I will now turn the call over to Eric Hambly, our President and Chief Executive Officer. Good morning and welcome to the second session of our webinar series. Today, we will provide an in-depth overview of our business in Vietnam. I'm excited to discuss our plans there as we anticipate that Vietnam will play an increasingly important role in our portfolio. Before we begin, here's a quick overview of where we are in our webinar series. Our first webinar last week covered Murphy's strategic approach to exploration and how it delivers real value when combined with our strong development expertise. Hopefully, you walked away from that webinar with a better understanding of our unique value proposition and distinct position within the industry. Looking ahead, in the final webinar on March 24th, we will cover the history and fundamentals of production sharing contracts, review their structure, and build an example PSC model together. Today, we will start by exploring what makes Vietnam compelling from both an energy and economic standpoint, highlighting its rapid economic growth and rising long-term energy needs. Next, we will examine the Cuu Long Basin and its long-standing role at the heart of Vietnam's oil production. We will then review Murphy's assets in the Cuu Long Basin, discussing our blocks, discoveries to date, and how these discoveries will contribute to a strong, lasting business presence. Finally, we will present Murphy's strategy and future plans in Vietnam, demonstrating how our expertise, favorable geology, solid economics, and cooperative partnerships position us to create enduring value in the country. To kick off today's webinar, we want to start with the story of how Murphy entered Vietnam, and that story begins in Sarawak, Malaysia. Murphy originally acquired two blocks in Sarawak that had previously been held by a super major. Early on, we discovered and quickly developed the West Patricia oil field. The cash flow from West Patricia became the engine that funded further exploration, including our Kikeh discovery. From there, our team delivered a series of discoveries. We first found the gas field shown in red on this map. Later, our exploration team asked a simple question: Could the prior operator's small gas discoveries, which had been drilled near the crest of the structures, actually be gas caps of underlying oil reservoirs? That hypothesis proved correct. We drilled, we found oil, and we went on to discover several oil fields shown in green here. This became a showcase of Murphy's technical creativity and disciplined execution, taking what was assessed as a marginal set of assets by a peer and unlocking meaningful additional value. As we were making successful hydrocarbon discoveries in Malaysia, Petrovietnam, the national oil company of Vietnam, took notice. They recognized our success and ability to deliver on both exploration and development and invited us directly to explore in the Cuu Long Basin. That invitation is just one example of Murphy's strong international reputation, which has opened the doors for us across the globe. It's the reason Murphy entered Vietnam in 2012, and ultimately the reason we're able to pursue the material opportunity set we'll be talking about today. The key takeaway here is that our position in Vietnam wasn't luck, it was earned. It was the result of strong execution, value delivery, and the reputation built through our success in Malaysia. Later in the presentation today, you'll hear more about how our success in Malaysia is analogous to what we plan to achieve in Vietnam. I'll now pass the conversation to Chris Olson. Thanks, Eric. Before we delve into our business in Vietnam, I want to frame why Vietnam represents a compelling international growth opportunity for Murphy. Today, Vietnam is one of the fastest-growing economies globally, with sustained GDP growth of 5%-7% per year and a stated goal to become a high-income nation by 2045. That growth trajectory is translating directly into rising energy demand, while domestic supply, as you can see in the chart on the bottom right, has been steadily declining for more than a decade. Our strategy here is to help bridge the supply gap through production from the Cuu Long Basin, a basin that contains a proven petroleum system and delivers more than 80% of Vietnam's total oil output. The basin benefits from extensive established infrastructure and a low-cost operating environment which supports attractive project economics. Taken together, Vietnam, and specifically the Cuu Long Basin, offers Murphy scale, running room, and advantaged blocks that remain underdeveloped relative to the basin's proven potential. Now, let's take a closer look at Vietnam's energy landscape and why it's structurally attractive for Murphy. First, Vietnam is a growing economy, and there's strong recognition by the government that foreign participation is critical to meeting Vietnam's long-term energy goals. Second, Vietnam's economy relies heavily on fossil fuels for power generation, with more than half the country's electricity coming from fossil fuels. As we mentioned previously, and as you can see on the chart to the right, domestic oil production has been declining for more than a decade while consumption has increased. Today, Vietnam has become increasingly reliant on oil imports, already importing over 200,000 bbl of oil per day. Despite this decline in production, as a country, Vietnam has meaningful remaining potential, with approximately 6 billion bbl of crude reserves and around 38 trillion cu ft of proven gas reserves. Unlocking these resources, however, requires new investment, and that's where Murphy's operating model fits exceptionally well with Vietnam. The takeaway here is pretty simple. Vietnam is a growing economy with rising energy needs, declining domestic production, and an appetite for foreign energy investment to help fill the gap. Murphy offers Vietnam a productive partnership to explore for and develop new hydrocarbon resources to support their economic goals. With the market fundamentals clearly pointing to a runway of opportunity, it's natural to question Vietnam's investment climate and whether Vietnam is a stable and reliable place to invest. Vietnam has implemented major business and investment reforms over the past several years, which have been highly effective in drawing global capital. Today, foreign investment accounts for more than half of the country's GDP, and the country is especially supportive of investments in the energy sector. We are seeing and realizing the value of this support firsthand. Several key factors consistently draw investor interest. First, a stable political system with a governing structure that has been in place for more than 50 years. Second, a strong economy with sustained economic growth. Third, a skilled workforce and competitive labor costs. Finally, an expanding network of trade agreements and legal reforms that enhance transparency and market access. Vietnam's economic growth ranks among the top 10% globally, and foreign direct investment has trended up over the last 20+ years. Additionally, over the last several years, Vietnam has entered into trade agreements and strategic partnerships that improve Vietnam's global integration. Altogether, these factors build a strong foundation of fiscal stability and investment security, and for Murphy, these characteristics serve as the cornerstone for confident long-term investment. Now, let's talk about fiscal terms, because this is an area where people often make assumptions and are influenced by perception and not reality. When investors hear that Vietnam's government take is around 70%, the immediate reaction is often, "Man, that sounds high." Fiscal regimes don't exist in a vacuum. They're fundamentally a risk-reward relationship that can balance and enhance Murphy's portfolio. Government take is designed to balance risk. Lower government take typically applies to higher-risk environments like deepwater, frontier, and unproven basins. Higher government take typically indicates lower risk, like proven and mature basins, shallow water, or areas with extensive data and existing infrastructure. Vietnam fits squarely in that second category. The Cuu Long Basin is a mature, proven, prolific oil-prone basin with decades of production history. The government take here isn't a penalty, but rather a reflection of the fact that investors are operating in one of the lowest-risk oily basins in Southeast Asia. Looking at the chart to the right, Vietnam's terms are well within the range of global comparables for different fiscal regimes, including PSCs and tax royalty structures. In other words, Vietnam is neither unusually punitive nor unusually generous and is appropriately calibrated for the risk profile of the basin. What drives real value in Vietnam is the quality of the rock and the quality of the projects that we're developing. A proven basin with a high chance of success, stacked pay zones, fast cycle times, and existing infrastructure creates economics that outperform lower government take basins with poorer subsurface characteristics. Rather than focusing solely on the top-line government take number, the right question to ask is, "What is the risk-adjusted return?" In Vietnam, that combination is attractive. We plan to dive deeper into this during the next webinar in our series. As discussed during the first webinar, for Murphy, everything starts with the big picture, and regional work informs our access strategies. When most people think about hydrocarbon occurrence and phase in Southeast Asia, they think about natural gas. The Cuu Long Basin, however, contains one of the most prolific oil-prone source rocks in Southeast Asia, having yielded approximately 5 billion bbl of oil-equivalent reserves from 57 discovered fields. The basin is strongly liquids-weighted, with roughly 75% of recoverable volumes being oil and liquids, which is a key differentiator relative to the gas-dominated basins in the region. Thinking regionally, this was key as Murphy contemplated access over a decade ago. Geologically, Murphy's acreage is optimally positioned. Blocks 15-1/05 and 15-2/17 sit within the core of this oil-prone source basin, where hydrocarbon source rocks are heated and transformed from organic material into oil. With that, their proximity to these mature source rocks facilitates hydrocarbon migration and the efficient filling of large structures. The basin is incredibly rich, and nearly every porous and permeable layer from the pre-Cretaceous basement through the Miocene sees oil accumulations or oil shows. With a runway of exploration opportunities that remain to be tested, this materially reduces comparative exploration risk in our exploration portfolio. I will now turn it over to Franc to talk more in depth about our Vietnam business. Thank you, Chris. We enter the Cuu Long Basin by acquiring working interest in the 15-1/05, and later entering the 15-2/17 block. At the time, there were two discoveries, Lac Da Nau or Brown Camel, and Lac Da Vang or Golden Camel, which serve as springboards for future ideas and scale. Our first operating discovery was the Lac Da Trang or White Camel in 2019, which led to the development of the Hai Su Vang or Golden Sea Lion prospect. In 2023, we structured our activity around a hub and spoke model that maximizes capital efficiency and shortened cycle time, similar to what we achieved in our Sarawak business. What we mean by hub and spoke is that we have an anchor field that will serve as a hub in that it can support the investment to install processing and export infrastructure. Future smaller discoveries can be tied back for lower capital. First, we sanction the Golden Camel development with a three-year timeline to first oil. Second, we approved the 2024 exploration campaign to drill the Golden Sea Lion hub class prospect and the Pink Camel tieback prospect. The thought at the time was for the Golden Sea Lion prospect to become the anchor for the 15-2/17 block, while the Pink Camel prospect will be a tieback to the Golden Camel hub, providing optionality to maximize available facility capacity. Combined, this program set the basis to build a material oil-weighted growth platform with disciplined capital deployment and clear line of sight to production and cash flow growth. Fast-forward to today, our exploration and appraisal record in our Cuu Long Basin blocks has a 100% success rate. The Golden Sea Lion has line of sight to be one of the largest discoveries in Southeast Asia, and our Golden Camel development is on track for first oil by fourth quarter this year. Over the next few slides, we'll give you a deeper look into the opportunity set in both our Cuu Long Basin blocks, as combined, this will result in a material business for Murphy in Vietnam in the 2030s. Starting with the 15-1/05 block, the Golden Camel is a hub class development of Eocene age sandstones with 100 million bbl of gross recoverable resource that is a phased development plan designed to efficiently bring volumes online. We expect peak production in the range of 10,000 bbl-15,000 bbl of oil per day, equivalent net to Murphy. On the map of the right, you can see the Golden Camel or Lac Da Vang field positioned alongside the Pink Camel, Brown Camel, White Camel, and other key prospects within both the 15-1/05 and 15-2/17 blocks. In the future, Golden Camel will serve as a primary infrastructure hub to produce from these neighboring fields, lowering the economic threshold for these prospects and improved capital efficiencies. The Golden Camel is also Murphy's first development in Vietnam, where we are seeing strong execution from our project team. We remain on track to hit our milestones with the launch of our floating storage and offloading facility in the first quarter, topsides installation in third quarter, and first oil in fourth quarter of this year. The ability to have a hub class development with multiple low-cost tiebacks is a clear advantage of the Cuu Long Basin that we identify and are proud now to be part of this ecosystem. The basin has a strong supply chain that is aligned with our focus on safety, environmental protection, and fast-tracking time to first oil. The chart on the left shows gross unrisked resource potential across the broader area, highlighting how the Golden Camel integrates into a multi-asset, multi-phase plan. When you look at the stacked reservoirs in the proximity of these fields, the strategic value of an anchor becomes clear. The infrastructure we put in place for the Golden Camel will ultimately enable lower cost, faster cycle tiebacks from surrounding discoveries that target different play types. The important takeaway here is that the Golden Camel isn't the only project in this block. It's the foundation of Murphy's long-term Vietnam business. It proves the business model, confirms a strong supply chain in the basin, reduces future capital intensity of prospects, and it sets up a scalable development pathway across the block. For the last two years, we have received the best gift you can give an oil finder, a sample of clean oil. Our Golden Sea Lion discovery hits on a theme we highlighted in the first webinar. We find potential where others miss. Prospectivity on these blocks was identified for several decades, including a tenure of operatorship by a super major. By leveraging learnings from the previous discovery in our position, we came up with a unique concept of a play that has not been largely tested in the Cuu Long Basin. We continue to be impressed with the quality of resource and materiality of the Golden Sea Lion discovery. Oligocene age sands with a projected gross recovery range of 170 million bbl-430 million bbl of oil equivalent with thick reservoir sections and large oil columns that are hard to come by, especially in shallow water. True to our approach, we move fast to appraise with the goal of increasing the understanding of the field and start testing different development concepts. Today, we have many options to develop the Hai Su Vang. Next major milestones are sanctioning the project by year-end 2027, with the goal of first oil in 2031. To get there, we have started to evaluate several concepts. I would like to provide a bookend of potential development concepts. One is leveraging a design similar to our Golden Camel. It's a project that we're executing well, understand the cost, and what it takes to deliver. The other is a FPSO redeployment. Each will have trade-offs when it comes to schedule, CapEx, and execution risk. What you can expect is for us to tap into our proven track record of offshore development to accelerate the Golden Sea Lion to first oil. Lastly, once the Golden Sea Lion is online, it will be our second hub and platform for future oil growth. Similar to our Golden Camel, we have the opportunity to unlock exploration upside once our infrastructure is in place. At Murphy, we're excited to play a key role with our partners in Vietnam to help the country achieve its ambitions. Our Cuu Long Basin business is set up for success with our two hubs, Golden Camel and Golden Sea Lion. We have executed this formula once before, picked up blocks that were discarded by a super major, established a hub led by a discovery resource, created a lot of value for our shareholders and host nation. We are laser-focused on replicating this model again in Vietnam to build an oil-weighted business that can produce 30,000 bbl-50,000 bbl of oil equivalent per day underpinned by successful exploration and our offshore development capabilities, positioning Murphy to be the preferred partner in the Cuu Long Basin. With that, I'll hand it over to Eric for closing slides. In closing, Vietnam's growing economy offers a compelling investment opportunity. The need for energy is clear. The economic and political climates are favorable, and the country is welcoming foreign investment like ours to meet their energy demand. Murphy has already established a tangible foundation in country through our Lac Da Vang, Golden Camel development and the Hai Su Vang, Golden Sea Lion discovery. These projects provide a clear line of sight to building a material, long-term business in Vietnam. Vietnam gives us the opportunity to replicate the success we achieved in Malaysia. With attractive fiscal terms, strong local partnerships, and our proven offshore expertise, we are on the path to turn this basin into Murphy's next engine of long-term shareholder value creation. As mentioned previously, our next webinar will focus on production sharing contracts or PSCs. We will start with an overview of PSCs, their purpose, their history, and how they differ from other fiscal regimes such as the tax and royalty structure in the United States. Next, we will walk through the typical fiscal structure of a PSC, including how production and revenue flow between the contractor and the host government. Finally, probably the most exciting for this group will be a step-by-step walkthrough of an illustrative PSC cash flow model. We hope this will help clarify how entitlement production is calculated, how cost recovery works, and how profit oil is allocated across different phases of a project. Thank you again for joining us today. We look forward to seeing you for our final session on March 24th. We will now take your questions. At this time, I will open the call for the question-and-answer session. In order to ask a question, please press star then the number one on your telephone keypad. We'll pause for just a moment to compile the Q&A roster. Your first question comes from Carlos Escalante with Wolfe Research. Your line is open. Carlos, perhaps your line is on mute. Okay. We will move to Leo Mariani with Roth Capital Partners. Your line is open. Hey, guys. Wanted to focus on this chart on Page 13, which kind of shows the oil production potential for Golden Camel. I was hoping just to try to get a little bit more color on that. I guess I see you have this kind of darker blue wedge of development, and I guess that really represents you know the first field you know sort of coming online, but correct me if I'm wrong. Wanted to kind of get a sense of you know a rough timeline in terms of how you get from initial production, which I guess will be in the fourth quarter to kind of peak production. When do we sort of expect that? You've got this overlay of discovered upside, and presumably that's the fields around it, so Pink Camel and White Camel eventually being tied in. Just wanted to get a better understanding of what that chart represents here. Leo, thanks for your question. What I'll do is do a little bit of framing, and then I may have Franc come in with a little more detail. I think the way that you interpret it is how we intended to communicate it. The dark blue development is the Lac Da Vang field, which as we've communicated previously, is a phased development. The initial production will come from Lac Da Vang A platform, and in 2028, we'll install a Lac Da Vang B platform and drill half the wells from each of the platforms. What will happen over the course of the development at Lac Da Vang is that we will continue to add wells in a phased manner out through 2029. Then when we finish drilling those wells, we expect that it'll begin to decline. What we're trying to show here on the plot is that the potential for the block is much more than just the Lac Da Vang or Golden Camel field, but the discovered upside are those other fields that we have already drilled and identified hydrocarbons. In many cases, they may need some additional appraisal before we move them into a development funnel, but we have a pretty decent idea about the relative size of the resource. From what we've found so far, they're really tie-back scale opportunities, smaller than Lac Da Vang, but significantly large enough