directionally deviating approximately 1,640 meters east of the KG#8
platform to a total depth of 5,258 meters MD (4,879 meters total vertical
depth or "TVD") and was then cased to total depth with a 7 inch
liner.
|
o
|
Testing
of the KG#28 appraisal well entailed the completion of 3 drill stem tests
("DST’s").
|
o
|
DST-1
involved 49.5 meters of perforations across the interval depth from
5,037.5 to 5,112 meters measured depth ("MD"). During clean-up

Atwood
Beacon Rig
|
o
|
GSPC
has entered into a 25 month contract for the Atwood Beacon jack-up
drilling rig ("Atwood") to drill additional exploration wells on the KG
Offshore Block.
|
o
|
On
January 3, 2007, the Atwood rig commenced drilling its first well, the
KG#16 exploratory well, which was drilled to a total depth ("TD") of 5,372
meters MD. The KG#16 well is situated in shallow water of
approximately 109 meters and is approximately 5 kilometers east of the
KG#8 platform.
|
o
|
The testing program was completed
on August 1, 2007. DST-1 and DST-1A involved 31 meters and 21
meters of perforations across the interval depth from 4,951 – 5,046 and
4,800 – 4,833.5 meters MD respectively. Both zones were tight
and did not flow hydrocarbons to the surface. DST-2 was chosen
from encouraging independent log analyses over the interval depth of 4,642
to 4,754 meters MD but was abandoned without perforating due to
operational problems. DST-3 involved 75 meters of perforations
over the interval depth of 4,483 to 4,590 meters MD at a stabilized flow
rate of 2.21 MMSCFD of gas and 15 BBLS/D of condensate at a FWHP of 880
psi through a 24/64 inch choke. DST-4 involved 133 meters of
perforations over the interval depth of 4,302 to 4,435 meters measured
depth at a stabilized flow rate of 2.52 MMSCFD of gas and 106 BBLS/D of
condensate at a FWHP of 1,880 psi through a 16/64 choke.
|
o
|
On
September 24, 2007, GSPC informed the GOI that the discovery of
hydrocarbons in the KG#16 well is of potential commercial interest and
merits further appraisal, however, for technical reasons, the KG#16 well
has been presently abandoned with the possibility of attempting to
re-enter the well at a later date.
|
o
|
On
September 20, 2007, the Atwood Rig spud the KG#31 well. The
surface location of KG#31 well is situated approximately 3 kilometers
north of the KG#8 platform in shallow waters of approximately 62.5 meters
in depth. The KG#31 well was drilled directionally 600 meters
north-west of the present surface location to a depth of 3,892 meters TVD
(4,058 meters MD), to test the Upper Cretaceous. Based on log
results, GSPC elected to go up-hole to the 13-3/8" casing shoe at 2,272.5
meters MD and set a bridge plug and whip stock the
well.
|
|
GSPC
commenced drilling the KG#31 Side Track-1 ("KG#31 ST-1") well in a more
horizontal direction below the 13-3/8" casing shoe directionally 900
meters west of the present surface location, to an approximate TVD of
4,800 meters to target the Lower Cretaceous. On November 22,
2007, while drilling the KG#31 ST-1 well at 3,855 meters MD (3,671 meters
TVD), the well took a kick, possibly indicating a presence of hydrocarbons
in the Upper Cretaceous in this area. Due to drilling
complications, the well was ultimately plugged back with cement up to
3,750 meters MD. Thereafter, the KG#31 ST-1 well was logged and cased with
9-5/8" casing down to 3,750 meters MD. After detailed review of
the available data, it was decided by GSPC to continue drilling in an
attempt to test the Upper Cretaceous zone not previously tested in the
KG#31 ST-1 well.
|
|
GSPC
elected to side-track the well, and commenced drilling the KG#31 Side
Track-2 (KG#31 ST-2) well on December 29, 2007, with an 8-1/2" drill bit
below the 9-5/8" casing shoe from approximately 3,750 meters MD to 3,990
meters MD.

