Global Petroleum Ltd 31 October 2007 31 October 2007 Global Petroleum Limited - September 2007 Quarterly Report Kenya (Global 20%) The L5 and L7 Joint Venture comprises: Woodside Energy (Kenya) Pty Ltd 30% (and operator) Dana Petroleum (E&P) Ltd 30% Repsol Exploracion S.A. 20% Global Petroleum 20% The costs associated with Global's 20% in L5 and L7 are carried for all activities through the drilling of the first well in each of these areas. The Joint Venture is in ongoing discussions with regard to the forward programme for blocks 5 & 7 offshore Kenya. The Joint Venture has until 11 July 2008 to drill the 1st well in L-7 before deciding whether to proceed to the 2nd additional exploration period and commit to a 2nd well in this licence. Malta Exploration Study Agreement Area 3 - Blocks 4 & 5 (Global 80%) Global advises that RWE Dea AG ('RWE'), as operator, have completed a microbial/ geochemical survey on sea bottom samples using the Italian research vessel 'Universitatis' based in Messina, Sicily. The samples are currently being analysed and results are due by the end of the year. RWE, which has farmed into Global's interest in the Exploration Study Agreement covering Blocks 4 & 5, has the right to earn up to a total 70% interest if the parties enter into a PSC with the Malta Government and RWE commits to the drilling of a well following the completion of the seismic programme phase. Should a well be drilled, Global's 30% share (including 3% on behalf of a UK marketing agency that assisted Global in the farm-in process) of the costs of such a well would be fully carried by RWE. Page -2- Falkland Oil and Gas Limited ('FOGL') In its release of interim results on 24 September 2007, FOGL advised it had completed the controlled source electromagnetic survey and that results received to date had been encouraging. The results of the survey, as well as the 2D seismic infill survey in which a total of 9,950 kilometers of new seismic data had been acquired from Wavefield InSeis AS, would be available later in the year. Post 30 September 2007, FOGL announced it had entered into a farm-out agreement with a subsidiary of BHP Billiton over FOGL's 2002 and 2004 licences to the South and East of the Falkland Islands. Under the agreement, BHP Billiton will acquire a 40% interest, with an option to increase its interest up to 65%, and will take over the operatorship of the licences. A minimum of two exploration wells will be drilled in the next 3 years and BHP Billiton pays FOGL US$10 million in reimbursement of certain historical costs. The Board continues to review opportunities for other acquisitions, joint ventures, or investments in the resources sector, both domestic and overseas, which may enhance shareholder value.
