Frontier Resources Oman Limited signs EPSA for Oman Block
Frontier Resources Oman Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Frontier Resources International Plc has signed
an Exploration and Production Sharing Agreement (EPSA) with the Government of the Sultanate of Oman for a 100%
interest in Block 38, the Mudayy Block. The EPSA is a six year agreement comprising two three year phases. The
Block covers an area of 17,425 square kilometers and is located in the Dhofar region of southwest Oman in the
southern part of the Rub Al Khali Basin. To the west lies the Republic of Yemen and to the east is the prolific
South Oman Salt Basin. Block 38 has had only three wells drilled and is considered prospective for oil and gas
given the production from the nearby Block 6 operated by Petroleum Development Oman.
Based on the evaluation of vintage seismic, well data and regional geologic studies Frontier is of the opinion
that the Block contains an untested salt basin with exploration potentially analogous to the other proven salt
basins of Oman. Primary targets are the carbonate stringers embedded in Ara Group salts lying at depths of
between 3,000 and 5,000 meters. Secondary targets include the shallower Haima Play which had minor oil shows
during drilling and the deeper Buah Formation which has proven to be gas productive elsewhere in Oman.
Frontier will conduct geophysical and geological studies during the first phase of the agreement to determine
the range of drilling opportunities that may be available. This information will then be used to design a 3D
seismic survey the results of which will lead to the drilling of a well if a suitable structure is identified.
The Company plans to immediately start the reprocessing of older seismic data and acquire aerogravity and
magnetic surveys early in the new year in preparation for the 3D seismic.
The Directors of Frontier are responsible for the contents of this announcement.