Deep
Driller 1 Rig
|
o
|
GSPC
contracted the Deep Driller 1 drilling rig ("DD#1") which is owned by
Sinvest ASA out of Norway and is a jack-up rig capable of operating in
water depths of approximately 120 meters. The term of the
contract is for two years from the date of spud of the first
well.
|
o
|
On
May 8, 2007, GSPC commenced drilling the KG#30 exploratory well with the
DD#1 rig which was drilled vertically to a TVD of 3,951
meters. The KG#30 well was situated approximately 15.5
kilometers northeast of the KG#11 well and was the first exploratory well
to test the deepest part of the northern graben in the KG Offshore
Block. On August 13, 2007, GSPC abandoned the KG#30 well as the
testing results did not reveal sufficient hydrocarbons at this
location.
|
o
|
The
DD#1 Rig was thereafter moved to a location approximately 7.5 kilometers
northeast of the KG#8 platform in shallow waters of approximately 91
meters in depth, where, on August 27, 2007, GSPC commenced the drilling of
the KG#22 well. The KG#22 well was originally intended to be
drilled directionally to approximately 5,974 meters
MD (approximately 5,078 meters TVD) deviating approximately
2,900 meters southeast of the KG#22 well surface
location.
|
o
|
The
KG#22 well was drilled to approximately 2,800 meters MD when the drill
string became stuck. GSPC elected to cut the drilling string
and side-track the well.
|
|
The
KG#22 ST-1 commenced drilling directionally from 1,275 meters MD. The
KG#22 ST-1 was drilled and cased with 9-5/8" casing to approximately 4,396
meters MD. On November 27, 2007, drilling continued with an
8-1/2" drill bit. On December 6, 2007, the well saw a gas kick at 4,776 m
MD (4121.65 m TVD). This was successfully controlled and
drilling resumed reaching 5,576 meters MD by January 15,
2008. Upon freeing the drill string after encountering a
mechanical problem, the hole was plugged back with cement to approximately
4,415 meters MD. On January 29, 2008, the KG#22 ST-2 commenced
drilling.

We
will experience failures to discover oil and gas in commercial
quantities;
|
·
|
There
are uncertainties as to the costs to be incurred in our exploratory
drilling activities, cost overruns are possible and we may encounter
mechanical difficulties and failures in completing
wells;
|
·
|
There
are uncertain costs inherent in drilling into unknown formations, such as
over-pressured zones, high temperatures and tools lost in the hole;
and
|
·
|
We
may make changes in our drilling plans and locations as a result of prior
exploratory drilling.
|
·
|
The
venture participants are required to complete certain minimum work
programs during the two or three phases of the terms of the
PSCs. In the event the venture participants fail to fulfill any
of these minimum work programs, the parties to the venture must pay to the
GOI their proportionate share of the amount that would be required to
complete the minimum work program. Accordingly, we could be
called upon to pay our proportionate share of the estimated costs of any
incomplete work programs.
|
·
|
Until
such time as the GOI attains self sufficiency in the production of crude
oil and condensate and is able to meet its national demand, the parties to
the venture are required to sell in the Indian domestic market their
entitlement under the PSCs to crude oil and condensate produced from the
exploration blocks. In addition, the Indian domestic market has
the first call on natural gas produced from the exploration blocks and the
discovery and production of natural gas must be made in the context of the
government’s policy of utilization of natural gas and take into account
the objectives of the government to develop its resources in the most
efficient manner and promote conservation
measures. Accordingly, this provision could interfere with our
ability to realize the maximum price for our share of production of
hydrocarbons;
|
·
|
The
parties to each agreement that are not Indian companies, which includes
us, are required to negotiate technical assistance agreements with the GOI
or its nominee whereby such foreign company can render technical
assistance and make available commercially available technical information
of a proprietary nature for use in India by the government or its nominee,
subject, among other things, to confidentiality
restrictions. Although not intended, this could increase each
venture’s and our cost of operations;
and
|
·
|
The
parties to each venture are required to give preference, including the use
of tender procedures, to the purchase and use of goods manufactured,
produced or supplied in India provided that such goods are available on
equal or better terms than imported goods, and to employ Indian
subcontractors having the required skills insofar as their services are
available on comparable standards and at competitive prices and
terms. Although not intended, this could increase the ventures
and our cost of operations.

|
We
cannot assure you that we will be successful in joining any further
ventures seeking to be granted PSCs by the GOI or that we will be
successful in acquiring interests in existing
ventures.
|
·
|
We
cannot assure you that we will obtain all required consents, waivers and
extensions from the DGH or GOI as and when required to maintain compliance
with our PSCs , that we may not be adversely affected by any delays we may
experience in receiving those consents, waivers and extensions, that we
may not incur liabilities under the PSCs for our failure to maintain
compliance with and timely complete the related work programs, or that
GSPC may not be successful in its efforts to obtain payment from us on
account of exploration costs it has expended on the KG Offshore Block for
which it asserts we are liable or otherwise seek to hold us in breach of
that PSC or commence arbitration proceedings against
us.

