1. Introduction Staatsolie is offering blocks 54, 55, 56 and 57 for the purpose of Hydrocarbons Exploration and Development. A map indicating the location of the Bidding Blocks is attached to this document as Schedule 1. We are looking for international oil companies (IOC s) that are ready and willing to commit capital and expertise to a rapid Exploration and Development effort. The bidding process will take place in two stages, a bid-qualification stage and a bidding stage. Interested IOC s are asked to submit a formal request to bid-qualify. As more fully described in this document, this request should include specific information relating to the company s financial, technical and management capacity. Staatsolie has prepared a data package which includes seismic data and well information (Data Package 2013) of the blocks on offer. Leasing the Data Package 2013 is mandatory to make a bid. Companies may study the Data Package 2013, visit Staatsolie and submit their bid ultimately on 26 July 2013 at 13:00 GMT Buenos Aires time. Companies may also create consortia among themselves. It is estimated that the bid evaluation will take a period of one month. Any IOC that qualifies to bid may submit a bid in the English language for a maximum of two block(s) in which they are interested. The bid must include competitive offers with regard to (i) the Minimum Work Obligation of phase one of the Exploration Period and (ii) Profit Sharing. Staatsolie, based on the evaluation of the bids received, will award the blocks and will enter into in the negotiation stage to conclude a Production Sharing Contract (PSC).The fundamental ideas embodied in Staatsolie s 2013 model PSC will not be modified as a result of these negotiations. Negotiations will have to result in a PSC within a period of 4 months after awarding the blocks. 4
