its joint venture partners: Maersk Oil, Premier Oil UK Limited ("Premier"),
EnCounter Oil Ltd. ("EnCounter") and Groliffe Ltd. ("Groliffe") on UK Petroleum
Production Licence P1943 Blocks 13/24c and 13/25 ("Licence"), including the

About the Bagpuss and Blofeld Prospects

The Bagpuss and Blofeld Prospects are located on the Halibut Horst, which is a
well-defined basement high within the Moray Firth in the North Sea, United
Kingdom. The Company completed a competent persons report (CPR) on the Prospects
in June 2013, confirming 3.6 billion barrel oil in place potential STOIIP (P10)
(see Company's press release dated June 27, 2013 for further details). The
Company considers the Prospects to be a high impact target and the first well is
planned to be drilled in 2014 or 2015; subject to rig availability. A well on
the Bagpuss Prospect was drilled by Amoco in 1981 and encountered hydrocarbons,
but it was not tested.


Under the farm-in agreement, Maersk Oil is to carry 100% of NSE's costs, subject
to a cap, to drill the initial Bagpuss Prospect exploration well including a
site survey and agreed past costs. In addition, Maersk Oil is to carry 50% of
NSE's costs, subject to a cap, on a Bagpuss appraisal well should one be
drilled. In return, Maersk Oil will acquire a 25% working interest in the
Licence from NSE, which will retain a 15% working interest. Premier has acquired
a 37.5% working interest in the Licence from Groliffe and EnCounter, which have
retained a 7.5% working interest and a 15% working interest respectively.