to continue to add to the resource from the block, which is what we're showing here. The last wedge on top is, in the lightest color, the exploration potential, and that is targeting the prospects that we highlight with sort of light blue shaded polygons in the Block 15-1/05. To be clear, on Slide 13, we're talking just about the Block 15-1/05, and then on the following slide, we talk about the Block 15-2 potential. My last comment I'll make, and I'll let Franc add any color, is that the success rate we've had so far in drilling in the Cuu Long is 100%. I don't imagine that we will get through all of our exploration program here at 100%, but it is a pretty strong track record, and it gives us some confidence that there's a very good chance we're gonna keep finding oil in these prospects and allow us to continue to maximize the facilities we're developing for Lac Da Vang in a very capital-efficient way. Franc, if you wanna add any color, you're more than welcome to. Thanks, Eric. Yeah, Leo, I think one thing that we highlighted in our prepared remarks is our hub-and-spoke model and the benefits of that. What we've seen from what we've run our internal economics is the minimum economic field size to make these tiebacks work is roughly 8 million bbl-10 million bbl. It's a very low threshold, and we think these prospects here, the prospectivity around Lac Da Vang is above that, each prospect ranging between 20-30 million barrels that we will test, appraise, and test. That's what gives us. Now that we have the infrastructure in place for the Golden Camel, we now can start exploring and opening up testing concepts similar to what we're seeing in the Golden Sea Lion in order to maximize facility utilization of the investment that we made with the Golden Camel field. Thanks, Franc. Just the last comment from me. We're showing here a production profile that is not intended to be overly quantitative. It's really trying to be sort of relative scale of what we found versus what may be found in a sort of cartoon way. I wouldn't try to put this exact production profile in a model. It gives you a sense for a relative scale of what may be developed across the block. Okay. That was super helpful, very thorough there. Wanna jump over to Hai Su Vang at this point. I think you guys are doing two more appraisal wells, you know, here this year. Can you talk a little about the, you know, the timing of those? Has one of those spud yet? Are those more second half wells? And then I guess maybe just talk about more what you hope to accomplish. You have the range of 170 MMBOE-430 MMBOE, which you already have. I think you've already indicated you're kind of at the higher end of the range at this point. Maybe just talk about what the goals on those two wells would be. Presumably, that can expand that range, you know, above that. Maybe just provide some more color on that would be great. Thanks, Leo. We are in the middle of our appraisal campaign. As you noted, we announced the results from the 2X well, which gave us a significant view of the resource that puts it toward the higher end of the initial communicated range. We still have a lot to learn about the field. The 3X and 4X wells that we're working on now will help us assess the resource more comprehensively. The 3X well is drilling in the northeast extension of the field in 15-1/05 block, and the 4X well will be drilled in the southwest part of the field. When we're done, we'll have four penetrations in the reservoirs, and it'll cover the bulk of the structure. That information is important for us. As we cover the bulk of the structure, we'll be able to update in a kind of comprehensive way what the resource range is for the reservoirs that we encounter. The 3X and 4X campaign is underway. I anticipate that we'll have results from those wells and an updated resource range somewhere around the middle of this year. Maybe by the time we come up with all the new assessment of resource range, it might be in the August timeframe. That's what we have. We expect to do going forward. Okay. That was super helpful, Eric. Supposedly, if these wells are very successful, then this 430 MMBOE number should move up over time if those wells are really solid, right? I would not necessarily characterize that the resource range moves above. I think what we should do is get through our program and fully assess the field and what do we learn from every penetration in the reservoir. The aerial extent of what we've identified the oil down to so far is the size of Manhattan, and we have two small holes in the ground. There's a lot of information to be learned about the field. I feel good about what we've communicated historically here, is that our midpoint is probably toward the higher end of our initial range. It's possible that we could see resource that goes significantly above the 430 MMBOE initial high point, which is what we communicated with our press release in January. I would hesitate to speculate on a number at this point. I think what we need to do is finish our appraisal campaign and have a really comprehensive updated view of the resource range. You won't see us in the next month or two speculating. We wanna get through our program and then come up with a new range that we think is probably tighter than this, and we'll be happy to kinda move forward on the development plan with that basis. Okay. Thank you. Very helpful. Thanks, Leo. Your next question comes from Arun Jayaram with JPMorgan. Your line is open. Yeah. Good morning, Eric and team. My first question is on the LDV field. Eric, you've highlighted 100 million bbl equivalent of gross resource potential. I was wondering maybe if you could help us understand what is the gross CapEx number for that development and kind of today, and from a reserve booking standpoint, what is Murphy booked in terms of its you know, reserve report from a proven reserve basis? Thanks, Arun. I'll hit on the reserve booking, and then I'll have Franc talk about the CapEx. We made an initial proved reserve booking net to Murphy of about 13 million bbl, and we did that after we sanctioned the project in 2023. It's been on the books for a little while now. What'll happen over time with proved bookings in these type of offshore fields, you start out, we get a little production performance, and then over time you add to the proved reserve. The initial booking is a pretty conservative number. I wouldn't take 13 million bbl compared to a 100 million bbl total potential and say that reflects what we think our net ultimate potential is. It's really a fairly conservative initial booking. On the project spending, I'll let Franc give some details around that. Yeah. Yeah, Arun. On project spending, total project CapEx out there since we sanctioned, it's around $390 million net CapEx to us. This year we're projected to spend around $100 million. Through 2027 to 2029, the average will go down to about $50 million, which will be mostly spent on the second wellhead platform and the other half of the wells to get drilling to be done with drilling all the way till 2029. Arun, we're 40% working interest, so if you want a gross number, you could take the number that Franc said and net that up at 40%. About $950 million. Got it. about $10 a barrel. $9-$10 a barrel. Okay. Just to clarify a couple of numbers, the 13 million bbl of reserve booking, is that on a net basis? It is. Okay, great. Then the $50 million of CapEx that Franc talked about, is that per annum or total between 2027 and 2029? Per annum. On average. Per annum. Okay, got it. That's helpful. Just maybe a follow-up, Eric. We know that one of your partners in Vietnam is marketing, I believe a 25% interest in the block. Do you have a ROFR on your position in Vietnam, and how would you and the board evaluate potentially increasing your interest in what looks to be a really exciting growth opportunity for the company? We do have a ROFR, and if we believe that our partner that is potentially transacting a sale has negotiated terms that we think are competitive for us, then we will exercise our ROFR, most likely, because we do see the potential here. It's significant. I will highlight that we don't know for sure if a transaction will happen. They have an active data room. They have been a little bit unclear about exactly what they may sell. We have heard that they are maybe selling only their interest in 15-2 and not 15-1/05, but I think they're marketing both, and they're open to offers. We'll see what happens. Obviously we have a track record of not overpaying for things, so it'll be interesting to see if they do reach a deal with a potential purchaser, what the valuation will be and if it looks attractive to us to move in. We do like the opportunity here. I would love to have more of it at the right price. We think the potential on the blocks is significant, which is what we're trying to highlight in our presentation today. Great. I'll turn it back. Thank you. Thanks, Arun. Your next question comes from Charles Meade with Johnson Rice. Your line is open. Yes. Good morning, Eric, to you and your team there. I'd like to ask a question on Slide eight, and it's really if you could help paint a little bit more the picture for us for Vietnam as a host government. You know, I think the term Communist Party is a little off-putting, but it seems like it maybe is more of a label than a kind of a substantive description. You've laid out a good case here where you know, the country is opening up to and making deals with Western countries, Western business interests. Can you give us a sense of what the history specific to the offshore has been? Has there ever been an expropriation or a kind of a post-facto change of PSC terms or anything that maybe was a historical concern, which you think is no longer a concern now? That's a really good question. The environment for foreign investment in Vietnam is extremely stable. There is no history of any PSC terms changing or a block being expropriated. The Oil business in Vietnam initially was established without foreign participation, with the exception of the Soviet Union, post-war, and they developed their own capability, and a very healthy, mature service sector. The investment in Oil business there has just been tremendous and extremely stable, for you know, 50 years. We're really happy to invest there. I guess to some people, the Communist Party term could be off-putting, but that's what they are, and that's what they call themselves. They are a very pro-foreign investment, communist government. It's a very stable government. It's effectively a one-party for 50 years. We're happy to be doing business there. We're very happy with the ability to invest with confidence and have no concerns. Have there ever been a period where we've been concerned that the governmental instability or the risk of something being taken from us? They're welcoming, they're extremely encouraging for us to invest. They're supportive. Last year, I met with the senior leader of the Communist Party, Mr. To Lam, and he said all the things I just told you. He said that they're supportive, and they want us to invest, and they're there to help our project move along in a timely manner and hope that we continue to discover more hydrocarbons. Right. Okay, great. My second question on Slide 11, when I look at your, I'm looking at the different horizons you've, you know, discovered oil in. In the HSB, the rightmost one there, it suggests to me that your first two wells, you've only tested through the, I guess the middle Oligocene, and you haven't tested yet the lower Oligocene or the Eocene. I'm curious, are the 3X and 4X designed to test those deeper horizons? And also it looks like maybe you go down to the Oligocene, but you're not going all the way to the pre-Cenozoic like you have in the Brown Camel. Why not go that deep? Maybe just to kind of I know there's a couple of questions in there, but just are you appraising those lower Oligocene and Eocene in the 3X and 4X? It looks like you are. Why not go deeper? Maybe there's a larger discussion there about a deeper setting here versus the Brown Camel find. Yeah. Nicely spotted there. The 3X well that we're currently on is specifically designed to test the four reservoirs that you see there, including the deeper potential than the oil discoveries we've announced in two reservoirs so far. It is specifically designed to test for deeper potential. One of those reservoirs is the reservoir that is being developed and will soon produce at Lac Da Vang field. The basement here or the pre-Cenozoic is not viewed by us at this time as being particularly prospective in the HSV location. Chris, maybe if you want to add any color around why. You know, as we, you know, look at these different dots indicating, you know, productive reservoirs in the basin, obviously you're increasing with depth. At the location where we're drilling at Hai Su Vang, the Golden Sea Lion, basement is very deep and would take a very long time to drill to, and the image quality is not very good on the block. There's a lot of uncertainty with the prospectivity of the traditionally productive basement interval in Vietnam in the Cuu Long Basin. What we've been finding so far, if we encounter reservoir sands that are of high quality, they've been filled with oil. We're trying to identify all the potential of the reservoir sands that have the potential to be commercially developed. Got it. Thanks for the detail. Thanks. Your next question comes from Paul Cheng with Scotiabank. Your line is open. Hey, guys. Good morning. Hello Can you give us a comparison from a CapEx standpoint on Golden Sea Lion versus the Golden Camel? I mean, Golden Camel is a number of years ago you start. The last several years, inflation has been high, so everything have equal. That may lead to a higher unit cost, but then you have much better economies of scale. When you put everything together, how should we look at it? I know you're still a little bit early, but if you can give us some pointer. Also that, other than, say, inflation and the economies of scale, will the site or the structure itself will also lead to a lower unit cost development or higher unit cost development? That's the first question. Paul, thanks for that. As we talked about earlier today, the development cost of Lac Da Vang or Golden Camel is around $9-$10 a barrel. For Hai Su Vang, we highlighted that we have not yet selected a development concept, but with the different ranges of potential development concepts there, I would anticipate the development CapEx to be in the $5-$10 a barrel range. In general, I think there are things with Hai Su Vang that suggest it could be more capital efficient than Loc Duong. The reservoir production rates that we have seen, I should say, from our drill stem tests in our first two wells are very high and suggest you may need less wells for the same resource in Hai Su Vang compared to Lac Da Vang. That would suggest potentially less spending on wells. I will say, though, it is a very large structure, and it'll need multiple drilling centers. That's something we have to figure out is the exact extent of the reservoir to be developed. How many drill centers do we need in order to reach all the targets to drill the development wells? It's a bit early to say, but I would say that it would not be unreasonable to expect a unit development cost to be slightly better than Lac Da Vang. We'll update that when we know, probably about a year from now. Oh, that's great. Can you remind us when the exploration period will expire? The expiration period is still got a long way to go, and we're not concerned about that being an issue for us. We have lots of years left, and we can find that date. I don't recall it, but it's not in my mind 'cause it's not a big concern. Okay. My detail's about five years from now. Five years from now. Five years? Okay. Yes. We have plenty of time to really, if you want, delineate the deeper zones to see upside potential. Yes. Okay. Will do. Thank you. Thanks. Your next question comes from Carlos Escalante with Wolfe Research. Your line is open. Hi, guys. Thanks for taking my question. This is Aayush Gupta on behalf of Carlos Escalante. He apologizes for not being on. We'd like to ask about porosity. You have two successful flow tests on a basin where reservoir characterization, as pointed by some research paper, seems to point out Oligocene sands in the range of 5%-20%, with the mean towards the lower end. Why would you not disclose perhaps a range on that? Let me start with an answer, and maybe Chris can add more color if necessary. We are hesitant to disclose one parameter about something that is, you know, that's related to one parameter over a very large field. What I would point you to is we've announced results from our drill stem tests, and we've flow tested the 1X well, 10,000 bbl a day, and two different flow tests summed together 12,000 bbl day for the 2X well, which gives us high confidence in a highly productive, highly permeable reservoir of tremendous quality. Probably those flow rates are better than the basin average from different reservoirs. It's probably on the order of three to five times higher production rate than has been commercially developed in the basin. We think that's a very concrete result. In a reservoir of the scale we're talking about, we have multiple reservoirs. In these reservoirs, porosity is something that varies across the reservoir. We have so far two holes in the ground where we've encountered significant pay. Within the pay section, the porosity varies within just the well we're in. To come up with an average number where we have two small holes in an area the size of Manhattan is premature. We would rather get through our comprehensive appraisal program and come up with a much better model of what the average properties are. Having said that, I think we have high confidence that we have a highly productive, prolific reservoir here. Focusing on just one parameter is not, I would say, is not critical. What is important ultimately is what is the oil in place and how much of the oil in place will be recovered. Porosity is one of about seven key parameters that are related to determining how much oil will come out of the ground. Makes sense. Thanks for the answer. Thank you. Again, if you would like to ask a question, press star one on your telephone keypad. Your next question is a follow-up from Leo Mariani with Roth Capital Partners. Your line is open. Hey, guys. Just wanted to dive a little bit on exploration. We talk a lot about, you know, sort of appraisal at Hai Su Vang, and development of Lac Da Vang, but can you maybe just talk a little bit more color about what kind of an exploration program can look like? I think on your previous call, you guys talked about drilling more exploration wells between 2027 and 2029. You just mentioned the five-year window a bit ago. Presumably, you are just gonna be drilling kind of in around these hubs that you are developing. I think I did hear you say a little bit ago that prospect size at Lac Da Vang is kinda 20 million bbl-30 million bbl. Maybe you can just kind of characterize what you are looking for. Is it more kind of smaller kinda satellite fields and everything gets tied back eventually? Is that the case for both hub developments? Are there any other sort of larger prospects left? Just hoping you can give us kind of an overview of what you guys are seeing from an exploration perspective. Leo, that's a great question, and it gives me an opportunity to give you some pretty good color here. We have one exploration well planned in Block 15-1/05 this year. That is the Lac Da Trang North, so White Camel North. That's a well we'll drill this year. What I expect is in the 2027 to 2029 time period, we are likely to come back here and have quite an active exploration program to test the remaining undrilled prospectivity on the block and set ourselves up for an optimal tieback development program. These fields. I think Lac Da Hong, preliminary results we said is probably in the 30 million bbl-60 million bblel range. The other fields, we have some work to do to kind of assess, you know, just how big they are. What is important and what Franc tried to point out was we need somewhere less than 10 million barrels to have a tieback work. We're probably gonna find things that are 20 million bbl-40 million bbl, would be, you know, kind of a guess of the size of the future tiebacks there. What it does for us, it sets us up to fully test the block just like we did in our Sarawak Malaysia business, and then optimally plan a development where we, you know, efficiently develop all the total resource in the block over time. It's likely that's done with common infrastructure. The FSO and pipeline infrastructure almost certainly will be used in common. It's possible that we may need more processing equipment or expand the capacity of the Lac Da Vang development to accommodate future higher processing capacity. We may find a field that's large enough that it justifies its own processing platform, and we would just have common FSO and pipeline infrastructure. I think you'll see us focus sooner on testing the prospectivity in 15-1/05 and then probably pivot to the 15-2/17, where, as you can see from our slides, there's a lot of remaining prospectivity to test. The timing is probably more important in 15-1/05 because of the nature of an ability to move into tieback mode quickly with first oil in Hai Su Vang obviously coming probably in the early 2030s or maybe 2030. We'll probably see us be more active in 15-1/05 and then pivot later to explore more in 15-2/17. Okay. I appreciate the call. Thanks. Thank you. There are no further questions at this time. This concludes today's conference call. Thank you for joining. You may now disconnect.

