 NDPR at NAPE
NDPR Ltd had its first outing at the 39th NAPE 2014 Annual International Conference and Exhibition (NAICE), under the general theme, The Future of Hydrocarbon Exploration: Drilling Deeper, Searching Wide. Thanks to meticulous planning, NDPR's booth and exhibition programme made a strong impression at the Conference. The booth was manned by NDEP Management and Staff, and visitors included students, senior NAPE delegates, industry CEOs and friends of the Company. Each day featured planned career talks, with Company participation through a (paper) presentation at the Pre-Conference Workshop.
With 2015 marking NDPR's 10th year anniversary since First Oil, we plan that our participation and exhibition booth will even be better in 2015.

Pruduction Update
With last year over, the impact of the 2014 drilling campaign has been significant. From January 1, 2014, to November 28, total cumulative production was 1,038 227 bbls, with an average daily production of 3244 bbls/d. Ogbele Well #9 was spudded on the 28th October, and at year end was still drilling. We are optimistic that the outcome of Well #9 will further improve oil production in 2015.
Since finalising the Farm Out Agreement for Omerelu Field, the process of formal transfer is in progress. Currently, the Field Development Plan is being revised, before a formal presentation to the DPR for approval. Wet and Dry Seasons sampling work, as part of the EIA, was completed before year end.

Gas Development update: Ogbele Field Throws up Another Surprise!
NDPR’s gas utilization scheme has gone from strength to strength. Since January 1 2014, to 28 November 2014, total culmulative gas production stood at 7.091 bscf, with an average daily production of 27.14mm scf/d. 2015 looks set to see an increase in gas production for the Company. In September, Well Ogbele #8 was successfully drilled to a total depth of 13,605 ft AH, with substantial additional proven gas reserves. The well logged a total of 387ft NGS (Net Gas Sands) in 7 reservoirs. For the first time, the well proved new hydrocarbon occurrences in two reservoirs (The D7.0 and E8.0) as well as finding substantial gas columns in a hitherto untested fault block.
From the results now available, Ogbele Marginal Field continues to emerge bigger than initially thought, with substantial gas reserves now booked into the proven category. Together with a fully operating Ogbele gas processing plant, the completion of Wells Ogbele #6 and #8, NDPR's Ogbele facilities are expected to operate to near installed capacity as both wells are brought simultaneously into production.
Acknowledging this milestone, Dr Fatona commented, ‘As NDPR Ltd becomes a modest gas player, I congratulate the Development, Drilling and Completions teams for this additional success.’

NDEP Holds 19th AGM
Thank you to all and everyone who attended the Company’s 2013 AGM. It was a lively day, with many questions and comments posed to the Board and Management of the Company. A full overview of the Company’s activities was given, including a detailed report presented by the Managing Director. While NDEP Plc could not declare a dividend for the 2013 financial year, improved performance since the start of the 2014 operating year, with an operating profit of NGN1.34 billion for the half year audited statements, meant that an interim dividend of N4.00/share was approved by the Board of Directors for the year 2014.
The appointments of the two new directors, Mr. Osten Olorunsola and Mr. Ede Osayande were approved by shareholders, while Chief Gbola Akinola, Engineer Alex Ogedegbe and Chief Victor Oyolu were each re-appointed as representatives of the shareholders on the Company Audit Committee, after receiving the highest number of votes from shareholders.

Capital Raising
In June 2014, the Capital Raising Investment Teaser was finalized and sent to potential Investors and brokers, both locally and internationally. By the middle of September 2014, the Independent Competent Person’s Report (CPR), on NDEP assets was also concluded and delivered to Management. This was a key component of the IM (Information Memorandum) and enabled the Joint Financial Advisers (JFAs) to deliver the IM before the end of September 2014.
The IM was presented by Management to the NDEP Board of Directors in October and approved for adoption and use. The JFAs have since circulated the IM to interested parties with subsequent further engagements and interactions with potential investors seeking to understand our business with a view to investing and being part of the ongoing capital raise.
The deadline for the submission of the Non Binding Offers (NBOs) from interested parties was extended to December 5, 2014. Management will be engaging potential investors soon, with the possibility of a roadshow in early 2015.
