1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The financial statements presented in this Form 10-Q comprise MNP Petroleum Corporation (“MNP” or the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Group”). The unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and present our financial position, results of operations, cash flows and changes in stockholder’s equity. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

The Company is in the business of exploring for oil and gas, primarily in Central and East Asia. If the Company discovers sufficient reserves of oil or gas, it intends to exploit them. The Company has not commenced planned principal operations and therefore has not realized any revenues to date. The Company carries out its operations both directly and through participation in ventures with other oil and gas companies. It is actively involved in exploration projects in Tajikistan and Mongolia. In addition, the Company recently purchased a stake in producing oilfields in Tajikistan. As the Company currently depends upon funding from various sources to continue operations and to implement its growth strategy, the Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including failing to secure additional funding to operationalize the Company’s licenses.

The Company, formerly known as Express Systems Corporation, was incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 9, 1998.

On April 10, 2007, the Company completed the a share exchange transaction whereby it acquired its then sole subsidiary DWM Petroleum AG, Baar (“DWM Petroleum”) pursuant to an exchange agreement signed in November 2006 whereby 100% of the shares of DWM Petroleum were exchanged for 80,000,000 common shares of the Company. As part of the closing of this exchange transaction, the Company issued 800,000 shares as finders’ fees at the closing price of USD 3.20.

The acquisition of DWM Petroleum was accounted for as a merger of a private operating company into a non-operating public shell. Consequently, the Company is the continuing legal registrant for regulatory purposes and DWM Petroleum is treated as the continuing accounting acquirer for accounting and reporting purposes. The assets and liabilities of DWM Petroleum remained at historic cost. Under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, in transactions involving the merger of a private operating company into a non-operating public shell, the transaction is equivalent to the issuance of stock by DWM Petroleum for the net monetary assets of the Company, accompanied by a recapitalization. The accounting is identical to a reverse acquisition, except that no goodwill or other intangibles are recorded.

The Company has a focused strategy on exploration and developing oil and gas resources in Central Asia and East Asia (Tajikistan and Mongolia).

2. GOING CONCERN

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Group will continue as a going concern. The Group has no operating income and therefore will remain dependent upon continued funding from its shareholders or other sources. The Company’s cash balance as of September 30, 2015 was USD 212,491, of which USD 97,998 has been restricted leaving a balance of USD 114,493.

These matters raise substantial doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Based on the Group’s expected monthly burn rate of USD 352,364 on basic operational activities, management estimates that the Company has sufficient working capital to fund operations for less than one month.

In order to continue to fund operations for the next twelve months and implement the work program for the Group’s projects in Central Asia as well as to finance continuing operations, the Group will require further funds.

On October 29, 2015 the Company entered into an Investment Agreement with Seven and Seven IST Petro Kimya (“Seven & Seven”) providing for a staged private placement of equity and convertible debt for gross proceeds of up to EUR 250 million (approx. US$ 266 million). Both parties are working on closing the transaction.

Seven & Seven and its subsidiaries have investments and had investments in energy and oil and gas operations in Kazakhstan and the Middle East as well as other investments in various industry sectors. Seven & Seven is incorporated under the laws of Turkey and is headquartered in Istanbul.

If the Company is not able to raise the required funds, it may consider other alternatives, including a possible farm-out of one or more of its projects in order to reduce short term financial commitments. If the Company is unable to obtain the funding that it needs or arrive at an acceptable alternative solution, the Company will not be able to continue its business. In addition, any equity financing may be dilutive to shareholders, and debt financing, if available, will increase expenses and may involve restrictive covenants. The Company will be required to raise additional capital on terms which are uncertain, especially under the current capital market conditions. If the Company is unable to obtain capital or is required to raise it on undesirable terms, it may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying financial data as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, has been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

The complete accounting policies followed by the Group are set forth in Note 3 to the audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Group‘s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosures, if any, of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments, except as disclosed herein) necessary to present a fair statement of financial position as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 and statement of shareholders’ equity for the period from January 1, 2015 to September 30, 2015, as applicable, have been made. The result of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 is not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future periods.

