Company profile

COMPANY INFORMATION

Publicly listed on the London Stock Exchange, the


Great Eastern Energy Corporation Limited (GEECL) is
a major producer of coal bed methane (CBM) in India.
The company has drilled 156 wells and reached a
production capacity of about 22.8 mcf (646,000 cubic
metres) per day.
India has the fifth-largest coal reserves in the world, estimated at
more than 300 billion tonnes by the Ministry of Coal as of April
2014. This means significant potential for CBM exploitation. The
exploration of CBM in India is spread over a sedimentary area of
26,000 square kilometres and is already ongoing, mainly regions
such as Jharkhand, West Bengal and Madhya Pradesh.

Announcements in 2014 of production increases by other CBM


players are a clear sign that CBM exploration and production
across India will increase in the coming years.

As opposed to CBM, shale gas production characteristically peaks


at very early stages, usually during the first year of commercial
production. With shale wells costing about $10-15 million each,
operators need to make sure they do not lose any of the output
due to a weak national gas grid.

A leading and fully integrated CBM company

Strategy

Supply-demand dynamics in Indian gas market is extremely attractive and


likely to remain so for the next 20 years;

Large, well-defined and well-mapped Raniganj (South) block has an


estimated 2.62 TCF Gas-in-Place;

Compared with the other major U.S. CBM basins, GEECL's Raniganj (South)
block displays remarkable similarities with the Black-Warrior basin of USA where
multiple coal seams with significant gas content and favourable permeability
account for high productivity;

Raniganj (South) block is at the heart of West Bengal's large and growing
industrial centre;

Meeting energy needs of our major industrial customers in Raniganj


(South) block, where we are located;

Demand is substantial and growing and the winners will be those who
have the production and the infrastructure already in place.

UPSTREAM

100% participation in Raniganj (South) block, West Bengal:

210 sq. km, 2.62 TCF estimated Gas-in-Place;

156 wells drilled;

A further 144 wells planned to be drilled;

56 deviated wells have been successfully drilled.

100% participation in Mannargudi block, Tamil Nadu:


Approvals are expected to be in place shortly.

MIDSTREAM - RANIGANJ (SOUTH) BLOCK

Gas Gathering Station and related infrastructure all fully operational;

Pipeline running through the heart of Asansol-Durgapur industrial belt;

Proven pipeline delivery to major industrial clients.

DOWNSTREAM - RANIGANJ (SOUTH) BLOCK

Located at the heart of West Bengals large and growing industrial centre;

Multiple contracts with a range of large and medium industrial clients;

CNG supply agreement with Indian Oil Corporation Limited and Bharat
Petroleum Corporation Limited.
The company-s strategy is to be in the expansion and exploration spree and its
aims to be a leading player in the Indian CBM industry. This strategy is working
fine so far its performance is in tune with the strategy. For the financial year
2014-2015 the following demonstrate this point.

FINANCIALS
In the 12 months to 31 March 2015 Great Eastern made material progress across the
business, delivering significant growth in production, revenue, and profit.
Total revenue increased by 9% to US$ 37.46m as compared to the corresponding previous
financial year, while EBITDA increased by 4% to US$ 24.80m. The Company has a net debt
of US$ 93.67m as at 31 March 2015 with a Debt:Equity ratio of 1.08, improving from 1.39 as
at 31 March 2014.
Sales increased by 12% to 3.73 bcf this year compared with 3.33 bcf in the previous year.
The supply and demand dynamic for Indian gas, and the pricing environment, remains
attractive and is likely to remain so for some years to come.

OPERATIONAL UPDATE: RESERVES, DRILLING & PRODUCTION


As announced in June 2015, the independent reserve engineers, Advance Resources
International, Inc., have increased the Recovery factor to 55% from 30%, in the low estimate
and the Original-Gas-In-Place (OGIP) to 2.62 TCF (from 2.44 TCF), an increase of 7.38%.
Since we listed in 2005, the OGIP has increased substantially from 1.39 TCF at that time.

Managements focus on improving production by the installation of new lower capacity


pumps is now delivering a positive impact on current production and setting the scene for
higher volume future production targets.
Average production increased by 10% to 12.81 mmscfd in FY 2015 from 11.70 mmscfd in FY
2014.
Production increased by 18% to 15.06 mmscfd in July 2015 from 12.81 mmscfd average for
the 12 months ended 31 March 2015.
In addition, improved results have been achieved from optimising the pipelines. These
areencouraging and have resulted in an increase of 17% in gas flow (by 1,581 mcfd). Out of
the total entailed optimisation, 50% has been completed. Further improvement in gas flow is
anticipated with more optimisation being carried out of the pipelines.
Due to the successful pump optimisation, we have been able achieve a 176% increase in
gas flow (by 475 mcfd). Further improvement in gas flow is anticipated as a result of regular
dewatering.
