Commenting on today's results, Tony O'Reilly, Chief Executive of Providence,
said:
"The first six months of 2011 have been extremely busy for the Company and its
partners as we prepare to commence the biggest concerted drilling programme ever
carried out offshore Ireland. Providence's shareholders have waited patiently
for this moment, and the forthcoming spudding of the first well in the
programme, on the Barryroe oil discovery, Â is a momentous step forward that
should not only unlock the value of this particular asset but should also
trigger a complete industry re-appraisal of the Irish offshore. Given recent
industry advances in technology and pricing, as well as Ireland's now
established infrastructure and fiscal regime, the time has now come for
Ireland's hydrocarbon potential to be realised. Â Providence, as the leading
Irish based E&P company, with its extensive acreage position, outstanding
technical capabilities and world class international partners, intends to be at
the forefront of this realisation for its' shareholders."

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
Financial Results for the Half Year ending June 30th 2011
Revenues from continuing operations for the first half of 2010 were down 4.35%
to €5.717 million (from €5.977 million in H1 2011) due to decreased volumes,
arising from interruptions caused primarily by the completion of works from the
2010 drilling operations, which carried on into 2011. The average oil price per
barrel achieved (after swaps) in H1 2011 was $90.40 compared to $78.42 in the
same period last year, and overall production was 92,631 barrels of oil (H1
2010: 100,168).
The Company incurred a loss from operating activities of €3.191 million (HI
2010 profit of €2.007 million), and following finance expenses, the loss before
tax was €9.832 million (HI 2010 profit of €0.584 million). Included in the
results is a once off impairment charge relating to the costs of the drilling
and commissioning of the X8 dual lateral well at Singleton. Due to down-hole
mechanical issues, production from this well has been delayed and a remedial
work-over is planned for 2012. After taxation expenses of €1.346 million (H1
2010: €1.265 million), and the added net loss from discontinued operations in
the period of €5.177 million, the Company incurred an overall loss of €16.355
million (H1 2010: loss €1.222 million). On a per share basis, this resulted in a
42.32 cent loss per share (H1 2010: loss 3.74 cent).
In March 2011, the Company raised $65.7 million (gross) through the placing of
16.1 million new ordinary shares, with the proceeds being used to strengthen
Providence's balance sheet by reducing net debt levels, as well as providing
additional working capital for future drilling and seismic activities. As of
June 30th, cash and cash equivalents were €46.258 million.
In July 2011, the Company borrowed $60 million via an oil prepaid swap with
Deutsche Bank AG based on a forward sale of a percentage of Singleton production
for the next six years. The Company used the proceeds of this transaction to
repay all outstanding bank borrowings under the reserve base lending facility
with BNP Paribas.
Sale of AJE, OML 113, Offshore Nigeria
The Company has entered into a Heads of Agreement to divest its Nigerian
subsidiary, which holds its interest in OML 113, to Jacka Resources Limited,
("Jacka") an ASX-listed company, for a consideration of $16 million, which will
be paid in instalments, with the final payment due on 30 April 2012. Â Jacka and
the Company have negotiated a formal Sale & Purchase agreement which is expected
to be executed before the end of October. The transaction is conditional upon
waiver of Joint Venture pre-emptive rights and the receipt of all necessary
corporate and regulatory approvals. Upon satisfaction of these conditions, this
divestment is due to complete in November 2011, with the proceeds being used to
reduce a portion of the convertible bond debt.
OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS - PRODUCTION
Singleton Oil Field, Onshore UK (99.125% interest)
The Singleton oil field is located in the Weald Basin, West Sussex, southern
England. Since production commenced in 1986, the field has produced c. 4.1 MMBO
from an oil in-place resource of up to c.107 MMBO. The latest Singleton field
development plan indicates that the Company can expect to meet its stated
objective of increasing field production to in excess of 1,500 BOEPD within the
next two years. This will be achieved through a phased programme of activities
on the field including in-fill drilling, monetisation of gas through gas to wire
power generation and massive acid stimulation programmes. In the first half of
2011, daily oil production averaged 512 barrels (versus 553 in HI 2010), with
production rates in the first half being interrupted by the conclusion of
drilling operations on site, which resulted in increased production from the new
X11 well. Â Current daily production rates are c. 900 BOEPD (c. 650 BOPD).
