Summary
BPC 2013/14 Review & 2015 Outlook – September 2014 Overview A clear strategy: create shareholder and stakeholder value through an exclusive
focus on the Company’s oil & gas exploration assets in the Bahamas, which are
potentially a world-class, multi-billion barrel resource.
A singular objective: commence drilling an off-shore exploration well as soon as
possible, compliant with licence and regulations, with third party sharing risk and
reward.
Quality assets:
•  5 offshore licenses (one in north; four co-joined in
south). Applications on-trend
•  Total acreage > 4 million acres, 16,000 km²
•  Proximate to US markets, infrastructure, contractors
& suppliers
•  Strong technical prospect in known petroleum
producing province
•  Commensurate fiscal terms & regulatory regime

• 
Evidence of vertical anomalies (1314); seafloor pock marks and
gas chimneys.
• 
Wide distribution of the anomalies suggest actively migration HC
throughout the region.
• 
VA’s concentrated between the Albian and MCU, most prominently
on the Cenomanian back reef. Note lack of VA´s above the late
Albian to MCU thick peligic shale indicates effectively seals
underlying stratigraphy.
• 
VA’s not associated with structural crests of B or C
• 
VA´s are rare at or below the Aptian due to the presence of
effective seals at this level.