On January 15, 2015, DWM Petroleum AG, the Company’s wholly-owned Swiss subsidiary, acquired a 65% equity interest in EPA.at Beteiligungsgesellschaft mbH (“EPA”). The details of this acquisition are discussed in note 7 to these financial statements, below. Due to this acquisition, the Group has updated its accounting policies as follows.

Investments

Investments in the common stock of entities in which the company owns a minority interest and is unable to exercise significant influence are accounted for using the cost method. If the Company is unable to obtain consolidated financial statements on a timely basis, it accounts for its investments using the cost method.

The fair value of the Company’s cost method investment is not estimated as there have been no identified events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment and the Company has determined that it is not practicable to estimate the fair value of the investment at this time. Any earnings distributed by the investee are presented as dividend income on the statements of comprehensive loss.

Reclassifications

In the prior year balance sheet an amount of USD 586,697 was reclassified from “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” to “Other non-current assets” to conform to the current period presentation since this amount constitutes prepayments for “Oil and gas properties (unproved)” and therefore is non-current in nature.

4. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

In August 2014, the FASB released Accounting Standards Update 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. This ASU requires management to determine whether substantial doubt exists regarding the entity’s going concern presumption. If substantial doubt exists but is not alleviated by management’s plans, the footnotes must specifically state that “there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the financial statements are issued.” In addition, if substantial doubt exists entities must disclose (a) principal conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern (before consideration of management’s plans, if any); (b) management’s evaluation of the significance of those conditions or events in relation to the entity’s ability to meet its obligations; and (c) management’s plans that are intended to mitigate the conditions or events that raise substantial doubt, or that did alleviate substantial doubt, about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. This ASU applies prospectively to all entities for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and to annual and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted.

The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-15 and has not adopted it for this reporting period. There have been no other new accounting pronouncements to date in 2015 that are expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

7. INVESTMENT

On January 15, 2015, DWM Petroleum AG acquired a 65% interest in EPA.at Beteiligungsgesellschaft mbH (“EPA”) for the purpose of diversifying its portfolio of oil and gas assets. Total consideration paid was USD 12,000,000.

EPA, a company registered in Vienna, Austria, holds a 57.42% interest in the company Petroleum Sugd LLC (“PSL”), which owns 10 producing oil and gas fields in the north of Tajikistan. Through its investment, EPA participates in the revenues from the sale of oil and gas.

The acquisition of EPA was accounted for using the cost method as although the Company owns a 65% equity interest, under ASC 810, EPA is considered to be a variable interest entity and the other EPA shareholder has veto rights which limit the power of the Company to make significant decisions. In addition, as Petroleum Sugd LLC operates in the Republic of Tajikistan it is not subject to such stringent reporting deadlines as in the US. The difference between the financial reporting dates of the investee and the Company is over the allowed period in accordance with ASC 323, and as such the investment may not be presented under the equity method.

Investments at cost (in USD)	Sep 30, 2015	Dec 31, 2014
EPA	12,000,000	-
Total investments at cost	12,000,000	-

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2015, the investment balance has not been evaluated for impairment.

On May 28, 2014, the Company wrote to the Petroleum Authority of Mongolia requesting the moratorium be extended an additional year. As at September 30, 2015, the Company has not received any response to its request.

During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company’s capitalized balance of USD 687,645 consisted of the following: well site preparation costs of Kayrakkum B in the Republic of Tajikistan in the amount of USD 514,368 and one well design and the cost of certain drilling equipment in Mongolia in the amount USD 173,277.

Additionally, as of September 30, 2015, the Company has reclassed USD 315,553 from prepaid expenses to oil and gas properties for casings and well heads that have been received, and it capitalized USD 8,418 relating to the storage of this well site equipment in the Republic of Tajikistan.

