  33. Summary of Atlantic Prospetivity • Seismic mapping identified more than 210 prospects and leads of various types; • Data evidence from wells and outcrops show good Source Rocks; • Data evidence from wells, outcrops and 3D seismic interpretation supports the presence of various levels of reservoirs; • The Open Acreage in the Atlantic Deep Offshore offers many attractive 3D & 2D leads and mature prospects. At this stage, a substantial drilling efforts is necessary that will led to future discoveries. March 3, 2010
