Rationale for the Placing

On 20 July 2020 Global announced an updated estimate of prospective resources for its licence PEL0094, following its interpretation of the historic 3D seismic data over Block 2011A, which amounted to 687 MMbbl unrisked best estimate net prospective resources. It is the Company’s intention to seek a farm-in partner for exploration drilling on PEL 0094, and potentially also to progress the work programme over the PEL 0029 area.
