		A list of definitions used in this Master Service Contract is contained in Exhibit A.

1.1

The following Exhibits A- G which are attached hereto shall form part of this CONTRACT and all SERVICES shall be performed pursuant to the provisions of this CONTRACT and the Exhibits hereto.

2.0

LABOUR, WARRANTY, EQUIPMENT, MATERIALS, SUPPLIES AND SERVICES

	2.1		When notified by COMPANY by written work order, of the requirement for SERVICES desired and upon acceptance of same, CONTRACTOR shall commence furnishing same at the agreed upon time, and continue such operations diligently and without delay, in strict conformity with the specifications and requirements contained herein and such work orders.

	2.2		CONTRACTOR shall not employ in any work for COMPANY any employee whose employment violates any labour, employment or other applicable laws. CONTRACTOR shall not employ in any work for COMPANY any employee who is a minor.

	2.3		All SERVICES rendered or performed by CONTRACTOR shall be done with due diligence in a good and workmanlike manner, using skilled, competent and experienced workmen and supervisors, and in accordance with good oilfield practices.

	(a)		Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the terms of this paragraph apply to any SERVICES and to any equipment rented or leased with or without an operator. CONTRACTOR shall use reasonable efforts to ensure that all CONTRACTOR personnel furnished are competent and rental equipment is in good condition. CONTRACTOR personnel will attempt to perform the SERVICE requested; however, because of the nature of the SERVICES to be accomplished and unpredictable conditions, the results of such SERVICES cannot be and are not guaranteed. CONTRACTOR warrants the SERVICES provided hereunder for a period of thirty (30) days. No warranty is given with respect to engineering and technical information furnished by CONTRACTOR or with respect to the results of the SERVICES provided by CONTRACTOR. CONTRACTOR makes no warranty or representation, express or implied, as to the design, operation, or quality of the material or workmanship of rental equipment used to supply the SERVICES provided to COMPANY hereunder, and CONTRACTOR makes no warranty of merchantability or fitness of the equipment for any particular purpose or any other representation or warranty whatsoever.

	(b)		CONTRACTOR shall have no responsibility for any materials furnished and/or specified-by COMPANY. If COMPANY wishes CONTRACTOR to specifically use certain materials in lieu of materials that CONTRACTOR wishes to use then

EU/RUS/DWS/040/04

			COMPANY must accept the liability for same. However if CONTRACTOR is to be totally in charge of its work then this will not be a problem.

	(c)		With regard to materials or equipment furnished by third party vendors and/or suppliers, CONTRACTOR liability therefore shall be limited to the assignment of such third party vendor’s and/or supplier’s warranty to COMPANY, provided such warranties are assignable.

	(d)		Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the terms of this paragraph apply to the sale of any equipment to COMPANY.

CONTRACTOR liability for breach of this warranty is expressly limited to the repair or replacement, at its sole option, of any equipment or parts of equipment which prove to be defective during the warranty period. This limited express warranty, and the stated remedies for breach thereof, shall be in lieu of any and all other warranties, express or implied, including without limitation, warranties for merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose.

	(e)		Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, it is expressly agreed and understood that in the event CONTRACTOR’s EQUIPMENT that is in the possession and control of COMPANY pursuant to this CONTRACT, whether leased to COMPANY or stored at the WORKSITE, is not returned or is damaged beyond repair, COMPANY will replace such CONTRACTOR EQUIPMENT or reimburse CONTRACTOR with the current replacement cost new. Should COMPANY decide to replace lost or damaged CONTRACTOR EQUIPMENT, the replaced items should be new and purchased or obtained from a reputable manufacturer and should meet all original equipment manufacturer’s specifications. COMPANY agrees to reimburse CONTRACTOR for the cost of repair to such CONTRACTOR EQUIPMENT that are damaged other than from normal wear-and-tear during the rental period. However, before any major repairs are made to damaged equipment, approval for such repairs must be secured from an authorized representative of COMPANY.

Delays due to the above causes, or any of them, shall not be deemed to be a breach of or failure to perform under this CONTRACT. Neither COMPANY nor CONTRACTOR shall be required against its will to adjust any labour or similar disputes except in accordance with applicable law. CONTRACTOR, but not COMPANY, shall be relieved of it’s obligations under this Agreement in the event of the following: warlike action, insurrection, revolution or civil strife, piracy, civil war or hostile action, acts of public enemies, rules and regulations of any governmental authorities having jurisdiction in the premises or of any other group, organisation or informal association (whether or not formally recognised as a government), inability to procure material, equipment or necessary labour in the open market, acute and unusual labour or material or equipment shortages, failures due to inadequate infrastructure within Georgia including but not limited to inadequate or lack of roads, communications, security etc.

The time for performance of such obligation, and any other obligations as are conditional upon such performance, shall be extended by the period between each of the said notices provided that the notifying Party shall make reasonable efforts to perform such obligation prior to the time for performance extension as aforesaid.

		In the event of the occurrence of any cause set out in Article 10 and such cause prevails for a period in excess of ten (10) days, the Parties agree to meet forthwith to mutually agree the way forward. If after five (5) days (15 days after commencement of Force Majeure) agreement has not been reached on the way forward then COMPANY shall have the right to cancel the CONTRACT immediately and without any further payment.