·
|
We
cannot assure you that the outcome of testing of one or more wells on the
exploration blocks under our PSCs will be satisfactory and result in
commercially-productive wells or that any further wells drilled will have

Net
loss per share is calculated based upon the weighted-average number of
shares outstanding during the period. The treasury stock method
is used to determine the dilutive effect of the stock
options. The treasury stock method assumes any proceeds
obtained upon exercise of options would be used to purchase common shares
at the average market price during the period. There are no
differences between net loss and the weighted-average number of shares
used in the calculation of the basic net loss per share and those used in
the calculation of diluted net loss per share as the effect of the options
and warrants on the diluted net loss per share calculations is
anti-dilutive for all periods
presented.
|
|
Comprehensive
loss includes all changes in equity except those resulting from
investments made by owners and distributions to
owners. Comprehensive loss consists only of net loss for all
periods presented.
|
|
f)
|
Use
of estimates
|
|
The
preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Significant estimates and
assumptions are used for, the useful lives of property and equipment,
income tax valuation allowances, valuation of stock-based compensation,
asset retirement obligations, realizable value of oil and gas interests
and contingencies. Actual results may differ from these
estimated amounts.
|
|
g)
|
Financial
instruments
|
|
The
Company has estimated the fair value of its financial instruments which
include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable,
accounts payable and due to related companies. The Company used
market information available as at period end to determine that the
carrying amounts of such financial instruments approximate fair value in
all cases. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not
exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from its
financial instruments.
|
|
Cash
and cash equivalents include cash on hand, balances with banks and
short-term deposits with original maturities of three months or
less.
|
|
The
Company translates integrated foreign operations into the functional
currency of the parent. Monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at
rates of exchange in effect at the date of the balance
sheet. Non-monetary items are translated at the rate of
exchange in effect when the assets are acquired or obligations
incurred. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates
in effect during the period, with the exception of depreciation which is
translated at historic rates. Exchange gains and losses are
charged to operations.
|
|
The
Company follows the liability method of tax allocation. Under
this method, assets and liabilities are determined based on differences
between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its carrying value
using enacted tax rates anticipated to apply in the periods when the
temporary differences are expected to
reverse.

Prior
to the adoption of FAS 123(R), the Company used the intrinsic value method
of accounting for employee and director stock-based compensation. As
all options have been granted at exercise prices based on the market value
of the Company's common shares at the date of grant, no compensation cost
was recognized under the intrinsic value based method of
accounting. For the year ended December 31, 2005, and the period from
inception August 21, 2002 to December 31, 2005, had employee compensation
expense been determined based on the fair value at the grant date
consistent with FAS 123 pro-forma net loss and pro-forma net loss per

At
January 1, 2006, the impact of the adoption of FAS123(R) required the
Company to recognize a charge for past stock-based compensation options
granted of US$367,596 over the next 3 years in accordance with their
respective vesting periods. In the year ended December 31, 2007
US$48,306 (December 31, 2006 - US$211,128) of this charge was recognized
in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as general and administrative
expense. This resulted in an increase in the net loss and
comprehensive loss for the respective periods in the same amount and no
material impact on the net loss per share – basic and diluted for the
periods. In the year ended December 31, 2007 US$nil (December
31, 2006 - US$89,900) of this charge was capitalized in the Consolidated
Balance Sheets as Oil and gas interests, not subject to
depletion.
|
|

|
At
December 31, 2007, the total compensation cost related to non-vested
awards not yet recognized was US$1,348,523 (December 31, 2006 –
US$2,485,620) which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of
0.7 years. The total fair value of all options vested during
the year December 31, 2007 was US$1,870,289 (year ended December 31, 2006
- US$1,523,840).