Speaker 6: Good morning and welcome to the second session of our webinar series. Today, we will provide an in-depth overview of our business in Vietnam. I'm excited to discuss our plans there as we anticipate that Vietnam will play an increasingly important role in our portfolio. Before we begin, here's a quick overview of where we are in our webinar series. Our first webinar last week covered Murphy's strategic approach to exploration and how it delivers real value when combined with our strong development expertise. Hopefully, you walked away from that webinar with a better understanding of our unique value proposition and distinct position within the industry. Looking ahead, in the final webinar on March 24th, we will cover the history and fundamentals of production sharing contracts, review their structure, and build an example PSC model together.

Next, we will examine the Cuu Long Basin and its long-standing role at the heart of Vietnam's oil production. We will then review Murphy's assets in the Cuu Long Basin, discussing our blocks, discoveries to date, and how these discoveries will contribute to a strong, lasting business presence. Finally, we will present Murphy's strategy and future plans in Vietnam, demonstrating how our expertise, favorable geology, solid economics, and cooperative partnerships position us to create enduring value in the country.

Murphy originally acquired two blocks in Sarawak that had previously been held by a super major. Early on, we discovered and quickly developed the West Patricia oil field. The cash flow from West Patricia became the engine that funded further exploration, including our Kikeh discovery. From there, our team delivered a series of discoveries. We first found the gas field shown in red on this map. Later, our exploration team asked a simple question: Could the prior operator's small gas discoveries, which had been drilled near the crest of the structures, actually be gas caps of underlying oil reservoirs?

We drilled, we found oil, and we went on to discover several oil fields shown in green here. This became a showcase of Murphy's technical creativity and disciplined execution, taking what was assessed as a marginal set of assets by a peer and unlocking meaningful additional value. As we were making successful hydrocarbon discoveries in Malaysia, Petrovietnam, the national oil company of Vietnam, took notice. They recognized our success and ability to deliver on both exploration and development and invited us directly to explore in the Cuu Long Basin. That invitation is just one example of Murphy's strong international reputation, which has opened the doors for us across the globe. It's the reason Murphy entered Vietnam in 2012, and ultimately the reason we're able to pursue the material opportunity set we'll be talking about today. That hypothesis proved correct. that hypothesis proved correct We drilled, we found oil, and we went on to discover several oil fields shown in green here. we drilled we found oil and we went on to discover several oil fields shown in green here This became a showcase of Murphy's technical creativity and disciplined execution, taking what was assessed as a marginal set of assets by a peer and unlocking meaningful additional value. this became a showcase of murphy's technical creativity and disciplined execution taking what was assessed as a marginal set of assets by a peer and unlocking meaningful additional value As we were making successful hydrocarbon discoveries in Malaysia, Petrovietnam, the national oil company of Vietnam, took notice. as we were making successful hydrocarbon discoveries in malaysia petrovietnam the national oil company of vietnam took notice They recognized our success and ability to deliver on both exploration and development and invited us directly to explore in the Cuu Long Basin. they recognized our success and ability to deliver on both exploration and development and invited us directly to explore in the cuu long basin That invitation is just one example of Murphy's strong international reputation, which has opened the doors for us across the globe. that invitation is just one example of murphy's strong international reputation which has opened the doors for us across the globe It's the reason Murphy entered Vietnam in 2012, and ultimately the reason we're able to pursue the material opportunity set we'll be talking about today. it's the reason murphy entered vietnam in 2012 and ultimately the reason we're able to pursue the material opportunity set we'll be talking about today The key takeaway here is that our position in Vietnam wasn't luck, it was earned. It was the result of strong execution, value delivery, and the reputation built through our success in Malaysia. Later in the presentation today, you'll hear more about how our success in Malaysia is analogous to what we plan to achieve in Vietnam. I'll now pass the conversation to Chris Olson.

Speaker 5: Thanks, Eric. Before we delve into our business in Vietnam, I want to frame why Vietnam represents a compelling international growth opportunity for Murphy. Today, Vietnam is one of the fastest-growing economies globally, with sustained GDP growth of 5%-7% per year and a stated goal to become a high-income nation by 2045. That growth trajectory is translating directly into rising energy demand, while domestic supply, as you can see in the chart on the bottom right, has been steadily declining for more than a decade. Thanks, Eric. thanks eric Before we delve into our business in Vietnam, I want to frame why Vietnam represents a compelling international growth opportunity for Murphy. before we delve into our business in vietnam i want to frame why vietnam represents a compelling international growth opportunity for murphy Today, Vietnam is one of the fastest-growing economies globally, with sustained GDP growth of 5%-7% per year and a stated goal to become a high-income nation by 2045. today vietnam is one of the fastest-growing economies globally with sustained gdp growth of 5%-7% per year and a stated goal to become a high-income nation by 2045 That growth trajectory is translating directly into rising energy demand, while domestic supply, as you can see in the chart on the bottom right, has been steadily declining for more than a decade. that growth trajectory is translating directly into rising energy demand while domestic supply as you can see in the chart on the bottom right has been steadily declining for more than a decade Our strategy here is to help bridge the supply gap through production from the Cuu Long Basin, a basin that contains a proven petroleum system and delivers more than 80% of Vietnam's total oil output. The basin benefits from extensive established infrastructure and a low-cost operating environment which supports attractive project economics. Taken together, Vietnam, and specifically the Cuu Long Basin, offers Murphy scale, running room, and advantaged blocks that remain underdeveloped relative to the basin's proven potential. Now, let's take a closer look at Vietnam's energy landscape and why it's structurally attractive for Murphy.

