Dear Gentlemen,

THIRD PARTY REPORT

RESERVES ESTIMATION AND VALUATION OF

CHAD AND ALGERIA ASSETS

AS OF 31st DECEMBER, 2013

INTRODUCTION

Gaffney, Cline & Associates (GCA) was requested by China National Oil and Gas
Exploration and Development Corporation International Holding Ltd. (CNODCI), to conduct reserves estimation and evaluation (as of 31stDecember, 2013) of selected petroleum assets in Algeria, Chad, and Venezuela, in which CNODCI has current
interests.

The SEC Executive and SEC Technical Reports documenting this work were submitted to CNODCI in
January and February, 2014, respectively. These reports are required for CNODCI internal management reporting purposes and are limited to Proved Reserves only. The report references are as follows:

METHODOLOGY

In carrying out the review, GCA relied upon information and data provided by CNODCI, which comprised: basic engineering
data; geoscience information and engineering interpretations associated with such data; other technical reports; costs and commercial data; and development plans. The available data and interpretations were reviewed for reasonableness and the latter
adjusted where appropriate.

The results presented in this report are based upon
information and data made available to GCA on or before
19thDecember, 2013. The Reserve Estimates, forward
production estimates and Net Present Value (NPV) computations as presented herein are based upon these data and represent GCAs opinion as of 31stDecember, 2013.

Economic models were constructed based on terms of the applicable petroleum contracts as provided by
CNODCI, in order to calculate CNODCIs net revenue interest Proved reserves. As of 31stDecember, 2013, all Proved SEC1reserves were allocated up to the end of the license contract period only.

As per SEC guidelines (Appendix I), the oil prices which were used in the evaluation are the un-weighted 12-month arithmetic averages of the first-day-of-the month price for each month within the
12-month period (January to December, 2013) prior to the end of reporting period, unless prescribed by contract. Those prices were held constant throughout the evaluation period except where alternate prices are prescribed by contract. The report
also summarises the sensitivity results in which oil prices were escalated throughout the evaluation period except as prescribed by contract. The historical 12-month oil prices were supplied by CNODCI.

Future capital costs were derived from development program forecasts prepared by CNODCI for each production unit and
corresponding recent historical unit cost data. The recent historical cost data for each relevant production unit were utilised to determine current operating cost conditions. These costs were not escalated throughout the evaluation period in the
Base Case; however the future capital and operating costs were escalated in the sensitivity analysis.

CNODCIs net reserve volumes are derived by converting calculated net revenues accruing to CNODCI under the terms of
the relevant petroleum contract into equivalent barrels of oil utilising the average 2013 oil pricing explained above. The CNODCI net revenue interest volumes reported in this document represent those amounts that are determined to be attributable
to CNODCIs net economic interest after the deduction of amounts attributable to third parties (government and other working interest partners).

Net Present Value (NPV) computations were also undertaken and derived using cost and production
profiles input to the various economic models established for the selected assets in Algeria and Venezuela. These NPVs represent future net revenue, after taxes, attributable to the interests of CNODCI, discounted over the economic life of the
project at a specified discount rate to a present value as of 31stDecember, 2013. NPV results are also presented for the sensitivity analysis using the escalated oil prices and capital and operating costs. Unless otherwise stated, no opening tax positions were
considered.

A glossary of abbreviations and key industry standard terms, some but not all of which have been
used in this report, is attached as Appendix II.

|1. | RESULTS SUMMARY
|-- | ---------------



|1.1 | Net Reserves
|--- | ------------

The following tables present the net entitlement Proved Developed, Proved Undeveloped and Total Proved oil reserves attributable to CNODCIs working interests (WI) estimated in accordance with SEC
guidelines.

As required under SEC guidelines, these estimates were prepared under the prevailing fiscal terms
and exclude any government share. The economic cut offs were applied using costs which are unescalated throughout the period of calculation and constant prices, except where alternate prices are prescribed by contract. The oil prices used for these
computations were the un-weighted 12-month arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the month price for each month within the 12-month period (January to December, 2013).

The NPVs were calculated on the basis of SEC guidelines under which the economic cut-offs were applied using unescalated costs and constant prices. The crude oil prices used for these computations were
the un-weighted 12-month arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the month price for each month within the 12-month period (January to December, 2013) except in instances where alternate prices are prescribed by contract.



|1.4 | Sensitivity Analysis
|--- | --------------------

Sensitivity analysis has been carried out on the oil prices. In the sensitivity analysis, a future crude oil price scenario was adopted and oil prices were also escalated throughout the evaluation period,
except where prescribed by contract. In addition to the escalated oil prices, CAPEX and OPEX were also escalated. The sensitivity results are summarised in the following table.

attest to property title or rights, conditions of these rights including environmental and abandonment obligations, and any necessary licenses and consents including planning permission,
financial interest relationships or encumbrances thereon for any part of the appraised properties.

