borders with the already
operated fields of Block 06.1. The
current estimate of Block 05.3/11
reserves is 40 billion cubic meters
of gas and 9 million tons of gas
condensate. 3D-seismic survey
of 1,180 sq kms and subsequent
interpretation and studies have
been completed, structures for
exploration drilling activities in
2016 were defined.
Rosneft is also an investor with
32.67% equity in the Nam Con
Son Pipeline – transporting gas
and condensate from four
offshore blocks in the Nam Con
Son basin to power complex
onshore –which creates a
potential synergy in the event of
discovery of commercial reserves
in Block 05-3/11.

China oil rig to keep
drilling in waters
disputed with Vietnam
August 2015
A Chinese oil rig at the centre of
last year's standoff between
China and Vietnam will continue
drilling not far from Vietnam's
coast, China's maritime safety
authorities said on Tuesday.
The deployment of the $1 billion
deepwater rig last year about
120 nautical miles off Vietnam's
coast, in what Vietnam considers
its exclusive economic zone
(EEZ), led to the worst
breakdown in relations since a
brief border war in 1979. China
said at the time the rig was
operating completely within its
waters.
The rig, called the Haiyang Shiyou
981, was removed last July, but
returned to the area in June of
this year to explore for oil and
gas. A notice from China's
Maritime Safety Administration
said at the time that the rig would
carry out 'ocean drilling
operations' until August 20.
Vietnam's people remain
embittered over a perceived
history of Chinese bullying and
territorial claims in the South
China Sea. China has been
increasingly assertive in the South
China Sea, condemning an
arbitration case initiated by the
Philippines and reclaiming land
on islands and reefs under its
control. Last week a new U.S.
Pentagon report said China has
reclaimed more land in the
disputed Spratly Islands than
previously known.

SOCO announces
commencement of
production from the TGT
H5 platform offshore
Vietnam
August 2015
SOCO International has
announced that first oil and gas
from the H5 Wellhead Platform
('H5-WHP') of the Te Giac Trang
('TGT') field occurred on 10
August 2015 following perforation
of the first of the H5 development
wells. The start of production
has been achieved more one
month ahead of schedule and the
H5 development project has been
completed with zero lost time
accidents. The perforation
campaign will continue over the
next two weeks targeting the
optimal balance between
maximising new production from
the H5-WHP, natural production
decline rates and water-cut from
the existing wells with total liquids
handling capacity on the FPSO
currently available to the TGT
partners.
The H5-WHP is located in the
south of the TGT field in Block
16-1 in the Cuu Long Basin, off
the southern coast of Vietnam,
approx. 100 kms from Vung Tau,
20 kms northwest of the Bach
Ho field and 35 kms west of the
Rang Dong field.
TGT was discovered in August
2005. The H5-WHP is TGT’s third
platform to be brought on
production. The first platform,
H1-WHP, came on stream in
August 2011, followed by the H4WHP in July 2012. Crude oil from
TGT is transported via subsea
pipeline to an FPSO where it is
processed, stored and exported
by tankers to regional oil
refineries. Gas produced from
the field is transported by pipeline
to the nearby Bach Ho facilities
for processing and onward
transportation to shore by
pipeline to supply the Vietnamese
domestic market.

