Project Technical Information

BGT is the largest producer of gas in Tunisia, supplying more than 50% of
domestic gas demand from its 100% owned Miskar field in the Gulf of Gabes about
110km east of Sfax. The Hasdrubal project is intended to increase production
levels of domestic gas and, ETAP has elected to participate in the development
of the field at 50%.

The Hasdrubal field is located in Tunisian waters at a depth of 62 metres,
approximately 100km from the coast in the Gulf of Gabes. It contains a rich gas,
condensate and associated oil rim within the nummulitic carbonate El Garia
reservoir horizon. The Hasdrubal onshore gas plant will be a gas conditioning
train encompassing gas separation, mercury removal, gas dehydration using
molecular sieve, H2S/CO2 removal, export gas compression, condensate
stabilisation, condensate storage and export systems, recycle gas compression,
produced water removal, treatment and storage, cold flare system, HP flare and
relief system, hot oil systems, dedicated power generation/distribution, and all
associated tie-ins with the existing Hannibal plant. The LPG plant will include
LPG extraction, using proprietary turbo-expander technology for dew pointing and
LPG storage and export systems.