In
carrying out this study, GCA is not aware that any conflict of interest has existed. As an independent consultancy, GCA is providing impartial technical, commercial and strategic advice within the energy sector. GCAs remuneration was not in
any way contingent on the contents of this report. In the preparation of this document, GCA has maintained, and continues to maintain, a strict independent consultant-client relationship with CNODCI. Furthermore, the management and employees of GCA
have no interest in any of the assets evaluated or related with the analysis carried out as part of this report.

Staff members who prepared this report are professionally-qualified with appropriate educational qualifications and levels of experience and expertise to perform the scope of work set out in the Proposal
for Services.

GCA has not undertaken a site visit and inspection because it is not included in the scope of
work and its related budget. As such, GCA is not in a position to comment on the operations or facilities in place, their appropriateness and condition and whether they are in compliance with the regulations pertaining to such operations. Further,
GCA is not in a position to comment on any aspect of health, safety or environment of such operation.

It
should be clearly noted that the Net Present Values (NPVs) contained herein do not represent a GCA opinion as to the market value of the subject property, nor any interest in it.

In assessing a likely market value, it would be necessary to take into account a number of additional factors including:
reserves risk (i.e. that Proved and/or Probable and/or Possible Reserves may not be realized within the anticipated timeframe for their exploitation); perceptions of economic and sovereign risk; potential upside, such as in this case exploitation of
reserves beyond the Proved and the Probable level; other benefits, encumbrances or charges that may pertain to a particular interest; and the competitive state of the market at the time. GCA has explicitly not taken such factors into account in
deriving the reference NPVs presented herein.

In the preparation of this report GCA has used Part 210 Rule
4-10(a) of Regulation S-X of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (Appendix I).

There
are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating reserves and resources, and in projecting future production, development expenditures, operating expenses and cash flows. Oil and gas reserve engineering and resource assessment must be recognized as
a subjective process of estimating subsurface accumulations of oil and gas that cannot be measured in an exact way. Estimates of oil and gas reserves or resources prepared by other parties may differ, perhaps materially, from those contained within
this report. The accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of the available data and of engineering and geological interpretation. Results of drilling, testing and production that post-date the preparation of the estimates may
justify revisions, some or all of which may be material. Accordingly, reserve estimates are often different from the quantities of oil and gas that are ultimately recovered, and the timing and cost of those volumes that are recovered may vary from
that assumed.

Oil and condensate volumes appearing in this report have been quoted at stock tank conditions.
Typically these volumes have been referred to in million barrel increments (MMstb). Natural gas volumes have been quoted in billions of standard cubic feet (Bscf) and are volumes of sales gas, after an allocation has been made for fuel and process
shrinkage losses. Standard conditions are defined as 14.696 psia and 60° Fahrenheit.

GCA prepared an independent assessment of the
reserves based on data and interpretations provided by CNODCI.

It is GCAs opinion
that the estimates of Proved Developed and Total Proved of oil and gas volumes at 31stDecember, 2013, are, in the aggregate, reasonable and the reserves classification and categorization is appropriate and consistent with the definitions and guidelines for reserves.

Reserves are those quantities of petroleum that are anticipated to be commercially recoverable by application of
development projects to known accumulations from a given date forward under defined conditions. Reserves must further satisfy four criteria: they must be discovered, recoverable, commercial and remaining (as of the evaluation date) based on the
development project(s) applied. Reserves are further categorized in accordance with the level of certainty associated with the estimates and may be sub-classified based on project maturity and/or characterized by development and production status.
All categories of Reserve volumes quoted herein have been determined within the context of an economic limit test (pre-tax and exclusive of accumulated depreciation amounts) assessment prior to any NPV analysis.

MODERNIZATION OF OIL AND GAS REPORTING2

Oil and Gas Reserves Definitions and
Reporting



|(a) | Definitions
|--- | -----------

(1) Acquisition of properties. Costs incurred to purchase, lease or otherwise acquire a property, including costs of lease bonuses and options to purchase or lease properties, the portion of costs
applicable to minerals when land including mineral rights is purchased in fee, brokers fees, recording fees, legal costs, and other costs incurred in acquiring properties.

