2H 2013: Business Case Thinking

• Strong value proposition

– Numerous opportunities – development assets in particular

– Number of failed disposals and capital flight from region to accelerate further disposal needs

– UK one of the most liquid deal markets in the world and Norwegian asset liquidity improving

• Limited competition

– ‘Bear’ market for mid-small UK public quoted E&P companies (46% discount to NAV at time)

– Some PE focus in region but none of scale

• Great opportunity for an experienced team with the right capital structure to build a high quality geographically focussed business

• Build a portfolio of assets where team’s extensive North Sea experience could create value through follow-on investment and reserves growth - ‘buy and build-out’

• Specific pipeline of targeted deals

2014: Fund Raising and NewCo Start-up

4

• Firm $500mm initial equity line targeted, not just seed funding, to maximise counterparty engagement

• Working with Blue Water Energy a small number of potential Private Equity funding partners approached

• Blackstone viewed as great partner

– Material capital available and ability to ‘upscale’

– Experienced energy investor

– Fully engaged

• Intensive diligence on business plan and management track record conducted e.g.

– Corporate level metrics (RoE, unit cost benchmarking, reserves/production growth)

– Drilling and project track record

• Negotiations concluded, company legals completed and Newco launched Q3 2014

• Initial team and board build-out completed

• Asset acquisition discussions ongoing in parallel

• Oil price collapses……

Raising equity not for the faint hearted, but fully funded and ready for business!

2015-2016: A ‘Buyers Market’?

• Over 100 opportunities screened

• >70% ruled out quickly – focus on quality

• Oil price volatility and uncertainty impacted deal execution:

– counterparty budget revisions

– unrealistic expectations

– UK deals dropped to historic lows

– write downs and stable oil price outlook key to recent industry deals

• A number of fully diligenced/financed offers made – hold value was the issue (‘no deal’ with anyone typically)

• Proactivity, perseverance and creativity key in our deal delivery:

– Feb 16 – signed deal to acquire interest in giant Mariner field. Closed Aug 16

– Nov 16 – signed deal to acquire OMV’s entire UK business. Closed Jan 17

• SPE’s OMV deal was the largest in the UK since 2012

• Subsequently there have been a number of significant acquisitions in NW Europe including:

– Chysaor/Shell Neptune/Engie

– Ineos/DONG Delek/Ithaca

– CPPIB/Shell Ireland Total/Maersk

OGA (DECC) in 2015 estimated

c2.6 billion boe are yet to be

found in the Atlantic Margin area

(mid case estimate)

Major new geological plays are

still being found in the basin:• Intra-volcanic sands

• Cretaceous sands against

structural highs

• Basin floor sands

• Fractured basement

With all these new play concepts,

Siccar Point consider that

estimate to now be conservative

SPE is also well positioned in the

other key long-term theme for the