Updated Reserve Report
In March 2011, an independent updated third party reserve audit was completed by
reserve auditors, Collarini & Associates. This audit confirmed an increase in
reserves to 7.7 MMBO of 2P net oil reserves at Singleton as of 1st March 2011,
representing an increase of 44% in 2P oil reserves compared to the previous
report (from 1st January 2010).
Forward Programme
The planned investment programme at Singleton includes a new production well
(X12), the ongoing work on the GTW (Gas to wire) programme, combined with
regular well optimisation through acid stimulation and work-overs. The Company
has secured a rig for the X12 well and is finalising drilling preparations, with
an expected spud date in Q4 2011. Other activities, such as acid stimulation,
are expected to commence in the first half of 2012.
Baxter's Copse, PEDL 233, Onshore UK (50.0% interest)
The Company and Northern Petroleum Plc are partners in licence PEDL 223, which
is adjacent to Singleton. A number of exploration and development opportunities
have been identified within the block, principally the Baxter's Copse oil
discovery. An RPS Energy third party reserve audit attributes 2P and 3P gross
undeveloped reserves of 2.7 MMBO and 7.5 MMBO respectively net to Providence.
OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS - DEVELOPMENT/APPRAISAL
Barryroe, Celtic Sea Basin, Offshore Ireland (50.0% interest)
Barryroe is a proven oil discovery situated in the Celtic Sea Basin. The field
has been successfully flow tested at rates of between 1,300 and 1,600 BOPD, from
three exploration and appraisal wells that were drilled in the 1970s and 1990s.
The reservoir sands are of Cretaceous Middle and Lower Wealden age and the oil
is light (c. 30-45o API) with a relatively high wax content ranging from c12-
22%. A third party audit carried out by RPS Energy for Lansdowne indicated P50
and P10 STOIIP estimates for Barryroe of 373 MMBO and 893 MMBO, respectively.
The corresponding 2C and 3C recoverable contingent resources are 59 MMBO and
144 MMBO, respectively. A 3D seismic survey (Jaguar survey) was carried out in
June 2011 as part of the planned pre-development programme.
Barryroe 48/24-J Appraisal Well
The pre-development drilling programme on the Barryroe oil discovery is
scheduled to commence next month using the contracted semi-submersible rig, the
GSF Arctic III. Providence will operate the drilling of the well with partners
San Leon Energy (30.0%) and Lansdowne Oil & Gas (20.0%). This well, which will
be the fifth on the field, has been designed to provide appraisal of the
discovery through the acquisition of key data such as core/image logs, reservoir
extent/connectivity, geo-mechanical data, and fluid samples and flow rates - all
of which will be incorporated in field development planning.
Hook Head, Celtic Sea Basin, Offshore Ireland (72.5% interest)
Hook Head is located offshore Wexford in Standard Exploration Licence 2/07 in
the North Celtic Sea Basin. The Hook Head structure is a large mid-basinal
anticline where four wells have been drilled to date, all of which encountered
hydrocarbon bearing sands. Two of these wells were drilled by Providence in
2007/08 with oil and gas encountered in both, although operational constraints
resulted in limited test data. Further evaluation of the field suggests that the
majority of the resource (estimated at c.120 MMBO) lies in the central part of
the structure, with the north and south flanks providing additional potential
incremental resources for any future development in the area. This central area
will be the focus of any planned future drilling. Providence has an option to
use the GSF Arctic III rig to drill an appraisal well at Hook Head. Â This option
must be declared once the Barryroe appraisal well has been spudded.
Shell MOU
In January 2011, the Company signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with
Shell International Trading and Shipping Company Limited which relates to future
potential oil production from its Barryroe and Hook Head oil discoveries. Under
the MOU, the companies have committed to work together to execute an oil off-
take sale and purchase agreement for the Barryroe and Hook Head oil discoveries.