Second, Vietnam's economy relies heavily on fossil fuels for power generation, with more than half the country's electricity coming from fossil fuels. As we mentioned previously, and as you can see on the chart to the right, domestic oil production has been declining for more than a decade while consumption has increased. Today, Vietnam has become increasingly reliant on oil imports, already importing over 200,000 bbl of oil per day. Despite this decline in production, as a country, Vietnam has meaningful remaining potential, with approximately 6 billion bbl of crude reserves and around 38 trillion cu ft of proven gas reserves. First, Vietnam is a growing economy, and there's strong recognition by the government that foreign participation is critical to meeting Vietnam's long-term energy goals. first vietnam is a growing economy and there's strong recognition by the government that foreign participation is critical to meeting vietnam's long-term energy goals Second, Vietnam's economy relies heavily on fossil fuels for power generation, with more than half the country's electricity coming from fossil fuels. second vietnam's economy relies heavily on fossil fuels for power generation with more than half the country's electricity coming from fossil fuels As we mentioned previously, and as you can see on the chart to the right, domestic oil production has been declining for more than a decade while consumption has increased. as we mentioned previously and as you can see on the chart to the right domestic oil production has been declining for more than a decade while consumption has increased Today, Vietnam has become increasingly reliant on oil imports, already importing over 200,000 bbl of oil per day. today vietnam has become increasingly reliant on oil imports already importing over 200,000 bbl of oil per day Despite this decline in production, as a country, Vietnam has meaningful remaining potential, with approximately 6 billion bbl of crude reserves and around 38 trillion cu ft of proven gas reserves. despite this decline in production as a country vietnam has meaningful remaining potential with approximately 6 billion bbl of crude reserves and around 38 trillion cu ft of proven gas reserves Unlocking these resources, however, requires new investment, and that's where Murphy's operating model fits exceptionally well with Vietnam. The takeaway here is pretty simple. Vietnam is a growing economy with rising energy needs, declining domestic production, and an appetite for foreign energy investment to help fill the gap. Murphy offers Vietnam a productive partnership to explore for and develop new hydrocarbon resources to support their economic goals. Unlocking these resources, however, requires new investment, and that's where Murphy's operating model fits exceptionally well with Vietnam. unlocking these resources however requires new investment and that's where murphy's operating model fits exceptionally well with vietnam The takeaway here is pretty simple. the takeaway here is pretty simple Vietnam is a growing economy with rising energy needs, declining domestic production, and an appetite for foreign energy investment to help fill the gap. vietnam is a growing economy with rising energy needs declining domestic production and an appetite for foreign energy investment to help fill the gap Murphy offers Vietnam a productive partnership to explore for and develop new hydrocarbon resources to support their economic goals. murphy offers vietnam a productive partnership to explore for and develop new hydrocarbon resources to support their economic goals With the market fundamentals clearly pointing to a runway of opportunity, it's natural to question Vietnam's investment climate and whether Vietnam is a stable and reliable place to invest. Vietnam has implemented major business and investment reforms over the past several years, which have been highly effective in drawing global capital. Today, foreign investment accounts for more than half of the country's GDP, and the country is especially supportive of investments in the energy sector.

Several key factors consistently draw investor interest. First, a stable political system with a governing structure that has been in place for more than 50 years. Second, a strong economy with sustained economic growth. Third, a skilled workforce and competitive labor costs. Finally, an expanding network of trade agreements and legal reforms that enhance transparency and market access.

Additionally, over the last several years, Vietnam has entered into trade agreements and strategic partnerships that improve Vietnam's global integration. Altogether, these factors build a strong foundation of fiscal stability and investment security, and for Murphy, these characteristics serve as the cornerstone for confident long-term investment. Vietnam's economic growth ranks among the top 10% globally, and foreign direct investment has trended up over the last 20+ years. vietnam's economic growth ranks among the top 10% globally and foreign direct investment has trended up over the last 20+ years Additionally, over the last several years, Vietnam has entered into trade agreements and strategic partnerships that improve Vietnam's global integration. additionally over the last several years vietnam has entered into trade agreements and strategic partnerships that improve vietnam's global integration Altogether, these factors build a strong foundation of fiscal stability and investment security, and for Murphy, these characteristics serve as the cornerstone for confident long-term investment. altogether these factors build a strong foundation of fiscal stability and investment security and for murphy these characteristics serve as the cornerstone for confident long-term investment Now, let's talk about fiscal terms, because this is an area where people often make assumptions and are influenced by perception and not reality. When investors hear that Vietnam's government take is around 70%, the immediate reaction is often, "Man, that sounds high." Fiscal regimes don't exist in a vacuum. They're fundamentally a risk-reward relationship that can balance and enhance Murphy's portfolio. Government take is designed to balance risk. Lower government take typically applies to higher-risk environments like deepwater, frontier, and unproven basins. Higher government take typically indicates lower risk, like proven and mature basins, shallow water, or areas with extensive data and existing infrastructure. Vietnam fits squarely in that second category. Now, let's talk about fiscal terms, because this is an area where people often make assumptions and are influenced by perception and not reality. now let's talk about fiscal terms because this is an area where people often make assumptions and are influenced by perception and not reality When investors hear that Vietnam's government take is around 70%, the immediate reaction is often, "Man, that sounds high."

The government take here isn't a penalty, but rather a reflection of the fact that investors are operating in one of the lowest-risk oily basins in Southeast Asia. Looking at the chart to the right, Vietnam's terms are well within the range of global comparables for different fiscal regimes, including PSCs and tax royalty structures. In other words, Vietnam is neither unusually punitive nor unusually generous and is appropriately calibrated for the risk profile of the basin.

A proven basin with a high chance of success, stacked pay zones, fast cycle times, and existing infrastructure creates economics that outperform lower government take basins with poorer subsurface characteristics. Rather than focusing solely on the top-line government take number, the right question to ask is, "What is the risk-adjusted return?" In Vietnam, that combination is attractive. We plan to dive deeper into this during the next webinar in our series. As discussed during the first webinar, for Murphy, everything starts with the big picture, and regional work informs our access strategies. When most people think about hydrocarbon occurrence and phase in Southeast Asia, they think about natural gas.

The basin is strongly liquids-weighted, with roughly 75% of recoverable volumes being oil and liquids, which is a key differentiator relative to the gas-dominated basins in the region. Thinking regionally, this was key as Murphy contemplated access over a decade ago.

Blocks 15-1/05 and 15-2/17 sit within the core of this oil-prone source basin, where hydrocarbon source rocks are heated and transformed from organic material into oil. With that, their proximity to these mature source rocks facilitates hydrocarbon migration and the efficient filling of large structures. The basin is incredibly rich, and nearly every porous and permeable layer from the pre-Cretaceous basement through the Miocene sees oil accumulations or oil shows. With a runway of exploration opportunities that remain to be tested, this materially reduces comparative exploration risk in our exploration portfolio.

Speaker 7: Thank you, Chris. We enter the Cuu Long Basin by acquiring working interest in the 15-1/05, and later entering the 15-2/17 block. At the time, there were two discoveries, Lac Da Nau or Brown Camel, and Lac Da Vang or Golden Camel, which serve as springboards for future ideas and scale. Our first operating discovery was the Lac Da Trang or White Camel in 2019, which led to the development of the Hai Su Vang or Golden Sea Lion prospect. In 2023, we structured our activity around a hub and spoke model that maximizes capital efficiency and shortened cycle time, similar to what we achieved in our Sarawak business. What we mean by hub and spoke is that we have an anchor field that will serve as a hub in that it can support the investment to install processing and export infrastructure.

First, we sanction the Golden Camel development with a three-year timeline to first oil. Second, we approved the 2024 exploration campaign to drill the Golden Sea Lion hub class prospect and the Pink Camel tieback prospect. The thought at the time was for the Golden Sea Lion prospect to become the anchor for the 15-2/17 block, while the Pink Camel prospect will be a tieback to the Golden Camel hub, providing optionality to maximize available facility capacity. Combined, this program set the basis to build a material oil-weighted growth platform with disciplined capital deployment and clear line of sight to production and cash flow growth. Fast-forward to today, our exploration and appraisal record in our Cuu Long Basin blocks has a 100% success rate. Future smaller discoveries can be tied back for lower capital. future smaller discoveries can be tied back for lower capital First, we sanction the Golden Camel development with a three-year timeline to first oil. first we sanction the golden camel development with a three-year timeline to first oil Second, we approved the 2024 exploration campaign to drill the Golden Sea Lion hub class prospect and the Pink Camel tieback prospect. second we approved the 2024 exploration campaign to drill the golden sea lion hub class prospect and the pink camel tieback prospect The thought at the time was for the Golden Sea Lion prospect to become the anchor for the 15-2/17 block, while the Pink Camel prospect will be a tieback to the Golden Camel hub, providing optionality to maximize available facility capacity. the thought at the time was for the golden sea lion prospect to become the anchor for the 15-2/17 block while the pink camel prospect will be a tieback to the golden camel hub providing optionality to maximize available facility capacity Combined, this program set the basis to build a material oil-weighted growth platform with disciplined capital deployment and clear line of sight to production and cash flow growth. combined this program set the basis to build a material oil-weighted growth platform with disciplined capital deployment and clear line of sight to production and cash flow growth Fast-forward to today, our exploration and appraisal record in our Cuu Long Basin blocks has a 100% success rate. fast-forward to today our exploration and appraisal record in our cuu long basin blocks has a 100% success rate The Golden Sea Lion has line of sight to be one of the largest discoveries in Southeast Asia, and our Golden Camel development is on track for first oil by fourth quarter this year. Over the next few slides, we'll give you a deeper look into the opportunity set in both our Cuu Long Basin blocks, as combined, this will result in a material business for Murphy in Vietnam in the 2030s. Starting with the 15-1/05 block, the Golden Camel is a hub class development of Eocene age sandstones with 100 million bbl of gross recoverable resource that is a phased development plan designed to efficiently bring volumes online. We expect peak production in the range of 10,000 bbl-15,000 bbl of oil per day, equivalent net to Murphy. The Golden Sea Lion has line of sight to be one of the largest discoveries in Southeast Asia, and our Golden Camel development is on track for first oil by fourth quarter this year. the golden sea lion has line of sight to be one of the largest discoveries in southeast asia and our golden camel development is on track for first oil by fourth quarter this year Over the next few slides, we'll give you a deeper look into the opportunity set in both our Cuu Long Basin blocks, as combined, this will result in a material business for Murphy in Vietnam in the 2030s. over the next few slides we'll give you a deeper look into the opportunity set in both our cuu long basin blocks as combined this will result in a material business for murphy in vietnam in the 2030s Starting with the 15-1/05 block, the Golden Camel is a hub class development of Eocene age sandstones with 100 million bbl of gross recoverable resource that is a phased development plan designed to efficiently bring volumes online. starting with the 15-1/05 block the golden camel is a hub class development of eocene age sandstones with 100 million bbl of gross recoverable resource that is a phased development plan designed to efficiently bring volumes online We expect peak production in the range of 10,000 bbl-15,000 bbl of oil per day, equivalent net to Murphy. we expect peak production in the range of 10,000 bbl-15,000 bbl of oil per day equivalent net to murphy On the map of the right, you can see the Golden Camel or Lac Da Vang field positioned alongside the Pink Camel, Brown Camel, White Camel, and other key prospects within both the 15-1/05 and 15-2/17 blocks. In the future, Golden Camel will serve as a primary infrastructure hub to produce from these neighboring fields, lowering the economic threshold for these prospects and improved capital efficiencies. The Golden Camel is also Murphy's first development in Vietnam, where we are seeing strong execution from our project team. We remain on track to hit our milestones with the launch of our floating storage and offloading facility in the first quarter, topsides installation in third quarter, and first oil in fourth quarter of this year.

The basin has a strong supply chain that is aligned with our focus on safety, environmental protection, and fast-tracking time to first oil. The chart on the left shows gross unrisked resource potential across the broader area, highlighting how the Golden Camel integrates into a multi-asset, multi-phase plan. When you look at the stacked reservoirs in the proximity of these fields, the strategic value of an anchor becomes clear. The infrastructure we put in place for the Golden Camel will ultimately enable lower cost, faster cycle tiebacks from surrounding discoveries that target different play types. The important takeaway here is that the Golden Camel isn't the only project in this block.

It proves the business model, confirms a strong supply chain in the basin, reduces future capital intensity of prospects, and it sets up a scalable development pathway across the block. For the last two years, we have received the best gift you can give an oil finder, a sample of clean oil. Our Golden Sea Lion discovery hits on a theme we highlighted in the first webinar. We find potential where others miss. Prospectivity on these blocks was identified for several decades, including a tenure of operatorship by a super major. By leveraging learnings from the previous discovery in our position, we came up with a unique concept of a play that has not been largely tested in the Cuu Long Basin. We continue to be impressed with the quality of resource and materiality of the Golden Sea Lion discovery.