9. STOCK COMPENSATION PROGRAM

Amended 2011 Stock Option Plan

The Amended 2011 Stock Option Plan, which was approved at Annual Shareholders Meeting dated February 20, 2014, authorizes the Company to issue options to purchase such number of the Company’s common shares as is equal to an aggregate, together with options issued under any prior plan, of up to 34,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (it is the type of stock option plan referred to as a “fixed” stock option plan).

If all or any portion of any stock option granted under the 2011 Stock Option Plan expires or terminates without having been exercised in full, the unexercised balance will be returned to the pool of stock available for grant under the 2011 Stock Option Plan.

Recognition of Stock-based Compensation Costs

Stock-based compensation costs are recognized in earnings using the fair-value based method for all awards granted. For employees fair value is estimated at the grant date and for non-employees fair value is re-measured at each reporting date. Compensation costs for unvested stock options and unvested share grants are expensed over the requisite service period on a straight-line basis.

Grants

9.1. Stock Option Grants

The Company calculates the fair value of options granted by applying the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Expected volatility is based on the Company’s own historical share price volatility. The Company’s share price data can be traced back to April 2, 2007, and the Company believes that this set of data is sufficient to determine expected volatility as input for the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

During the nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 the Company did not grant any options.

The following table shows the Company‘s outstanding and exercisable stock options as of September 30, 2015:

Outstanding Options 2015	Shares under option	Weighted-average	Weighted-average

12. COMMITMENTS & CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Legal actions and claims (Kyrgyz Republic, Republic of Tajikistan, Mongolia)

In the ordinary course of business, members of the Group doing business in Mongolia, Republic of Tajikistan, and the Kyrgyz Republic may be subject to legal actions and complaints. Management believes that the ultimate liability, if any, arising from such actions or complaints will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, the results of future operations or cash flows of the associates/subsidiaries in Mongolia, Republic of Tajikistan, and the Kyrgyz Republic.

Management believes that the members of the Group are in substantial compliance with the tax laws affecting their respective operations in the Kyrgyz Republic, Republic of Tajikistan and Mongolia. However, the risk remains that relevant authorities could take differing positions with regards to interpretative issues.

Work program and social responsibility project

On September 10, 2014, the governor of the Farkhor district of Tajikistan decreed that EPA has a two year funding obligation related to a social responsibility project concerning the construction of a secondary school in this district.

Additionally, in the fourth quarter of 2014, Petroleum Sugd LLC completed its work program budget. EPA, as a 57.42% owner of Petroleum Sugd has a funding obligation that amounts to USD 14.9 million relating to its portion of this work program for Petroleum Sugd in Tajikistan. The Company agreed to cover these commitments on EPA’s behalf under a loan structure.

13. PERSONNEL COSTS AND EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Defined benefit plan

The Company maintains Swiss defined benefit plans for eight of its employees. These plans are part of independent collective funds providing pensions combined with life and disability insurance. The assets of the funded plans are held independently of the Company’s assets in a legally distinct and independent collective trust fund which serves various unrelated employers. The funds’ benefit obligations are fully reinsured by AXA Winterthur Insurance Company. The plans are valued by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The liabilities correspond to the projected benefit obligations of which the discounted net present value is calculated based on years of employment, expected salary increases, and pension adjustments.

During the nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company made cash contributions of USD 128,121 and USD 121,407, respectively, to its defined benefit pension plan. The Company does not expect to make any additional cash contributions to its defined benefit pension plans during the remainder of 2015.

14. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

14.1. Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. The Company holds no financial assets or liabilities carried at fair value as of September 30, 2015.

Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value as of December 31, 2014:

Financial assets 2014 (in USD)	Level 1	Level 2	Level 3
Investment in associate (Petromanas)	206,382	-	-
Total	206,382	-	-

14.2. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

In addition to the methods and assumptions the Company uses to record the fair value of financial instruments as discussed in the Fair Value Measurements section above, the Company used the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of its financial instruments.

