Introduction

This report was prepared during the period August through December 2007, by Sproule International Limited (“Sproule”) at the request of Dr. Sotiris Kapotas, President, Stream Oil & Gas Ltd. Stream Oil & Gas Ltd. is hereinafter referred to as "the Company".

The report consists of a review of four production agreements and associated work programs entered into by the Company in four producing fields in . Three of the fields are fully developed oil fields and one is a partially developed gas field. All fields are operated by Sh.A., the Albanian state exploration and production company.

Under the terms of the agreements, the Company is entitled to a share of the current baseline production and to all incremental production in excess of the current baseline production. It has the right to take over operations of all wells in these fields and produce the remaining reserves, but it will not have ownership rights over petroleum in situ. The Company has submitted work programs and began operations under the agreements at the beginning of November, 2007.

All information reviewed in the development of this report was supplied by the Company.

This report was prepared in conjunction with a reverse takeover of a company listed on the CNQ exchange. It is our understanding that it may subsequently be incorporated into a submission by the Company for a listing on the TSX Venture Exchange. As such, it has been prepared to meet the standards of National Instrument (NI) 51-101.

This single volume report consists of the Introduction, Summary and Discussion. The Introduction includes disclaimers and author certificates, the Summary includes high-level summaries of the agreements and work programs and the Discussion includes general commentaries pertaining to the technical and economic review of the four fields and the Company’s agreements and work programs.

Summary

This report is based on agreements, interpreted technical data, production data and work programs supplied by the Company. Discussions with the Company, public information concerning petroleum operations in Albania, and our personal knowledge of the area and the complexities of oil and gas exploration, development and production, assisted in this review.

Effective September 9, 2007, the Company is party to four Petroleum Agreements for the Development and Production of Petroleum in the Gorisht-Kocul, Ballsh-Hekal and Cakran-Mollaj oil fields and the Delvina gas field (see Figure 1) currently operated by Albpetrol Sh.A., the Albanian state exploration and production company.

The first phase of each agreement consists of an Evaluation Period, which is 18 months for the oil fields and 24 months for the gas field. During this phase, the Company is required to conduct certain work with a minimum expenditure in each field, totaling US$4,800,000 in aggregate. To fulfill these commitments, the Company has developed a Work Program for each field, with an aggregate expenditure of $17,300,000 planned for the 2007-08 timeframe, representing significantly more than the minimum requirement. These programs do not require approval and were submitted to the Ministry of Natural Resources (AKBN) on October 30, 2007, well within the required 60 days from the Effective Date.

During the Evaluation Period, the Company must take over at least two wells in each of the three oil fields and any number of wells in the gas field, but may take over all wells in each field. In doing so, it will establish an Evaluation Area within each field, based on an assigned area centered on each selected well. Within that Evaluation Area, the Company will have exclusive rights to conduct operations and use, sell, exchange, export, realize or possess the petroleum extracted from the area; however, it will not have ownership rights over petroleum in situ in the area.

Between November 5th and 7th, 2007, the Company took over selected wells from the three oil fields and thus established the Evaluation Areas within those fields; as such, it now has rights to conduct operations and use, sell, exchange, export, realize or possess the petroleum extracted from those Evaluation Areas. On November 6, 2007, the Company also took over both producing wells in the Delvina gas field, taking over the field completely. The Company has advised us that oil and gas are being sold to the ARMO refinery under a sales agreement and condensate is being sold into the local market. In addition, a facilities upgrade program has been initiated and a 3D seismic program is currently in the start-up stage.

Summary — Page 2

The Company has the option to terminate each agreement upon completion of the respective Evaluation Periods but, if it does so, it must pay an amount equal to the unfulfilled part of the minimum financial commitment of each terminated Evaluation Program.

Following the Evaluation Period, each agreement provides for the subsequent establishment of a Development and Production Area for the ultimate purpose of optimizing production from the field, subject to the existing agreements.

As of the date of this report, the Company is in compliance with the terms of the agreements. Sproule has reviewed the Evaluation Period Work Programs established by the Company and consider them to be a reasonable and prudent approach to the identification of production optimization opportunities within these fields. At this time, it appears that the principal risks will be technical and commercial, based on the low average oil rates and high water cuts in the oil fields, and low gas rates in the gas field, requiring operational optimization and keen control of operating costs.

Under National Instrument (NI) 51-101, the agreements are considered to be risk-based contracts; accordingly, it is acceptable to recognize reserves to the Company’s interest under new COGEH guidelines for that have been approved but not yet published. At this time, however, no reserves or value can be attributed to the Company until it can demonstrate that its share of the oil and gas production is technically recoverable and economic.

It is our understanding that these agreements represent all of the Company’s petroleum and natural gas assets.

Discussion

Oil was first discovered in Albania in 1918 at Drashovice. In 1928, the Marinze oil field was discovered, containing a reported 1 billion barrels of 8o to 10o API oil, which would make it one of the largest onshore oil fields in . According to the World Bank, 4,666 oil wells have been drilled, of which 3,123 wells are operating and 981 wells are shut in or abandoned in the country. Of the 500 gas wells drilled in the country, only 255 have produced gas.

Albania's oil production peaked in 1975 and then declined until 1982, when a more rapid decline began due to lack of funding for field development and technical expertise. Current oil production is in the order of 8,000 bopd from 6 fields. Natural gas production is reported to have declined from about 21 MMcf/d in 1990 to about 8 MMcf/d in 2001, believed to be driven mainly by lack of local demand. Current gas production is in the order of 500 Mcf/d from 2 fields.

Approximately 80 percent of the oil production is heavy and, historically, the low recovery from these fields was primarily addressed by drilling on smaller and smaller spacing. As a result, field rehabilitation opportunities have been recognized in Albania but it has only been since 1991, when the country began the transition to an open-market economy, that foreign investment in the oil fields has been permitted.

Field Rehabilitation History

Until 1989, Albania was a net exporter of petroleum products but, by 2001, it was importing almost 75 percent of its needs. In the 1990s, efforts were made to attract foreign capital and technology, offering access to offshore acreage, followed by two onshore licensing rounds. In 1990, contracts were taken up on offshore blocks by international companies, including Deminex, Chevron, Occidental, Hamikon and AGIP. (OGJ, Apr. 20, 1992, p. 120) In 1993, legislation opened up onshore concessions and the first international onshore licensing round in 1992 offered access to seven onshore fields: Patos-Marinza and Kucova (Miocene sands); Visoke, Ballsh, Gorisht-Kocul and Cakran Mollaj (fractured Cretaceous-Paleocene limestone) and Delvina (fractured limestone). Several fields required enhanced oil recovery (EOR) projects. A field data package was available for $60,000 from Petroconsultants in Geneva and the bids were due Nov. 30, 1992. (OGJ, July 20, 1992, p. 40)

In August 1994, a partnership was established between Albpetrol and Premier Oil to exploit enhanced oil recovery techniques in older fields by updating downhole equipment and field transportation, processing, storage and export infrastructure; however, Premier farmed out part

3785.70440.JLC.ml

Discussion — Page 2

of its interest in one block in 1997 and withdrew altogether in 2000, leaving the program only partially implemented with only a limited increase in production being realized.

Also in 1994, Saxon International, a subsidiary of Bankers Petroleum, negotiated an agreement with Albpetrol on the Patos-Marinza field and made a $2 million minimum work commitment to work over 12 wells and a water disposal well, which it met by the end of 2004. In 2004, Saxon invested about $104,000 in acquisition and about $6.15 million on development. It planned to spend about $14 million recompleting 50 wells in 2005. Production increased from 600 b/d to 755 bopd by third-quarter 2004, and to 1157 bopd in the fourth quarter of 2004. By using a cold heavy oil production with sand (CHOPS) recompletion program with progressive cavity pumps, Saxon increased production to 2,300 bopd by early December 2005, and to a reported 4,400 bopd by the end of 2006. Saxon reportedly has a crude oil marketing agreement valid through 2010, under which the Albanian Refining and Marketing Organization (Armo Sh.A) will purchase up to 5,000 b/d from the field, capped at $22.60/bbl. This price is indexed to average Brent price, subject to a maximum Brent price of $35/bbl. (OGJ Online, Dec. 8, 2005)

In November 1994, a foreign investment law was enacted to attract and protect foreign investment, guard against nationalization or expropriation of assets and allow funds to be freely transferred in and out of the country.

In 1995, Albpetrol entered into a joint venture with Fountain Oil and CanArgo Energy to redevelop the Gorisht-Kocul oil field. As operator, Fountain was charged with finding financing for field redevelopment and providing EOR equipment. The field was producing about 1,200 b/d from 160 wells in 1995 and remaining reserves were reported to exceed 22 million barrels. Start- up was slated for early 1996. (OGJ, Oct. 30, 1995, p. 22)

The second onshore licensing round in November 1995 was attended by 30 oil companies. The offerings were two onshore blocks not awarded in the first licensing round, eight new onshore blocks and one block in the Adriatic Sea. Bids were received in mid-1996. (OGJ, Oct. 30, 1995, p. 22)

Civil unrest in early 1997 alarmed international investors but elections in June 1997 and a referendum in November, 1998, established Albania's current constitution.

In June 1998, Occidental and partners were awarded three onshore blocks but force majeure was declared in December 1998, due to deteriorating security conditions in neighboring Yugoslavia. In mid-April 2000, activity was resumed in two blocks but force majeure was retained on the other.

3785.70440.JLC.ml

J:\Stream 70440\Report\Summary.doc

Discussion — Page 3

OMV was awarded three blocks and also had force majeure declared but resumed activities in July 2000.

Beginning in 1996, Australia's Drillsearch Energy operated the Cakran-Mollaj and Ballsh-Hekal onshore oil fields. In August 1998, the company announced a contract to sell all production from both fields to Albpetrol and stated that its maximum production cost in Albania was $3.75/bbl. Drillsearch was reported to have raised oil output to 1,200 b/d, until it shut down operations under force majeure in 1998. Operations were resumed in 1999. Drillsearch is also reported to have had an oil sales contract dispute with Albpetrol, which still owed some $750,000 to Drillsearch in early 2000.

In late 2000, Occidental, Lundin and Forest Oil drilled a $16 million, 4,700 meter well on Block 2 in Mbrezhdan, in the region, about 112 km southeast of the capital, .

In August 2007, the Albanian cabinet approved four Petroleum Agreements with Stream. These agreements are summarized in the following discussion.

Agreements

On August 8, 2007, the Company entered into four Petroleum Agreements for the Development and Production of Petroleum with Albpetrol Sh.A., concerning the following onshore fields in Albania:

• Gorischt-Kocul oil field • Ballsh-Hekal oil field • Cakran-Mollaj oil field • Delvina gas and condensate field

The agreements entered into by the Company are included in full in Appendix B, and summarized as follows:

Ballsh-Hekal

The contract allows Stream the option of selecting wells for take over. They may choose all, or any number, of the wells but not less than two wells. The Evaluation Program will include reactivation or re-completion, which could include the following possible tasks: fracturing, acidization, sidetrack or horizontal drilling based on microseismic fracture orientation studies. The Evaluation Program also includes an estimate of the additional water handling capacity required and plans to increase this capacity. The selected wells will define the Project Area. The

Discussion — Page 4

minimum work commitment during the 18-month evaluation period is US$600,000. The Evaluation Period can be extended up to 6 months. Closer to the end of the Evaluation Period, the Company has to make the Evaluation Area a Development & Production Area and submit a Development Plan. The Development Plan is to contain details and the areal extent of the proposed Development Area and proposals relating to the spacing, drilling and completion of wells, production and storage facilities, and transportation and delivery facilities. Alternatively, the Company can farm out the assets but it has to pay the difference between the minimum commitment and the amount actually spent. It can farm out during the development stage but it will have to pay the annual work program minimum commitment. It can also assign a new Evaluation Period and get a work program approved with AKBN. The duration of the new Evaluation Period is 24 months and, if it decides to farm out, it will have to pay the minimum commitment defined in the work program. The contract allows the Company to receive a 100 percent working interest in the Evaluation Area. The Company pays Albpetrol 70 percent of a predetermined baseline production forecast from pre-existing well production. The baseline production forecast considers the pre-existing well production to decline at an annual rate of 10 percent. The Company receives 100 percent of incremental production over this baseline. The Company also pays a royalty to Albpetrol (from 2 to 6 percent of gross production based on a R factor), and a certain percentage of profit oil after all costs are recovered (one-fifth of the royalty percentage, 0.4 to 1.2 percent), a non-recoverable US$50,000 signature bonus and a minimum US$20,000 per year training commitment for Albpetrol employees. The Company has the responsibility for abandonment.