True to our approach, we move fast to appraise with the goal of increasing the understanding of the field and start testing different development concepts. Today, we have many options to develop the Hai Su Vang. Next major milestones are sanctioning the project by year-end 2027, with the goal of first oil in 2031. To get there, we have started to evaluate several concepts. I would like to provide a bookend of potential development concepts. One is leveraging a design similar to our Golden Camel.

The other is a FPSO redeployment. Each will have trade-offs when it comes to schedule, CapEx, and execution risk. What you can expect is for us to tap into our proven track record of offshore development to accelerate the Golden Sea Lion to first oil. Lastly, once the Golden Sea Lion is online, it will be our second hub and platform for future oil growth. Similar to our Golden Camel, we have the opportunity to unlock exploration upside once our infrastructure is in place. At Murphy, we're excited to play a key role with our partners in Vietnam to help the country achieve its ambitions.

Speaker 6: In closing, Vietnam's growing economy offers a compelling investment opportunity. The need for energy is clear. The economic and political climates are favorable, and the country is welcoming foreign investment like ours to meet their energy demand. Murphy has already established a tangible foundation in country through our Lac Da Vang, Golden Camel development and the Hai Su Vang, Golden Sea Lion discovery. These projects provide a clear line of sight to building a material, long-term business in Vietnam. Vietnam gives us the opportunity to replicate the success we achieved in Malaysia. With attractive fiscal terms, strong local partnerships, and our proven offshore expertise, we are on the path to turn this basin into Murphy's next engine of long-term shareholder value creation. As mentioned previously, our next webinar will focus on production sharing contracts or PSCs.

Next, we will walk through the typical fiscal structure of a PSC, including how production and revenue flow between the contractor and the host government. Finally, probably the most exciting for this group will be a step-by-step walkthrough of an illustrative PSC cash flow model. We hope this will help clarify how entitlement production is calculated, how cost recovery works, and how profit oil is allocated across different phases of a project. Thank you again for joining us today. We look forward to seeing you for our final session on March 24th. We will now take your questions.

Speaker 8: Hey, guys. Wanted to focus on this chart on Page 13, which kind of shows the oil production potential for Golden Camel. I was hoping just to try to get a little bit more color on that. I guess I see you have this kind of darker blue wedge of development, and I guess that really represents you know the first field you know sort of coming online, but correct me if I'm wrong. Wanted to kind of get a sense of you know a rough timeline in terms of how you get from initial production, which I guess will be in the fourth quarter to kind of peak production. When do we sort of expect that?

Speaker 6: Leo, thanks for your question. What I'll do is do a little bit of framing, and then I may have Franc come in with a little more detail. I think the way that you interpret it is how we intended to communicate it. The dark blue development is the Lac Da Vang field, which as we've communicated previously, is a phased development. The initial production will come from Lac Da Vang A platform, and in 2028, we'll install a Lac Da Vang B platform and drill half the wells from each of the platforms. What will happen over the course of the development at Lac Da Vang is that we will continue to add wells in a phased manner out through 2029. Then when we finish drilling those wells, we expect that it'll begin to decline. Leo, thanks for your question. leo thanks for your question What I'll do is do a little bit of framing, and then I may have Franc come in with a little more detail. what i'll do is do a little bit of framing and then i may have franc come in with a little more detail I think the way that you interpret it is how we intended to communicate it. i think the way that you interpret it is how we intended to communicate it The dark blue development is the Lac Da Vang field, which as we've communicated previously, is a phased development. the dark blue development is the lac da vang field which as we've communicated previously is a phased development The initial production will come from Lac Da Vang A platform, and in 2028, we'll install a Lac Da Vang B platform and drill half the wells from each of the platforms. the initial production will come from lac da vang a platform and in 2028 we'll install a lac da vang b platform and drill half the wells from each of the platforms What will happen over the course of the development at Lac Da Vang is that we will continue to add wells in a phased manner out through 2029. what will happen over the course of the development at lac da vang is that we will continue to add wells in a phased manner out through 2029 Then when we finish drilling those wells, we expect that it'll begin to decline. then when we finish drilling those wells we expect that it'll begin to decline What we're trying to show here on the plot is that the potential for the block is much more than just the Lac Da Vang or Golden Camel field, but the discovered upside are those other fields that we have already drilled and identified hydrocarbons. In many cases, they may need some additional appraisal before we move them into a development funnel, but we have a pretty decent idea about the relative size of the resource. What we're trying to show here on the plot is that the potential for the block is much more than just the Lac Da Vang or Golden Camel field, but the discovered upside are those other fields that we have already drilled and identified hydrocarbons. what we're trying to show here on the plot is that the potential for the block is much more than just the lac da vang or golden camel field but the discovered upside are those other fields that we have already drilled and identified hydrocarbons In many cases, they may need some additional appraisal before we move them into a development funnel, but we have a pretty decent idea about the relative size of the resource. in many cases they may need some additional appraisal before we move them into a development funnel but we have a pretty decent idea about the relative size of the resource From what we've found so far, they're really tie-back scale opportunities, smaller than Lac Da Vang, but significantly large enough to continue to add to the resource from the block, which is what we're showing here. The last wedge on top is, in the lightest color, the exploration potential, and that is targeting the prospects that we highlight with sort of light blue shaded polygons in the Block 15-1/05. To be clear, on Slide 13, we're talking just about the Block 15-1/05, and then on the following slide, we talk about the Block 15-2 potential. My last comment I'll make, and I'll let Franc add any color, is that the success rate we've had so far in drilling in the Cuu Long is 100%. From what we've found so far, they're really tie-back scale opportunities, smaller than Lac Da Vang, but significantly large enough to continue to add to the resource from the block, which is what we're showing here. from what we've found so far they're really tie-back scale opportunities smaller than lac da vang but significantly large enough to continue to add to the resource from the block which is what we're showing here The last wedge on top is, in the lightest color, the exploration potential, and that is targeting the prospects that we highlight with sort of light blue shaded polygons in the Block 15-1/05. the last wedge on top is in the lightest color the exploration potential and that is targeting the prospects that we highlight with sort of light blue shaded polygons in the block 15-1/05 To be clear, on Slide 13, we're talking just about the Block 15-1/05, and then on the following slide, we talk about the Block 15-2 potential. to be clear on slide 13 we're talking just about the block 15-1/05 and then on the following slide we talk about the block 15-2 potential My last comment I'll make, and I'll let Franc add any color, is that the success rate we've had so far in drilling in the Cuu Long is 100%. my last comment i'll make and i'll let franc add any color is that the success rate we've had so far in drilling in the cuu long is 100% I don't imagine that we will get through all of our exploration program here at 100%, but it is a pretty strong track record, and it gives us some confidence that there's a very good chance we're gonna keep finding oil in these prospects and allow us to continue to maximize the facilities we're developing for Lac Da Vang in a very capital-efficient way. Franc, if you wanna add any color, you're more than welcome to. I don't imagine that we will get through all of our exploration program here at 100%, but it is a pretty strong track record, and it gives us some confidence that there's a very good chance we're gonna keep finding oil in these prospects and allow us to continue to maximize the facilities we're developing for Lac Da Vang in a very capital-efficient way. i don't imagine that we will get through all of our exploration program here at 100% but it is a pretty strong track record and it gives us some confidence that there's a very good chance we're gonna keep finding oil in these prospects and allow us to continue to maximize the facilities we're developing for lac da vang in a very capital-efficient way Franc, if you wanna add any color, you're more than welcome to. franc if you wanna add any color you're more than welcome to

Speaker 7: Thanks, Eric. Yeah, Leo, I think one thing that we highlighted in our prepared remarks is our hub-and-spoke model and the benefits of that. What we've seen from what we've run our internal economics is the minimum economic field size to make these tiebacks work is roughly 8 million bbl-10 million bbl. It's a very low threshold, and we think these prospects here, the prospectivity around Lac Da Vang is above that, each prospect ranging between 20-30 million barrels that we will test, appraise, and test. That's what gives us. Now that we have the infrastructure in place for the Golden Camel, we now can start exploring and opening up testing concepts similar to what we're seeing in the Golden Sea Lion in order to maximize facility utilization of the investment that we made with the Golden Camel field. Thanks, Eric. thanks eric Yeah, Leo, I think one thing that we highlighted in our prepared remarks is our hub-and-spoke model and the benefits of that. yeah leo i think one thing that we highlighted in our prepared remarks is our hub-and-spoke model and the benefits of that What we've seen from what we've run our internal economics is the minimum economic field size to make these tiebacks work is roughly 8 million bbl-10 million bbl. what we've seen from what we've run our internal economics is the minimum economic field size to make these tiebacks work is roughly 8 million bbl-10 million bbl It's a very low threshold, and we think these prospects here, the prospectivity around Lac Da Vang is above that, each prospect ranging between 20-30 million barrels that we will test, appraise, and test. it's a very low threshold and we think these prospects here the prospectivity around lac da vang is above that each prospect ranging between 20-30 million barrels that we will test appraise and test That's what gives us. that's what gives us Now that we have the infrastructure in place for the Golden Camel, we now can start exploring and opening up testing concepts similar to what we're seeing in the Golden Sea Lion in order to maximize facility utilization of the investment that we made with the Golden Camel field. now that we have the infrastructure in place for the golden camel we now can start exploring and opening up testing concepts similar to what we're seeing in the golden sea lion in order to maximize facility utilization of the investment that we made with the golden camel field

Speaker 6: Thanks, Franc. Just the last comment from me. We're showing here a production profile that is not intended to be overly quantitative. It's really trying to be sort of relative scale of what we found versus what may be found in a sort of cartoon way. I wouldn't try to put this exact production profile in a model. It gives you a sense for a relative scale of what may be developed across the block. Thanks, Franc. thanks franc Just the last comment from me. just the last comment from me We're showing here a production profile that is not intended to be overly quantitative. we're showing here a production profile that is not intended to be overly quantitative It's really trying to be sort of relative scale of what we found versus what may be found in a sort of cartoon way. it's really trying to be sort of relative scale of what we found versus what may be found in a sort of cartoon way I wouldn't try to put this exact production profile in a model. i wouldn't try to put this exact production profile in a model It gives you a sense for a relative scale of what may be developed across the block. it gives you a sense for a relative scale of what may be developed across the block

Speaker 8: Okay. That was super helpful, very thorough there. Wanna jump over to Hai Su Vang at this point. I think you guys are doing two more appraisal wells, you know, here this year. Can you talk a little about the, you know, the timing of those? Has one of those spud yet? Are those more second half wells? And then I guess maybe just talk about more what you hope to accomplish. You have the range of 170 MMBOE-430 MMBOE, which you already have. I think you've already indicated you're kind of at the higher end of the range at this point. Maybe just talk about what the goals on those two wells would be. Presumably, that can expand that range, you know, above that. Maybe just provide some more color on that would be great. Okay. okay That was super helpful, very thorough there. that was super helpful very thorough there Wanna jump over to Hai Su Vang at this point. wanna jump over to hai su vang at this point I think you guys are doing two more appraisal wells, you know, here this year. i think you guys are doing two more appraisal wells you know here this year Can you talk a little about the, you know, the timing of those? can you talk a little about the you know the timing of those Has one of those spud yet? has one of those spud yet Are those more second half wells? are those more second half wells And then I guess maybe just talk about more what you hope to accomplish. and then i guess maybe just talk about more what you hope to accomplish You have the range of 170 MMBOE- 430 MMBOE, which you already have. you have the range of 170 mmboe- 430 mmboe which you already have I think you've already indicated you're kind of at the higher end of the range at this point. i think you've already indicated you're kind of at the higher end of the range at this point Maybe just talk about what the goals on those two wells would be. maybe just talk about what the goals on those two wells would be Presumably, that can expand that range, you know, above that. presumably that can expand that range you know above that Maybe just provide some more color on that would be great. maybe just provide some more color on that would be great

Speaker 6: Thanks, Leo. We are in the middle of our appraisal campaign. As you noted, we announced the results from the 2X well, which gave us a significant view of the resource that puts it toward the higher end of the initial communicated range. We still have a lot to learn about the field. The 3X and 4X wells that we're working on now will help us assess the resource more comprehensively. The 3X well is drilling in the northeast extension of the field in 15-1/05 block, and the 4X well will be drilled in the southwest part of the field. When we're done, we'll have four penetrations in the reservoirs, and it'll cover the bulk of the structure. That information is important for us. Thanks, Leo. thanks leo We are in the middle of our appraisal campaign. we are in the middle of our appraisal campaign As you noted, we announced the results from the 2X well, which gave us a significant view of the resource that puts it toward the higher end of the initial communicated range. as you noted we announced the results from the 2x well which gave us a significant view of the resource that puts it toward the higher end of the initial communicated range We still have a lot to learn about the field. we still have a lot to learn about the field The 3X and 4X wells that we're working on now will help us assess the resource more comprehensively. the 3x and 4x wells that we're working on now will help us assess the resource more comprehensively The 3X well is drilling in the northeast extension of the field in 15-1/05 block, and the 4X well will be drilled in the southwest part of the field. the 3x well is drilling in the northeast extension of the field in 15-1/05 block and the 4x well will be drilled in the southwest part of the field When we're done, we'll have four penetrations in the reservoirs, and it'll cover the bulk of the structure. when we're done we'll have four penetrations in the reservoirs and it'll cover the bulk of the structure That information is important for us. that information is important for us As we cover the bulk of the structure, we'll be able to update in a kind of comprehensive way what the resource range is for the reservoirs that we encounter. The 3X and 4X campaign is underway. I anticipate that we'll have results from those wells and an updated resource range somewhere around the middle of this year. Maybe by the time we come up with all the new assessment of resource range, it might be in the August timeframe. That's what we have. We expect to do going forward. As we cover the bulk of the structure, we'll be able to update in a kind of comprehensive way what the resource range is for the reservoirs that we encounter.

