Exploration has delivered a number of successful developments in Gabon such as Ompoyi and Orindi (offshore) and Oba (onshore) fields, the latter being the largest discovery to be made in the country in the last 5 years.
An active exploration campaign has seen an increase in exploration. In 2007, Perenco completed the acquisition of 600 square kilometres of 3D seismic data over the Arouwe license; these data are currently being processed and will lead to evaluation during the remainder of this year to lead to potential well locations for the 2009 Offshore West Africa drilling campaign.

Perenco also recently completed the drilling of the suspended Andende well to a final TD
of 4373mMD to test a high pressure gas play in the Madiela Formation. This well has attempted
to open a new play system in Gabon, and the results are being evaluated.
Perenco has recently completed a detailed description of the hydrocarbon systems in the Gabonese basins to understand their development and sediment fill, to determine the play elements and define play fairways that have material potential. This will allow Perenco to focus on plays that have the potential for material prospects, and we are in the process of updating the exploration portfolio.