(2) Analogous reservoir. Analogous reservoirs, as used in resources assessments, have similar rock and fluid properties, reservoir
conditions (depth, temperature, and pressure) and drive mechanisms, but are typically at a more advanced stage of development than the reservoir of interest and thus may provide concepts to assist in the interpretation of more limited data and
estimation of recovery. When used to support proved reserves, an analogous reservoir refers to a reservoir that shares the following characteristics with the reservoir of interest:



| | (i) | Same geological formation (but not necessarily in pressure communication with the reservoir of interest);
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (ii) | Same environment of deposition;
| | ---- | -------------------------------



| | (iii) | Similar geological structure; and
| | ----- | ---------------------------------



| | (iv) | Same drive mechanism.
| | ---- | ---------------------

Instruction to paragraph (a)(2): Reservoir properties must, in the aggregate, be no more favorable in the analog than in the reservoir of interest.

(3) Bitumen. Bitumen, sometimes referred to as natural bitumen, is petroleum in a solid or semi-solid state in natural deposits
with a viscosity greater than 10,000 centipoise measured at original temperature in the deposit and atmospheric pressure, on a gas free basis. In its natural state it usually contains sulfur, metals, and other non-hydrocarbons.

(4) Condensate. Condensate is a mixture of hydrocarbons that exists in the gaseous phase at original reservoir temperature and
pressure, but that, when produced, is in the liquid phase at surface pressure and temperature.

(5) Deterministic
estimate. The method of estimating reserves or resources is called deterministic when a single value for each parameter (from the geoscience, engineering, or economic data) in the reserves calculation is used in the reserves estimation
procedure.

(6) Developed oil and gas reserves. Developed oil and gas reserves are reserves of any category that can be
expected to be recovered:



| | (i) | Through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods or in which the cost of the required equipment is relatively minor compared to
the cost of a new well; and
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (ii) | Through installed extraction equipment and infrastructure operational at the time of the reserves estimate if the extraction is by means not
involving a well.

(7) Development costs. Costs incurred to obtain access
to proved reserves and to provide facilities for extracting, treating, gathering and storing the oil and gas. More specifically, development costs, including depreciation and applicable operating costs of support equipment and facilities and other
costs of development activities, are costs incurred to:



| | (i) | Gain access to and prepare well locations for drilling, including surveying well locations for the purpose of determining specific development
drilling sites, clearing ground, draining, road building, and relocating public roads, gas lines, and power lines, to the extent necessary in developing the proved reserves.
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (ii) | Drill and equip development wells, development-type stratigraphic test wells, and service wells, including the costs of platforms and of well
equipment such as casing, tubing, pumping equipment, and the wellhead assembly.
| | ---- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (iii) | Acquire, construct, and install production facilities such as lease flow lines, separators, treaters, heaters, manifolds, measuring devices, and
production storage tanks, natural gas cycling and processing plants, and central utility and waste disposal systems.
| | ----- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (iv) | Provide improved recovery systems.
| | ---- | ----------------------------------

(8) Development project. A development project is the means by which petroleum resources are brought to the status of economically producible. As examples, the development of a single reservoir or
field, an incremental development in a producing field, or the integrated development of a group of several fields and associated facilities with a common ownership may constitute a development project.

(9) Development well. A well drilled within the proved area of an oil or gas reservoir to the depth of a stratigraphic horizon
known to be productive.

(10) Economically producible. The term economically producible, as it relates to a resource,
means a resource which generates revenue that exceeds, or is reasonably expected to exceed, the costs of the operation. The value of the products that generate revenue shall be determined at the terminal point of oil and gas producing activities as
defined in paragraph (a)(16) of this section.

(11) Estimated ultimate recovery (EUR). Estimated ultimate recovery is
the sum of reserves remaining as of a given date and cumulative production as of that date.