Speaker 8: Okay. That was super helpful, Eric. Supposedly, if these wells are very successful, then this 430 MMBOE number should move up over time if those wells are really solid, right? Okay. okay That was super helpful, Eric. that was super helpful eric Supposedly, if these wells are very successful, then this 430 MMBOE number should move up over time if those wells are really solid, right? supposedly if these wells are very successful then this 430 mmboe number should move up over time if those wells are really solid right

Speaker 6: I would not necessarily characterize that the resource range moves above. I think what we should do is get through our program and fully assess the field and what do we learn from every penetration in the reservoir. The aerial extent of what we've identified the oil down to so far is the size of Manhattan, and we have two small holes in the ground. There's a lot of information to be learned about the field. I feel good about what we've communicated historically here, is that our midpoint is probably toward the higher end of our initial range. It's possible that we could see resource that goes significantly above the 430 MMBOE initial high point, which is what we communicated with our press release in January. I would hesitate to speculate on a number at this point. I would not necessarily characterize that the resource range moves above. i would not necessarily characterize that the resource range moves above I think what we should do is get through our program and fully assess the field and what do we learn from every penetration in the reservoir. i think what we should do is get through our program and fully assess the field and what do we learn from every penetration in the reservoir The aerial extent of what we've identified the oil down to so far is the size of Manhattan, and we have two small holes in the ground. the aerial extent of what we've identified the oil down to so far is the size of manhattan and we have two small holes in the ground There's a lot of information to be learned about the field. there's a lot of information to be learned about the field I feel good about what we've communicated historically here, is that our midpoint is probably toward the higher end of our initial range. i feel good about what we've communicated historically here is that our midpoint is probably toward the higher end of our initial range It's possible that we could see resource that goes significantly above the 430 MMBOE initial high point, which is what we communicated with our press release in January. it's possible that we could see resource that goes significantly above the 430 mmboe initial high point which is what we communicated with our press release in january I would hesitate to speculate on a number at this point. i would hesitate to speculate on a number at this point I think what we need to do is finish our appraisal campaign and have a really comprehensive updated view of the resource range. You won't see us in the next month or two speculating. We wanna get through our program and then come up with a new range that we think is probably tighter than this, and we'll be happy to kinda move forward on the development plan with that basis. I think what we need to do is finish our appraisal campaign and have a really comprehensive updated view of the resource range. i think what we need to do is finish our appraisal campaign and have a really comprehensive updated view of the resource range You won't see us in the next month or two speculating. you won't see us in the next month or two speculating We wanna get through our program and then come up with a new range that we think is probably tighter than this, and we'll be happy to kinda move forward on the development plan with that basis. we wanna get through our program and then come up with a new range that we think is probably tighter than this and we'll be happy to kinda move forward on the development plan with that basis

Speaker 9: Your next question comes from Arun Jayaram with JPMorgan. Your line is open. Your next question comes from Arun Jayaram with JPMorgan. your next question comes from arun jayaram with jpmorgan Your line is open. your line is open

Speaker 2: Yeah. Good morning, Eric and team. My first question is on the LDV field. Eric, you've highlighted 100 million bbl equivalent of gross resource potential. I was wondering maybe if you could help us understand what is the gross CapEx number for that development and kind of today, and from a reserve booking standpoint, what is Murphy booked in terms of its you know, reserve report from a proven reserve basis? Yeah. yeah Good morning, Eric and team. good morning eric and team My first question is on the LDV field. my first question is on the ldv field Eric, you've highlighted 100 million bbl equivalent of gross resource potential. eric you've highlighted 100 million bbl equivalent of gross resource potential I was wondering maybe if you could help us understand what is the gross CapEx number for that development and kind of today, and from a reserve booking standpoint, what is Murphy booked in terms of its you know, reserve report from a proven reserve basis? i was wondering maybe if you could help us understand what is the gross capex number for that development and kind of today and from a reserve booking standpoint what is murphy booked in terms of its you know reserve report from a proven reserve basis

Speaker 6: Thanks, Arun. I'll hit on the reserve booking, and then I'll have Franc talk about the CapEx. We made an initial proved reserve booking net to Murphy of about 13 million bbl, and we did that after we sanctioned the project in 2023. It's been on the books for a little while now. What'll happen over time with proved bookings in these type of offshore fields, you start out, we get a little production performance, and then over time you add to the proved reserve. The initial booking is a pretty conservative number. I wouldn't take 13 million bbl compared to a 100 million bbl total potential and say that reflects what we think our net ultimate potential is. It's really a fairly conservative initial booking. On the project spending, I'll let Franc give some details around that. Thanks, Arun. thanks arun I'll hit on the reserve booking, and then I'll have Franc talk about the CapEx. i'll hit on the reserve booking and then i'll have franc talk about the capex We made an initial proved reserve booking net to Murphy of about 13 million bbl, and we did that after we sanctioned the project in 2023. we made an initial proved reserve booking net to murphy of about 13 million bbl and we did that after we sanctioned the project in 2023 It's been on the books for a little while now. it's been on the books for a little while now What'll happen over time with proved bookings in these type of offshore fields, you start out, we get a little production performance, and then over time you add to the proved reserve. what'll happen over time with proved bookings in these type of offshore fields you start out we get a little production performance and then over time you add to the proved reserve The initial booking is a pretty conservative number. the initial booking is a pretty conservative number I wouldn't take 13 million bbl compared to a 100 million bbl total potential and say that reflects what we think our net ultimate potential is. i wouldn't take 13 million bbl compared to a 100 million bbl total potential and say that reflects what we think our net ultimate potential is It's really a fairly conservative initial booking. it's really a fairly conservative initial booking On the project spending, I'll let Franc give some details around that. on the project spending i'll let franc give some details around that

Speaker 7: Yeah. Yeah, Arun. On project spending, total project CapEx out there since we sanctioned, it's around $390 million net CapEx to us. This year we're projected to spend around $100 million. Through 2027 to 2029, the average will go down to about $50 million, which will be mostly spent on the second wellhead platform and the other half of the wells to get drilling to be done with drilling all the way till 2029. Yeah. yeah Yeah, Arun. yeah arun On project spending, total project CapEx out there since we sanctioned, it's around $390 million net CapEx to us. on project spending total project capex out there since we sanctioned it's around $390 million net capex to us This year we're projected to spend around $100 million. this year we're projected to spend around $100 million Through 2027 to 2029, the average will go down to about $50 million, which will be mostly spent on the second wellhead platform and the other half of the wells to get drilling to be done with drilling all the way till 2029. through 2027 to 2029 the average will go down to about $50 million which will be mostly spent on the second wellhead platform and the other half of the wells to get drilling to be done with drilling all the way till 2029

Speaker 6: Arun, we're 40% working interest, so if you want a gross number, you could take the number that Franc said and net that up at 40%. About $950 million. Arun, we're 40% working interest, so if you want a gross number, you could take the number that Franc said and net that up at 40%. arun we're 40% working interest so if you want a gross number you could take the number that franc said and net that up at 40% About $950 million. about $950 million

Speaker 2: Got it. Got it. got it

Speaker 6: about $10 a barrel. $9-$10 a barrel. about $10 a barrel. $9-$10 a barrel. about $10 a barrel $9-$10 a barrel

Speaker 2: Okay. Just to clarify a couple of numbers, the 13 million bbl of reserve booking, is that on a net basis? Okay. okay Just to clarify a couple of numbers, the 13 million bbl of reserve booking, is that on a net basis? just to clarify a couple of numbers the 13 million bbl of reserve booking is that on a net basis

Speaker 6: It is. It is. it is

Speaker 2: Okay, great. Then the $50 million of CapEx that Franc talked about, is that per annum or total between 2027 and 2029? Okay, great. okay great Then the $50 million of CapEx that Franc talked about, is that per annum or total between 2027 and 2029? then the $50 million of capex that franc talked about is that per annum or total between 2027 and 2029

Speaker 7: Per annum. On average. Per annum. per annum On average. on average

Speaker 2: Per annum. Okay, got it. That's helpful. Just maybe a follow-up, Eric. We know that one of your partners in Vietnam is marketing, I believe a 25% interest in the block. Do you have a ROFR on your position in Vietnam, and how would you and the board evaluate potentially increasing your interest in what looks to be a really exciting growth opportunity for the company? Per annum. per annum Okay, got it. okay got it That's helpful. that's helpful Just maybe a follow-up, Eric. just maybe a follow-up eric We know that one of your partners in Vietnam is marketing, I believe a 25% interest in the block. we know that one of your partners in vietnam is marketing i believe a 25% interest in the block Do you have a ROFR on your position in Vietnam, and how would you and the board evaluate potentially increasing your interest in what looks to be a really exciting growth opportunity for the company? do you have a rofr on your position in vietnam and how would you and the board evaluate potentially increasing your interest in what looks to be a really exciting growth opportunity for the company

Speaker 6: We do have a ROFR, and if we believe that our partner that is potentially transacting a sale has negotiated terms that we think are competitive for us, then we will exercise our ROFR, most likely, because we do see the potential here. It's significant. I will highlight that we don't know for sure if a transaction will happen. They have an active data room. They have been a little bit unclear about exactly what they may sell. We have heard that they are maybe selling only their interest in 15-2 and not 15-1/05, but I think they're marketing both, and they're open to offers. We'll see what happens. We do have a ROFR, and if we believe that our partner that is potentially transacting a sale has negotiated terms that we think are competitive for us, then we will exercise our ROFR, most likely, because we do see the potential here. we do have a rofr and if we believe that our partner that is potentially transacting a sale has negotiated terms that we think are competitive for us then we will exercise our rofr most likely because we do see the potential here It's significant. it's significant I will highlight that we don't know for sure if a transaction will happen. i will highlight that we don't know for sure if a transaction will happen They have an active data room. they have an active data room They have been a little bit unclear about exactly what they may sell. they have been a little bit unclear about exactly what they may sell We have heard that they are maybe selling only their interest in 15-2 and not 15-1/05, but I think they're marketing both, and they're open to offers. we have heard that they are maybe selling only their interest in 15-2 and not 15-1/05 but i think they're marketing both and they're open to offers We'll see what happens. we'll see what happens Obviously we have a track record of not overpaying for things, so it'll be interesting to see if they do reach a deal with a potential purchaser, what the valuation will be and if it looks attractive to us to move in. We do like the opportunity here. I would love to have more of it at the right price. We think the potential on the blocks is significant, which is what we're trying to highlight in our presentation today. Obviously we have a track record of not overpaying for things, so it'll be interesting to see if they do reach a deal with a potential purchaser, what the valuation will be and if it looks attractive to us to move in. obviously we have a track record of not overpaying for things so it'll be interesting to see if they do reach a deal with a potential purchaser what the valuation will be and if it looks attractive to us to move in We do like the opportunity here. we do like the opportunity here I would love to have more of it at the right price. i would love to have more of it at the right price We think the potential on the blocks is significant, which is what we're trying to highlight in our presentation today. we think the potential on the blocks is significant which is what we're trying to highlight in our presentation today

Speaker 2: Great. I'll turn it back. Thank you. Great. great I'll turn it back. i'll turn it back Thank you. thank you

Speaker 6: Thanks, Arun. Thanks, Arun. thanks arun

Speaker 9: Your next question comes from Charles Meade with Johnson Rice. Your line is open. Your next question comes from Charles Meade with Johnson Rice. your next question comes from charles meade with johnson rice Your line is open. your line is open

