LGO’s Trinidad Assets
Three asset areas in the prime hydrocarbon play zone:• Goudron IPSC (100%) with 2P reserves of 7.2
mmbbls and over 60 mmbbls of contingent resources associated with a future water flood. Active production growth from a 30 well infill development drilling programme now drilling well seven
• Icacos Field in the Cedros Peninsula (50%, non-operator), producing ~35 bopd from three wells. Future opportunities for infill and redevelopment
• Over 7,500 acres of largely unexplored 100% owned private oil leases in the Cedros and in rights held in partnership with Beach Oilfield Limited
• HOA signed for acquisition (100%) of Trinity-Inniss Field. Existing production of 140-150 bopd from 25 active wells with immediate new and infill wells upside

Goudron Field Overview
• Goudron is located in Guayaguayare and produces light oil (averaging at least 38 oAPI)
• Discovered in 1927 the field has a long history, but only limited production with less than 5 mmbbls produced
• 154 wells were drilled before 1981, last previous well GOU-1/2 in 1991/2; LGO started drilling in April 2014
• LGO acquired the IPSC in October 2012 and has since then:
• Conducted over 70 well reactivations• Carried out several recompletions• Drilled 7 new wells in a 30 well redevelopment• Placed 5 wells on stream (as @ end Oct 2014)
• Production has already increased from 30 bopd to over 900 bopd and is set to exceed 1,000 bopd in late 2014

Goudron Phase 1: Infrastructure
• Located in the remote primary forests of the Trinity Hills Wildlife Sanctuary
• Limited work undertaken over last 30 years
• LGO has:• Increased sales tank capacity 5-fold• Refurbished previous tank facilities• Repaired bridges and roads• Installed a new communications• Extended and restored electrical power• Constructed new water treatment facilities
• Created a platform for future growth
11
• Commissioned facilities with:• offices• workshops• stores• hot-work area• crew rest area• accommodation
• All key infrastructure is now in place for the 30 well drilling campaign now underway and capacity for oil production up to ~ 2,000 bopd

Phase 2: Infill Development Drilling
• Infill locations selected to have low risk of finding oil pay based on offset wells
• Where upswept oil is predicted to be present by comparison with nearby wells

Goudron Phase 3: Water Flood
• Local analogue at Beach-Marcelle Field recovered approximately 30 mmbbls
• Wealth of local experience in Trinidad
• Over 60 mmbbls of 3C (contingent) resources
• Existing study for > 4,000 bopd capacity. New scoping studies starting now
• Collection of critical data during current drilling phase
• LR Senergy have been engaged to lead the technical work
15
Goudron Production Forecast
• Continue with Phase 2 primary recovery drilling programme; wells 9 to 30
• Initiate a field-wide water-flood to boost production and ultimate recovery

Installing new well tanks• LGO holds rights to over 10,500 acres of largely underexplored leases
• Evaluate all existing data and wells. Only deep well found oil
• En echelon trend with the Soldado offshore fields complex
• Acquired a micro-seepage survey in 2014
• Flying a high resolution gravity and magnetics survey in late 2014

Why use airborne gravity?
• Long regional 2D lines of moderate quality
• Marked lack of success with the 3D method
• Extensive global success in combining FTG and 2D seismic
Airborne FTG Survey

Installing new well tanks• Survey to be flown in late 2014 by ARKeX Limited (www.arkex.co.uk)• First use of Full Tensor Gravity Gradiometry in Trinidad• Multi-client survey: current participants are Petrotrin and LGO Energy
