PetroMaroc operational update; Summary and Conclusions
The Kechoula drilling campaign has discovered a significant natural gas
opportunity in the lower Liassic formation.
The Lower Liassic formation has the geological characteristics of a hybrid
(conventional and unconventional) natural gas reservoir.
North America is on the leading edge of using both conventional and
unconventional technologies to economically extract hydrocarbons from
similar looking reservoirs.
PetroMaroc has access to the experience and expertise required to extract
hydrocarbons from such reservoirs at very economic rates.
Development of this asset into a producing gas field will benefit not only our
shareholders but also introduce the Moroccan hydrocarbon sector to some of
the innovative technologies currently being used in North America.

highest potential value
Testing program elements both wells in Q4 2014
Procure and deploy rig and completion equipment to complete prospective zones
Conduct drill-stem or production tests to determine flow, volume, pressure,
recovery, rock properties etc.
Evaluate test results and determine reserves potential and potential

Join PetroMaroc in its promising pursuit of unlocking Moroccos promise
May 16 (Reuters) - Moroccan authorities said on Friday gas drilling by Longreach
(PetroMaroc) had found encouraging signs in the Kamar-1 well, located at Sidi
Moktar, near the city of Essaouira.

The announcement by the Office of Hydrocarbons
and Mining (ONHYM) [that the Kamar well] was the
most positive result so far since Morocco started to award dozen of permits to
foreign oil companies in the past few years to develop its energy resources.

"The drilling has encountered signs of gas in two levels inside a Jurassic formation,"
ONHYM said in a statement carried by the state news agency MAP.