(12) Exploration costs.
Costs incurred in identifying areas that may warrant examination and in examining specific areas that are considered to have prospects of containing oil and gas reserves, including costs of drilling exploratory wells and exploratory-type
stratigraphic test wells. Exploration costs may be incurred both before acquiring the related property (sometimes referred to in pail as prospecting costs) and after acquiring the property. Principal types of exploration costs, which include
depreciation and applicable operating costs of support equipment and facilities and other costs of exploration activities, are:



| | (i) | Costs of topographical, geographical and geophysical studies, rights of access to properties to conduct those studies, and salaries and other
expenses of geologists, geophysical crews, and others conducting those studies. Collectively, these are sometimes referred to as geological and geophysical or G&G costs.
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (ii) | Costs of carrying and retaining undeveloped properties, such as delay rentals, ad valorem taxes on properties, legal costs for title defense, and
the maintenance of land and lease records.
| | ---- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (iii) | Dry hole contributions and bottom hole contributions.

| | ---- | --------------------------------------------------



| | (v) | Costs of drilling exploratory-type stratigraphic test wells.
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------

(13) Exploratory well. An exploratory well is a well drilled to find a new field or to find a new reservoir in a field previously
found to be productive of oil or gas in another reservoir. Generally, an exploratory well is any well that is not a development well, an extension well, a service well, or a stratigraphic test well as those items are defined in this section.

(14) Extension well. An extension well is a well drilled to extend the limits of a known reservoir.

(15) Field. An area consisting of a single reservoir or multiple reservoirs all grouped on or related to the same individual
geological structural feature and/or stratigraphic condition. There may be two or more reservoirs in a field which are separated vertically by intervening impervious strata, or laterally by local geologic barriers, or by both. Reservoirs that are
associated by being in overlapping or adjacent fields may be treated as a single or common operational field. The geological terms structural feature and stratigraphic condition are intended to identify localized geological
features as opposed to the broader terms of basins, trends, provinces, plays, areas- of-interest, etc.

(16) Oil and gas
producing activities.



| | (i) | Oil and gas producing activities include:
| | --- | -----------------------------------------



| | (A) | The search for crude oil, including condensate and natural gas liquids, or natural gas (oil and gas) in their natural states and
original locations;
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (B) | The acquisition of property rights or properties for the purpose of further exploration or for the purpose of removing the oil or gas from such
properties;
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (C) | The construction, drilling, and production activities necessary to retrieve oil and gas from their natural reservoirs, including the acquisition,
construction, installation, and maintenance of field gathering and storage systems, such as:
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (1) | Lifting the oil and gas to the surface; and
| | --- | -------------------------------------------



| | (2) | Gathering, treating, and field processing (as in the case of processing gas to extract liquid hydrocarbons); and
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (D) | Extraction of saleable hydrocarbons, in the solid, liquid, or gaseous state, from oil sands, shale, coalbeds, or other nonrenewable natural
resources which are intended to be upgraded into synthetic oil or gas, and activities undertaken with a view to such extraction.
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Instruction 1 to paragraph (a)(16)(i): The oil and gas production function shall be regarded as ending at a terminal point, which is the outlet valve on the lease or field storage tank.
If unusual physical or operational circumstances exist, it may be appropriate to regard the terminal point for the production function as:



| | a. | The first point at which oil, gas, or gas liquids, natural or synthetic, are delivered to a main pipeline, a common carrier, a refinery, or a marine
terminal; and
| | -- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | b. | In the case of natural resources that are intended to be upgraded into synthetic oil or gas, if those natural resources are delivered to a purchaser
prior to upgrading, the first point at which the natural resources are delivered to a main pipeline, a common carrier, a refinery, a marine terminal, or a facility which upgrades such natural resources into synthetic oil or gas.

|DSR/jbi/L0062/2014/PS-13-2115 & PS-13-2116 PetroChina (Third Party Report) |  | Gaffney, Cline & Associates



Instruction 2 to paragraph (a)(16)(i):
For purposes of this paragraph (a)(16), the term saleable hydrocarbons means hydrocarbons that are saleable in the state in which the hydrocarbons are delivered.



| | (ii) | Oil and gas producing activities do not include:
| | ---- | ------------------------------------------------



| | (A) | Transporting, refining, or marketing oil and gas;
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------



| | (B) | Processing of produced oil, gas or natural resources that can be upgraded into synthetic oil or gas by a registrant that does not have the legal
right to produce or a revenue interest in such production;
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (C) | Activities relating to the production of natural resources other than oil, gas, or natural resources from which synthetic oil and gas can be
extracted; or
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (D) | Production of geothermal steam.
| | --- | -------------------------------

(17) Possible reserves. Possible reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves.



