The document outlines the exploration model and challenges of ERHC Energy Inc., an independent oil company, emphasizing its business approach that includes acquiring exploration assets, building their value, and ultimately selling them for profit. It highlights the company's current exploration activities in regions like Kenya and Chad, detailing both past drilling efforts and future potential resources based on geological assessments. Additionally, the document warns investors about the inherent risks associated with forward-looking statements regarding the company's performance and exploration prospects.

others, those relating to the Company’s ability to exploit its commercial interests in Kenya, Chad, the JDZ and the
Exclusive Economic Zone of São Tomé and Príncipe, general economic and business conditions, changes in foreign
and domestic oil and gas exploration and production activity, competition, changes in foreign, political, social and
economic conditions, regulatory initiatives and compliance with governmental regulations and various other
matters, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. Given these concerns, investors and analysts should

Model

4. Exploration Company Business Model
• Step 1: Acquire
– Acquire early stage exploration assets – low entry costs
• Step 2a: Build
– Develop prospectivity of assets – G&G work, reserve
estimate, drilling
• Step 2b: Build
– Gain increased valuation of assets and company with Step
2a
• Step 3: Sell
– Sell assets or sell company at tremendous profit (just
before drilling or on discovery)

6. Salient Points on Model
• No cash flow
• Until discovery of oil and/or sale of asset or company
(“Payout”)
• Equity is sole source of capital
• Working capital before Payout is from sale of equity in (a)
asset and/or (b) company
• Process-driven value
• Value accretions of asset and company predictable through
asset prospectivity development
• High risk
• But high reward when successfully executed

18. Republic of Kenya
• ERHC’s Block 11A (2.9 million acres) is at the
intersection of two major rift systems
• The East African rift play is one of the hottest
trends in global oil exploration
• Recent East African rift discoveries include:
– Ngamia (Kenya) 200-250 million barrels of oil
– Twiga (Kenya) flowed at a cumulative rate of 5,200
barrels/day
– Lake Albert (Uganda) 1.3 billion barrels of oil

19. Recent Exploration Success
• Ngamia-1 and Twiga South-1 wells in Block 10BB nearby
Northwest Kenya
The proximity and in-trend
relationship between the
Lotikipi plane and the Abu
Gabra Rift basins of southern
Sudan suggest high oil and gas
prospectivity

Regional Geology
The area is dominated by the Cretaceous Central
Africa Rift System (CARS) and the Tertiary East
Africa Rift System (EARS) with the associated basin
depositional trends
Recent Rift Margin
Discoveries in Block 10BB
Similar to Uganda Finds
Operator Tullow estimates the
discoveries may be similar in size to
the Lake Albert Rift Basin in
Uganda, which are estimated at
2,000 MMBOE
Regional Geology
Gravity data enabled the delineation of a
sedimentary basin within the Block 11A area
below the Lotikipi plain with a basin-fill
believed to be in excess of 5,000 meters

20. Kenya Block 11A Exploration
• Pursue East African Rift Play:
– Approx. 1.5 MM acres of prospective Rifts identified
– Two main rift areas;
• South:
– Apparent Tertiary rift basin enters the block, as identified based
gravity maps derived from satellite measurements
• North:
– Lotikipi basin: Cretaceous?/Tertiary rift basin identified by land and
airborne gravity acquired by Amoco and Camec, as well as identified
on scarce seismic coverage shot by Amoco in 1985
– Estimated unrisked resources range: 250-1200mmboe
(based on analogues with nearby Lokichar Sub Basin Tullow Oil’s
discoveries)

21. Block 11A

In southern part of Block

In northern part of Block 11A airborne gravity acquired by
Amoco and CAMEC identified the Lotikipi graben , a
Cretaceous? Tertiary Rift basin. Seismic shot by Amoco in
1985 points to the possibility for fault traps as seen in
recent Tullow discoveries.

27. Chad Block BDS2008 Exploration Focus
• Pursue Rift Margin Play:
– Approx. 570,000 acres on Rift Margin of Doseo and Doba basins
– Two main areas of focus:
• Focus Area 1:
– North of Esso’s Tega and Maku discoveries in Doseo basin
» Additional 2D seismic required to firm up leads
» Unrisked resource potential ≈100 MMBO
• Focus Area 2:
– East of and on trend with OPIC Benoy-1 Rift Margin discovery in Doba basin
» Initially acquire airborne gravity/magnetics survey in Q4,2013
» Based on results of above, plan acquisition of 2D seismic
» With expected analogue structuring as found to the west unrisked
resource potential ≈ 150 MMBO
– Resource potential 250 MMBOE

28. Focus Area 1 and Area 2

34. São Tomé and Príncipe Exclusive Economic Zone
• Virtually surrounded by proven hydrocarbon
systems
• ERHC has a 100 percent working interest in Blocks 4
and 11
• Free of signature bonuses
• Additional rights to acquire up to a 15 percent paid
working interest in two additional blocks
• Cretaceous Turbidite fan deposits from offshore
Gabon may have formed traps in Blocks 4 and 11
• Similar fan plays led to the Jubilee Field discovery
34

35. Regional Setting
• São Tomé and Príncipe are volcanic islands
approximately 200 km south of the Nigerian
coast
• Territorial waters are deep with water depths
ranging 2500-3000m
• Thick sediment cover representing distal
prodeltaic sediments of the Cretaceous
Ogooué delta of Gabon

36. Part 3. The
Continuing
Investment
Rationale
36

37. Example of Successful Exploration Business Model
• Pre-drilling of
Rovuma Field,
Mozambique: $18m
valuation
• 12 months later, after
drilling and huge discovery
in Rovuma: $2bn valuation
37

38. ERHC Investment Opportunities
• ERHC is open to discuss
– Farm-in and other partnerships on ERHC’s oil
and gas assets
– Equity participation in asset-holding
subsidiaries
– Other routes to participation in ERHC’s diverse
asset portfolio
38

39. Summary
• Early Stage Exploration
– High risk
– Possibility (but no guarantee) of high reward
• Small Independent
– Focus on early mover opportunity and low-entry cost
– Revenues during execution limited to sale of:
• Company equity
• Equity in asset
• Proven Business Model
– Precedents of successful execution and large profits
– Perseverance is key
