Red Sea Oil has been in Libya since 1994 and has had a major oil discovery (71 million barrels proven and probable recoverable reserves - certified by Sproule International). The oil is light and very high quality (42 degree API). The new discovery is now in development with production expected to commence within the next 18 months. Peak production from these fields is estimated at 22,000 bpd. Several additional leads and prospects have been identified within Red Sea Oil's concession area and exploration drilling will resume in the third quarter of 1999.