Speaker 4: Yes. Good morning, Eric, to you and your team there. I'd like to ask a question on Slide eight, and it's really if you could help paint a little bit more the picture for us for Vietnam as a host government. You know, I think the term Communist Party is a little off-putting, but it seems like it maybe is more of a label than a kind of a substantive description. You've laid out a good case here where you know, the country is opening up to and making deals with Western countries, Western business interests. Can you give us a sense of what the history specific to the offshore has been? Has there ever been an expropriation or a kind of a post-facto change of PSC terms or anything that maybe was a historical concern, which you think is no longer a concern now? Yes. yes Good morning, Eric, to you and your team there. good morning eric to you and your team there I'd like to ask a question on Slide eight, and it's really if you could help paint a little bit more the picture for us for Vietnam as a host government. i'd like to ask a question on slide eight and it's really if you could help paint a little bit more the picture for us for vietnam as a host government You know, I think the term Communist Party is a little off-putting, but it seems like it maybe is more of a label than a kind of a substantive description. you know i think the term communist party is a little off-putting but it seems like it maybe is more of a label than a kind of a substantive description You've laid out a good case here where you know, the country is opening up to and making deals with Western countries, Western business interests. you've laid out a good case here where you know the country is opening up to and making deals with western countries western business interests Can you give us a sense of what the history specific to the offshore has been? can you give us a sense of what the history specific to the offshore has been Has there ever been an expropriation or a kind of a post-facto change of PSC terms or anything that maybe was a historical concern, which you think is no longer a concern now? has there ever been an expropriation or a kind of a post-facto change of psc terms or anything that maybe was a historical concern which you think is no longer a concern now

Speaker 6: That's a really good question. The environment for foreign investment in Vietnam is extremely stable. There is no history of any PSC terms changing or a block being expropriated. The Oil business in Vietnam initially was established without foreign participation, with the exception of the Soviet Union, post-war, and they developed their own capability, and a very healthy, mature service sector. The investment in Oil business there has just been tremendous and extremely stable, for you know, 50 years. We're really happy to invest there. I guess to some people, the Communist Party term could be off-putting, but that's what they are, and that's what they call themselves. They are a very pro-foreign investment, communist government. It's a very stable government. That's a really good question. that's a really good question The environment for foreign investment in Vietnam is extremely stable. the environment for foreign investment in vietnam is extremely stable There is no history of any PSC terms changing or a block being expropriated. there is no history of any psc terms changing or a block being expropriated The Oil business in Vietnam initially was established without foreign participation, with the exception of the Soviet Union, post-war, and they developed their own capability, and a very healthy, mature service sector. the oil business in vietnam initially was established without foreign participation with the exception of the soviet union post-war and they developed their own capability and a very healthy mature service sector The investment in Oil business there has just been tremendous and extremely stable, for you know, 50 years. the investment in oil business there has just been tremendous and extremely stable for you know 50 years We're really happy to invest there. we're really happy to invest there I guess to some people, the Communist Party term could be off-putting, but that's what they are, and that's what they call themselves. i guess to some people the communist party term could be off-putting but that's what they are and that's what they call themselves They are a very pro-foreign investment, communist government. they are a very pro-foreign investment communist government It's a very stable government. it's a very stable government It's effectively a one-party for 50 years. We're happy to be doing business there. We're very happy with the ability to invest with confidence and have no concerns. Have there ever been a period where we've been concerned that the governmental instability or the risk of something being taken from us? They're welcoming, they're extremely encouraging for us to invest. They're supportive. Last year, I met with the senior leader of the Communist Party, Mr. To Lam, and he said all the things I just told you. He said that they're supportive, and they want us to invest, and they're there to help our project move along in a timely manner and hope that we continue to discover more hydrocarbons. It's effectively a one-party for 50 years. it's effectively a one-party for 50 years We're happy to be doing business there. we're happy to be doing business there We're very happy with the ability to invest with confidence and have no concerns. we're very happy with the ability to invest with confidence and have no concerns Have there ever been a period where we've been concerned that the governmental instability or the risk of something being taken from us? have there ever been a period where we've been concerned that the governmental instability or the risk of something being taken from us They're welcoming, they're extremely encouraging for us to invest. they're welcoming they're extremely encouraging for us to invest They're supportive. they're supportive Last year, I met with the senior leader of the Communist Party, Mr. To Lam, and he said all the things I just told you. last year i met with the senior leader of the communist party mr to lam and he said all the things i just told you He said that they're supportive, and they want us to invest, and they're there to help our project move along in a timely manner and hope that we continue to discover more hydrocarbons. he said that they're supportive and they want us to invest and they're there to help our project move along in a timely manner and hope that we continue to discover more hydrocarbons

Speaker 4: Right. Okay, great. My second question on Slide 11, when I look at your, I'm looking at the different horizons you've, you know, discovered oil in. In the HSB, the rightmost one there, it suggests to me that your first two wells, you've only tested through the, I guess the middle Oligocene, and you haven't tested yet the lower Oligocene or the Eocene. I'm curious, are the 3X and 4X designed to test those deeper horizons? And also it looks like maybe you go down to the Oligocene, but you're not going all the way to the pre-Cenozoic like you have in the Brown Camel. Why not go that deep? Maybe just to kind of Right. right Okay, great. okay great My second question on Slide 11, when I look at your, I'm looking at the different horizons you've, you know, discovered oil in. my second question on slide 11 when i look at your i'm looking at the different horizons you've you know discovered oil in In the HSB, the rightmost one there, it suggests to me that your first two wells, you've only tested through the, I guess the middle Oligocene, and you haven't tested yet the lower Oligocene or the Eocene. in the hsb the rightmost one there it suggests to me that your first two wells you've only tested through the i guess the middle oligocene and you haven't tested yet the lower oligocene or the eocene I'm curious, are the 3X and 4X designed to test those deeper horizons? i'm curious are the 3x and 4x designed to test those deeper horizons And also it looks like maybe you go down to the Oligocene, but you're not going all the way to the pre-Cenozoic like you have in the Brown Camel. and also it looks like maybe you go down to the oligocene but you're not going all the way to the pre-cenozoic like you have in the brown camel Why not go that deep? why not go that deep Maybe just to kind of maybe just to kind of I know there's a couple of questions in there, but just are you appraising those lower Oligocene and Eocene in the 3X and 4X? It looks like you are. Why not go deeper? Maybe there's a larger discussion there about a deeper setting here versus the Brown Camel find. I know there's a couple of questions in there, but just are you appraising those lower Oligocene and Eocene in the 3X and 4X? i know there's a couple of questions in there but just are you appraising those lower oligocene and eocene in the 3x and 4x It looks like you are. it looks like you are Why not go deeper? why not go deeper Maybe there's a larger discussion there about a deeper setting here versus the Brown Camel find. maybe there's a larger discussion there about a deeper setting here versus the brown camel find

Speaker 6: Yeah. Nicely spotted there. The 3X well that we're currently on is specifically designed to test the four reservoirs that you see there, including the deeper potential than the oil discoveries we've announced in two reservoirs so far. It is specifically designed to test for deeper potential. One of those reservoirs is the reservoir that is being developed and will soon produce at Lac Da Vang field. The basement here or the pre-Cenozoic is not viewed by us at this time as being particularly prospective in the HSV location. Chris, maybe if you want to add any color around why. Yeah. yeah Nicely spotted there. nicely spotted there The 3X well that we're currently on is specifically designed to test the four reservoirs that you see there, including the deeper potential than the oil discoveries we've announced in two reservoirs so far. the 3x well that we're currently on is specifically designed to test the four reservoirs that you see there including the deeper potential than the oil discoveries we've announced in two reservoirs so far It is specifically designed to test for deeper potential. it is specifically designed to test for deeper potential One of those reservoirs is the reservoir that is being developed and will soon produce at Lac Da Vang field. one of those reservoirs is the reservoir that is being developed and will soon produce at lac da vang field The basement here or the pre-Cenozoic is not viewed by us at this time as being particularly prospective in the HSV location. the basement here or the pre-cenozoic is not viewed by us at this time as being particularly prospective in the hsv location Chris, maybe if you want to add any color around why. chris maybe if you want to add any color around why

Speaker 5: You know, as we, you know, look at these different dots indicating, you know, productive reservoirs in the basin, obviously you're increasing with depth. At the location where we're drilling at Hai Su Vang, the Golden Sea Lion, basement is very deep and would take a very long time to drill to, and the image quality is not very good on the block. There's a lot of uncertainty with the prospectivity of the traditionally productive basement interval in Vietnam in the Cuu Long Basin. You know, as we, you know, look at these different dots indicating, you know, productive reservoirs in the basin, obviously you're increasing with depth. you know as we you know look at these different dots indicating you know productive reservoirs in the basin obviously you're increasing with depth At the location where we're drilling at Hai Su Vang, the Golden Sea Lion, basement is very deep and would take a very long time to drill to, and the image quality is not very good on the block. at the location where we're drilling at hai su vang the golden sea lion basement is very deep and would take a very long time to drill to and the image quality is not very good on the block There's a lot of uncertainty with the prospectivity of the traditionally productive basement interval in Vietnam in the Cuu Long Basin. there's a lot of uncertainty with the prospectivity of the traditionally productive basement interval in vietnam in the cuu long basin

Speaker 6: What we've been finding so far, if we encounter reservoir sands that are of high quality, they've been filled with oil. We're trying to identify all the potential of the reservoir sands that have the potential to be commercially developed. What we've been finding so far, if we encounter reservoir sands that are of high quality, they've been filled with oil. what we've been finding so far if we encounter reservoir sands that are of high quality they've been filled with oil We're trying to identify all the potential of the reservoir sands that have the potential to be commercially developed. we're trying to identify all the potential of the reservoir sands that have the potential to be commercially developed

Speaker 10: Hey, guys. Good morning. Hey, guys. hey guys Good morning. good morning

Speaker 6: Hello Hello hello

Speaker 10: Can you give us a comparison from a CapEx standpoint on Golden Sea Lion versus the Golden Camel? I mean, Golden Camel is a number of years ago you start. The last several years, inflation has been high, so everything have equal. That may lead to a higher unit cost, but then you have much better economies of scale. When you put everything together, how should we look at it? I know you're still a little bit early, but if you can give us some pointer. Also that, other than, say, inflation and the economies of scale, will the site or the structure itself will also lead to a lower unit cost development or higher unit cost development? That's the first question. Can you give us a comparison from a CapEx standpoint on Golden Sea Lion versus the Golden Camel? can you give us a comparison from a capex standpoint on golden sea lion versus the golden camel I mean, Golden Camel is a number of years ago you start. i mean golden camel is a number of years ago you start The last several years, inflation has been high, so everything have equal. the last several years inflation has been high so everything have equal That may lead to a higher unit cost, but then you have much better economies of scale. that may lead to a higher unit cost but then you have much better economies of scale When you put everything together, how should we look at it? when you put everything together how should we look at it I know you're still a little bit early, but if you can give us some pointer. i know you're still a little bit early but if you can give us some pointer Also that, other than, say, inflation and the economies of scale, will the site or the structure itself will also lead to a lower unit cost development or higher unit cost development? also that other than say inflation and the economies of scale will the site or the structure itself will also lead to a lower unit cost development or higher unit cost development That's the first question. that's the first question

Speaker 6: Paul, thanks for that. As we talked about earlier today, the development cost of Lac Da Vang or Golden Camel is around $9-$10 a barrel. For Hai Su Vang, we highlighted that we have not yet selected a development concept, but with the different ranges of potential development concepts there, I would anticipate the development CapEx to be in the $5-$10 a barrel range. In general, I think there are things with Hai Su Vang that suggest it could be more capital efficient than Loc Duong. The reservoir production rates that we have seen, I should say, from our drill stem tests in our first two wells are very high and suggest you may need less wells for the same resource in Hai Su Vang compared to Lac Da Vang. Paul, thanks for that. paul thanks for that As we talked about earlier today, the development cost of Lac Da Vang or Golden Camel is around $9-$10 a barrel. as we talked about earlier today the development cost of lac da vang or golden camel is around $9-$10 a barrel For Hai Su Vang, we highlighted that we have not yet selected a development concept, but with the different ranges of potential development concepts there, I would anticipate the development CapEx to be in the $5-$10 a barrel range. for hai su vang we highlighted that we have not yet selected a development concept but with the different ranges of potential development concepts there i would anticipate the development capex to be in the $5-$10 a barrel range In general, I think there are things with Hai Su Vang that suggest it could be more capital efficient than Loc Duong. in general i think there are things with hai su vang that suggest it could be more capital efficient than loc duong The reservoir production rates that we have seen, I should say, from our drill stem tests in our first two wells are very high and suggest you may need less wells for the same resource in Hai Su Vang compared to Lac Da Vang. the reservoir production rates that we have seen i should say from our drill stem tests in our first two wells are very high and suggest you may need less wells for the same resource in hai su vang compared to lac da vang That would suggest potentially less spending on wells. I will say, though, it is a very large structure, and it'll need multiple drilling centers. That's something we have to figure out is the exact extent of the reservoir to be developed. How many drill centers do we need in order to reach all the targets to drill the development wells? It's a bit early to say, but I would say that it would not be unreasonable to expect a unit development cost to be slightly better than Lac Da Vang. We'll update that when we know, probably about a year from now. That would suggest potentially less spending on wells. that would suggest potentially less spending on wells I will say, though, it is a very large structure, and it'll need multiple drilling centers. i will say though it is a very large structure and it'll need multiple drilling centers That's something we have to figure out is the exact extent of the reservoir to be developed. that's something we have to figure out is the exact extent of the reservoir to be developed How many drill centers do we need in order to reach all the targets to drill the development wells? how many drill centers do we need in order to reach all the targets to drill the development wells It's a bit early to say, but I would say that it would not be unreasonable to expect a unit development cost to be slightly better than Lac Da Vang. it's a bit early to say but i would say that it would not be unreasonable to expect a unit development cost to be slightly better than lac da vang We'll update that when we know, probably about a year from now. we'll update that when we know probably about a year from now

