Business Description

VAALCO Energy, Inc. is a Delaware corporation, which was incorporated in 1985. It is an independent energy company, which is mainly engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development and production of crude oil and natural gas. It owns producing properties and conducts exploration activities as operator of consortiums internationally in Gabon and Angola and as a non-operator in the British North Sea. Domestically, the Company has interests in the Texas Gulf Coast area. In Gabon and Angola, VAALCO serves as the operator for groups of companies which own the working interest in the production sharing contract, collectively referred to as a consortium. The Company produces from the Etame, Avouma, South Tchibala and Ebouri fields on the block. Oil production commenced from the Etame field in September 2002 and from the Avouma and South Tchibala fields in January 2007. During 2008, the Etame, Avouma and South Tchibala fields produced approximately 7.8 million bbls (1.9 million bbls net to the Company). In addition to the Etame, Avouma and South Tchibala fields, the Company developed the Ebouri field, which was discovered in 2004. A platform was installed in August 2008 and the first development well was drilled in late 2008. First production from this well began in January 2009. A second development well was drilled in early 2009, with production expected to begin from that well later in the first quarter of 2009. Beginning in November 2008, drilling began on the first of three planned exploration wells, all of which are located within the Etame Marin block. The first of these wells, the North Ebouri, encountered substantial oil-filled Gamba sandstone, proving-up additional reserves north of the originally mapped field development outline. The second well, the North Etame prospect, encountered water bearing sands and has been abandoned. The third prospect, the South East Etame, is scheduled to be drilled during the second or third quarter of 2009. Onshore Gabon, the Company has a 100% working interest in the Mutamba Iroru block located near the coast in central Gabon. The Mutamba Iroru block contains approximately 270,000 acres for exploration. The Company acquired aeromagnetic gravity data in 2008, and together with seismic data acquired from previous operators over the block in 2006 and 2007, has begun to drill two exploration wells on the block. Drilling on the first well began in February 2009 and encountered water bearing sands and has been abandoned. The second well is expected to begin drilling in March or April 2009. The Company's active subsidiaries include VAALCO Gabon (Etame), Inc., VAALCO Production (Gabon), Inc., VAALCO Angola (Kwanza), Inc., VAALCO Energy (USA), Inc. and VAALCO (UK) North Sea, Limited. The Company's competition for acquisitions, exploration, development and production include the major oil and gas companies in addition to numerous independent oil companies, individual proprietors, drilling and acquisit