During the Evaluation Period, the Company has to prepare an annual program and budget within 60 days of the effective date but such program does not have to be approved with either Albpetrol or the Advisory Committee. If a second Evaluation Period is assigned, that annual work program does require the approval.

Gorisht-Kocul

The contract is identical to the Balsh-Hekal contract summarized above, except for the minimum work commitment during the 18-month Evaluation Period, which is US$700,000.

Cakran-Mollaj

The minimum work commitment during the 18-month Evaluation Period for Cakran-Mollaj is US$1,000,000. The contract allows the Company to receive a 100 percent working interest in the Evaluation Area. The Company pays Albpetrol 65 percent of a predetermined baseline production forecast from pre-existing well production. The baseline production forecast considers the pre-existing well production to decline at an annual rate of 10 percent. The Company receives 100 percent of incremental production over this baseline. The Company also

3785.70440.JLC.ml

J:\Stream 70440\Report\Summary.doc

Discussion — Page 5

pays a royalty to Albpetrol (from 2 to 6 percent of gross production based on a R factor), a certain percentage of profit oil after all costs are recovered (one-fifth of the royalty percentage, 0.4 to 1.2 percent), a non-recoverable US$100,000 signature bonus and a minimum US$20,000 per year training commitment for Albpetrol employees. The Company has the responsibility for abandonment.

Delvina

The contract for the Delvina gas field is similar to those for the oil fields, but includes an exploration phase. The field contains only two producing wells and, upon takeover, the entire field will be under the Company’s control. The Evaluation Program will include reactivation or re-completion, which could include the following possible tasks: fracturing, acidization, sidetrack or horizontal drilling based on microseismic fracture orientation studies. The Evaluation Program also includes an estimate of the additional water handling capacity required and plans to increase this capacity. The selected wells will define the Project Area. The minimum work commitment during the 24-month Evaluation Period is US$1,000,000. The Evaluation Period will be followed by a 24-month Exploration Phase 1, with a minimum work commitment of US$1,500,000, which is to include geological modeling, seismic and evaluation of the existing wells, and an optional 36-month Exploration Period Phase 2, with a minimum work commitment of US$7,000,000, which is to include the drilling of one exploration well. If the exploration well is drilled, then the Company is required to submit an Appraisal Program. Both exploration periods can be extended by 12 months. At any time during the Exploration Period, a Development Plan can be submitted. The Development Plan is to contain details and areal extent of the proposed Development Area and proposals relating to the spacing, drilling and completion of wells, the production and storage facilities, and transportation and delivery facilities.

Alternatively, the Company can farm out the assets but it has to pay the difference between the minimum commitment and the amount actually spent. It can farm out during the development stage but it will have to pay the annual work program minimum commitment. It can also assign new Evaluation and Exploration Periods and get a work program approved with AKBN. The duration of the new Evaluation Period is 24 months and, if it decides to farm out, it will have to pay the minimum commitment defined in the work program. The contract allows the Company to receive a 100 percent working interest in the Evaluation Area. The Company pays Albpetrol 70 percent of a predetermined baseline production forecast from pre-existing well production. The baseline production forecast considers the pre-existing well production to decline at an annual rate of 5 percent. The Company receives 100 percent of incremental production over this baseline. The Company also pays a royalty to Albpetrol (from 2 to 6 percent of gross production based on a R factor), a certain percentage of profit oil after all costs are recovered (one-fifth of the royalty percentage, 0.4 to 1.2 percent), a non-recoverable US$100,000

signature bonus and a minimum US$20,000 per year training commitment for Albpetrol employees. The Company has the responsibility for abandonment.

During the Evaluation Period, the Company has to prepare an annual program and budget within 60 days of the effective date but such program does not have to be approved with either Albpetrol or the Advisory Committee. If a second Evaluation Period is assigned, that annual work program does require the approval.

The fields are described individually in the following discussion:

Gorischt-Kocul

The Gorischt-Kocul field produces 13-16o API oil from fractured carbonates of Cretaceous – Paleocene age. The oil is reported to contain an average of 6 percent sulphur. The field is a structural trap, as shown in Figures 2 and 3. A well location map provided by the Company, included as Figure 4, shows the field to be fully developed with an average well spacing of approximately 2 ha/well (5 acres/well). The map also shows the interpreted position of the original oil-water contact and the interpreted position of the contact in 2004. To date, Sproule has not received sufficient geological information to confirm these interpretations.

The field came on production in 1966 and is reported to have produced 77.5 MMbbl of oil. The annual field production history is shown as Figure 5. Production is currently flat at approximately 1,000 bopd at a water-cut of 75 percent. Currently, 166 wells are on production and the field performance in terms of daily production is shown in Figure 6. On average, the field is producing 6 bopd/well.

On November 7, 2007, the Company took over five wells in the field and the historical performance for this group of wells is shown in Figure 7. A group production forecast and the Albpetrol share of the production, pursuant to the PSA, are also shown on the figure. The production ‘wedge’ between the Albpetrol share and the forecast is expected to be captured by the Company.

Production data was also provided by the Company for each well and the wells have been ranked on current production rate as shown in Table 2.

Ballsh-Hekal

The Ballsh-Hekal field produces 13o API oil from fractured carbonates of Cretaceous – Paleocene age. The oil is reported to contain an average of 6 to 8 percent sulphur. The field is a structural trap, as shown in Figures 8 and 9. A well location map provided by the Company, included as Figure 10, shows the field to be fully developed with an average well spacing of approximately 4 ha/well (10 acres/well). The map also shows the interpreted position of the original oil-water contact and the interpreted position of the contact in 2004. To date, Sproule has not received sufficient geological information to confirm these interpretations.

The field came on production in 1967 and is reported to have produced 33.4 MMbbl of oil. The annual field production history is shown as Figure 11. From this figure, it can be seen that production from the field has increased since 1999 and is currently approximately 520 bopd at a water-cut of 86 percent. Currently, 104 wells are on production and the field performance in terms of daily production is shown in Figure 12. On average, the field is producing 5 bopd/well.

On November 5, 2007, the Company took over six wells in the field and the historical performance for this group of wells is shown in Figure 13. A group production forecast and the Albpetrol share of the production, pursuant to the PSA, are also shown on the figure. The production ‘wedge’ between the Albpetrol share and the forecast is expected to be captured by the Company.

Production data was also provided by the Company for each well and the wells have been ranked on current production rate as shown in Table 3.

Cakran-Mollaj

The Cakran-Mollaj field produces 12-37o API oil from fractured carbonates of Cretaceous – Paleocene age. The oil is reported to contain an average of 1 percent sulphur. The field is a structural trap, as shown in Figures 14 and 15. A well location map provided by the Company, included as Figure 16, shows the field to be fully developed with an average well spacing of approximately 16 ha/well (40 acres/well). The map also shows the interpreted position of the original oil-water contact and the interpreted position of the contact in 2004. To date, Sproule has not received sufficient geological information to confirm these interpretations.

The field came on production in 1978 and is reported to have produced 24.0 MMbbl of oil. The annual field production history is shown as Figure 17. From this figure, it can be seen that production from the field is currently approximately 580 bopd at a 58 percent water cut and the average decline rate is 5 to 7 percent/year. Currently, 25 wells are on production and field

Discussion — Page 9

performance in terms of daily production is shown in Figure 18. On average, the field is producing 23 bopd/well.

On November 6, 2007, the Company took over 10 wells in the field and the historical performance for this group of wells is shown in Figure 19. A group production forecast and the Albpetrol share of the production, pursuant to the PSA, are also shown on the figure. The production ‘wedge’ between the Albpetrol share and the forecast is expected to be captured by the Company.

Production data was also provided by the Company for each well and the wells have been ranked on current production rate as shown in Table 4.

Delvina

The Delvina field produces gas and 62.5o API condensate from fractured carbonates of Cretaceous – Paleocene age. The field is a structural trap, as shown in Figures 20 and 21. A structure map of the field, authored by Chevron in 1993 (Figure 20), shows the field to have an effective inter-well spacing of approximately 1.6 kilometers (1mile), translating to approximately 256 ha/well (640 acres/well). Although Sproule has received a copy of the Chevron report and well logs on Delvina-12, the data is not adequate to permit an independent geological evaluation of the field at this time, as described later in this discussion.

The field came on production in 1987 and is reported to have produced approximately 2.5 Bcf of gas and 153,332 barrels of condensate. Currently, two wells are on production from the field, Delvina-4 and 12, and both individual well performance and aggregate field performance are shown in Figures 22, 23 and 24. The field produced at a calendar-day rate of 359 Mcfpd during the first eight months of 2007 and, in August 2007, it produced at 578 Mcfpd on an operating-day basis, with a condensate-gas ratio of 46 bbl/MMcf. Water production volumes have not been provided.

On November 7, 2007, the Company took over both of the producing wells. A group production forecast and the Albpetrol share of the production, pursuant to the PSA, are also shown on Figure 23. The production ‘wedge’ between the Albpetrol share and the forecast is expected to be captured by the Company.

The Company has been acquiring technical data on the fields and has provided Sproule with well logs and test data on the Delvina 12 well. At this time, we do not have sufficient data to conduct a geological evaluation of the field; however, our preliminary evaluation of that data is described in the following discussion.

Delvina-12 Petrophysics

Delvina 12 was drilled to a TD of 3700 meters MD. Well logs are available in paper form over the interval 3270-3615 m. The logs available are Laterolog (LL-7), Caliper, Gamma Ray, Sonic and SP.

The producing formation is limestone. The upper Cretaceous limestone top is at 3585 meters MD and the Paleocene limestone is at 3498 meters MD and the rest of the shallow log interval consists of Eocene limestone. The logs are merged in several sections and are of poor resolution. In general, the limestone is tight with occasional shale intervals. Overall matrix porosity varies between 1 percent and 5 percent and the logs indicate fractures at several places. The available log suite can only qualitatively indicate the presence of fractures and it is not possible to identify whether they are open or closed, or their orientation or length. Because the well test analysis does not indicate that this formation is naturally fractured, it is assumed that the fractures observed by log analysis are closed.

Computation of water saturation in such a low porosity reservoir will not be accurate. The tightness of the formation increases the resistivity and hence the resistivity may not indicate presence or absence of hydrocarbons. If resistivity measurements with several depths of investigation are available, the confidence in water saturation computation may increase. However, if we assume the resistivity of formation water to be 0.03 ohm- m (saline water) and the resistivity to be 100 ohm-m, the calculated water saturation would be 57 percent for a porosity of 3 percent.

The thickness of the upper Cretaceous limestone encountered in the well is 115 meters; however, logs are available for only the upper 30 meters of this interval. The average porosity over this interval is 4 percent, with low shale content and few fractures. The low SP deflection suggests a low permeability. The Paleocene limestone has a thickness of 87 meters, with an average porosity of 2.5 percent with very high resistivity. The interval is relatively clean and has a low fracture density. Hence, the net thickness would be around 40 meters. The Eocene limestone has a thickness of 236 meters with an average porosity of 3 percent. It has several good fracture intervals at the top of the logged interval (around 3280 meters). All the logs suggest that this is the best fractured zone and it could be contributing to some of the gas production.

In conclusion, the available log data can only be used only qualitatively – it is not useful for a reliable quantitative evaluation.

Delvina-12 Well Test

Chevron conducted a well test on Delvina-12, and their analysis of the pressure buildup is provided as Figure 25. The permeability was estimated at 0.23 mD and the skin was estimated at 33. The extrapolated reservoir pressure was 6,142 psia. The analysis indicated that matrix radial flow was the dominant flow regime (i.e. the buildup plot did not have the signature of a fractured reservoir). The reported skin value is high and we are not able to verify the results with the data provided.

Delvina-9 and Delvina-10 Core Analyses

Cores analyses from the Delvina-9 and 10 wells, which are currently abandoned, were provided in the Chevron report. These analyses indicate extremely low values for porosity (0.2 to 1.64 percent) and permeability (0.01 to 0.07 mD) as shown in Table 5.

Delvina Production and Pressure Profiles

A plot of individual well production and shut-in pressures for the Delvina-4 and 12 wells is included as Figure 24. Productivity of the Delvina-12 well was higher than that of the Delvina-4 well, although its shut-in pressures were lower. A pressure gradient exists between the two wells even though they are less than one mile apart, and this is likely due to the low permeability. Also, the scatter and trend in the data indicate that the pressures may not have been built up. The scatter may also be attributed to measurement error, as the pressures were measured with surface manometers and converted to downhole conditions. The pressure data does not allow for reliable material balance calculations to be performed.

