Contingent resources are recognised in the Might & Power, Dunoon and Comic fields in the Harpoono Complex.

Small volumes of possible reserves are recognised (in addition to the 2P reserves) in most producing reservoirs.  The 2P figure includes undeveloped 2P reserves of 0.4 million barrels are recognised in the Worrior field and will be addressed by three projects during Q2 2010: Worrior 7 development well and workovers on Worrior 1 and Worrior 2.

All other reservoirs are now considered fully developed, with some additional recovery indicated by slower decline from existing wells.

The Company’s share of contingent gas resources at Kiwi and Worrior is unchanged at an estimated 1.8 billion cubic feet on a Proven plus Probable (2C) basis, of which 1.4 billion cubic feet are Proven (1C) resources.