In addition, Shell will also carry out a detailed analysis on how best to market
the oil from these fields.
Baltimore, Celtic Sea Basin, Offshore Ireland (60.0% interest)
The Baltimore heavy oil discovery located in block 48/19(p) in the North Celtic
Sea Basin. The 48/19-2 discovery well is situated some c. 30 kilometres off the
south coast of Ireland. Discovered in 1992, this c. 11o API heavy oil
accumulation is estimated to have an in-place resource potential of up to c.
300 MMBO.
Field assessment studies are continuing through our partner Nautical Petroleum
("Nautical"), and a technical update is expected during Q4 2011.
Nemo, Celtic Sea Basin, Offshore Ireland (54.4% interest)
In 2010, the Company completed a resource assessment of the heavy oil potential
underlying the Ardmore gas field (which contains an estimated 30 BCF), known as
Nemo. This work indicated an in-place resource potential of up to c. 230 MMBO of
c. 16o API oil. Providence subsequently announced a two step farm-out with
Nautical, which involves Nautical funding and carrying out a focused work
programme on the development feasibility of the Nemo oil discovery in return for
25% equity in the field. Nautical has an option to increase its stake in the
field to 65% and take-over operatorship should it elect to drill an appraisal
well on Nemo by the end of 2011.
Helvick, Celtic Sea Basin, Offshore Ireland (62.5% interest)
The Helvick Field is located in Standard Exploration Licence (SEL) 2/07 in the
North Celtic Sea Basin. The Company is looking at a number of low cost
development options for the field and in 2010, agreed to assign a 10% non-
operated interest in the field to Lansdowne Oil and Gas plc.
Spanish Point, Main Porcupine Basin, Ireland (32.0% interest)
In 2009, Providence and its partners (Chrysaor and Sosina) acquired a c. 300 sq
km 3D seismic survey over the Spanish Point licence, which contains the Spanish
Point gas discovery and the adjacent Burren oil discovery. The Company
subsequently announced encouraging results from this 3D seismic, which confirmed
a resource level of up to c. 510 MMBOE in place with up to c. 200 MMBOE
recoverable, with peak production rates having been modelled at over 70,000
BOEPD. This was followed, in the first quarter 2011, with a confirmation by the
partners to move to the next stage of licence, requiring a well commitment.
Chrysaor Exercises Option
In March 2011, under the terms of its farm-in, Chrysaor elected to exercise its
option to drill up to two appraisal wells on the Spanish Point discovery. In
return for committing to this work programme, Chrysaor will double its equity
participation in FEL 2/04 and FEL 4/08 from 30% to 60% and will assume the
drilling management role for the Spanish Point programme. As a result,
Providence's equity decreases from 56.0% to 32.0%. As part of the option, there
is a cap on Providence's financial exposure to the drilling. The partnership has
already high-graded the primary appraisal well location and planning has
commenced for drilling, including the sourcing of a suitable rig for 2012
drilling.
Galleon Survey
In July 2011, the Company, on behalf of its partners Chrysaor and Sosina,
acquired a c. 220 km2 survey over acreage adjacent to the Spanish Point licence.
Processing of this seismic data has commenced.
Independent CPR over FEL 2/04 and FEL 4/08
Senergy, a leading Aberdeen-headquartered energy services company, carried out a
Competent Persons Report (CPR) on the resource potential of FEL 2/04 and FEL
4/08 in April 2011. This study independently assessed gross un-risked
recoverable prospective resources of up to c. 750 MMBOE in FEL 2/04 and FEL
4/08. This resource potential covers a number of prospects including Wilde, the
newly identified Cama prospect, and the Burren oil discovery (up to c. 66 MMBO
REC). The CPR also evaluated the contingent resource potential at Spanish Point
and has attributed gross contingent resources that are in line with the
previously reported volumes of up to c. 200 MMBOE REC.