Economic Analysis

An economic analysis was prepared to evaluate the Company’s interest in the baseline production and to determine the incremental production necessary to generate a return on the Company’s proposed capital budget.

This analysis was prepared using pricing and cost data supplied by the Company. All costs presented in this analysis are in year 2007 US dollars.

No reserves or value can be attributed to the Company’s interests in these fields until it can demonstrate that its share of the oil and gas production is technically recoverable and economic.

Pricing

The Company supplied an Oil Price Formula used by Bankers Petroleum to sell production in the nearby fields. The price, payable in US Dollars, is calculated as follows:

Price = (Brent Average/1.4) - $2.40

Where the final price payable is calculated after making the gravity adjustments as described below:

For delivered oil with an API gravity of approximately 10º degrees, the price will be reduced by $0.04 per 0.10 degree below 10º API. The price will be increased by $0.04 per 0.10 degree above 10º API.

No further research was made by Sproule into the current Albanian oil and gas sales market conditions.

Sproule’s Brent price forecast as of November 30, 2007 (Table 1) was used in the above formula.

The Company has also supplied a gas price of $350 per thousand cubic meters at standard conditions (which converts to $10/mscf). This price was kept constant for five years and then inflated at 2 percent per year in the economic runs. A gas sales contract confirming this price has not been provided.

Capital Costs

Preliminary cost estimates for each field have been supplied by the Company and are considered to be very approximate estimates as the actual development plans will not be determined until after the Evaluation Programs have been completed. These estimates reflect the Company’s current perception of a future full-scale project and differ from earlier assumptions described in the initial Evaluation Programs and well take over approvals.

In the Ballsh-Hekal oil field, seven existing wells are scheduled to be worked over and, in both the Gorisht-Kocul and Cakran-Mollaj oil fields, 26 existing wells are scheduled to be worked over. In the Delvina gas field, 12 new wells are scheduled to be drilled. The Company has forecast capital costs as follows:

Operating Costs

The Company has provided operating cost budgets for each field, which we have split into fixed and variable components using a ratio of 70 percent fixed and 30 percent variable. G&A costs were also supplied and included.

Operating Costs

The operating costs used for the Delvina gas field were $US 0.40 per Mscf variable, US$4,000 per well per month fixed and G&A costs of M$2,000/year/field.

Operating and capital costs were escalated using the inflation rates presented in Table 1.

Royalties

The Company pays a royalty to Albpetrol (from 2 percent to 6 percent of gross production based on a R factor), as follows:

R Factor Albpetrol Share 0.0 < R < 1.0 2.0 % 1.0 < R < 1.5 2.5 % 1.5 < R < 2.0 4.0 % R > 2.0 6.0 %

The R factor on which the royalty payments are based is calculated as follows:

R Factor = (Contractor Gross Revenue minus Taxes)/All Costs

Profit Sharing

The Company pays AlbPetrol one-fifth of the royalty percentage (0.4 to 1.2 percent) after full cost recovery has occurred.

Cost Recovery

For purposes of determining when cost recovery has occurred, 100 percent of revenue less royalty is considered to be Cost Recovery Petroleum. All costs are expensed for cost recovery purposes and unused balances are carried forward. Bonuses are not used in the cost recovery calculation.

Taxes

The Company is also subject to income tax at the rate of 50 percent. This tax is calculated on profits after full cost recovery has occurred.

Economic Results

Based on the current production rates, the pre-determined baseline volume and the pricing and operating costs supplied by the Company, the Company’s interest without incremental production is considered to be uneconomic.

The rates necessary to break even with the supplied operating costs were calculated as follows for the wells identified in the currently approved handover list:

Breakeven Rate

Number of Rate/Well Needed Field Current Rate/Well Wells Considered to Break Even Ballsh-Hekal 5 26 bopd 8 bopd Gorisht-Kocul 6 43 bopd 13 bopd Cakran-Mollaj 10 27 bopd 15 bopd Delvina 3 (1 new) 403 Mscfd 320 Mscfd

In addition, we have prepared economics using the capital budgets supplied by the Company necessary to fulfill their currently anticipated development plan in order to estimate the incremental production necessary to achieve a 15 percent rate of return after tax:

• For Ballsh-Hekal: A rate multiplier of 3 times is required, based on a current average field rate of 5 bopd per well declining at 4 percent per year. The number of new wells considered was seven.

• For Gorisht-Kocul: A rate multiplier of 3 times is required, based on a current average field rate of 6 bopd per well declining at 4 percent per year. The number of new wells considered was 26.

• For Cakran-Mollaj: A rate multiplier of 1.3 times is required, based on a current average field rate of 23 bopd per well declining at 7 percent per year. The number of new wells considered was 26.

• For Delvina: A rate multiplier of 1.3 times is required, based on a current average field rate of 289 mcfpd per well declining at 4 percent per year. The number of new wells considered was 12.

3785.70440.JLC.ml

J:\Stream 70440\Report\Summary.doc

Discussion — Page 16

Under the contract commitment, one additional well is required to be drilled in the Delvina field. Economic analysis indicates that this well, plus the two existing wells, need to increase the field rate by 3 times to achieve a 15 percent rate of return.

Sproule is unable to provide an opinion on the likelihood that such improvements will be realized because the necessary data is not available. In order to evaluate whether production optimization opportunities exist, we would need data such as pump type and capacity, producing and static fluid levels and bottom-hole pressures. Also, in order to evaluate whether re-drilling or re-completion opportunities exist, we would need data such as well logs, completion histories and core analyses. The Company intends to acquire such data during the Evaluation Period.

Evaluation Period Work Programs

Currently, no specific production optimization opportunities have been identified in any of the fields and the Company has designed Work Programs to address this issue. These Evaluation Period Work Programs were submitted on October 30, 2007 and do not require approval of either Albpetrol or the Advisory Committees established for each field. The programs are detailed in Appendix C. and summarized in the following discussion:

Oil Fields

Minimum Commitment:

Total Minimum Expenditure commitment for each of the oil fields over the 18-month initial evaluation period is:

• Cakran-Mollaj $1,000,000 • Gorisht-Kocul $700,000 • Ballsh-Hekal $600,000

The objectives during the evaluation period:

1. Understand existing well and reservoir performance to determine risked expected production profile and recoverable reserves for a full development scenario.

2. Structural and lithological investigations.

3785.70440.JLC.ml

J:\Stream 70440\Report\Summary.doc

Discussion — Page 17

3. Rehabilitation of wells. 4. Hydrodynamic investigation of productive wells.

5. Study reservoir performance using micro-seismic techniques.

6. Understand and optimize production and related operating costs.

7. Application of well stimulation and enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technologies. These technologies are designed to improve reservoir permeability and drainage for optimized production rates and hydrocarbon recoveries. The methods to be considered include acidizing and fracturing the reservoir, water and steam injection and gas injection for gas lift operations.

8. Upgrade of facilities including storage, separation, compression and pipeline infrastructure.

9. Control water production and water disposal strategies.

10. Maintain existing economic production and HSE to applicable international E&P standards over this evaluation period.

11. Determine locations of water disposal wells.

12. Take over the producing and non producing wells.

Delvina Gas Field

Minimum commitment:

Minimum expenditure commitment for Delvina field is $1,000,000 over the 24-month initial evaluation period. The commitment for Phase 1 (another 24 month) period is $1,500,000. And commitment for Phase 3 (36 month) period is $7,000,000.

The objectives during the evaluation period:

1. Understand existing well and reservoir performance to determine risk expected production profile and recoverable reserves for a full development scenario.

2. Structural and lithological investigations using passive seismic.

3785.70440.JLC.ml

3. Hydrodynamic investigation of productive wells and probable rehabilitation of wells. 4. Understand and optimize operating costs.

5. Upgrade of facilities including storage, separation, compression and pipeline infrastructure.

6. Study reservoir performance using micro-seismic techniques.

7. Maintain existing economic production and HSE to applicable international E&P standards over this evaluation period.

8. Initiate passive seismic acquisition.

9. Development plan for Delvina gas condensate field.

Sproule has reviewed the Evaluation Period Work Programs established by the Company and consider them to be a reasonable and prudent approach to the identification of production optimization opportunities within these fields.

At this time, the Company has taken over 21 wells from the oil fields and both wells from the gas field. Production revenue from these wells is allocated to the Company and the Company has advised us that a plan to take over the remainder of the oil fields during 2008 is in place.

Article 8 Annual Programs and Budgets

8.1 Unless otherwise provided herein, Contractor shall commence the conduct of Petroleum Operations for the wells described in Annex D clause 1 (iv) not later that sixty (60) days after Albpetrol advises Contractor that the Petroleum Agreement has been approved by the Council of Ministers. The procedure for transfer of assets, operations and responsibilities associated with such wells and related facilities shall be as described in Annex F.

8.2 Within sixty (60) days after the Effective Date the Parties shall submit to AKBN an Annual Program and Budget setting forth the Petroleum Operations which Contractor proposes to conduct (or has already commenced conducting) during the Evaluation Period. Subject to Article 6.3, such Annual Program and Budget shall be consistent with the Evaluation Program, but at Contractor's option, it may include a greater amount of activities and capital budget than the Evaluation Program. The approval of neither Albpetrol nor the Advisory Committee is required for any Annual Program and Budget during the Evaluation Period. Contractor may require the amendment of the Annual Program and Budget during the Evaluation Period so long as such revised Annual Program and Budget includes at least the activities and capital budget of the Evaluation Program. A copy of each revised Annual Program and Budget shall be given by Contractor to Albpetrol and AKBN.

8.3 At least ninety (90) days before the end of the first Fiscal Year after the approval of the Development Plan and every Fiscal Year thereafter, or such other times as agreed by the Parties, Contractor shall prepare and submit to the Advisory Committee for approval a proposed Annual Program and Budget for the next succeeding Fiscal Year. Each Annual Program and Budget shall be consistent with the Development Plan. Should the representatives of Albpetrol in the Advisory Committee wish to propose a revision as to certain specific features of the said Annual Program and Budget, it shall within twenty-one (21) days after receipt by the Advisory Committee thereof so notify Contractor, specifying in reasonable details its reasons therefore. Promptly thereafter, the Parties will meet and endeavour to agree on the revision proposed by representatives of Albpetrol. Contractor shall give due regard to the proposals of the representatives of Albpetrol, provided that Albpetrol shall be required to approve any Annual Program and Budget that is consistent with the Development Plan, and any revisions proposed to a Annual Program and Budget that are inconsistent with the Development Plan need not be accepted by Contractor. In the event of a dispute arising in respect of the approval of an Annual Program and Budget, the matter will be referred for Expert determination in accordance with Article 19.10. Prior to the resolution of any such dispute, Contractor's proposed Annual Program and Budget shall be deemed approved for the purposes of interim operations pending resolution.

8.4 The Parties agree to direct the Advisory Committee to approve the Annual Program and Budget in a timely fashion so as to allow the delivery of the proposed Annual Program and Budget to the AKBN within the time period established in the License Agreement.

8.5 It is recognised by the Parties that the details of an Annual Program may require changes in the light of existing circumstances and as such Contractor may make such changes provided they do not change the general objective of the Annual Program. Any revision to the Annual Program that involves an acceleration of the activities contemplated by the Development Plan, or that expand the activities contemplated by the Development Plan, shall be approved by the Advisory Committee. A copy of such revised Annual Program shall be provided to AKBN for approval in accordance with the License Agreement.

PA_SPG_BaHe - 19 -

8.6 It is recognised by the Parties that the expenditures in the Budget may require changes in light of existing circumstances and as such Contractor may make such changes provided that the general objective of the Annual Program has not changed. Any revision to the Budget that involves an acceleration of the activities contemplated by the Annual Program or Development Plan, or that expand the activities contemplated by the Annual Program or Development Plan, shall not require the approval of the Advisory Committee.

8.7 It is further recognised that in the event of emergency requiring immediate action, Contractor may take all actions it deems appropriate to protect its interests and those of its employees and any costs so incurred shall be included in the Petroleum Costs. An emergency condition will exist when life, health, or property are endangered by existing conditions or potential conditions such as blowouts, fires, explosions, collisions, severe weather conditions, acts of war, vandalism or sabotage.

Article 9 Albpetrol Share and Cost Recovery

9.1 Contractor shall provide all funds required to conduct Petroleum Operations under this Agreement. Contractor shall have the right to use free of charge Petroleum produced from the Project Area to the extent it considers necessary for Petroleum Operations under this Agreement.

