Syntroleum Strategy Targets 1-3 TCF Gas Fields
200+ non producing fields world wide with reserves of 1 to 3 TCF
Syntroleum GTL targets many smaller fields.
LNG and World scale GTL projects target a few larger fields
1) Gas fields outside of North America

Syntroleum’s First Project:Aje Field Offshore Nigeria
• Previously discovered oil and gas field offshore Nigeria– Two wells successfully tested oil and
gas• GTL Technology was enabling factor
in acquiring the block • Nine months from initial review to
partner commitment of $95 million to earn their interest
• Re-processed and mapped geophysical data
• Current status:– Drilling permit granted– Assignment of interest approved by
the Nigerian Government – Transocean SEDCO 709 to arrive late

Multiple Opportunities in Nigeria
• Existing independent Nigerian field owners– Currently pursuing nine (9) opportunities
• Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC)Equity Gas GTL Venture– Negotiations underway– 41 potential GTL Barge sites – Excess barge energy provides needed electric power source
• Open blocks with proven gas discoveries – Participating in bid round – 11 blocks of interest – Have formed three bidding consortiums for specific areas

Key Driver of Mid-Term Fiancial Results – Aje Current AssumptionsPricing• NYMEX strip through 2010, $35/Bbl thereafter
Production Volumes• GTL FPSO producing
– 17,000 Bpd of syncrude– 10,000 Bpd of condensate– 50,000 Bpd of peak oil crude
Infrastructure • Oil reservoir: 13 producers, 3 injectors and subsea infrastructure• Gas reservoir: 4 new producers plus completing Aje-1 and Aje-2 and subsea infrastructure• Leased oil FPSO (2007-2010) replaced by a leased GTL/Oil FPSO (2010-2030)
Operating and Capital Costs• $28 MM for Aje-3 dry hole turnkey cost plus $8 MM for testing• Total field development cost (oil and gas) of $852 Million• Upstream operating costs of $2.00/Bbl crude oil and $1.50/bbl condensate• Leased crude oil FPSO at a rate $100,000 per day (2007-2010)• Leased GTL/Oil FPSO at a day rate of $100,000 per day for crude oil processing and an additional
toll rate of $20/Bbl of GTL products produced (2010 – 2030)

Aje Compared to ConventionalE&P Projects
1Source: 2003 John S. Herold, Inc. , Herold Global Upstream Performance Review
2 Aje Oil Only - Costs assume $666 Million oil field development cost to produce 200 million bbl of oil reserves, $2.00/Bbl oil field operations cost and $100,000/day oil FPSO lease rate for an oil production rate of 40,000 Bpd.
3 Aje Gas Dev.- Costs assume $186 Million gas field development cost, $900 million capital cost for a GTL/Oil FPSO, $15,000/day gas field operations cost and FPSO operations cost of $120,000/Day. It is assumed that Aje contains 74 million bbls of condensate and can produce 116 million bbls of GTL fuels. Assumes production of 10,000 Bpd of condensate and 17,000 Bpd of syncrude from GTL.

The Syntroleum Process uses Air
• Unique air-based design eliminates costly oxygen plant to make syngas
• Air offers several key competitive advantages:– Safe to operate in marine environment – Ability to compress footprint – “mobility”– Scales down to capture smaller accumulations
