  5. MENA with 73% of world onshore oil reserves- But only 10% of land rig fleet Current land rig supply by region Conventional oil resources (2005) Source: ExxonMobil Source: Baker Hughes • The Middle East continues to be the world’s largest expected source of oil • But only accounts for about 10% of the worldwide land rig fleet

  6. Global trend #1- Increasing need for drilling in order to meet production targets Rig intensity USA Rig intensity Middle East Source: Baker Hughes, EIA Source: Baker Hughes, EIA • # of US oil rigs doubled last 8 years. Oil production has declined • # of Middle East oil rigs increased ~45% last 8 years. Oil production flat • Drilling operations more “rig intensive”

  7. Global trend #2- Increasing need for new drilling technology The oil field pyramid Growth in complex drilling1) Source: Simmons & Co 1) Graph showing development of drilling types in the US Source: Baker Hughes • From giants to marginal fields • From vertical to directional and horizontal drilling • Most of the current land rig fleet not suitable for modern requirements • Underbalanced drilling - critical for improving declining production • Enabling improved production from; • Existing fields with depleting reservoir pressure • Complex reservoirs

  8. Marketing strategy & status • Strategy • Local influential partners & network in MENA • Targeting long-term drilling contracts • Status • LOI for 3 rigs * 5 years with growth potential • 3 outstanding tenders for drilling rigs and work-over rigs • Direct negotiations for 2 rigs

  9. Table of contents • Investment summary • Market overview & status • Organisation • Rig description • Financials

  12. The new generation of land rigs • Enhanced drilling capabilities • “Push & Pull” technology • Underbalanced drilling • Horizontal/directional drilling • Faster drilling operations • Dual operations incl. remote pipe handling • Implemented North Sea drilling practice • Online monitoring of rig and reservoir • Faster mob./demob. • Specialized design • Competitive opex and improved HSE • Fully automated drilling operations • Operating crew of 13 people vs. 36 for “best” traditional land rigs • Incentive program to secure the best human resources

  13. Faster drilling operations • Field proven at offshore north sea rigs • Safer and easier to operate. • Two complete working stations in drillers cabin, perfect for crew training and maintenance.

  14. Technical specifications- Drilling rigs Note: Subject to change

  15. Technical specifications- Work-over rigs Note: Subject to change

  16. Earnings objectives • Ability Drilling targeting USD 36 - 40,000 day rate • Reflecting enhanced drilling capabilities • Automated pipe handling equipment • Dual operations • Integrated top drive • Snubbing and well intervention capabilities • Including extra equipment • Drill pipes • Blow out preventor (BOP) • Comparable with USD 26 - 30,000 for standard unit Dayrate breakdown

  17. Increased value creation for oil companies Client focus has changed from cheap rigs & labor to how fast can wells be delivereddue to lack of production capacity
