Notes:

  1. Dragon has a 100% working interest in the Cheleken Contract Area in Turkmenistan.
  2. Proven and probable commercial reserves are based on a reserves report produced by an independent engineer. Reserves estimates are reviewed by the independent engineer based on significant new data or a material change with a review of the field undertaken generally every year.

The Group provides for depletion of tangible fixed assets on a net entitlements basis using proven and probable commercial reserves, which reflects the terms of the PSA.
