TIDMDPL RNS Number : 9218I Dominion Petroleum Limited 22 March 2010 22 MARCH 2010 Dominion Petroleum Limited ("Dominion" or the "Company") Operations Update · Rig secured for drilling Uganda, Block EA4B · Vessel secured for 3D seismic shoot on Block 7, offshore Tanzania · Drilling in Mandawa, onshore Tanzania expected in June 2010 Dominion is pleased to provide an update on its operations: Uganda Exploration Area 4B (Dominion Uganda Ltd 100%, Operator) Dominion Uganda has signed a letter of intent with Oil and Gas Exploration Cracow (OGEC), subject to government approval, for a rig to drill Ngaji-1 on Exploration Area Block 4B (EA4B), Dominion's first exploration well in Uganda. It is anticipated that the rig (which is owned by John Energy) will be mobilised in May, with drilling to commence in June on the Ngaji (Silverback Gorilla) prospect (unrisked recoverable reserves of over 100 million barrels (mmbo)). Ngaji is a tilted-fault block, structural closure, chosen as the best location to test the geology of the Ugandan side of the Lake Edward Basin. Site preparation will commence before the end of March. An Environmental and Social Impact Assessment for a contingent seismic programme has been initiated for any subsequent appraisal work on the acreage later in the year. The Ngaji-1 well is the first exploration well ever to be drilled in the Lake Edward basin of the Albertine Rift. It is located in an area comparable to that of the Buffalo-Giraffe discovery in Exploration Area 1, reported to contain around 400 mmbo of recoverable oil. The results of the well will not only assess the prospect, but primarily serve to evaluate the whole of the basin's hydrocarbon potential. Success will lead to a rapid expansion of exploration & appraisal activity in EA4B and potentially the neighbouring Block 5 in Democratic Republic of Congo (Dominion Congo sprl 46.75%). Tanzania Offshore Deep Water Block 7 (Dominion Tanzania Ltd 100%, Operator) The 3D seismic programme of approximately 1,000 square kilometres is anticipated to commence in June. Fugro-Geoteam AS are being awarded the contract, subject to government approval, to conduct the seismic acquisition. The vessel is currently operating in neighbouring blocks to the south of Dominion's acreage. The Block 7 3D survey will focus on Pre-Tertiary structural and stratigraphic prospects already identified from the existing 2D seismic. The survey has been specifically designed to support further Amplitude Variations with Offset ("AVO") studies for Direct Hydrocarbon Indicator ("DHI") analyses; positive AVO responses on the 2D data having been used to identify the prospects thus far. The Anadarko Windjammer gas discovery, offshore deepwater northern Mozambique, has been encouraging in that it demonstrates the presence of source rock capable of generating significant volumes of hydrocarbons in this region, which was the predominant risk associated with the offshore East African Margin prior to the discovery. Tanzania Onshore Mandawa PSA Kianika-1 well. (Dominion Oil and Gas Ltd., 10%) In Mandawa, Dominion and its partner, Maurel & Prom, are progressing operations for the upcoming Kianika-1 well. Well site and road construction have already begun in anticipation of the commencement of drilling in June. Kianika-1 is targeting recoverable resources of 77mmboe in a structural closure. The well is onshore and 200 km south of the country's capital Dar Es Salaam. On 15 February 2010, Dominion announced that it would reduce its interests to 10% in the Mandawa and Kisangire PSAs, through a farm-out agreement with Maurel & Prom. This agreement remains subject to government approvals which are anticipated soon. Andrew Cochran, Chief Executive of Dominion Petroleum, commented: "With the funds from our placing, all necessary services and equipment having been identified and now secured, we are kicking off our 2010 exploration programme. This includes the first ever well in the Lake Edward Basin of Uganda, as well as a large scale 3D seismic shoot in the emerging East Africa deepwater play of Tanzania. "We have spent much time and effort getting all in place and are now ready to get to work on the ground. The next few months will therefore be the most active period experienced by Dominion so far in its corporate history." RECENT MEDIA COVERAGE OF THE REGION East Africa has become a promising new frontier for oil exploration and major multinationals are jostling for the rights to search for black gold, industry experts said Tuesday. While the Atlantic coast of Africa -- most notably Nigeria and Angola -- has long been exploited by western oil companies, it took decades for the industry to turn its sights to the east. Things changed in 2006 with the first significant discovery in Uganda, in the Lake Albert basin. Since then another 15 sites have been confirmed. Significant natural gas reserves have also been discovered in Tanzania and Mozambique. Ethiopia and Somalia are also sites of intense exploration. Source: Energy-pedia news Seismic tests over the past 50 years have shown countries up the coast of East Africa have natural gas in abundance. Early data compiled by industry consultants also suggest the presence of massive offshore oil deposits. However, East Africa still remains relatively unexplored. North Africa has seen 20,000 wells sunk over the past few decades, while drillers have sunk 14,000 wells in and off West Africa. In East Africa the total is about 500 wells. That is now changing. Kenya issued six exploration licenses between 2000 and 2002 and two more to CNOOC in the succeeding four years. In 2008 and 2009, it issued 18 new licenses. Many more licenses have been awarded by the Governments of Tanzania and Uganda. Source: Time Magazine It has recently been reported that Exxon Mobil Corp. is in advanced talks to buy into Statoil ASA's offshore block in Tanzania, a move that would mark the first entry of an oil major oil company into the East African nation.
