Delivering Growth through the Acquisition of Proven Reserves & Enhancement of Producing Assets

Trinidad • Goudron Field • Infrastructure • Drilling update • Production • Cedros Peninsula • Spain • Ayoluengo Field update • Pansoinco Partnership • Summary • Share Price Performance • Financing Topics Today Goudron Station 207 Ayoluengo Well 37
LGO’s Trinidad Assets • Goudron IPSC (100%) with 2P reserves of 7.2 mmbbls and over 60 mmbbls of contingent resources associated with a future water flood. Active production from 70 reactivated wells and growth from imminent 30 well infill drilling • Icacos Field in the Cedros Peninsula (50%, non-operator), producing ~35 bopd from three wells. Future opportunities for infill drilling • Over 7,500 acres of largely unexplored 100% owned private oil leases in the Cedros and adjacent rights held in partnership with Beach Oilfield Limited
Goudron Phase 1: Infrastructure • Located in the remote primary forests of the Trinity Hills close to a Wildlife Sanctuary • Limited work undertaking for 30 years • LGO has: • Doubled sales tank capacity • Refurbished previous tank facilities • Repaired bridges and roads • Installed an entirely new camp facility • Extended and restored electrical power • Constructed new water treatment facilities • Reactivated about 70 old wells Sales Tank Battery #34
Goudron Phase 1: Infrastructure • A newly commissioned • camp with: • offices • workshops • stores • hot-work area • crew rest area • accommodation • All key infrastructure is now in place for the upcoming 30 well drilling campaign • and • for oil production of over 2,000 bopd Goudron Camp David
Goudron Phase 1: Production • Phase 1 reactivations have now peaked • Some reactivations still ongoing with potential for further recompletions, gas lift and condensate production • Considering a long term stable economic rate of 275 – 325 bopd from the old wells • Focus on Phase 2 production which is budgeted conservatively at 65 bopd/well (IP) • Upside in new wells estimated +150% of budget (~160 bopd), downside is estimated at -25% (~45 bopd) Goudron Typical Well
Goudron Phase 1: Production – Typical Well Drilled in 1957, completed in 290 feet of Goudron Sand, produced 78,020 bbls over 15 years
Goudron Phase 2: Development Drilling • Production to date, using primary pumped wells, has achieved recovery of less than 4 million barrels • Significant parts of the field have not be swept, especially at Cruse level • Previous drilling techniques can be vastly improved • A program of 30 new development wells, infilling and extending the field, is now underway • Rig mobilisation started 16th April • STATUS: rig components and equipment transferred to the field and rig-up underway Rig 20 at Palo Seco
Goudron Phase 2: Well H18 EJ7 H18EJ7 • H18 EJ-7 is the first new well on Goudron for 33 years • Goudron Sands are productive in offset wells • Gros Morne is productive in nearest well • Lower Cruse sands are productive in some wells

Plans for the Cedros Installing new well tanks • In collaboration with Beach Oilfield re-evaluate all existing data and wells • Acquiring a soil geochemistry survey to isolate micro-seepage and areas of fractionated light oil • Fly a high resolution gravity and magnetics survey • Acquire additional 2D seismic data if necessary to define well locations • Drill at least one deep exploration well to test the potential at Herrera Sandstone level Galpha Point Mud Volcano
Unexplored deep prospectivity Installing new well tanks Oil impregnated Herrera Sandstone from ~10,000 feet sub sea, thrown up by the Galpha Point Mud Volcano
SPAIN Ayoluengo Field, Cantabrian National Park, Spain
Spanish Assets • Onshore Northern Spain • Cantabrian mountains between Burgos and Santander • Ayoluengo Oilfield • Discovered 1964 • Produced 18 mmbbls • Oil in place 104 mmbbls • Hontomin Oilfield • Discovered 1968 • Test production only • Oil in place < 4 mmbbls • Tozo Gas Field • Discovered 1965 • Test production only • Gas in place 5 bcf
Ayoluengo Potential • Future opportunities to enhance production through the side-tracking of existing wells to reach unswept oil • Major investment only justified once the Concession is extended • Concession extension process to commence in 2014 • Probable timeline to complete extension 18-24 months • Seismic, sedimentological and engineering studies now underway in parallel Ayoluengo Field
Wider Spanish Potential • Development of Hontomin as a low cost satellite to Ayoluengo using existing 3D seismic and re-entry of existing wells • Development of Tozo as either a micro-Compressed Natural Gas or Gas-to-Wire project • Deepen Ayoluengo to the proven Liassic reservoirs • Sub-lease the shale gas exploration potential in the Sedano trough? • Secondary or tertiary recovery? Cantabrian Massif at Sergentes
Proposed Pansoinco Partnership • Italian privately owned oil and gas maintenance and operations group • Create access to Pansoinco’s resources to enhance production at no cost to LGO for 3 years • LGO’s predicted 3-year cashflow is advanced to the date of transaction • Incentivises Pansoinco to invest in production growth and seek a concession extension to 2027 Well work over Ayoluengo
How it works… LGO receives estimated 3-year discounted cashflow Revenue interest reverts to 65:35% Pansoinco makes a return Pansoinco invests
Why it works… • At the end of the 3-year period: • Pansoinco have made a worthwhile return on their investment (IRR > 30%) • Ownership of revenue reverts to 65:35% • LGO’s 35% revenue is greater than the 100% of base revenue that would have resulted • In the interim LGO has had use of $2.8 million to deploy in Trinidad

Conclusions • Phase 1 production at Goudron from legacy wells now planned to stabilise at a long-term rate of roughly 275-325 bopd • Phase 2 development drilling underway in next few days; forecast to take total production to 2,000 bopd within 18 months • Once some of the new wells have been drilled LGO will develop a Phase 3 water flood development plan and issue a new CPR • Exciting medium term opportunity in the Cedros peninsula • Relationship with Pansoinco could provide a short-term cash boost and a long-term value driven partnership in Spain • Debt funding based on established cash-flow and underlying reserves at Goudron is still actively being sought • New production-based opportunities in Trinidad are being reviewed