9.2 Available Petroleum shall be measured at the Measurement Point and allocated as set forth in this Agreement. Available Petroleum shall be allocated between Albpetrol (the "Albpetrol Share") and Contractor ("Cost Recovery Petroleum") based on the R Factor as defined below, as set forth in the following table:

R Factor Albpetrol Share Cost Recovery Petroleum 0.0 < R < 1.0000 2% 98% 1.0000 ≤ R < 1.5000 2.5% 97.5% 1.5000 ≤ R < 2.0000 4% 96% 2.0000 ≤ R 6% 94%

The Albpetrol Share shall be lifted in oil and delivered in kind and/or cash to Albpetrol in the Contract Area.

The R Factor is calculated as follows:

AK RN = BK

where:

RN means the R Factor for Calendar Quarter N.

AK means the sum of Contractor's Revenues minus profit petroleum tax accrued in Calendar Quarter N and all preceding Calendar Quarters following the Effective Date.

BK means the sum of Petroleum Costs in Calendar Quarter N and all preceding Calendar Quarters following the Effective Date.

PA_SPG_BaHe - 20 -

Any re-adjustment in entitlement for the current Calendar Quarter will be spread over the remainder of the current Fiscal Year in a way that the Party which is entitled to additional Available Petroleum for the current Calendar Quarter will lift the readjustment quantity in equal monthly proportions in addition to its regular entitlements. If the production in any month is insufficient to supply the re-adjustment quantity, then the unsupplied entitlement shall be carried forward and spread equally over the remaining months of the current Calendar Quarter.

The determination of the R Factor shall first be done for the first Calendar Quarter following the Effective Date.

9.3 Contractor shall be entitled to the Cost Recovery Petroleum to recover all Petroleum Costs borne by it inside or related to the Project Area ("Cost Recovery"). Petroleum Costs shall be as described in Annex B.

To the extent that in a given Calendar Year the outstanding Petroleum Operations Costs recoverable exceed the value of Cost Recovery Petroleum for such Calendar year, the excess shall be carried forward for recovery in the next succeeding Calendar Year and in each succeeding Calendar Year thereafter until fully recovered.

9.4 After Contractor has recovered all of its Petroleum Costs from the Cost Recovery Petroleum, the remaining Cost Recovery Petroleum shall be "Profit Petroleum". The "Profit Petroleum" will be split between Albpetrol and Contractor as follows:

Albpetrol: 1/5 of the corresponding calculated Albetrol % share based on Calendar Quarter R, as described in 9.2 above

Contractor: 100% minus above profit share of Albpetrol

Article 10 Employment, Training and Bonuses

10.1 Contractor will select its management and employees according to its discretion, and shall determine the conditions of employment and the number of employees to be used for Petroleum Operations. However Contractor and its sub-contractors will, to the extent available, employ qualified Albanians to carry out the Petroleum Operations, giving priority to Albpetrol personnel, if their professional skills, knowledge and expertise fit with operational requirements. Otherwise, Contractor shall be free to employ such expatriate professionals as it deems necessary.

10.2 Contractor will spend a minimum of twenty thousand US Dollars (US$20,000) per each contractual year for Albpetrol employees in respect of the Annual Training Bonus (“ATB”) starting from the Effective Date.

10.3 Contractor shall within (30) thirty days after the Effective Date pay Albpetrol as a signature bonus the amount of fifty thousand US Dollars (US$50,000.00). The signature bonus shall not be cost recoverable.

TAKEOVER PROCEDURE

A. General Take Over Procedures

Promptly after the Effective Date, Albpetrol and Contractor shall undertake a transfer of operating responsibilities for the Project Area. This includes, without limitation, the transfer and delivery to Contractor by AKBN, Albpetrol and any of their Affiliates of the following assets, rights, documents and materials located in the Contract Area or at ______, and used or useful in connection with activities in the Project Area. The assets, rights, documents and materials will be substantially the same as those described in the License Agreement and this Agreement.

B. Well Take Over Procedures

1. Contractor Responsibilities

a. Contractor Notice:

i. Contractor will provide Albpetrol with a preliminary list of wells intended for take over for each Calendar Quarter, within thirty days of the start of that Calendar Quarter. This preliminary list may be revised after well file information and well and casing condition are verified.

ii. Two weeks notice will be provided prior to required take-over date.

iii. If Contractor elects to perform preliminary casing verification work utilising Albpetrol tractor rig and services, the take over is not official until Contractor has provided written notice of its acceptance of well conditions. For the purposes of calculating Deemed Production of a particular well, the effective date of the well take over will be retroactive to the date the preliminary casing verification work commenced.

iv. If Contractor elects to add additional wells not provided in the preliminary list for that Calendar Quarter, Albpetrol will not unreasonably withhold or delay such approval.

b. Well Data and Services for Wellbore Integrity

i. Contractor will make request for required information either with the notice delivered two weeks prior to the Calendar Quarter or at any other time.

ii. Contractor will submit program requirements for well casing verification to Albpetrol and the other requested services Albpetrol is required to provide. It is Contractor's intent to only take over wells which do not exhibit significant down hole casing or well bore integrity problems. Should a well be found to have such damage,

PA_SPG_CaMo - 2 -

Contractor will have Albpetrol re-run equipment as to the condition prior to servicing at Contractor's cost, and Contractor will have no further liabilities associated with such well. Only with final take-over of the well does Contractor take on liabilities for any well (provided that liability for conditions prior to take over remain with Albpetrol as per the Petroleum Agreement).

iii. Contractor may request Albpetrol to carry out tractor rig services to verify casing integrity and other wellbore cleanout work as required by Contractor's program. Contractor and Albpetrol will agree to a Service Agreement outlining conditions and costs for Albpetrol's services on terms similar to those available from arm's length third parties. A Request for Services (RFS) will be submitted by Contractor with the program should it require Albpetrol's services.

c. Lease Construction

i. Contractor will remove Albpetrol’s derrick and equipment to Albpetrol’s designated location within the Contract Area at Contractor's cost when the well is being taken over for production operations and not in situation where it is taken over only for suspension of Albpetrol’s operations within designated reservoir area or for monitoring purposes.

ii. Contractor will remove contamination to Albpetrol’s designated contaminated soil site at Contractor's cost. Environmental Damages for removed material remains with Albpetrol as being a pre-existing condition.

iii. Contractor may request Albpetrol to carry out removal of contaminated soils, removal of derrick and equipment and possibly construction of new lease. Such requests will be made through a Request For Services (“RFS”) and be carried out in accordance with an agreed Service Agreement.

iv. Contractor will reconstruct lease to its standards and as per Environmental permit and regulations.

d. Takeover Wells for Monitoring

i. Contractor may take over wells but not place on active production for reasons of monitoring reservoir conditions and for optimal reservoir recovery and spacing requirements.

ii. Liability for future operations on these wells will be limited to the wellbore and any fluids released from them. Contractor will not be required to remove Albpetrol’s equipment from these leases, nor remove any contamination. Should equipment be required by Albpetrol (except for down hole tubing which may be required to remain in the hole), Albpetrol is entitled to remove it at its cost and in its current

Pa_SPG_CaMo - 3 -

condition. Wellhead will remain secured and locked, and power to site de-activated.

iii. The only inventory recorded for transfer will be related to the wellhead and downhole.

iv. Contractor will have free access to this site.

e. Inventory

i. On prior day to official take-over Contractor representatives will meet at site to take an inventory of equipment to be taken over by Contractor.

ii. Inventory will be included in a take-over release form to be signed by both Albpetrol and Contractor representatives. This will include pre- existing liabilities for Albpetrol and assumption of lease by Contractor at these conditions.

iii. It should be noted that inventory taken over may not be available in the future due to operations consumption and deterioration, and Contractor is not liable in any way to return such.

f. Pre-Existing

i. Pre-Existing production will be calculated based on formula in the Petroleum Agreement and based upon production data supplied by Albpetrol. Contractor has the right to review in details such calculations and methods for past calculation. Once accepted by both Parties this production will be the basis for future pre-existing calculations.

2. Albpetrol Responsibilities

a. Handover Well Site

i. Albpetrol will provide well and site to Contractor within two weeks.

b. Well Data

i. Albpetrol will provide by the 15th day of each subsequent month production data (net oil, water, and producing hours) for all wells within the Contract Area that are Operated by Albpetrol.

ii. Albpetrol will provide well file information (either copy of original) within one week of request from Contractor, whether for a take-over well or otherwise.

c. Pre-Existing Conditions

i. Pre-existing conditions will remain the liability of Albpetrol. Contaminated materials removed from the site prior to the take-over

Pa_SPG_CaMo - 4 -

date will go to Albpetrol’s designated storage and remediation site and remain Albpetrol’s liability.

ii. As per the Petroleum Agreement, a Baseline Study will be performed on each well prior to take-over to identify pre-existing conditions. Albpetrol will cooperate with any such study. No further activities will occur on these sites once this has been completed and Contractor has taken over the well (whether for monitoring or for production).

iii. Any activities by Albpetrol on well sites taken over will result in immediate default by Albpetrol of previous and future pre-existing production obligations by Contractor, with all liabilities passed to Albpetrol, unless Contractor accepts Albpetrol's cessation of such activities and resumption of take over responsibilities.

d. Well Site Services & Lease Construction

i. It is Contractors intent to utilise Albpetrol’s tractor rig for casing integrity verification well services prior to accepting some leases. Albpetrol will offer if available a tractor rig unit for Contractor within notice period and as per agreed Service Agreement.

ii. For well bores only which are taken over (not wellsite) by Contractor, Albpetrol will provide free access to Contractor. Albpetrol will ensure wellsite power is deactivated. All surface equipment and lease conditions will remain Albpetrol’s responsibility. Any removal of surface equipment will be at Albpetrol’s discretion and cost.

e. Inventory & Release

i. On the day prior to official take-over Contractor representatives will meet at site to take an inventory of equipment to be taken over by Contractor.

ii. Inventory will be included in a take-over release form to be signed by both Albpetrol and Contractor representatives. This will include pre- existing liabilities (except environmental liabilities) for Albpetrol and assumption of lease by Contractor at these conditions.

iii. It should be noted that inventory taken over may not be available in the future due to normal wear and tear and consumption of consumable material, and Contractor is not liable in any way to return inventory in the condition in which it was delivered to Contractor.

8.2 Within sixty (60) days after the Effective Date the Parties shall submit to AKBN an Annual Program and Budget setting forth the Petroleum Operations which Contractor proposes to conduct (or has already commenced conducting) during the Evaluation Period. Subject to Article 6.3, such Annual Program and Budget shall be consistent with the Evaluation Program, but at Contractor's option, it may include a greater amount of activities and capital budget than the Evaluation Program. The approval of neither Albpetrol nor the Advisory Committee is required for any Annual Program and Budget during the Evaluation Period. Contractor may require the amendment of the Annual Program and Budget during the Evaluation Period so long as such revised Annual Program and Budget includes at least the activities and capital budget of the Evaluation Program. A copy of each revised Annual Program and Budget shall be given by Contractor to Albpetrol and AKBN.

8.3 At least ninety (90) days before the end of the first Fiscal Year after the approval of the Development Plan and every Fiscal Year thereafter, or such other times as agreed by the Parties, Contractor shall prepare and submit to the Advisory Committee for approval a proposed Annual Program and Budget for the next succeeding Fiscal Year.

Any revision to the Annual Program that involves an acceleration of the activities contemplated by the Development Plan, or that expand the activities contemplated by the Development Plan, shall be approved by the Advisory Committee. A copy of such revised Annual Program shall be provided to AKBN for approval in accordance with the License Agreement.

PA_SPG_CaMo - 19 -

8.6 It is recognised by the Parties that the expenditures in the Budget may require changes in light of existing circumstances and as such Contractor may make such changes provided that the general objective of the Annual Program has not changed. Any revision to the Budget that involves an acceleration of the activities contemplated by the Annual Program or Development Plan, or that expand the activities contemplated by the Annual Program or Development Plan, shall not require the approval of the Advisory Committee.

8.7 It is further recognised that in the event of emergency requiring immediate action, Contractor may take all actions it deems appropriate to protect its interests and those of its employees and any costs so incurred shall be included in the Petroleum Costs. An emergency condition will exist when life, health, or property are endangered by existing conditions or potential conditions such as blowouts, fires, explosions, collisions, severe weather conditions, acts of war, vandalism or sabotage.