Dragon, St George's Channel Basin, Offshore Ireland (100.0% interest)
The Dragon gas field is partially located in Standard Exploration Licence (SEL)
1/07 in the St George's Channel Basin. The licence contains the mapped extension
of the UK Dragon gas discovery into Irish waters, as well as the deeper Orpheus
and Pegasus exploration prospects. Providence's application for a licence on the
UK side of the Dragon gas field is pending and well preparations are underway
for the drilling of an appraisal well in 2012.
OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS - EXPLORATION
Dunquin Prospect, South Porcupine Basin, Offshore Ireland (16.0% interest)
The Dunquin exploration prospect is located in the South Porcupine Basin. The
prospect is operated by ExxonMobil Exploration and Production (Offshore) Ireland
Limited and has associated P50 & P10 prospective recoverable resources of c.
1.7 BBOE & c. 3.7 BBOE, respectively. In August 2009, the Company confirmed that
ExxonMobil, on behalf of the Dunquin partners, had notified the Irish Department
of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources that it had elected to enter the
second phase of the licence, which carries a firm well commitment within the
Dunquin licence area. In 2010, a pre-drill site survey was successfully
concluded in September 2011, the multi-national Spanish headquartered oil
company Respol farmed in to 25.0% of the prospect. The resultant equity holdings
are ExxonMobil (operator, 27.5%), ENI (27.5%), Repsol (25.0%), Providence
(16.0%) and Sosina (8.0%), and the Dunquin partners now await formal
notification of a spud date from the operator.
Dalkey Island Prospect, Kish Bank Basin, Offshore Ireland (50.0% interest)
In 2010, the Company identified the Lower Triassic Dalkey Island prospect,
offshore Dublin, as a significant undrilled oil exploration prospect with an in-
place prospective resource potential of c. 870 MMBO. Providence operates the
prospect on behalf of its partner Star Energy Group. Similarly aged oil
productive reservoirs have been discovered in the Liverpool Bay area of the East
Irish Sea Basin, offshore UK. Oil source rock has now been identified in the
basin and the Company has started planning operations, including a foreshore
licence application as well as  discussions with rig operators to source a
suitable unit for the drilling of a well in the first half of 2012.
Marlin Prospect, Celtic Sea Basin, Offshore Ireland (60.0% interest)
As part of Nautical's study on the Baltimore heavy oil discovery (detailed
above), Licensing Option 10/1 and the surrounding area were mapped using
available seismic data. This work revealed the new Marlin exploration prospect
which is located c. 10 km NW of the producing Kinsale Head gas field. This
structure, which is the same age as the primary producing reservoirs in the
Kinsale Head gas field, has been mapped to extend beyond the current Option
area. Accordingly, the Baltimore partners increased the area covered by the
Option to include the mapped extension of the Marlin prospect into open acreage.
 Geological modelling of the prospect suggests that it is likely to be gas
charged with a total in place prospective resource potential of up to c. 74
BSCF.
Pegasus Prospect, St George's Channel Basin, Offshore Ireland (100.0% interest)
The Pegasus gas exploration prospect is located north-west of the Dragon Field
in the St George's Channel, with estimated prospective resource potential of c.
300 BSCF.
Orpheus Prospect, St George's Channel Basin, Offshore Ireland (100.0% interest)
The Orpheus gas exploration prospect lies beneath the Dragon gas field, which
straddles the Irish/UK Median Line. It is planned that the deeper Orpheus
prospect, which has an estimated prospective resource potential of c. 290 BSCF,
would be drilled as part of any appraisal programme of the Dragon Field.
Wilde Prospect, Porcupine Basin, Offshore Ireland (32.0% interest)
Previous 2D seismic interpretation over the Spanish Point area indicated the
presence of a potentially large structural closure known as the Wilde
exploration prospect underlying the Spanish Point discovery. Interpretation and
mapping of the new 3D data has confirmed the presence of the Wilde prospect with
an associated c. 45 sq km of areal closure.
ENERGY AND THE ENVIRONMENT
The Company is totally committed to supplying energy in an environmentally
responsible manner. Its ongoing exploration, development and production
operations are carried out in compliance with all environmental rules and
regulations.