Petrovietnam boosts
cooperation with
Murphy Oil and
ExxonMobil
August 2015
The Viet Nam National Oil and
Gas Group (Petrovietnam) and
Murphy Oil Corp signed a
memorandum of understanding
(MoU) on July 8 to boost
cooperation in oil and gas
projects. The MoU was signed by
Petrovietnam Chairman Nguyen
Xuan Son and the President and
CEO of Murphy Oil Corp, Roger
W. Jenkins, in the presence of
General Secretary Nguyen Phu
Trong, who is on a visit to the
United States.
Murphy has financial potential,
expertise and the technology for
exploring, surveying and
exploiting oil and gas, especially
in new areas and on deep-sea
sites. The corporation sees the
Vietnamese market as an area
with long-term development
potential and values Petrovietnam
as a dynamic and effective
partner. It is especially interested
in participating in the
development of the Block B gas
project, the Malay-Tho Chu basin
in Viet Nam and a number of
blocks in Cuu Long basin.
The corporation has invited
Petrovietnam to take part in its
projects in Mexico Bay.
Son and his entourage also met
the Vice Chairman of ExxonMobil
for the Asia-Pacific region,
Raymond E. Jones, and other
senior officials at the Washington
Hilton on the same day. During
the meeting, Jones greatly
appreciated Petrovietnam’s
efforts, along with ExxonMobil,
to advance the Ca Voi Xanh (Blue
Whale) project, located off the
coast of Viet Nam. He spoke of
the project’s progress so far and
about preparations to draw up
plans for the gas field in future.
Son affirmed that a cooperation
agreement and contracts signed
with ExxonMobil would be
implemented with the aim of the
two companies sharing and
creating the most favourable
conditions to develop together.
He urged ExxonMobil to use
advanced technologies to exploit
the gas field in the most effective
way, minimising spending and
lowering costs. He said the two
sides should work together to
find answers to issues such as
gas consumption, the price of
gas and commercial conditions.
It is necessary to take the
initiative to find gas consumers
who can use the gas most
economically, he said.
Petrovietnam would ask the
Vietnamese Government to find
ways to build gas-fired power
plants in the central region, as
well as draw up policies to help
gas consumers develop their
operations in the region, he said.
It would also propose investment
incentives to develop the project,
he added.

PetroVietnam acquires
Chevron's Vietnam
upstream assets
June 2015
Chevron on Wednesday closed
the sale of its stake in exploration
blocks and a pipeline project in
Vietnam to state-run Vietnam Oil
& Gas Group, or PetroVietnam,
for an undisclosed amount of
money. The move represents
Chevron's exit from Vietnam's
upstream oil and gas sector, as
the oil major trims its global
portfolio.
Chevron said it has sold its stake
in two production sharing
contracts in Vietnam, which
includes a 42.4% interest in
Blocks B and 48/95, and a 43.4%
interest in Block 52/97. It has
also sold its 28.7% non-operated
working interest in a pipeline
project to supply natural gas to
utilities in southern Vietnam.
PetroVietnam had said in April it
would resume work at Block B in
June, after taking over from
Chevron. It said the block is
expected to produce 13.9 million
cubic meters of gas and between
6,000 and 7,000 barrels of
condensate a day. It expected
first gas output to be brought
onshore by 2019 or 2020.

SOCO announces
updated technical
review of Te Giac Trang
resources, offshore
Vietnam
December 2014
SOCO International has
announced that ERC Equipoise
('ERCE') has completed its
evaluation of the Block 16-1 Te
Giac Trang field ('TGT') offshore
Vietnam, which confirms the
Company's long standing view of
the size and production potential
of the TGT field.
Evaluation highlights:
• The updated TGT Stock Tank
Oil Initially In Place ("STOIIP")
demonstrates a most likely
volume of 818 million barrels
of oil ("MMBO") for the
currently drilled fault blocks.
Including the H5N and H5S
fault blocks, planned to be
drilled in Q1 2015, the most
likely STOIIP would be 949
MMBO.
• Potential oil recovery within
the expected licence period to
2030, based on the most likely
case Geological Model
(inclusive of H5N and H5S) and
under a variety of potential
development scenarios
evaluated to date, are
estimated at up to 319
MMBO. SOCO's TGT booked 2P
oil reserves as at 31 December
2013 correspond to an initial
gross field recoverable volume
of 298 MMBO.
• The ERCE reservoir modelling
demonstrates facilities
unconstrained field
performance potential in excess
of 100,000 bopd
• The reservoir modelling
provides a framework for
optimising development of the
TGT field beyond the currently
approved field development
plan; assuming no further
activity on the field beyond
2015 or changes to
infrastructure or FPSO capacity,
News Review Vietnam
the modelled estimated
recovery is 193 MMBO
(inclusive of H5N and H5S).
• In addition, ERCE identified
several small undrilled
closures during the field
remapping. These closures
together may contain an
estimated most likely STOIIP
of 17 MMBO.
In 2013, SOCO retained ERC
Equipoise to build a Dynamic
Simulation Model of the TGT field.
In 2014, this engagement was
expanded to include the
integration of a new Geological
Model. The Geological Model was
integrated into a revised Dynamic
Simulation Model for a technical
evaluation of the TGT resources.
Upon completion of the history
match and H5 area additions, the
simulation model was set up to
run a series of forecasts aimed
at evaluating the ultimate oil
volume recoverable given various
levels of development drilling and
pressure maintenance by water
injection under various FPSO and
alternative liquid handling
options.
At this time, the Hoang Long Joint
Operating Company ("HLJOC")
partners are evaluating the 2015
work programme and budget, as
well as preparing an update to
the TGT Field Development Plan
("FDP") for submission to the
relevant Vietnamese authorities.
The updated FDP will incorporate
the development plans for the
TGT field beyond 2015. The
conclusions of the ERCE work will
be shared with the HL JOC
partners as part of this process
as the work suggests a
substantial gain in oil recovery
can be achieved by way of
improvements to the TGT field
liquid handling capacity, infill
drilling and optimised pressure
support.