| | (i) | When deterministic methods are used, the total quantities ultimately recovered from a project have a low probability of exceeding proved plus
probable plus possible reserves. When probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 10% probability that the total quantities ultimately recovered will equal or exceed the proved plus probable plus possible reserves estimates.
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (ii) | Possible reserves may be assigned to areas of a reservoir adjacent to probable reserves where data control and interpretations of available data are
progressively less certain. Frequently, this will be in areas where geoscience and engineering data are unable to define clearly the area and vertical limits of commercial production from the reservoir by a defined project.
| | ---- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (iii) | Possible reserves also include incremental quantities associated with a greater percentage recovery of the hydrocarbons in place than the recovery
quantities assumed for probable reserves.
| | ----- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (iv) | The proved plus probable and proved plus probable plus possible reserves estimates must be based on reasonable alternative technical and commercial
interpretations within the reservoir or subject project that are clearly documented, including comparisons to results in successful similar projects.
| | ---- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (v) | Possible reserves may be assigned where geoscience and engineering data identify directly adjacent portions of a reservoir within the same
accumulation that may be separated from proved areas by faults with displacement less than formation thickness or other geological discontinuities and that have not been penetrated by a wellbore, and the registrant believes that such adjacent
portions are in communication with the known (proved) reservoir. Possible reserves may be assigned to areas that are structurally higher or lower than the proved area if these areas are in communication with the proved reservoir.
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (vi) | Pursuant to paragraph (a)(22)(iii) of this section, where direct observation has defined a highest known oil (HKO) elevation and the potential
exists for an associated gas cap, proved oil reserves should be assigned in the structurally higher portions of the reservoir above the HKO only if the higher contact can be established with reasonable certainty through reliable technology. Portions
of the reservoir that do not meet this reasonable certainty criterion may be assigned as probable and possible oil or gas based on reservoir fluid properties and pressure gradient interpretations.
| | ---- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(18) Probable reserves. Probable reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves
but which, together with proved reserves, are as likely as not to be recovered.



| | (i) | When deterministic methods are used, it is as likely as not that actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the sum of estimated proved plus
probable reserves. When probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 50% probability that the actual quantities recovered will equal or exceed the proved plus probable reserves estimates.

| | (ii) | Probable reserves may be assigned to areas of a reservoir adjacent to proved reserves where data control or interpretations of available data are
less certain, even if the interpreted reservoir continuity of structure or productivity does not meet the reasonable certainty criterion. Probable reserves may be assigned to areas that are structurally higher than the proved area if these areas are
in communication with the proved reservoir.
| | ---- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (iii) | Probable reserves estimates also include potential incremental quantities associated with a greater percentage recovery of the hydrocarbons in place
than assumed for proved reserves.
| | ----- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (iv) | See also guidelines in paragraphs (a)(17)(iv) and (a)(17)(vi) of this section.
| | ---- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(19) Probabilistic estimate. The method of estimation of reserves or resources is called probabilistic when the full range of
values that could reasonably occur for each unknown parameter (from the geoscience and engineering data) is used to generate a full range of possible outcomes and their associated probabilities of occurrence.

(20) Production costs.



| | (i) | Costs incurred to operate and maintain wells and related equipment and facilities, including depreciation and applicable operating costs of support
equipment and facilities and other costs of operating and maintaining those wells and related equipment and facilities, they become part of the cost of oil and gas produced. Examples of production costs (sometimes called lifting costs) are:
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (A) | Costs of labor to operate the wells and related equipment and facilities.
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (B) | Repairs and maintenance.
| | --- | ------------------------



| | (C) | Materials, supplies, arid fuel consumed and supplies utilized in operating the wells and related equipment and facilities.
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (D) | Property taxes and insurance applicable to proved properties and wells and related equipment and facilities.
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (E) | Severance taxes.
| | --- | ----------------



| | (ii) | Some support equipment or facilities may serve two or more oil and gas producing activities and may also serve transportation, refining, and
marketing activities. To the extent that the support equipment and facilities are used in oil and gas producing activities, their depreciation and applicable operating costs become exploration, development or production costs, as appropriate.
Depreciation, depletion, and amortization of capitalized acquisition, exploration, and development costs are not production costs but also become part of the cost of oil and gas produced along with production (lifting) costs identified above.
| | ---- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(21) Proved area. The part of a property to which proved reserves have been specifically attributed.

