PGNiG Norway

­PGNiG Norway AS has been established for the purposes of the Norwegian Continental Shelf project, the aim of which is to provide access to new recoverable reserves of oil and gas outside Poland. The principal business objective of ­PGNiG Norway is to explore for and produce crude oil and natural gas on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. The company has been pre-qualified by the Norwegian authorities as an operator.

On the Norwegian Continental Shelf, ­PGNiG Norway and its partners are implementing the Skarv/Snadd/Idun development project. ­PGNiG Norway holds a 12% interest in the licence; other interest holders are British Petroleum Norge AS (operator, 24%), Statoil Petroleum AS (36%) and E.ON Ruhrgas Norge AS (28%).

The Skarv project is one of the largest projects currently underway in Norway.

Production from the Skarv field will be carried out using a floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel with a flare tower. The platform, built in South Korea, is the largest FPSO vessel in the world, able to operate in rough weather conditions. After the finishing work and installation tests had been performed in the shipyard, the vessel was anchored in open sea, directly above the Skarv field, upon which all subsea structures (foundation slabs, gas pipelines etc.) were installed on the Skarv and Idun fields. Rough weather conditions delayed the installation of production pipes. Accordingly, the production launch has been postponed until the fourth quarter 2012.

The produced oil will be sold directly from the platform and transported by a business partner operating a fleet of shuttle tankers. The produced gas will be transmitted over the Gassled Area B System gas pipeline to the onshore terminal in Kårsto, to be redirected to Germany over the Gassled Area D System gas pipeline.

In October 2011, ­PGNiG Norway and Shell International Trading and Shipping Company Ltd. (“Shell”) concluded a crude oil sale agreement, whereby ­PGNiG Norway will sell to Shell ­PGNiG Norway’s share in crude oil produced from the Skarv field. The agreement was executed for an indefinite term and will become effective in the month when production from the field is launched. The minimum term of the agreement is 12 months.

In 2011, an appraisal well was drilled in the Snadd North field, discovered in 2010. As the exploratory well on licence PL419 proved dry and due to the low permeability of gas reservoir on licence PL326 (Gro field), work on the licences was discontinued.

In 2012, the company will also continue appraisal work on the Snadd North field. Further, the company plans to acquire new licence areas through participation in annual licence rounds or by acquiring interests from other entities.

POGC Libya

The core business of Polish Oil and Gas Company-Libya B.V. consists in the exploration for and production of hydrocarbons in Libya. The company conducts exploration work in licence area No. 113 located within the Murzuq petroleum basin, under an Exploration and Production Sharing Agreement of February 25th 2008 concluded with the Libyan government.

In 2011, the National Oil Corporation gave its consents (including one conditional consent) to the company’s drilling of two exploratory wells within the licence area. The company has also submitted two further drilling projects for approval by the National Oil Corporation. By February 2011, the company acquired 3,000 km of 2D profiles and 1,087 km² of 3D profiles, and carried out a number of geological analyses. Preparations for the drilling are underway.

When the civil war in Libya broke out in February 2011, all non-Libyan personnel of POGC Libya were evacuated from the country. In March 2011, the company gave notice to the National Oil Corporation of a force majeure event, which suspended performance of the Exploration and Production Sharing Agreement until the situation, which provided the basis for such notice, ceases to apply. In October 2011, the civil war in Libya ended and the company resumed the operation of the office for local employees.

In 2011 in Poland, in cooperation with ­PGNiG, the company completed the geological interpretation of 2D seismic data and planned data acquisition for the remaining second phase of the 3D survey.

In 2012, POGC Libya plans to bring expatriates back to Libya, and when the situation is stable enough to ensure the employees’ personal safety, the company will resume its work under the EPSA agreement. Having resumed the performance of the agreement, the company will commence drilling of exploratory wells in the second half of 2012 and the acquisition of second-phase 3D data. If the wells prove positive, POGC Libya intends to commence drilling of appraisal wells. As the Libyan market is expected to open to foreign investors, the company will apply for new exploratory and production licences.