	•	Cash and cash equivalents – carrying amount approximated fair value.
	•	Restricted cash – carrying amount approximated fair value.
	•	Accounts receivable – carrying amount approximated fair value.
	•	Investment in Petromanas – the fair value was calculated based on quoted market prices.
	•	Accounts Payable – carrying amount approximated fair value.

The fair value of the Company’s financial instruments is presented in the table below (in USD):

	Sep 30, 2015		Dec 31, 2014		Fair Value	Reference

15. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share result by dividing the Company’s net income (or net loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the contemplated period. Diluted earnings per share are calculated applying the treasury stock method. When there is a net income, dilutive effects of all stock-based compensation awards or participating financial instruments are considered. When the Company posts a loss, basic loss per share equals diluted loss per share.

The following table depicts how the denominator for the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share was determined under the treasury stock method:

The following discussion and analysis provides a narrative about our financial performance and condition that should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in this quarterly report.

Overview of Business Operations

We are in the business of exploring for and producing oil and gas, primarily in Central and East Asia. If we discover sufficient reserves of oil and/or gas, we intend to exploit them. Although we are currently focused primarily on projects located in certain geographic regions, we remain open to attractive opportunities in other areas. Since the acquisition of 65% of the equity in EPA, we have a 37.32% working interest in ten oil fields located in the Fergana basin in Tajikistan.

We carry out our operations both directly and through participation in ventures with other oil and gas companies. We are actively involved in projects in Mongolia and Tajikistan.

We have no operating income to date, however, we are eligible to any profit or loss from our investment in EPA. Therefore, we depend upon funding from various sources to continue operations and to implement our established work program.

Results of Operations (the nine month period ended September 30, 2015 compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 2014)

Net income/net loss

Net loss for the nine month period ended September 30, 2015 was USD 2,822,498 compared to net loss of USD 3,061,413 for the same period in 2014. This decrease of USD 238,915 was primarily attributable to a change in fair value of our investment in Petromanas and an overall reduction in operating expenses.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses for the nine month period ended September 30, 2015, decreased to USD 2,871,015 from USD 4,576,806 reported for the same period in 2014. This is a decrease of 37% in our total operating expenses and is mainly due to reduction in exploration costs, consulting fees and general administrative costs.

Personnel costs

For the nine month period ended September 30, 2015, personnel costs increased to USD 1,226,013 from USD 1,180,666 for the same period in 2014. This increase of 4% is attributable to higher costs related to our staff in Switzerland.

Exploration costs

For the nine month period ended September 30, 2015, we incurred exploration costs of USD 205,428 as compared to USD 1,178,469 for the same period in 2014. This is a decrease of 83% and is due to decreased exploration activity at our project in Tajikistan.

Consulting fees

For the nine month period ended September 30, 2015, we incurred consulting fees of USD 665,167 as compared to consulting fees of USD 1,132,519 for the same period in 2014. This is a decrease of 41% and is primarily attributable to a reduction in consulting fees related to regulatory, legal and administration services.

Administrative costs

For the nine month period ended September 30, 2015, we recorded administrative costs of USD 746,060 compared to USD 1,048,395 for the same period in 2014. This decrease of 29% is mainly attributable to a reduction in travel costs, computer system costs and bank charges.

Non-operating income/expense

For the nine month period ended September 30, 2015, we recorded a non-operating income of USD 48,517 compared to a non-operating income of USD 1,524,950 for the same period in 2014. This is a decrease of USD 1,476,433 and is mainly attributable to a change in the value of our investment in Petromanas.

For the nine month period ended September 30, 2015, we recorded a decrease in fair value of investment in associate (Petromanas) of USD 18,572 compared to an increase in fair value of investment in associate of USD 1,714,684 for the same period in 2014.

