below OGX’s ownership after the IPO:
th
OGX’s cash position which amounted to R$ 7.2 billion as of June 30 2008, will be used to fund our exploration

3. Update: Exploration Assets
Campos Basin
Campos Basin, with a total sedimentary area of approximately 115,000 km², is the largest oil and natural gas
producing region in Brazil. In 2007, Campos Basin accounted for approximately 77% of the Brazilian oil
production.
OGX has concession rights over seven exploration blocks, which comprise a total area of 1,177 km² in the
Southern part of Campos Basin, considered the most prolific basin in Brazil. OGX will operate five of these
concessions, while the other two will be operated by our partner Maersk.
Below are some recent events in Campos Basin:
Hiring of PGS for the execution of the 3D seismic campaign. Seismic data shooting will start in the second
half of 2008 and final reprocessed data will be interpreted by the OGX team during the first half of 2009;
Charter of the drilling units “Ocean Ambassador” and “Ocean Lexington”. OGX will charter each rig for a
period of 3 years and will use them in the exploration campaign in Campos Basin from the second half of
2009 on;
The environmental study for the drilling license is in the development phase.
Santos Basin
Santos Basin currently represents one of the most promising exploration areas in Brazil, with a total area of
approximately 350,000 km²
OGX currently has rights over five exploration blocks in Santos Basin, covering a total area over 1,000 km², of
which four were acquired in ANP’s Ninth Bidding Round and one through a farm-in agreement in which we
acquired a 50% participating interest that remains subject to ANP’s approval.
Below are some recent events in this basin:
Hiring of CGG to reprocess the 3D seismic data which will be finished in the second half of 2008;
Charter of the drilling unit “Ocean Quest”, which can drill up to 7,600m deep, in water depths up to 1,100m.
OGX will charter this unit for a period of two years and it will be used primarily for the OGX exploration
campaign in Santos Basin, starting in the second half of 2009;
The environmental study for the drilling license is in the development phase.
4. Espírito Santo Basin
It is believed that Espírito Santo Basin is a promising oil and natural gas region in Brazil, with a total area of
90,000 km².
Currently, the Company has concession rights over five exploration blocks in the Espírito Santo Basin, with a
total area of 3,620 km². All of these blocks are located in deepwater and will be operated by Perenco, which is
our partner in these blocks with a 50% ownership.
The exploration prospects identified have similar geologic features to those of oil and natural gas fields
already discovered in this basin, such as the Golfinho, Camarupim and Canapu light oil and natural gas fields.
In this basin, we highlight:
The operator, Perenco, is hiring WesternGeco to perform the seismic campaign, comprising 3D and 2D
seismic data. Data shooting is planned to start by the end of the second half of 2008.
Pará-Maranhão Basin
Although no commercial discovery has been announced in the Pará-Maranhão Basin to date, OGX believes
there is significant potential there, given that the geologic features present in the region are similar to those in
Ghana (West Africa), where there have been important discoveries of light oil in recent years. The Pará-
Maranhão Basin has a total sedimentary area of approximately 100,000 km².
OGX currently has concession rights over five exploration blocks in the Pará-Maranhão Basin, covering a
total area of 960 km². Past drilling activities in the region, near three of our exploration blocks, indicated the
presence of light oil.
In this basin, we highlight:
We have acquired and are reprocessing 3D data in two of our blocks and we have hired PGS to execute
the 3D seismic campaign for the remaining blocks in this basin, which will be initiated by the second half of
2008;
The environmental study for the drilling license is in the development phase.
5. OGX Milestones Roadmap
Capital Market
th th
Between June 13 and 30 , OGX’s share price appreciated 12.29%, ending the second quarter at R$ 1,290.
In the same period, Ibovespa decreased 3.25%. The average daily trading volume for the period amounted to
R$ 461.9 million.
st
Since the end of 2Q08, our stock was negatively affected by market volatility. Between July 1 and August
th
11 , the share price decreased 44.9%. Such performance can be attributed, among others reasons, to the
price of oil in the international market. Significant drops were also seen in the stock price of the main Oil &
Gas companies.
In addition, the statements made by Government officials in relation to possible changes in taxation and in
regulatory framework in the Brazilian oil and gas sector also generated uncertainty and negatively impacted
our stock price.
th
On July 4 , Credit Suisse was hired as OGX’s market maker, aiming at improving the liquidity of our shares.

Net Income
th
The Company’s net loss for the quarter ending June 30 , 2008, amounted to R$ 273.6 million. Excluding the
effect of the non-recurring expenses of the initial public offering, the Company presented a pro-forma net
income of R$35.9 million. The reversal in net result for the quarter was primarily driven by the expenses
mentioned in the next item.
General and Administrative Expenses
The significant increase in the period was driven by the costs related to the initial public offering, held in June
2008. The main expenses that occurred were: bank commissions in the total amount of R$283.7 million,
brokers commissions of R$10.9 million, liquidation and custody services of R$2.3 million, auditors and lawyers
fees of R$6.7 million and publications of R$495 thousand.
Financial Results
The change was a result of the negative adjustments from hedge positions of future commitments in foreign
currency (US dollar) occurred in the period, as well as financial income.
Deferred charges/Property, plant and equipment
The increase was due to capitalized expenditures of the subsidiary OGX Ltda. during the quarter, as it is in its
pre-operation phase, as well as to the net increase in the property, plant and equipment. The most significant
change refer to the acquisition of seismic data in the amount of R$9.8 million; the recruiting of technical
experts (engineers, G&G, among others), for managerial and strategic positions; fees owed to ANP referring
7. to the exploration blocks and commissions related to financial guarantees associated with on minimum work
program (PEM) and fees (technical, environmental, IT) and auditing.
Cash and cash equivalents
The very significant change was a result of funds obtained from the Initial Public Offering, held in July 2008.
Such resources are managed by the Company by means of an exclusive investment fund called Fundos de
Investimento Multimercado Crédito Privado OGX63. On June 30, 2008, the net average rate which
remunerated the investment funds was equivalent to 103.5% of CDI.