Speaker 6: The expiration period is still got a long way to go, and we're not concerned about that being an issue for us. We have lots of years left, and we can find that date. I don't recall it, but it's not in my mind 'cause it's not a big concern. The expiration period is still got a long way to go, and we're not concerned about that being an issue for us. the expiration period is still got a long way to go and we're not concerned about that being an issue for us We have lots of years left, and we can find that date. we have lots of years left and we can find that date I don't recall it, but it's not in my mind 'cause it's not a big concern. i don't recall it but it's not in my mind 'cause it's not a big concern

Speaker 1: Hi, guys. Thanks for taking my question. This is Aayush Gupta on behalf of Carlos Escalante. He apologizes for not being on. We'd like to ask about porosity. You have two successful flow tests on a basin where reservoir characterization, as pointed by some research paper, seems to point out Oligocene sands in the range of 5%-20%, with the mean towards the lower end. Why would you not disclose perhaps a range on that? Hi, guys. hi guys Thanks for taking my question. thanks for taking my question This is Aayush Gupta on behalf of Carlos Escalante. this is aayush gupta on behalf of carlos escalante He apologizes for not being on. he apologizes for not being on We'd like to ask about porosity. we'd like to ask about porosity You have two successful flow tests on a basin where reservoir characterization, as pointed by some research paper, seems to point out Oligocene sands in the range of 5%-20%, with the mean towards the lower end. you have two successful flow tests on a basin where reservoir characterization as pointed by some research paper seems to point out oligocene sands in the range of 5%-20% with the mean towards the lower end Why would you not disclose perhaps a range on that? why would you not disclose perhaps a range on that

Speaker 6: Let me start with an answer, and maybe Chris can add more color if necessary. We are hesitant to disclose one parameter about something that is, you know, that's related to one parameter over a very large field. What I would point you to is we've announced results from our drill stem tests, and we've flow tested the 1X well, 10,000 bbl a day, and two different flow tests summed together 12,000 bbl day for the 2X well, which gives us high confidence in a highly productive, highly permeable reservoir of tremendous quality. Probably those flow rates are better than the basin average from different reservoirs. It's probably on the order of three to five times higher production rate than has been commercially developed in the basin. We think that's a very concrete result. Let me start with an answer, and maybe Chris can add more color if necessary. let me start with an answer and maybe chris can add more color if necessary We are hesitant to disclose one parameter about something that is, you know, that's related to one parameter over a very large field. we are hesitant to disclose one parameter about something that is you know that's related to one parameter over a very large field What I would point you to is we've announced results from our drill stem tests, and we've flow tested the 1X well, 10,000 bbl a day, and two different flow tests summed together 12,000 bbl day for the 2X well, which gives us high confidence in a highly productive, highly permeable reservoir of tremendous quality. what i would point you to is we've announced results from our drill stem tests and we've flow tested the 1x well 10,000 bbl a day and two different flow tests summed together 12,000 bbl day for the 2x well which gives us high confidence in a highly productive highly permeable reservoir of tremendous quality Probably those flow rates are better than the basin average from different reservoirs. probably those flow rates are better than the basin average from different reservoirs It's probably on the order of three to five times higher production rate than has been commercially developed in the basin. it's probably on the order of three to five times higher production rate than has been commercially developed in the basin We think that's a very concrete result. we think that's a very concrete result In a reservoir of the scale we're talking about, we have multiple reservoirs. In these reservoirs, porosity is something that varies across the reservoir. We have so far two holes in the ground where we've encountered significant pay. Within the pay section, the porosity varies within just the well we're in. To come up with an average number where we have two small holes in an area the size of Manhattan is premature. We would rather get through our comprehensive appraisal program and come up with a much better model of what the average properties are. Having said that, I think we have high confidence that we have a highly productive, prolific reservoir here. Focusing on just one parameter is not, I would say, is not critical. In a reservoir of the scale we're talking about, we have multiple reservoirs. in a reservoir of the scale we're talking about we have multiple reservoirs In these reservoirs, porosity is something that varies across the reservoir. in these reservoirs porosity is something that varies across the reservoir We have so far two holes in the ground where we've encountered significant pay. we have so far two holes in the ground where we've encountered significant pay Within the pay section, the porosity varies within just the well we're in. within the pay section the porosity varies within just the well we're in To come up with an average number where we have two small holes in an area the size of Manhattan is premature. to come up with an average number where we have two small holes in an area the size of manhattan is premature We would rather get through our comprehensive appraisal program and come up with a much better model of what the average properties are. we would rather get through our comprehensive appraisal program and come up with a much better model of what the average properties are Having said that, I think we have high confidence that we have a highly productive, prolific reservoir here. having said that i think we have high confidence that we have a highly productive prolific reservoir here Focusing on just one parameter is not, I would say, is not critical. focusing on just one parameter is not i would say is not critical What is important ultimately is what is the oil in place and how much of the oil in place will be recovered. Porosity is one of about seven key parameters that are related to determining how much oil will come out of the ground. What is important ultimately is what is the oil in place and how much of the oil in place will be recovered. what is important ultimately is what is the oil in place and how much of the oil in place will be recovered Porosity is one of about seven key parameters that are related to determining how much oil will come out of the ground. porosity is one of about seven key parameters that are related to determining how much oil will come out of the ground

Speaker 8: Hey, guys. Just wanted to dive a little bit on exploration. We talk a lot about, you know, sort of appraisal at Hai Su Vang, and development of Lac Da Vang, but can you maybe just talk a little bit more color about what kind of an exploration program can look like? I think on your previous call, you guys talked about drilling more exploration wells between 2027 and 2029. You just mentioned the five-year window a bit ago. Presumably, you are just gonna be drilling kind of in around these hubs that you are developing. I think I did hear you say a little bit ago that prospect size at Lac Da Vang is kinda 20 million bbl-30 million bbl. Maybe you can just kind of characterize what you are looking for. Hey, guys. hey guys Just wanted to dive a little bit on exploration. just wanted to dive a little bit on exploration We talk a lot about, you know, sort of appraisal at Hai Su Vang, and development of Lac Da Vang, but can you maybe just talk a little bit more color about what kind of an exploration program can look like? we talk a lot about you know sort of appraisal at hai su vang and development of lac da vang but can you maybe just talk a little bit more color about what kind of an exploration program can look like I think on your previous call, you guys talked about drilling more exploration wells between 2027 and 2029. i think on your previous call you guys talked about drilling more exploration wells between 2027 and 2029 You just mentioned the five-year window a bit ago. you just mentioned the five-year window a bit ago Presumably, you are just gonna be drilling kind of in around these hubs that you are developing. presumably you are just gonna be drilling kind of in around these hubs that you are developing I think I did hear you say a little bit ago that prospect size at Lac Da Vang is kinda 20 million bbl-30 million bbl. i think i did hear you say a little bit ago that prospect size at lac da vang is kinda 20 million bbl-30 million bbl Maybe you can just kind of characterize what you are looking for. maybe you can just kind of characterize what you are looking for Is it more kind of smaller kinda satellite fields and everything gets tied back eventually? Is that the case for both hub developments? Are there any other sort of larger prospects left? Just hoping you can give us kind of an overview of what you guys are seeing from an exploration perspective. Is it more kind of smaller kinda satellite fields and everything gets tied back eventually? is it more kind of smaller kinda satellite fields and everything gets tied back eventually Is that the case for both hub developments? is that the case for both hub developments Are there any other sort of larger prospects left? are there any other sort of larger prospects left Just hoping you can give us kind of an overview of what you guys are seeing from an exploration perspective. just hoping you can give us kind of an overview of what you guys are seeing from an exploration perspective

Speaker 6: Leo, that's a great question, and it gives me an opportunity to give you some pretty good color here. We have one exploration well planned in Block 15-1/05 this year. That is the Lac Da Trang North, so White Camel North. That's a well we'll drill this year. What I expect is in the 2027 to 2029 time period, we are likely to come back here and have quite an active exploration program to test the remaining undrilled prospectivity on the block and set ourselves up for an optimal tieback development program. These fields. I think Lac Da Hong, preliminary results we said is probably in the 30 million bbl-60 million bblel range. The other fields, we have some work to do to kind of assess, you know, just how big they are. Leo, that's a great question, and it gives me an opportunity to give you some pretty good color here. leo that's a great question and it gives me an opportunity to give you some pretty good color here We have one exploration well planned in Block 15-1/05 this year. we have one exploration well planned in block 15-1/05 this year That is the Lac Da Trang North, so White Camel North. that is the lac da trang north so white camel north That's a well we'll drill this year. that's a well we'll drill this year What I expect is in the 2027 to 2029 time period, we are likely to come back here and have quite an active exploration program to test the remaining undrilled prospectivity on the block and set ourselves up for an optimal tieback development program. what i expect is in the 2027 to 2029 time period we are likely to come back here and have quite an active exploration program to test the remaining undrilled prospectivity on the block and set ourselves up for an optimal tieback development program These fields. these fields I think Lac Da Hong, preliminary results we said is probably in the 30 million bbl-60 million bblel range. i think lac da hong preliminary results we said is probably in the 30 million bbl-60 million bblel range The other fields, we have some work to do to kind of assess, you know, just how big they are. the other fields we have some work to do to kind of assess you know just how big they are What is important and what Franc tried to point out was we need somewhere less than 10 million barrels to have a tieback work. We're probably gonna find things that are 20 million bbl-40 million bbl, would be, you know, kind of a guess of the size of the future tiebacks there. What it does for us, it sets us up to fully test the block just like we did in our Sarawak Malaysia business, and then optimally plan a development where we, you know, efficiently develop all the total resource in the block over time. It's likely that's done with common infrastructure. The FSO and pipeline infrastructure almost certainly will be used in common. It's possible that we may need more processing equipment or expand the capacity of the Lac Da Vang development to accommodate future higher processing capacity. What is important and what Franc tried to point out was we need somewhere less than 10 million barrels to have a tieback work. what is important and what franc tried to point out was we need somewhere less than 10 million barrels to have a tieback work We're probably gonna find things that are 20 million bbl-40 million bbl, would be, you know, kind of a guess of the size of the future tiebacks there. we're probably gonna find things that are 20 million bbl-40 million bbl would be you know kind of a guess of the size of the future tiebacks there What it does for us, it sets us up to fully test the block just like we did in our Sarawak Malaysia business, and then optimally plan a development where we, you know, efficiently develop all the total resource in the block over time. what it does for us it sets us up to fully test the block just like we did in our sarawak malaysia business and then optimally plan a development where we you know efficiently develop all the total resource in the block over time It's likely that's done with common infrastructure. it's likely that's done with common infrastructure The FSO and pipeline infrastructure almost certainly will be used in common. the fso and pipeline infrastructure almost certainly will be used in common It's possible that we may need more processing equipment or expand the capacity of the Lac Da Vang development to accommodate future higher processing capacity. it's possible that we may need more processing equipment or expand the capacity of the lac da vang development to accommodate future higher processing capacity We may find a field that's large enough that it justifies its own processing platform, and we would just have common FSO and pipeline infrastructure. I think you'll see us focus sooner on testing the prospectivity in 15-1/05 and then probably pivot to the 15-2/17, where, as you can see from our slides, there's a lot of remaining prospectivity to test. The timing is probably more important in 15-1/05 because of the nature of an ability to move into tieback mode quickly with first oil in Hai Su Vang obviously coming probably in the early 2030s or maybe 2030. We'll probably see us be more active in 15-1/05 and then pivot later to explore more in 15-2/17. We may find a field that's large enough that it justifies its own processing platform, and we would just have common FSO and pipeline infrastructure. we may find a field that's large enough that it justifies its own processing platform and we would just have common fso and pipeline infrastructure I think you'll see us focus sooner on testing the prospectivity in 15-1/05 and then probably pivot to the 15-2/17, where, as you can see from our slides, there's a lot of remaining prospectivity to test. i think you'll see us focus sooner on testing the prospectivity in 15-1/05 and then probably pivot to the 15-2/17 where as you can see from our slides there's a lot of remaining prospectivity to test The timing is probably more important in 15-1/05 because of the nature of an ability to move into tieback mode quickly with first oil in Hai Su Vang obviously coming probably in the early 2030s or maybe 2030. the timing is probably more important in 15-1/05 because of the nature of an ability to move into tieback mode quickly with first oil in hai su vang obviously coming probably in the early 2030s or maybe 2030 We'll probably see us be more active in 15-1/05 and then pivot later to explore more in 15-2/17. we'll probably see us be more active in 15-1/05 and then pivot later to explore more in 15-2/17
