The Group’s core asset is a 100 per cent interest in an exploration and production licence (Licence 61), covering 4991 sq. kms in the Tomsk Region of Western Siberia, containing two proven oil fields, Lineynoye and Tungolskoye, and some 25 additional prospects and potential prospects, which have already been identified by seismic surveys.
Ryder Scott Company, the independent petroleum consultants, estimate the reserves in various categories on the licence as follows;
Lineynoye and Tungolskoye oil fields;
Proved and Probable (P1 +P2) 33.5 million barrels
Possible (P3) 37.1 million barrels
Total (P1+P2+P3) 70.6 million barrels
25 Prospects and Potential Prospects;
Possible (P3) 253 million barrels
Exploration Resource (P4) 100 million barrels
Total (P3+P4) 353 million barrels
The Group’s activities are focused on the development of this core area
through planned early production of its existing Proved and Probable
reserves and the determination of its full upside reserve potential on
established targets. Contracts for three wells are in place, commencing
in January 2007. A full production feasibility study is underway.
500 line kms of seismic are planned, commencing November 2006.
The Group’s senior management team has substantial experience and
knowledge of acquiring, exploring and developing hydrocarbon assets and

Dennis Francis, Chief Executive Officer of PetroNeft Resources plc commented:
‘Operationally it has been a busy year with many significant accomplishments highlighted by the Company’s admission to the AIM and IEX Markets. We are delighted to have received such positive backing from the capital markets for our oversubscribed equity fundraising. These funds will be used to execute a three well operational programme designed to prove up our reserves base and take the first step towards production.
Tomsk Oblast is a world class petroleum province, with high quality local personnel and infrastructure in place on the ground. We firmly believe that our unique combination of experienced international management, top quality local operational staff and supportive shareholders provides us with a strong base for a successful future.’
Chairman’s Statement
It has been 18 months since the concept of PetroNeft Resources plc was developed and started to become a reality. Now the company is fully structured and funded for the 2006/2007 work programme, has a clearly defined path to production from its two proven oilfields, has an exploration schedule to expand the reserve base, and has been admitted to the London AIM Market and Irish IEX Market.
The basis for the success of any company are excellent projects, outstanding staff and the ability to efficiently finance and execute its activities to provide value for shareholders. These are now in place at PetroNeft and we can look forward to an exciting future as we develop the company’s assets.
Operations - Licence 61, Tomsk Oblast, Russian Federation
PetroNeft Resources plc, through its wholly owned Russian subsidiary Stimul-T, holds 100% interest in an exploration and production licence (“Licence 61”) in the Tomsk Oblast in Western Siberia. Licence 61 covers an area of 4,991 sq. kms., equivalent in size to approximately 24 UK North Sea blocks. Licence 61 contains two proven oil fields, Lineynoye and Tungolskoye, that were discovered by a State Exploration Enterprise in the early 1970s. The Company views Licence 61 as a “Core Area”, with oil production potential for a long period of time from both proven oil fields and other identified exploration prospects.
Since acquiring Licence 61 the Company has reprocessed and reinterpreted 2,650 line kms of previous 2D seismic data using modern technology. In addition the well logs from 14 previous wells drilled on Licence 61 have been digitised and reinterpreted. The Company also acquired a further 515 line kms of 2D seismic data in the winter season 2005/2006. All of this new, reprocessed and reinterpreted data was used by Ryder Scott Company Petroleum Consultants as the basis for their reserve evaluation of Licence 61.
Bringing all of the previous data on Licence 61 together into a cohesive and comprehensive package, followed by, the acquisition and integration of new seismic data, has defined a clear programme of work into the future. This programme is designed to achieve both early production and the expansion of recoverable reserves through exploration.
The work programme for the winter season of 2006/2007 has already commenced. A new 500 line km 2D seismic survey is underway. The mobilisation of two drilling rigs began in February. Construction is underway to allow the drilling of a delineation well on the Lineynoye Oil Field beginning in January 2007. A second well, on the Tungolskoye Oil Field, will commence in February, and a third well, on the high potential West Lineynoye Prospect, estimated to contain 67 million bbls of oil, will begin in May/June 2007. A full Production Feasibility Study has also commenced and will be completed in July 2007, when a decision to sanction the development project will be made.
In addition to its activities to commercialise the existing discoveries on Licence 61, the drilling of the West Lineynoye Prospect also gives the Company a relatively low risk opportunity to triple its proved and probable reserve base from 33.5 million barrels to approximately 100 million barrels of oil. The amount of leverage that this one well, drilled on the first of more than twenty seismically identified structures with significant hydrocarbon potential on Licence 61, could have on the Company’s reserve base is rare for the industry. It further illustrates how eventful, and hopefully successful, the year ahead will be for PetroNeft.
While the Company’s focus remains on the development of Licence 61, we continue to review other assets and projects that could enhance the Company’s reserve base and operations.
Admission to AIM & IEX markets
As a private company prior to the recent placing and admission to trading on the AIM and IEX markets, PetroNeft raised a total of US$8 million. An additional US$15.5 million was raised at admission, which has put the company on a sound financial footing and provided funding for the next year of operations. It has transformed the Company into one that has a strong institutional shareholder base and sets the framework on which the future financing of the Company will be organised.
Outlook
The first 18 months of our company’s life has been an exciting time and the next 12 months promises to be equally exciting. By July of 2007 it is hoped that the company will be able to take the decision to begin field and infrastructure development, leading to production in 2008. Taking an exploration asset like ours to start of production is not an easy task and requires considerable expertise, hard work and team effort to do well. The company is fortunate to have assembled an experienced management team that has successfully been though this process many times both inside and outside of Russia.
I would like to thank shareholders for their support of the company to date and look forward to reporting on our progress over the coming months and years.