Eni signs two new PSC’s
for offshore exploration
in Vietnam
October 2014
Eni signed two Production Sharing
C o n t ra c t s ( P S C s ) f o r t h e
exploration of blocks 116 and
124, located off the coast of
Vietnam.
Block 116 covers an area of about
5,000 sqkm in the Song Hong
basin, in waters with a depth
ranging from 10 to 120 meters.
The PSC block, wholly owned by
Eni, provides for an exploration
3 phases.
Block 124 covers an area of 6,000
sqkm in the Phu Khanhbasin, in
waters that have a depth ranging
from 50 to 2,600 meters. The
PSC provides for an exploration
2 phases. This block is held by
Eni, which is the operator with a
60% stake, and by Santos
Vietnam with a 40% stake.
Claudio Descalzi also met Hoang
Trung Hai, Deputy Prime Minister
with responsibility for Trade,
Industry, Construction and
Transport, and provided him with
an update of the activities and
projects that the Company is
developing in the Country.
"The participation in these two
new high-potential blocks will
consolidate our presence in the
area and support our growth in
the Pacific basin. The proximity
of these blocks to those which
we already operate will enable
us to exploit at best the logistical
and operational synergies, with
considerable savings in terms of
time and costs" said Eni's CEO.
These new agreements confirm
Eni's interest to continue and
consolidate its presence in
Vietnam, where the company
returned in 2012 and already
operates four offshore exploration
blocks.

AziPac announces farmin agreement with
Mitra Energy for a 25%
interest in Block 127
PSC, offshore Vietnam
August 2014
AziPac, the Seacrest Capital
Group backed E&P company
focussed on offshore exploration
in the Asia Pacific and Bay of
Bengal regions, has announced
the acquisition of a 25% interest
in the Block 127 PSC, offshore
Vietnam.
AziPac, through its subsidiary
Azimuth Vietnam, has signed a
farm-in agreement with Mitra
Energy, the operator, for a 25%
participating interest in Block 127
PSC, offshore Vietnam. As part
of the deal, AziPac will pay a
working interest share of the
approved past costs and carry
part of Mitra's costs of acquisition
and processing of a 3D seismic
survey, scheduled to be acquired
in the second half of 2014.
Acquisition of the 3D survey will
complete the work programme
obligations for the current
Exploration Phase which expires
on 24 May, 2016.
Block 127 is located in the Phu
Khanh Basin, off the SE coast of
Vietnam. The basin remains
relatively underexplored and
recent 2D seismic confirms the
potential of the basin in terms of
prospectivity.
Frank Inouye, Managing Director
of AziPac, commented: ‘We are
very pleased to have acquired an
interest in this highly prospective
licence in one of the most exciting
hydrocarbon exploration
provinces in the world. Vietnam
has experienced a renaissance
in E&P activity recently and we
look forward to working with Mitra
Energy to fully evaluate this
block. Block 127 is the second
asset AziPac has acquired since
we created the company earlier
this year. Along with our interest
in the Bone PSC in Indonesia, we
have what we believe to be a
solid platform for future growth
in the region.'