(22) Proved oil and gas reserves. Proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of oil and gas, which, by analysis
of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible  from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government
regulations  prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation.
The project to extract the hydrocarbons must have commenced or the operator must be reasonably certain that it will commence the project within a reasonable time.



| | (i) | The area of the reservoir considered as proved includes:
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------



| | (A) | The area identified by drilling and limited by fluid contacts, if any, and

| | (iii) | Where direct observation from well penetrations has defined a highest known oil (HKO) elevation and the potential exists for an associated gas cap,
proved oil reserves may be assigned in the structurally higher portions of the reservoir only if geoscience, engineering, or performance data and reliable technology establish the higher contact with reasonable certainty.
| | ----- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (iv) | Reserves which can be produced economically through application of improved recovery techniques (including, but not limited to, fluid injection) are
included in the proved classification when:
| | ---- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (A) | Successful testing by a pilot project in an area of the reservoir with properties no more favorable than in the reservoir as a whole, the operation
of an installed program in the reservoir or an analogous reservoir, or other evidence using reliable technology establishes the reasonable certainty of the engineering analysis on which the project or program was based; and
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (B) | The project has been approved for development by all necessary parties and entities, including governmental entities.
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (v) | Existing economic conditions include prices and costs at which economic producibility from a reservoir is to be determined. The price shall be the
average price during the 12-month period prior to the ending date of the period covered by the report, determined as an unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within such period, unless prices are defined by
contractual arrangements, excluding escalations based upon future conditions.
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(23) Proved
properties. Properties with proved reserves.

(24) Reasonable certainty. If deterministic methods are used,
reasonable certainty means a high degree of confidence that the quantities will be recovered. If probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 90% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the estimate. A
high degree of confidence exists if the quantity is much more likely to be achieved than not, and, as changes due to increased availability of geoscience (geological, geophysical, and geochemical), engineering, and economic data are made to
estimated ultimate recovery (EUR) with time, reasonably certain EUR is much more likely to increase or remain constant than to decrease.

(25) Reliable technology. Reliable technology is a grouping of one or more technologies (including computational methods) that has been field tested and has been demonstrated to provide reasonably
certain results with consistency and repeatability in the formation being evaluated or in an analogous formation.

(26)
Reserves. Reserves are estimated remaining quantities of oil and gas and related substances anticipated to be economically producible, as of a given date, by application of development projects to known accumulations. In addition, there must
exist, or there must be a reasonable expectation that there will exist, the legal right to produce or a revenue interest in the production, installed means of delivering oil and gas or related substances to market, and all permits and financing
required to implement the project.

Note to paragraph (a)(26): Reserves should not be assigned to
adjacent reservoirs isolated by major, potentially sealing, faults until those reservoirs are penetrated and evaluated as economically producible.

Reserves should not be assigned to areas that are clearly separated from a known accumulation by a non-productive reservoir (i.e., absence of reservoir, structurally low reservoir, or
negative test results). Such areas may contain prospective resources (i.e., potentially recoverable resources from undiscovered accumulations).

(27) Reservoir. A porous and permeable underground formation containing a natural accumulation of producible oil and/or gas that is confined by impermeable rock or water barriers and is individual
and separate from other reservoirs.

(28) Resources. Resources are quantities of oil and gas estimated to exist in
naturally occurring accumulations. A portion of the resources may be estimated to be recoverable, and another portion may be considered to be unrecoverable. Resources include both discovered and undiscovered accumulations.

(29) Service well. A well drilled or completed for the purpose of supporting production in an existing field. Specific purposes of
service wells include gas injection, water injection, steam injection, air injection, salt-water disposal, water supply for injection, observation, or injection for in-situ combustion.

(30) Stratigraphic test well. A stratigraphic test well is a drilling effort, geologically directed, to obtain information
pertaining to a specific geologic condition. Such wells customarily are drilled without the intent of being completed for hydrocarbon production. The classification also includes tests identified as core tests and all types of expendable holes
related to hydrocarbon exploration. Stratigraphic tests are classified as exploratory type if not drilled in a known area or development type if drilled in a known area.

(31) Undeveloped oil and gas reserves. Undeveloped oil and gas reserves are reserves of any category that are expected to be
recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion.



| | (i) | Reserves on undrilled acreage shall be limited to those directly offsetting development spacing areas that are reasonably certain of production when
drilled, unless evidence using reliable technology exists that establishes reasonable certainty of economic producibility at greater distances.
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (ii) | Undrilled locations can be classified as having undeveloped reserves only if a development plan has been adopted indicating that they are scheduled
to be drilled within five years, unless the specific circumstances, justify a longer time.
| | ---- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (iii) | Under no circumstances shall estimates for undeveloped reserves be attributable to any acreage for which an application of fluid injection or other
improved recovery technique is contemplated, unless such techniques have been proved effective by actual projects in the same reservoir or an analogous reservoir, as defined in paragraph (a)(2) of this section, or by other evidence using reliable
technology establishing reasonable certainty.
| | ----- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(32) Unproved properties. Properties with no proved
reserves.