Article 9 Albpetrol Share and Cost Recovery

9.1 Contractor shall provide all funds required to conduct Petroleum Operations under this Agreement. Contractor shall have the right to use free of charge Petroleum produced from the Project Area to the extent it considers necessary for Petroleum Operations under this Agreement.

9.2 Available Petroleum shall be measured at the Measurement Point and allocated as set forth in this Agreement. Available Petroleum shall be allocated between Albpetrol (the "Albpetrol Share") and Contractor ("Cost Recovery Petroleum") based on the R Factor as defined below, as set forth in the following table:

R Factor Albpetrol Share Cost Recovery Petroleum 0.0 < R < 1.0000 2% 98% 1.0000 ≤ R < 1.5000 2.5% 97.5% 1.5000 ≤ R < 2.0000 4% 96% 2.0000 ≤ R 6% 94%

The Albpetrol Share shall be lifted in oil and delivered in kind and/or cash to Albpetrol in the Contract Area.

The R Factor is calculated as follows:

AK RN = BK

where:

RN means the R Factor for Calendar Quarter N.

AK means the sum of Contractor's Revenues minus profit petroleum tax accrued in Calendar Quarter N and all preceding Calendar Quarters following the Effective Date.

BK means the sum of Petroleum Costs in Calendar Quarter N and all preceding Calendar Quarters following the Effective Date.

PA_SPG_CaMo - 20 -

Any re-adjustment in entitlement for the current Calendar Quarter will be spread over the remainder of the current Fiscal Year in a way that the Party which is entitled to additional Available Petroleum for the current Calendar Quarter will lift the readjustment quantity in equal monthly proportions in addition to its regular entitlements. If the production in any month is insufficient to supply the re-adjustment quantity, then the unsupplied entitlement shall be carried forward and spread equally over the remaining months of the current Calendar Quarter.

The determination of the R Factor shall first be done for the first Calendar Quarter following the Effective Date.

9.3 Contractor shall be entitled to the Cost Recovery Petroleum to recover all Petroleum Costs borne by it inside or related to the Project Area ("Cost Recovery"). Petroleum Costs shall be as described in Annex B.

To the extent that in a given Calendar Year the outstanding Petroleum Operations Costs recoverable exceed the value of Cost Recovery Petroleum for such Calendar year, the excess shall be carried forward for recovery in the next succeeding Calendar Year and in each succeeding Calendar Year thereafter until fully recovered.

9.4 After Contractor has recovered all of its Petroleum Costs from the Cost Recovery Petroleum, the remaining Cost Recovery Petroleum shall be "Profit Petroleum". The "Profit Petroleum" will be split between Albpetrol and Contractor as follows:

Albpetrol: 1/5 of the corresponding calculated Albetrol % share based on Calendar Quarter R, as described in 9.2 above

Contractor: 100% minus above profit share of Albpetrol

Article 10 Employment, Training and Bonuses

10.1 Contractor will select its management and employees according to its discretion, and shall determine the conditions of employment and the number of employees to be used for Petroleum Operations. However Contractor and its sub-contractors will, to the extent available, employ qualified Albanians to carry out the Petroleum Operations, giving priority to Albpetrol personnel, if their professional skills, knowledge and expertise fit with operational requirements. Otherwise, Contractor shall be free to employ such expatriate professionals as it deems necessary.

10.2 Contractor will spend a minimum of twenty thousand US Dollars (US$20,000) per each contractual year for Albpetrol employees in respect of the Annual Training Bonus (“ATB”) starting from the Effective Date.

10.3 Contractor shall within (30) thirty days after the Effective Date pay Albpetrol as a signature bonus the amount of one hundred thousand US Dollars (US$100,000.00). The signature bonus shall not be cost recoverable.

20.1 Contractor shall conduct Petroleum Operations in a safe and proper manner in accordance with generally accepted international petroleum industry practice and shall cause as little damage as reasonably practicable to the general environment, including, inter alia, the surface, air, lakes, rivers, sea, animal life, plant life, crops, other natural resources and property.

20.2 In the event of a blow-out, accident or other emergency, Contractor shall take all immediate steps to bring the emergency situation under control and protect against loss of life and loss of or damage to property and prevent harm to natural resources and the general environment.

20.3 In the event Albpetrol reasonably determines that any work or installations erected by Contractor (but not those works or installations which were in place prior to the Effective Date or are transferred to Contractor after the Effective Date) endanger or may endanger persons or third party property or cause pollution or harm the environment to an unacceptable degree, Albpetrol may require Contractor to take remedial measures within a reasonable period and to repair any damage to the environment.

In the event that Contractor fails to take the remedial measures required by Albpetrol within the time period established therefore, Albpetrol may carry out such remedial measures for Contractor's account.

Any remedial measures required to be undertaken by environmental authorities of the Government of Albania in respect of those works or installations in the Contract Area which were in place prior to the Effective Date or were transferred to Contractor after the Effective Date shall be for Albpetrol's account.

20.4 The parties acknowledge that the Existing Baseline Study identifies the status of the environmental condition of portions of the Contract Area during periods prior to and as at the Effective Date.

With each expansion of the Project Area or take over of a new well, as the case may be, Contractor shall submit for the approval from the Environmental Authority a Baseline Study on the environmental baseline status of the expanded portion of the Project Area or newly taken over well, as the case may be, as at the relevant date.

20.5 Contractor shall not be liable for any Environmental Damages incurred prior to the date of approval of the Baseline Study, as established by the Existing Baseline Study and each subsequent Baseline Study.

AKBN will immediately consider the estimation of the LICENSEE and will not unreasonably delay or withhold its approval. If, after ninety (90) days of receipt of the LICENSEE's estimate, AKBN has failed to forward comments to the LICENSEE in writing, the estimated Abandonment Costs proposed by the LICENSEE will be deemed to have been approved by AKBN.

22.3 Upon approval of the estimate by AKBN, the estimated Abandonment Costs will be included in Petroleum Costs and recovered in accordance with this Agreement and at the time provided in the estimate. However, amounts equal to the estimated Abandonment Costs will be deposited in an interest bearing escrow account in a mutually accepted international financial institution in London, England, or in such other location as AKBN and Contractor

PA_SPG_CaMo - 32 -

TAKEOVER PROCEDURE

A. General Take Over Procedures

Promptly after the Effective Date, Albpetrol and Contractor shall undertake a transfer of operating responsibilities for the Project Area. This includes, without limitation, the transfer and delivery to Contractor by AKBN, Albpetrol and any of their Affiliates of the following assets, rights, documents and materials located in the Contract Area or at ______, and used or useful in connection with activities in the Project Area. The assets, rights, documents and materials will be substantially the same as those described in the License Agreement and this Agreement.

B. Well Take Over Procedures

1. Contractor Responsibilities

a. Contractor Notice:

i. Contractor will provide Albpetrol with a preliminary list of wells intended for take over for each Calendar Quarter, within thirty days of the start of that Calendar Quarter. This preliminary list may be revised after well file information and well and casing condition are verified.

ii. Two weeks notice will be provided prior to required take-over date.

iii. If Contractor elects to perform preliminary casing verification work utilising Albpetrol tractor rig and services, the take over is not official until Contractor has provided written notice of its acceptance of well conditions. For the purposes of calculating Deemed Production of a particular well, the effective date of the well take over will be retroactive to the date the preliminary casing verification work commenced.

iv. If Contractor elects to add additional wells not provided in the preliminary list for that Calendar Quarter, Albpetrol will not unreasonably withhold or delay such approval.

b. Well Data and Services for Wellbore Integrity

i. Contractor will make request for required information either with the notice delivered two weeks prior to the Calendar Quarter or at any other time.

ii. Contractor will submit program requirements for well casing verification to Albpetrol and the other requested services Albpetrol is required to provide. It is Contractor's intent to only take over wells which do not exhibit significant down hole casing or well bore integrity problems. Should a well be found to have such damage,

PA_SPG_CaMo - 2 -

Contractor will have Albpetrol re-run equipment as to the condition prior to servicing at Contractor's cost, and Contractor will have no further liabilities associated with such well. Only with final take-over of the well does Contractor take on liabilities for any well (provided that liability for conditions prior to take over remain with Albpetrol as per the Petroleum Agreement).

iii. Contractor may request Albpetrol to carry out tractor rig services to verify casing integrity and other wellbore cleanout work as required by Contractor's program. Contractor and Albpetrol will agree to a Service Agreement outlining conditions and costs for Albpetrol's services on terms similar to those available from arm's length third parties. A Request for Services (RFS) will be submitted by Contractor with the program should it require Albpetrol's services.

c. Lease Construction

i. Contractor will remove Albpetrol’s derrick and equipment to Albpetrol’s designated location within the Contract Area at Contractor's cost when the well is being taken over for production operations and not in situation where it is taken over only for suspension of Albpetrol’s operations within designated reservoir area or for monitoring purposes.

ii. Contractor will remove contamination to Albpetrol’s designated contaminated soil site at Contractor's cost. Environmental Damages for removed material remains with Albpetrol as being a pre-existing condition.

iii. Contractor may request Albpetrol to carry out removal of contaminated soils, removal of derrick and equipment and possibly construction of new lease. Such requests will be made through a Request For Services (“RFS”) and be carried out in accordance with an agreed Service Agreement.

iv. Contractor will reconstruct lease to its standards and as per Environmental permit and regulations.

d. Takeover Wells for Monitoring

i. Contractor may take over wells but not place on active production for reasons of monitoring reservoir conditions and for optimal reservoir recovery and spacing requirements.

ii. Liability for future operations on these wells will be limited to the wellbore and any fluids released from them. Contractor will not be required to remove Albpetrol’s equipment from these leases, nor remove any contamination. Should equipment be required by Albpetrol (except for down hole tubing which may be required to remain in the hole), Albpetrol is entitled to remove it at its cost and in its current

Pa_SPG_CaMo - 3 -

condition. Wellhead will remain secured and locked, and power to site de-activated.

iii. The only inventory recorded for transfer will be related to the wellhead and downhole.

iv. Contractor will have free access to this site.

e. Inventory

i. On prior day to official take-over Contractor representatives will meet at site to take an inventory of equipment to be taken over by Contractor.

ii. Inventory will be included in a take-over release form to be signed by both Albpetrol and Contractor representatives. This will include pre- existing liabilities for Albpetrol and assumption of lease by Contractor at these conditions.

iii. It should be noted that inventory taken over may not be available in the future due to operations consumption and deterioration, and Contractor is not liable in any way to return such.

f. Pre-Existing

i. Pre-Existing production will be calculated based on formula in the Petroleum Agreement and based upon production data supplied by Albpetrol. Contractor has the right to review in details such calculations and methods for past calculation. Once accepted by both Parties this production will be the basis for future pre-existing calculations.

2. Albpetrol Responsibilities

a. Handover Well Site

i. Albpetrol will provide well and site to Contractor within two weeks.

b. Well Data

i. Albpetrol will provide by the 15th day of each subsequent month production data (net oil, water, and producing hours) for all wells within the Contract Area that are Operated by Albpetrol.

ii. Albpetrol will provide well file information (either copy of original) within one week of request from Contractor, whether for a take-over well or otherwise.

c. Pre-Existing Conditions

i. Pre-existing conditions will remain the liability of Albpetrol. Contaminated materials removed from the site prior to the take-over

Pa_SPG_CaMo - 4 -

date will go to Albpetrol’s designated storage and remediation site and remain Albpetrol’s liability.

ii. As per the Petroleum Agreement, a Baseline Study will be performed on each well prior to take-over to identify pre-existing conditions. Albpetrol will cooperate with any such study. No further activities will occur on these sites once this has been completed and Contractor has taken over the well (whether for monitoring or for production).

iii. Any activities by Albpetrol on well sites taken over will result in immediate default by Albpetrol of previous and future pre-existing production obligations by Contractor, with all liabilities passed to Albpetrol, unless Contractor accepts Albpetrol's cessation of such activities and resumption of take over responsibilities.

d. Well Site Services & Lease Construction

i. It is Contractors intent to utilise Albpetrol’s tractor rig for casing integrity verification well services prior to accepting some leases. Albpetrol will offer if available a tractor rig unit for Contractor within notice period and as per agreed Service Agreement.

ii. For well bores only which are taken over (not wellsite) by Contractor, Albpetrol will provide free access to Contractor. Albpetrol will ensure wellsite power is deactivated. All surface equipment and lease conditions will remain Albpetrol’s responsibility. Any removal of surface equipment will be at Albpetrol’s discretion and cost.

e. Inventory & Release

i. On the day prior to official take-over Contractor representatives will meet at site to take an inventory of equipment to be taken over by Contractor.

ii. Inventory will be included in a take-over release form to be signed by both Albpetrol and Contractor representatives. This will include pre- existing liabilities (except environmental liabilities) for Albpetrol and assumption of lease by Contractor at these conditions.

iii. It should be noted that inventory taken over may not be available in the future due to normal wear and tear and consumption of consumable material, and Contractor is not liable in any way to return inventory in the condition in which it was delivered to Contractor.

