SUMMARY OF IN PLACE HYDROCARBON VOLUMES Volumes of hydrocarbons initially in place in the Brockham field that have beenestimated by RPS are summarised in Table 1.

The Brockham field lies in Licence PL235. Angus Energy working interest inLicence PL235 is 80% Note: To date the well performance on the Brockham field has beendisappointing and suggests a low ultimate recovery (5-10%) from this in placevolume. Approximately 214,790 barrels of oil have been produced from the fieldas at end September 2013. Remaining reserves attributable to the field will beincluded in a CPR to be completed by RPS during March 2014.
