"Sound Energy entered Morocco in 2015 in pursuit of a Mediterranean gas exploration strategy attracted by the multi-TCF exploration potential in the Triassic and Palaeozoic Algerian petroleum system combined with the strong gas market fundaments and fiscal terms. Schlumberger joined Sound Energy shortly thereafter Over the last four years, Sound and Schlumberger have: - Developed a strong in-country team led by Mohammed Seghiri - Drilled 5 TAGI wells (TE6, TE7, TE8, TE9 and TE10), of which 3 (TE6, TE7 and TE10) have encountered gas - Acquired 2,850 line km of new 2D seismic data - Re-processed all available historical seismic data - Acquired 22,800 km2 of aerial gravity gradiometry and magnetic data - Developed a basin model with multi TCF exploration potential - Developed a prospect inventory, including a TE11 prospect, a Palaeozoic play opening opportunity - De-risked the TE5 Horst development with concession award, FEED and GSA (ongoing) Sound Energy’s investor thesis remains to deploy its capital into basin opening exploration, monetise both the discoveries and the remaining exploration potential pre-FID and to then distribute the proceeds to shareholders "