Article 8 Annual Programs and Budgets

8.1 Unless otherwise provided herein, Contractor shall commence the conduct of Petroleum Operations for the wells described in Annex D clause 1 (iv) not later that sixty (60) days after Albpetrol advises Contractor that the Petroleum Agreement has been approved by the Council of Ministers. The procedure for transfer of assets, operations and responsibilities associated with such wells and related facilities shall be as described in Annex F.

8.2 Within sixty (60) days after the Effective Date the Parties shall submit to AKBN an Annual Program and Budget setting forth the Petroleum Operations which Contractor proposes to conduct (or has already commenced conducting) during the Evaluation Period. Subject to Article 6.3, such Annual Program and Budget shall be consistent with the Evaluation Program, but at Contractor's option, it may include a greater amount of activities and capital budget than the Evaluation Program. The approval of neither Albpetrol nor the Advisory Committee is required for any Annual Program and Budget during the Evaluation Period. Contractor may require the amendment of the Annual Program and Budget during the Evaluation Period so long as such revised Annual Program and Budget includes at least the activities and capital budget of the Evaluation Program. A copy of each revised Annual Program and Budget shall be given by Contractor to Albpetrol and AKBN.

8.3 At least ninety (90) days before the end of the first Fiscal Year after the approval of the Development Plan and every Fiscal Year thereafter, or such other times as agreed by the Parties, Contractor shall prepare and submit to the Advisory Committee for approval a proposed Annual Program and Budget for the next succeeding Fiscal Year. Each Annual Program and Budget shall be consistent with the Development Plan. Should the representatives of Albpetrol in the Advisory Committee wish to propose a revision as to certain specific features of the said Annual Program and Budget, it shall within twenty-one (21) days after receipt by the Advisory Committee thereof so notify Contractor, specifying in reasonable details its reasons therefore. Promptly thereafter, the Parties will meet and endeavour to agree on the revision proposed by representatives of Albpetrol. Contractor shall give due regard to the proposals of the representatives of Albpetrol, provided that Albpetrol shall be required to approve any Annual Program and Budget that is consistent with the Development Plan, and any revisions proposed to a Annual Program and Budget that are inconsistent with the Development Plan need not be accepted by Contractor. In the event of a dispute arising in respect of the approval of an Annual Program and Budget, the matter will be referred for Expert determination in accordance with Article 19.10. Prior to the resolution of any such dispute, Contractor's proposed Annual Program and Budget shall be deemed approved for the purposes of interim operations pending resolution.

8.4 The Parties agree to direct the Advisory Committee to approve the Annual Program and Budget in a timely fashion so as to allow the delivery of the proposed Annual Program and Budget to the AKBN within the time period established in the License Agreement.

8.5 It is recognised by the Parties that the details of an Annual Program may require changes in the light of existing circumstances and as such Contractor may make such changes provided they do not change the general objective of the Annual Program. Any revision to the Annual Program that involves an acceleration of the activities contemplated by the Development Plan, or that expand the activities contemplated by the Development Plan, shall be approved by the Advisory Committee. A copy of such revised Annual Program shall be provided to AKBN for approval in accordance with the License Agreement.

PA_SPG_GoKo - 19 -

8.6 It is recognised by the Parties that the expenditures in the Budget may require changes in light of existing circumstances and as such Contractor may make such changes provided that the general objective of the Annual Program has not changed. Any revision to the Budget that involves an acceleration of the activities contemplated by the Annual Program or Development Plan, or that expand the activities contemplated by the Annual Program or Development Plan, shall not require the approval of the Advisory Committee.

8.7 It is further recognised that in the event of emergency requiring immediate action, Contractor may take all actions it deems appropriate to protect its interests and those of its employees and any costs so incurred shall be included in the Petroleum Costs. An emergency condition will exist when life, health, or property are endangered by existing conditions or potential conditions such as blowouts, fires, explosions, collisions, severe weather conditions, acts of war, vandalism or sabotage.

Article 9 Albpetrol Share and Cost Recovery

9.1 Contractor shall provide all funds required to conduct Petroleum Operations under this Agreement. Contractor shall have the right to use free of charge Petroleum produced from the Project Area to the extent it considers necessary for Petroleum Operations under this Agreement.

9.2 Available Petroleum shall be measured at the Measurement Point and allocated as set forth in this Agreement. Available Petroleum shall be allocated between Albpetrol (the "Albpetrol Share") and Contractor ("Cost Recovery Petroleum") based on the R Factor as defined below, as set forth in the following table:

R Factor Albpetrol Share Cost Recovery Petroleum 0.0 < R < 1.0000 2% 98% 1.0000 ≤ R < 1.5000 2.5% 97.5% 1.5000 ≤ R < 2.0000 4% 96% 2.0000 ≤ R 6% 94%

The Albpetrol Share shall be lifted in oil and delivered in kind and/or cash to Albpetrol in the Contract Area.

The R Factor is calculated as follows:

AK RN = BK

where:

RN means the R Factor for Calendar Quarter N.

AK means the sum of Contractor's Revenues minus profit petroleum tax accrued in Calendar Quarter N and all preceding Calendar Quarters following the Effective Date.

BK means the sum of Petroleum Costs in Calendar Quarter N and all preceding Calendar Quarters following the Effective Date.

PA_SPG_GoKo - 20 -

Any re-adjustment in entitlement for the current Calendar Quarter will be spread over the remainder of the current Fiscal Year in a way that the Party which is entitled to additional Available Petroleum for the current Calendar Quarter will lift the readjustment quantity in equal monthly proportions in addition to its regular entitlements. If the production in any month is insufficient to supply the re-adjustment quantity, then the unsupplied entitlement shall be carried forward and spread equally over the remaining months of the current Calendar Quarter.

The determination of the R Factor shall first be done for the first Calendar Quarter following the Effective Date.

9.3 Contractor shall be entitled to the Cost Recovery Petroleum to recover all Petroleum Costs borne by it inside or related to the Project Area ("Cost Recovery"). Petroleum Costs shall be as described in Annex B.

To the extent that in a given Calendar Year the outstanding Petroleum Operations Costs recoverable exceed the value of Cost Recovery Petroleum for such Calendar year, the excess shall be carried forward for recovery in the next succeeding Calendar Year and in each succeeding Calendar Year thereafter until fully recovered.

9.4 After Contractor has recovered all of its Petroleum Costs from the Cost Recovery Petroleum, the remaining Cost Recovery Petroleum shall be "Profit Petroleum". The "Profit Petroleum" will be split between Albpetrol and Contractor as follows:

Albpetrol: 1/5 of the corresponding calculated Albetrol % share based on Calendar Quarter R, as described in 9.2 above

Contractor: 100% minus above profit share of Albpetrol

Article 10 Employment, Training and Bonuses

10.1 Contractor will select its management and employees according to its discretion, and shall determine the conditions of employment and the number of employees to be used for Petroleum Operations. However Contractor and its sub-contractors will, to the extent available, employ qualified Albanians to carry out the Petroleum Operations, giving priority to Albpetrol personnel, if their professional skills, knowledge and expertise fit with operational requirements. Otherwise, Contractor shall be free to employ such expatriate professionals as it deems necessary.

10.2 Contractor will spend a minimum of twenty thousand US Dollars (US$20,000) per each contractual year for Albpetrol employees in respect of the Annual Training Bonus (“ATB”) starting from the Effective Date.

10.3 Contractor shall within (30) thirty days after the Effective Date pay Albpetrol as a signature bonus the amount of fifty thousand US Dollars (US$50,000.00). The signature bonus shall not be cost recoverable.

TAKEOVER PROCEDURE

A. General Take Over Procedures

Promptly after the Effective Date, Albpetrol and Contractor shall undertake a transfer of operating responsibilities for the Project Area. This includes, without limitation, the transfer and delivery to Contractor by AKBN, Albpetrol and any of their Affiliates of the following assets, rights, documents and materials located in the Contract Area or at ______, and used or useful in connection with activities in the Project Area. The assets, rights, documents and materials will be substantially the same as those described in the License Agreement and this Agreement.

B. Well Take Over Procedures

1. Contractor Responsibilities

a. Contractor Notice:

i. Contractor will provide Albpetrol with a preliminary list of wells intended for take over for each Calendar Quarter, within thirty days of the start of that Calendar Quarter. This preliminary list may be revised after well file information and well and casing condition are verified.

ii. Two weeks notice will be provided prior to required take-over date.

iii. If Contractor elects to perform preliminary casing verification work utilising Albpetrol tractor rig and services, the take over is not official until Contractor has provided written notice of its acceptance of well conditions. For the purposes of calculating Deemed Production of a particular well, the effective date of the well take over will be retroactive to the date the preliminary casing verification work commenced. .

iv. If Contractor elects to add additional wells not provided in the preliminary list for that Calendar Quarter, Albpetrol will not unreasonably withhold or delay such approval.

PA_SPG_CaMo - 2 -

Contractor will have Albpetrol re-run equipment as to the condition prior to servicing at Contractor's cost, and Contractor will have no further liabilities associated with such well. Only with final take-over of the well does Contractor take on liabilities for any well (provided that liability for conditions prior to take over remain with Albpetrol as per the Petroleum Agreement).

iii. Contractor may request Albpetrol to carry out tractor rig services to verify casing integrity and other wellbore cleanout work as required by Contractor's program. Contractor and Albpetrol will agree to a Service Agreement outlining conditions and costs for Albpetrol's services on terms similar to those available from arm's length third parties. A Request for Services (RFS) will be submitted by Contractor with the program should it require Albpetrol's services.

c. Lease Construction

i. Contractor will remove Albpetrol’s derrick and equipment to Albpetrol’s designated location within the Contract Area at Contractor's cost when the well is being taken over for production operations and not in situation where it is taken over only for suspension of Albpetrol’s operations within designated reservoir area or for monitoring purposes.

ii. Contractor will remove contamination to Albpetrol’s designated contaminated soil site at Contractor's cost. Environmental Damages for removed material remains with Albpetrol as being a pre-existing condition.

iii. Contractor may request Albpetrol to carry out removal of contaminated soils, removal of derrick and equipment and possibly construction of new lease. Such requests will be made through a Request For Services (“RFS”) and be carried out in accordance with an agreed Service Agreement.

iv. Contractor will reconstruct lease to its standards and as per Environmental permit and regulations.

d. Takeover Wells for Monitoring

i. Contractor may take over wells but not place on active production for reasons of monitoring reservoir conditions and for optimal reservoir recovery and spacing requirements.

ii. Liability for future operations on these wells will be limited to the wellbore and any fluids released from them. Contractor will not be required to remove Albpetrol’s equipment from these leases, nor remove any contamination. Should equipment be required by Albpetrol (except for down hole tubing which may be required to remain in the hole), Albpetrol is entitled to remove it at its cost and in its current

Pa_SPG_CaMo - 3 -

condition. Wellhead will remain secured and locked, and power to site de-activated.

iii. The only inventory recorded for transfer will be related to the wellhead and downhole.

iv. Contractor will have free access to this site.

e. Inventory

i. On prior day to official take-over Contractor representatives will meet at site to take an inventory of equipment to be taken over by Contractor.

ii. Inventory will be included in a take-over release form to be signed by both Albpetrol and Contractor representatives. This will include pre- existing liabilities for Albpetrol and assumption of lease by Contractor at these conditions.

iii. It should be noted that inventory taken over may not be available in the future due to operations consumption and deterioration, and Contractor is not liable in any way to return such.

f. Pre-Existing

i. Pre-Existing production will be calculated based on formula in the Petroleum Agreement and based upon production data supplied by Albpetrol. Contractor has the right to review in details such calculations and methods for past calculation. Once accepted by both Parties this production will be the basis for future pre-existing calculations.

