GENERAL ASPECTS ABOUT KENYA

Lies on the Eastern part of Af i Africa, astride t id the th Equator. E t Area: 582,646 sq.km Population approximately 40 million illi Coastline: About 550 km long Deep water Harbour in Mombasa Beautiful Coastal White Sand Beaches

SEDIMENTARY BASINS
Kenya has four(4) sedimentary basins with good potential t ti l f for di discovery of fh hydrocarbons. d b Th The basins are: Lamu, Mandera, Anza and Tertiary Rift. Combined basin area of about 485,000km 485 000km2 Lamu Basin: Has both Onshore and offshore exploration sub-basins. Geology is similar to the coastal basins of Tanzania and Mozambique q where commercial gas deposits have so far been discovered. Sediment thickness of about 13,000m

SEDIMENTARY BASINS CONT:

Anza Basin: O h Onshore b basin i which hi h is i a continuation ti ti of f th the Central African Rift System into Kenya from South Sudan where commercial oil reserves are proven and production is on stream. Sediment thickness of about 10,000m Mandera O h Onshore Basin B i whose h geology l extends t d i into t th the Luug-Mandera Basin of Somalia and Ogden Basin of Ethiopia. Sediment thickness of about 10,000m ,

SEDIMENTARY BASINS CONT:

Tertiary Rift Basin Essentially onshore basin which in part extends into two major Lakes namely; Lake Turkana in the North and Lake Vi t i in Victoria i th the Western W t arm of f th the rift. ift Youngest of the four basins whose geology similar to Ugandas Albertine Graben Sediment thickness of about 4000m

BLOCKS BY BASIN
Basins currently sub-divided into 46 Exploration blocks and 45 licensed. The blocks are divided B t Between basins b i as f follows: ll (1) Lamu Basin- 31 blocks: -18 18 offshore -7 onshore and -6 both offshore and onshore (2) Mandera Basin- 3 blocks all onshore (3) ( ) Anza Basin4 blocks all onshore

(4) Tertiary Rift Basin- 8 blocks with 10BA, 10BB partly into Lake Turkana and 12Bpartly into Lake Victoria

STATUS OF EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES

44 Blocks are licensed to 23 International Oil Companies (IOCs) and one to NOCK. The major IOCs and blocks they operate are as follows: (1) Anadarko 5 deep offshore Blocks L5, L5 L7 L7, L11A, L11B and L12, Lamu Basin Company has finalized plans to mobilize for the drilling of two wells in two of the blocks L7 and L12 by January, 2013. 2. Apache- One offshore Block L8: Company to commence drilling an exploratory well in Mbawa Prospect in August 2012. 9

LICENSING OF BLOCKS
Licensing of petroleum exploration Blocks is governed by the Petroleum Exploration and Production Act Chapter 308 of the Laws of Kenya. All contracts are based on Model Production Sharing Contract (PSC) g of blocks is conducted on Licensing basis of an open door policy and analysis of Financial and Technical capabilities. capabilities Due encouraging results it is intended to introduce Licensing/ bidding rounds.

INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES
Emerging developments relating to oil discovery in Kenya which is a regional Socio-economic Hub Hub, points towards a wide range of investment opportunities in:
New blocks that will be constituted from the 25% relinquishment obligations upon the expiry p y of exploration p periods p for respective p licensed blocks. Establishment of local operation bases for Seismic Acquisition Service Companies and Seismic Processing Service Centre in the country. Establishment of local bases for drilling related services such as rig supply, mud 25 others. logging amongst

INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES Contd:

Construction of oil and gas pipeline networks Oil and d gas St Storage f facilities iliti Crude oil Refineries and finished products retail outlets p LNG Re-gasification and Liquefaction Plants LNG transportation vessels Local suppliers and service providers will find locally based market for their products and services.

CONCLUSIONS
Kenyas journey in the search for oil and gas has been long and difficult but the Governments efforts have now started to bear fruit for instance: Interest by major independent oil companies in Kenyas petroleum exploration portfolio is currently on an upward trend. This has added value to the quality of data and effective evaluation of the petroleum potential in the countrys four sedimentary basins. The discovery of more than 104m of net oil pay column in Ngamia 1 well of Block 10BB is a good indicator for additional discoveries in Kenyas four basins in the near future. Existing and upcoming investment opportunities are wide both in the upstream, midstream and down stream sub-sectors. Investors are encouraged to take advantage of this earliest opportunity to invest 27 in relevant sub-sectors
