Guyana strategic positioning building on Orinduik footprint

Exposure to large Canje play and prospectivity

• Exploration catalysts: near-term exposure to low risk, high impact two-well drilling programme in Canje Blockoffshore Guyana led by ExxonMobil.

• Enhancing Guyana footprint and play exposure: Canje Block is located ~180km offshore Guyana, covers ~4,800km2

in deep to ultra-deep water (1,700m-3,000m), and contains prospectivity in both continental slope and basin floortargets. Canje Block lies directly to the Northeast (outboard) of the prolific Stabroek Block.

• Future Collaboration: the transaction has created a strategic partnership between Eco and JHI and the opportunityfor future collaboration between the companies, both having a deep knowledge of the Guyana-Suriname Basin.

• Building on Orinduik’s Significant Resource Potential: multiple billion barrel oil prospects on Canje in addition toOrinduik’s Gross Prospective Resource over 5 billion Barrels of Oil Equivalent vastly increases the scale of the basinopportunity for Eco.