Results of Operations (the three month period ended September 30, 2015 compared to the three month period ended September 30, 2014)

Net income/net loss

Net loss for the three month period ended September 30, 2015 was USD 755,895 compared to net loss of USD 2,731,215 for the same period in 2014. This increase of USD 1,975,320 was primarily due to a change in fair value of our investment in Petromanas.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses for the three month period ended September 30, 2015, decreased to USD 768,951 from USD 1,610,680 reported for the same period in 2014. This is a decrease of 52% in our total operating expenses and is mainly due to reduction in exploration costs, administration costs and consulting fees.

Personnel costs

For the three month period ended September 30, 2015, personnel costs increased to USD 378,082 from USD 403,644 for the same period in 2014. This decrease of 6% is attributable to lower costs related to our staff in Switzerland as well as our operations in Tajikistan.

Exploration costs

For the three month period ended September 30, 2015, we recorded an exploration income of USD 23,895 as compared to exploration costs of USD 516,405 for the same period in 2014. This is a decrease of 105% and is due to decreased exploration activity at our project in Tajikistan and a refund for exploration equipment that was paid for and expensed in previous years.

Consulting fees

For the three month period ended September 30, 2015, we incurred consulting fees of USD 214,498 as compared to consulting fees of USD 363,052 for the same period in 2014. This is a decrease of 41% and is primarily attributable to a reduction in consulting fees related to regulatory, legal and administration services.

Administrative costs

For the three month period ended September 30, 2015, we recorded administrative costs of USD 190,895 compared to USD 315,092 for the same period in 2014. This decrease of 39% is mainly attributable to a reduction in travel costs, computer system costs and bank charges.

Non-operating income/expense

For the three month period ended September 30, 2015, we recorded a non-operating income of USD 13,056 compared to a non-operating loss of USD 1,116,067 for the same period in 2014. This is an increase of USD 1,129,123 and is mainly attributable to exchange difference and the Company no longer holding an investment in Petromanas.

As all our shares of Petromanas were sold before September 30, 2015, we did not record a change in fair value of investment in associate for the 3 month period ended September 30, 2015, compared to a decrease in fair value of investment in associate of USD 971,744 for the same period in 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash balance as of September 30, 2015 was USD 114,493. Shareholders’ equity as of September 30, 2015 was USD 10,904,568. As of September 30, 2015, total current assets were USD 261,633 and total current liabilities were USD 2,662,428, resulting in negative net working capital of USD 2,400,795. Of our cash balance at September 30, 2015, USD 114,493 was on bank accounts of MNP Petroleum Corp. and its subsidiaries. Since our company considers foreign subsidiaries to be permanently invested, taxes will be due in the event of repatriation.

We initially owned 200,000,000 shares of Petromanas Energy. Between July 2012 and September 2013, we sold 100,000,000 of these shares to various purchasers. After the sale of a further 4,000,000 Petromanas shares on October 25, 2013, 46,000,000 Petromanas shares on November 5, 2013, 42,000,000 between February 26, 2014 and March 6, 2014 respectively and a further 8,000,000 between March 16, 2014 and April 8, 2015, we no longer hold any common shares of Petromanas.

Our monthly burn rate (excluding exploration, drilling equipment) amounts to approximately USD 352,364 (corporate USD 240,097, ventures USD 112,267). Considering our net working capital, we believe that we are able to fund our planned operations for less than one month.

EPA.at Beteiligungsgesellschaft mbH

On January 15, 2015, our subsidiary, DWM Petroleum AG acquired a 65% equity interest in EPA for the purpose of diversifying our portfolio of oil and gas assets. Total consideration paid was USD 12,000,000. The purchase price was partially funded through available cash resources as well as from the proceeds from the sale of a separate investment.

EPA, a company registered in Vienna, Austria, holds a 57.42% interest in the company Petroleum Sugd LLC, which owns 10 producing oil and gas fields in the north of Tajikistan. Through its equity investment, EPA participates indirectly in the profits from the sale of oil and gas.