2. Albpetrol Responsibilities

a. Handover Well Site

i. Albpetrol will provide well and site to Contractor within two weeks.

b. Well Data

i. Albpetrol will provide by the 15th day of each subsequent month production data (net oil, water, and producing hours) for all wells within the Contract Area that are Operated by Albpetrol.

ii. Albpetrol will provide well file information (either copy of original) within one week of request from Contractor, whether for a take-over well or otherwise.

c. Pre-Existing Conditions

i. Pre-existing conditions will remain the liability of Albpetrol. Contaminated materials removed from the site prior to the take-over

Pa_SPG_CaMo - 4 -

date will go to Albpetrol’s designated storage and remediation site and remain Albpetrol’s liability.

ii. As per the Petroleum Agreement, a Baseline Study will be performed on each well prior to take-over to identify pre-existing conditions. Albpetrol will cooperate with any such study. No further activities will occur on these sites once this has been completed and Contractor has taken over the well (whether for monitoring or for production).

iii. Any activities by Albpetrol on well sites taken over will result in immediate default by Albpetrol of previous and future pre-existing production obligations by Contractor, with all liabilities passed to Albpetrol, unless Contractor accepts Albpetrol's cessation of such activities and resumption of take over responsibilities.

d. Well Site Services & Lease Construction

i. It is Contractors intent to utilise Albpetrol’s tractor rig for casing integrity verification well services prior to accepting some leases. Albpetrol will offer if available a tractor rig unit for Contractor within notice period and as per agreed Service Agreement.

ii. For well bores only which are taken over (not wellsite) by Contractor, Albpetrol will provide free access to Contractor. Albpetrol will ensure wellsite power is deactivated. All surface equipment and lease conditions will remain Albpetrol’s responsibility. Any removal of surface equipment will be at Albpetrol’s discretion and cost.

e. Inventory & Release

i. On the day prior to official take-over Contractor representatives will meet at site to take an inventory of equipment to be taken over by Contractor.

ii. Inventory will be included in a take-over release form to be signed by both Albpetrol and Contractor representatives. This will include pre- existing liabilities (except environmental liabilities) for Albpetrol and assumption of lease by Contractor at these conditions.

iii. It should be noted that inventory taken over may not be available in the future due to normal wear and tear and consumption of consumable material, and Contractor is not liable in any way to return inventory in the condition in which it was delivered to Contractor.

Article 9 Albpetrol Share and Cost Recovery

9.1 Contractor shall provide all funds required to conduct Petroleum Operations under this Agreement. Contractor shall have the right to use free of charge Petroleum produced from the Project Area to the extent it considers necessary for Petroleum Operations under this Agreement.

9.2 Available Petroleum shall be measured at the Measurement Point and allocated as set forth in this Agreement. Available Petroleum shall be allocated between Albpetrol (the "Albpetrol Share") and Contractor ("Cost Recovery Petroleum") based on the R Factor as defined below, as set forth in the following table:

R Factor Albpetrol Share Cost Recovery Petroleum 0.0 ≤ R < 1.5000 3% 97%

PA_SPG_Delvina - 23 -

1.5000 ≤ R < 2.0000 4% 96% 2.0000 ≤ R 6% 94%

The Albpetrol Share shall be lifted in Petroleum and delivered in kind and/or cash to Albpetrol in the Contract Area.

The R Factor is calculated as follows:

AK RN = BK

where:

RN means the R Factor for Calendar Quarter N.

AK means the sum of Contractor's Revenues minus profit petroleum tax accrued in Calendar Quarter N and all preceding Calendar Quarters following the Effective Date.

BK means the sum of Petroleum Costs in Calendar Quarter N and all preceding Calendar Quarters following the Effective Date.

Any re-adjustment in entitlement for the current Calendar Quarter will be spread over the remainder of the current Fiscal Year in a way that the Party which is entitled to additional Available Petroleum for the current Calendar Quarter will lift the readjustment quantity in equal monthly proportions in addition to its regular entitlements. If the production in any month is insufficient to supply the re-adjustment quantity, then the unsupplied entitlement shall be carried forward and spread equally over the remaining months of the current Calendar Quarter.

The determination of the R Factor shall first be done for the first Calendar Quarter following the Effective Date.

9.3 Contractor shall be entitled to the Cost Recovery Petroleum to recover all Petroleum Costs borne by it inside or related to the Project Area ("Cost Recovery"). Petroleum Costs shall be as described in Annex B.

To the extent that in a given Calendar Year the outstanding Petroleum Operations Costs recoverable exceed the value of Cost Oil for such Calendar year, the excess shall be carried forward for recovery in the next succeeding Calendar Year and in each succeeding Calendar Year thereafter until fully recovered.

9.4 After Contractor has recovered all of its Petroleum Costs from the Cost Recovery Petroleum, the remaining Cost Recovery Petroleum shall be "Profit Petroleum". The "Profit Petroleum" will be split between Albpetrol and Contractor as follows:

Albpetrol: 1/5 of the corresponding calculated Albetrol % share based on Calendar Quarter R, as described in 9.2 above

Contractor: 100% minus above profit share of Albpetrol

In the event that Contractor fails to take the remedial measures required by Albpetrol within the time period established therefore, Albpetrol may carry out such remedial measures for Contractor's account.

Any remedial measures required to be undertaken by environmental authorities of the Government of Albania in respect of those works or installations in the Contract Area which were in place prior to the Effective Date or were transferred to Contractor after the Effective Date shall be for Albpetrol's account.

22.3 Upon approval of the estimate by AKBN, the estimated Abandonment Costs will be included in Petroleum Costs and recovered in accordance with this Agreement and at the time provided in the estimate. However, amounts equal to the estimated Abandonment Costs will be deposited in an interest bearing escrow account in a mutually accepted international financial institution in London, England, or in such other location as AKBN and Contractor may agree.

3. Terms and Conditions

Following a Commercial Discovery as per Article 6 herewith the following terms and conditions will apply in reference to Petroleum Production:

Available Production, Albpetrol Share and Cost Recovery

Available Production means the Produced and Saved Petroleum from the Discovery Area.

Available Petroleum shall be allocated between Albpetrol (the "Albpetrol Share") and Contractor ("Cost Recovery Petroleum") based on the R Factor as defined below, as set forth in the following table:

R Factor Albpetrol Share Cost Recovery Petroleum 0.0 ≤ R < 1.5000 5% 95% 1.5000 ≤ R < 2.0000 7% 93% 2.0000 ≤ R < 2.5000 10% 90% 2.5000 ≤ R 12.5% 87.5%

The Albpetrol Share shall be lifted in Petroleum and delivered in kind and/or cash to Albpetrol in the Discovery Area.

The R factor is calculated as per in the Evaluation Area.

Any re-adjustment in entitlement for the current Calendar Quarter will be spread over the remainder of the current Fiscal Year in a way that the Party which is entitled to additional Available Petroleum for the current Calendar Quarter will lift the readjustment quantity in equal monthly proportions in addition to its regular entitlements. If the production in any month is insufficient to supply the re-adjustment quantity, then the unsupplied entitlement shall be carried forward and spread equally over the remaining months of the current Calendar Quarter.

The determination of the R Factor shall first be done for the first Calendar Quarter following the Effective Date.

Contractor shall be entitled to the Cost Recovery Petroleum from the existing Production in Delvina Block or any future Production to recover all Petroleum Costs borne by it inside or related to the Discovery Area ("Cost Recovery"). Petroleum Costs shall be as described in Annex B.

PA_SPG_Delvina - 5 -

After Contractor has recovered all of its Petroleum Costs from the Cost Recovery Petroleum, the remaining Cost Recovery Petroleum shall be "Profit Petroleum". The "Profit Petroleum" will be split between Albpetrol and Contractor as follows:

Albpetrol: 1/5 of the corresponding calculated Albetrol % share based on Calendar Quarter R, as described above

Contractor: 100% minus above profit share of Albpetrol

Petroleum Operation Costs are defined as all expenses (including, but not limited to all capital expenditures, operating expenses, direct general and administrative expenses and head office allocated expenses) incurred in the year charged with an overhead rate as defined in the Petroleum Agreement.

All the cost for Exploration Phase I will be recovered from the production of the Evaluation Area.

The costs for Exploration Phase II will be recovered from the New Discovery, if there is any. In case of no Discovery the costs will not be recovered from the production of the Evaluation Area.

The parties agreed that this Annex D-2 for Exploration Program in Delvina Block is an integrated part of the Petroleum Agreement for the Development and Production of Petroleum In Delvina Block.

4. Operations After Discovery

1 Within fifteen (15) Days after a Date of Discovery is determined by CONTRACTOR, CONTRACTOR shall notify AKBN, in writing, of the Discovery and will provide AKBN with the results of the testing. Following a Discovery, CONTRACTOR may produce, transport and sell Petroleum on test, as permitted by AKBN. Such production shall be subject to Annex D-1 provisions.

2 Within sixty (60) days after the notice of Discovery under Paragraph 6.1, CONTRACTOR will notify AKBN in writing whether CONTRACTOR considers the Discovery to be worthy of Appraisal as a potential Commercial Discovery.

3 In case CONTRACTOR notifies AKBN under Paragraph 2 that it considers a Discovery to be worthy of Appraisal as a potential Commercial Discovery, CONTRACTOR shall promptly thereafter inform AKBN of its Appraisal plans for the concerned Discovery and will undertake, as part of its Exploration program, the Appraisal of the Discovery by performing such works that, in the CONTRACTOR's opinion, may be necessary to determine whether such Discovery is worthy of being Developed commercially, taking into consideration all relevant technical and economic factors.

PA_SPG_Delvina - 6 -

4 Within six (6) months after completion of the Appraisal, CONTRACTOR shall either:

4.1 Submit to AKBN a Development Plan for the purpose of declaring a Commercial Discovery; or

4.2 Notify AKBN that the Discovery could be commercial if other Discoveries are made and jointly Developed and exploited with it, or that CONTRACTOR proposes to do additional work in the Contract Area for that purpose; or

4.3 Notify AKBN that CONTRACTOR does not consider the Discovery to be potentially commercial.

5 In case of a notice by CONTRACTOR under Paragraph 4.2 above, CONTRACTOR shall present to Advisory Committee and submit in writing for AKBN approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld, a plan containing a description of the additional works that CONTRACTOR considers necessary and the estimated schedule for said works, in accordance with Good International Petroleum Industry Practices. CONTRACTOR shall undertake, as part of its Exploration program, the performance of said additional works in accordance with the plan and schedule submitted to AKBN.

6 In case of a notice by CONTRACTOR under Paragraph 4.3 above, AKBN shall have the right to Develop and exploit the Discovery for its sole benefit and at its sole cost and risk, and CONTRACTOR will have no rights in such Discovery and will relinquish, in accordance with Good International Petroleum Industry Practices, the Discovery Area; however, CONTRACTOR's rights in the remainder of the Contract Area shall not be affected thereby.

7 If it appears reasonable from reviews of technical data that a Discovery Area or a Development and Production Area could extend outside the Contract Area, the Parties shall meet to discuss cooperation among themselves and/or with any third party which may be involved in extending Exploration, Development or Production outside the Contract Area, but such discussions shall not interfere with CONTRACTOR continuing with the Appraisal, Development and Production of Petroleum from the portion of the Reservoir located in the Contract Area.

7.1 If it is proven by drilling outside the Contract Area that the Petroleum bearing strata in the Contract Area extends into another area or areas in respect of which another contract or license is in force or has been granted by AKBN, and recognized petroleum industry standards and practices necessitate that the entire field should be worked and developed as a unit, CONTRACTOR shall endeavor to co-operate with license holders in adjacent blocks in order to achieve the optimum technical and economical solution for the development of the entire field. If CONTRACTOR and the other license holders in the respective adjacent blocks cannot agree on a joint Development scheme or on the operatorship, or if AKBN considers that the proposed joint Development scheme is not in the national interest, AKBN may direct that all operations shall be conducted in accordance with a joint Development scheme.

PA_SPG_Delvina - 7 -

7.2 The joint Development scheme shall be agreed to between CONTRACTOR and the third party license holding granted by AKBN who shall jointly submit the scheme for approval of AKBN. Failing agreement on a unit Development scheme between CONTRACTOR and the third party, or failing approval of AKBN, the unit Development scheme shall be the scheme prepared by an Expert. If CONTRACTOR finds the scheme prepared by the Expert unacceptable, CONTRACTOR shall have the right to request modification thereof or relinquish the Discovery Area.

