Notes:

Ascent Resources has a portfolio of over 20 oil and gas projects across six
countries in Europe. The projects are onshore in Italy, Switzerland, Hungary,
Spain, Slovenia and offshore Netherlands.  In the current drilling campaign,
Ascent has already drilled two wells in Hungary, one of which was a gas
discovery.  The Anagni-1 well, first of two Italian wells, has been temporarily
completed as an oil discovery and is to be deepened and testing and the
Hontomin-4 well, the first of two wells in Spain is drilling at present.
Starting in May 2007, two gas exploration wells are to be drilled in Hungary.
High impact gas exploration wells are planned in the Po Valley in Italy and a
gas exploration well in Switzerland, subject to permitting and rig availability.


Ascent operates Spain's only onshore oilfield where production currently
averages over 100 barrels of oil per day.


With the stable European gas market, Ascent's portfolio favours gas over oil
and, with the exception of the Netherlands, all of its projects are located
onshore where operating and development costs are substantially lower than they
are offshore.