A field development program for the first five years has been developed. This program consists of light work overs (such as changing pumps, tubing, pumping units and clean ups), heavy work overs (plug backs, reperforations, stimulations, fishing and casing repairs) and new wells mainly in the shallow fields. The program will also include replacing the gathering lines, the pumping units and setting up the necessary operating facilities.

The company will initially focus on the low risk shallow fields and will then gradually move to the deeper fields.

CJS Somon Oil, Tajikistan

The Production Sharing Contract for the Western and Northwestern Licenses was ratified in May 2012. Before the ratification, the company acquired 1,310 Km of onshore and offshore 2D seismic, including regional as well as prospect related 2D seismic. The survey was very complex due to the different landscapes which had to be covered. It consisted of vibro-seismic, dynamite seismic and offshore seismic on Lake Kayrakkum.

Our interest in the Somon Oil project was fully carried by Santos International Ventures Pty Ltd pursuant to a 2007 Option Agreement but, on December 21, 2012, Santos International informed us that it had decided not to pursue its option. Santos International continued to fund Somon Oil’s operations through January, 2013. During 2013 Santos transferred all data to DWM Petroleum and Somon Oil. Reprocessing and reinterpretation resulted in a new sequence of drilling candidates. Based on its review of the data, Somon Oil continues to be confident in the project’s high exploration potential and we are actively working on establishing a new consortium. There are no liquidated damages in case of failure. On January 16, 2014, Somon Oil entered into a contract with JSC Sugdnaftugaz for the construction of the drilling location and the access road for the Kayrakkum B exploration well. The work at the Kayrakkum B well site was completed without incident in June 2014. On March 20, 2014, Somon Oil entered into a purchase agreement for the well head and the first two casing sections for Kayrakkum B, with Dongying Qihai Petroleum Engineering Co., Ltd, based in the PR of China. After the manufacturing, all materials were delivered to Mahram Base, close to the Kayrakkum B well site location, for storage. On June 24 and 26, 2015, both casing sections were delivered and unloaded at Mahram Base. The ordered well head sections were completed in June 2015 and arrived in July 2015 at Mahram Base. Upon the extension of the Western License in February 2015, for three years (until July 25, 2017), we continued with the second contract for casings. The third contract for the supply of the remaining casings was entered into on February 27, 2015.

Mongolia

Early in 2012, Gobi Energy Partners LLC focused on the integration and interpretation of seismic data acquired in 2011. From April to May 2012, it conducted a passive seismic campaign using low-frequency spectroscopy to support the seismic. From June to August, 2012, Gobi Energy also conducted a 2D seismic acquisition (vibroseis) program covering 335 kilometers over both blocks.

Gobi Energy spudded its first well, Ger Chuluu A1, on August 23, 2012. It stopped drilling at a depth of 1098 meters without having encountered any seal. The initially planned second well East Sainshand A1 was located in another sub-basin 170 kilometers away. In order to have a conclusive evaluation of the Ger Chuluu sub-basin, Gobi Energy decided to drill a second well before moving to East Sainshand. Ger Chuluu D1, the second well in the Ger Chuluu sub-basin, was spudded on September 21, 2012. Drilling was stopped after reaching 600 meters without any hydrocarbon shows. After logging, the well was plugged and abandoned.

Gobi Energy had originally focused on six sub-basins in Mongolia; after drilling in the Ger Chuluu sub basin and conducting additional studies, Gobi Energy began to focus on two sub basins, East and West Sainshand. In order to enlarge the area to define more prospects to drill the outstanding commitments, Gobi Energy signed a moratorium with the government of Mongolia for the duration of one year ending May 2014. During this period Gobi Energy expected the government to award the company with relinquished areas from adjacent blocks. The government of Mongolia has not taken a decision on Gobi Energy’s application to expand its exploration acreage before the end of the moratorium. Consequently, Gobi Energy has applied for an extension of the moratorium for one additional year.