7.3 If the Petroleum bearing strata in the Contract Area, considered by CONTRACTOR as a single Discovery Area or Development and Production Area, extends into another area or areas over which the Albanian Government has the jurisdiction and in respect of which no contract or license is in force nor is subject to a grant of rights by AKBN, then AKBN and CONTRACTOR shall use their respective best efforts to negotiate an agreement to enlarge the Contract Area accordingly and to provide for the proper Appraisal and Development of the Discovery. Such agreement shall include provisions that this Contract shall apply to the enlarged area. CONTRACTOR shall be allowed to carry out such Appraisal in the area concerned, as may be required to delineate the area for enlargement. Before commencement of discussions on such agreement, CONTRACTOR shall be allowed to review any technical data relating to the area which is available to any agency of the Albanian Government.

7.4 In the event that the Petroleum-bearing strata referred to in Paragraph 6.14 extend into an area not forming part of the Contract Area and over which the Republic of Albania has no jurisdiction, the CONTRACTOR's Petroleum Operations shall be conducted in accordance with such of Albania's international obligations as may be applicable and AKBN shall undertake to negotiate with the competent agency of the foreign government having jurisdiction to agree upon a Unit Development Scheme, bearing in mind the interests of the CONTRACTOR. This Contract shall be amended to reflect the agreement reached between the two countries. If such amendment is unacceptable to CONTRACTOR, then CONTRACTOR shall have the right to request modification thereof or relinquish the Discovery Area in which the Petroleum-bearing strata are located.

PASSIVE SEISMIC METHODOLOGY

Passive Seismic Tomography is a new revolutionary geophysical exploration technique, which uses the natural seismicity (micro earthquakes) as seismic sources and a portable seismological network as receivers in order to perform a detailed 3-D seismic velocity and Poisson ratio model of the upper few Km of the crust. Recent advances in seismograph design, monitoring methodologies and inversion algorithms, have resulted in the application of passive seismic methods to the hydrocarbon industry as well.

This results can be used for: ¾ Improvement of structural and lithologic interpretation ¾ Better understanding of the geology in the area ¾ Use of model to reprocess and improve existing seismic ¾ Use of model to define upside potential and help design a better seismic line distribution. And lead to:

‰ Risk reduction

‰ Better well placement

‰ Better reserve estimate

‰ Aide in reservoir characterisation and optimisation

2. Production & Operations

2.1 Production Forecast, Revenues & Profit Tax

Initial production of close to 400 bopd from the entire Cakran-Mollaj filed, another 180 bopd from the Gorisht-Kocul and 50bopd from Ballsh-Hekal will be taken completely over from Albpetrol on or around November 1st, 2007. The existing wells taken over are all current producing. Well servicing and surface facility upgrades will resumed soon after upon well take over under a contract between Stream and Rompetrol. Production from the existing wells is expected to improve by the end of December.

Total production for the remaining of 2007 is estimated at 38 Mbbls. Gross revenue from production (before pre-existing production and sales transportation related costs) is expected at US$1.1 MM. A Sales Oil Agreement has been signed between Stream and the Albanian Refining & Marketing Organization (ARMO) and crude oil production will be delivered initially to the ARMO Refineries.

Upon take over of operations from Albpetrol, oil inventory in place within the taken over facilities will be measured in the presence of Stream and Albpetrol representatives.

For new wells taken over from Albpetrol, pre-existing production is estimated at 450 bbls per month average per well. Actual amounts will be calculated based on the 6 month average multiplied by 65% for Cakran-Mollaj and 70% on the other two fields and subsequently declined at 10% per annum (as per the Petroleum Agreement).

2.2 Operating & Production Costs

Total production operating costs during the period relate to:

Production & Facilities Well Work over servicing Facilities upgrade & Maintenance Treating costs Land lease Transportation Field Personnel & related costs Water disposal Office equipment Drivers + rental Security Energy

Personnel and related costs include the costs for the national employees for the direct operation of production activities and the required technical support. An expatriate General Manager is included to manage and oversee technical operations, production, and

Page 6 Stream Oil & Gas Ltd, Oilfields Project Albania WP&B

development planning. In the future, an expatriate Field Engineer might be required once re- activation activities commence to manage field personnel, operations, and well servicing activities. Energy estimated costs include fuels (for well prime movers and backup generators s and single wellsites), and electricity to supply the necessary energy to run the facilities and wells. Repairs and Maintenance includes all costs associated with upgrading and repair of surface facilities, maintenance of facilities, roads, and leases. It does not include well servicing and down-hole equipment. Treating costs include costs for chemicals only. Diluent and diluent’s transportation costs are not included in operating costs. These costs are associated with upgrading and transportation of the sales product and not with extraction and production of the crude oil, so are directly reduced from the gross revenue as a sales & marketing cost. Well Servicing costs include service rig charges. The budgeted costs are based on projected rates and are not final yet. Since well servicing is one of the most important elements to future operations; making significant changes at this stage will jeopardize production, planned development, and overall operations. Transportation costs include infield trucking of oil and water produced from a single wellsite for further treating. It does not include blended sales oil trucking from the sales tanks in the field to the delivery point. Trucking costs are estimates at this time. Security includes the costs for the security contract for the well/facility sites. The contract with Albforce has been concluded. Land Lease costs include the payable land lease amounts, if any, to surface landowners in Stream’s direct operational areas. HSE costs are mainly for national staff expenditures, together with an amount for medical and safety equipment. Housing, Utilities and Office costs cover the lease for the Offices and housing in Fier, which serves as the main office in Albania,as well as a small office and accommodation in Tirana and Delvina. Other expenses include electricity, potable water, office supplies, etc. Costs for the maintenance and repairs of Stream vehicles an amount is included. Communications and I.T. costs include all national/international phone calls and data transfer, maintenance costs for software including accounting software support, and costs for mail and courier services. Costs to cover business trips, apart from the expatriates rotation, are included. Legal, Insurances, and Tax costs cover expected costs for legal advice by Albanian lawyers, costs for required financial audits, annual re-registration of the company, and insurances (vehicle, public liability, construction equipment, etc.). Training costs are included to enhance the technical and professional skills of the national employees, with the objective of developing a competent workforce able to fill key positions within the organization and provide backup cover for expatriate management positions.

Well reactivation assumes a work over completion if the rig equipment will be ready in time and does not include any pumping equipment if needed.

Environmental and technical baseline costs are also budgeted to prepare the baseline study on initial take over of operations and set up of a system for take over of future wells.

Annual reserves evaluations are required and are part of the expenditure on the budget.

REMAINING WORK PROGRAM PERIOD

For the remaining of 2008 and Q1 of 2009 well take over will continue providing more shared production and in turn re-activation will be continued in order to achieve incremental production technically driven by EOR / IOR methods to are to be tested and defined in the Q1 and Q2 2008 periods.

Based on past experience on field rehabilitation from people within the group (Libya Mabruk field operated by TOTAL) makes our team favourably positioned to evaluate and determine the feasibility to re-establish optimum production and economic value from these fields. Well designed well simulation program and possible deviated drilling in these carbonate reservoirs can provide level of incremental production of at least 3 to 5 fold that can be considered economic, as presented to our financial predictions with average costs per well of the order of $300K to $400K.

Our general strategy is based on:

GORISHT-KOCUL & BALLSH – HEKAL FIELDS

‰ More than 400 wells have been drilled in theses fields. Nearly more than one-half of the wells are currently shut-in with no production. It is believed that production can be re- established in many of these through well “work-over” investments.

‰ The field’s fractured limestone reservoir has “sweet spots” where production rates from wells are highest. It is estimated that at least 50% of the wells located outside the “sweet spot” can be stimulated to increase their production rates.

‰ Gorisht-KoculField’s limestone reservoir has a gross pay interval of almost 5,000 feet, extending from a depth of 3,300 feet to 8,200 feet. Additional deviated drilling will likely be needed to develop the extensive pay interval of the reservoir and enable efficient hydrocarbon recovery.

‰ CAKRAN-MOLLAJ FIELD

‰ More than 90 production wells have been drilled in the Cakran Field, which produces light oil. Initial production rates from the fractured limestone of a few Cakran wells have been prolific at more than 2,000 BOPD. One of the wells experienced an uncontrolled blowout and fire that burned for three years during 1980 to 1983.

‰ The Cakran Field limestone reservoir has a 5,000-foot gross pay interval similar to Gorsiht, but deeper, extending from a depth of 9,850 feet to 14,800 feet. Like Gorisht,

Page 9 Stream Oil & Gas Ltd, Oilfields Project Albania WP&B

the Cakran Field is thought to have considerable upside potential for increasing production with additional development wells either deviated or horizontal.

Field production from all oilfields has declined significantly. Current estimates indicate all three fields to have considerable remaining reserves. More efficient recoveries can likely be achieved through well workovers, reactivation of shut-in wells, and enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods such as gas lift, reservoir “fracs” and injection of steam, water, and/or gas. Improvements in storage, separation and pipeline infrastructure could also facilitate higher production rates and optimized hydrocarbon recoveries.

4. DEVELOPMENTAL IMPACT

Hydrocarbon development and revitalization projects at the Oilfields will provide significant economic benefits and a positive impact in Albania as it continues the transition to an open- market economy. Increased production of oil, condensate and natural gas from these fields will provide an obvious increase in government revenues from royalties and taxes. The development and revitalization projects could create spin-off business opportunities including petrochemical and electric power generation ventures. Thermal power generation from fossil fuels is needed to offset the country’s near total dependence on hydroelectric power and mitigate its exposure to frequent drought related electricity shortages. Optimization of the Albanian energy sector through hydrocarbon revitalization programs and integrated thermal power projects will deter unemployment and inflation, encourage foreign investment and promote success for new business opportunities.

2. Production & Operations

2.1 Production Forecast, Revenues

Initial production of close to 15MNm3/day will be taken completely over from Albpetrol on or around November 1st, 2007. The existing two wells taken over are all currently producing and there are some non producing. Well servicing and surface facility upgrades will resumed soon after upon well take over under a contract between Stream and Rompetrol. Production from the existing wells is expected to increase by the end of December 2007.

Total production for the remaining of 2007 is estimated at 0.9MMNm3. Gross revenue from production (before pre-existing production and sales transportation related costs) is expected at US$0.441 MM. A Sales Gas Agreement has been signed between Stream and the Albanian Refining & Marketing Organization (ARMO) and gas production will be delivered initially to the ARMO Refineries.

Upon take over of operations from Albpetrol, inventory in place within the taken over facilities will be taken in the presence of Stream and Albpetrol representatives.

Pre-existing well production will be calculated based on the 6 month average multiplied by 70% and subsequently declined at 5% per annum (as per the Petroleum Agreement).

Page 7 Stream Oil & Gas Ltd, Delvina Project Albania WP&B

REMAINING WORK PROGRAM PERIOD

For the remaining of 2008 and 2009 the passive seismic and 2D seismic program will focus on providing upside potential information, update reserve estimations and drive development and exploration drilling. Well re-activation will be examined in order to achieve incremental production that needs to be clearly defined in the 2008 period.

As mentioned in our program for the oilfields past experience on field rehabilitation from people within the group (Libya Mabruk field operated by TOTAL) makes our team favourably positioned to evaluate and determine the feasibility to re-establish optimum production and economic value on the field. Well designed well simulation programs and possible deviated drilling in these carbonate reservoir can provide level of incremental production by least 3 to 5 fold that can be considered economic as presented to our financial predictions, with average costs per well of the order of $400K to $500K.

In general our strategy is based on:

‰ Delvina Field is the most recent commercial discovery (1987) in Albania. This gas / gas condensate field is delineated by only two wells, Delvina-4 and Delvina-12, and remains essentially undeveloped.

‰ Both of the Delvina wells are mechanically impaired and Albpetrol lacked the technology and funds required for remediation. The Delvina-12 is producing with a tube fallen in the production zone. The Delvina-4 well is producing with a mechanical flow restriction that limits its production rate to extremely low levels.

‰ The fractured carbonate reservoir at Delvina is a good candidate for the application of horizontal or deviated drilling technology. Horizontal wells typically achieve optimum production rates because their well bores can penetrate greater sections of the hydrocarbon reservoir.

‰ Delvina Field is considered a good candidate for an integrated energy project. Natural gas production from the field would be used to generate electric power. Presently Stream is discussing with candidates to construct such power plan for gas off take locally.

4. Development Impact

Hydrocarbon development and revitalization projects at the Delvina Gas Field will provide significant economic benefits and a positive impact in Albania as it continues the transition to an open-market economy. Increased production of condensate and natural gas will provide an obvious increase in government revenues from royalties and taxes. The development and revitalization projects could create spin-off business opportunities including petrochemical and electric power generation ventures. Thermal power generation from fossil fuels is needed to offset the country’s near total dependence on hydroelectric power and mitigate its exposure to frequent drought related electricity shortages.