Exhibit B
Scope of Works

Overview

COMPANY will commence a drilling campaign in Georgia during the second half of year 2004. The “Georgia Drilling Campaign”, is planned to include the drilling of as many as fourteen (14) xxxxx in the Ninotsminda, Samgori, Xxxxxx and other fields. The first two (2) xxxxx are firm commitment xxxxx and are considered to be a trial of Underbalanced Coiled Tubing Drilling (UBCTD) technology, and further xxxxx are contingent upon the performance of these initial two (2) xxxxx.

The xxxxx defined above will be drilled from onshore locations with a single drilling unit performing conventional drilling operations to run and set casing in the top of the reservoir. Alternatively existing xxxxx may be sidetracked using conventional techniques, to place a casing string in or near the top of the reservoir. Thereafter, a UBCTD Package would drill the reservoir section using underbalanced or managed pressure drilling techniques, in order to reduce well impairment and thereby increase potential productivity. The decision to drill each well with UBD technology is dependent upon the availability of equipment, successfully landing and cementing the production casing into the top of the reservoir, if COMPANY’s geological prognosis indicates that the reservoir is at the anticipated depth, if the wellbore stability proves to be suitable for UBD, if the reservoir responses positively to being drilling underbalanced or if the COMPANY presents any other reasonable reason. With the exception of the first well, Xxxxxx, each of the reservoir sections will be approximately horizontal.

A two (2) phase circulating system using crude oil and nitrogen or natural gas is planned to generate the underbalanced conditions required through the reservoir section, however other fluids may be used (e.g. brine for Xxxxxx). A +/- 200 psi drawdown on the lowest pressured formation is planned.

Note : Hydrogen sulphide has not been reported from the producing reservoirs, and therefore CONTRACTOR’S EQUIPMENT package is not H ₂ S certified to meet sour service specifications.

	2.		COMPANY shall not compensate CONTRACTOR for the costs of repair or refurbishment of any equipment for which it is liable unless COMPANY has been requested to witness the inspection thereof prior to such repair or refurbishment.

	3.		In the event that COMPANY requests CONTRACTOR to perform SERVICES outwith the normal operating parameters of CONTRACTOR’s BHA EQUIPMENT (145°C and 5000psi differential pressure between the inside of BHA and the outside of the BHA i.e the annulus) then COMPANY shall reimburse CONTRACTOR for all loss and or damage to CONTRACTOR EQUIPMENT.

	4.		Cost to repair damage to BHA Stator which has been caused by exposure to crude oil drilling medium will be recharged to COMPANY.

2.7		For any additional third party equipment, materials or services (outwith the agreed rates and/or charges contained herein) requested by COMPANY and provided by CONTRACTOR, CONTRACTOR shall be reimbursed at documented cost with a five percent (5%) xxxx-up, save for, if applicable, CONTRACTOR’s expenses incurred on COMPANY approved travel, which will be reimbursed at documented cost.

2.8		Costs incurred by CONTRACTOR in making good damage to CONTRACTOR’S downstream EQUIPMENT by erosion will be recharged to COMPANY at cost plus five percent (5%). Choke redress kits will be charged as used according to the table of consumables in Section 6.3.

EU/RUS/DWS/040/04

2.9		It is CONTRACTORS intention to utilise a dedicated team to perform maintenance on CONTRACTOR’S EQUIPMENT package during periods when the equipment is not operating. However any maintenance/refurbishment of directional drilling BHA which cannot be carried out in country of operations will be returned to CONTRACTOR base of operations at cost to CONTRACTOR. Transportation, importation, exportation will be the responsibility and cost of COMPANY and will be performed as per clause 9.0 of this exhibit.

2.10		Additional equipment and services outwith those listed in Exhibit C will be provided by CONTRACTOR in accordance with CONTRACTOR’s Handling Equipment and Rental Product Lines Price List or Casing Consumables Price List, as appropriate.

2.11		STACKED RATE:

		Is payable any time the CONTRACTOR’S EQUIPMENT is rigged down, in transit or stacked during inactive periods. No STACKED RATE will be payable during transit between equipment Point of Origin and the Point of Entry to Georgia, nor during the return trip. A total allowance of fourteen (14) days will be made by CONTRACTOR to COMPANY for the process of clearing customs, transporting CONTRACTOR’S EQUIPMENT from Point of Entry in Georgia to the WELLSITE and returning CONTRACTOR’S EQUIPMENT to Point of Exit in Georgia upon the conclusion of operations. This is a maximum cumulative period and should these activities be effected quicker, it is not transferable as a deductible.

2.12		OPERATING RATE:

		Is payable on completion of rig up (when the BHA is made up and tested and when the rig up has been approved by CONTRACTOR and COMPANY HSE responsible persons according to agreed sign off sheet as being safe for operations). The OPERATING RATE ceases once the equipment rig down process begins (when the final BHA or toolstring is broken from the CT string).

2.13		STANDBY RATE

		Is payable at any time other than those listed above. This covers rig up and rig down time, and will also cover times when CONTRACTOR’S EQUIPMENT is ready for operations but cannot operate due to situations outwith CONTRACTOR’s control. STANDBY RATE for rig up begins when the first item of CONTRACTOR EQUIPMENT is placed on WELLSITE for each well. STANDBY RATE for rig down ends when the last item of CONTRACTOR EQUIPMENT is uplifted from WELLSITE, or placed in storage location on WELLSITE, at end of each well.

		It is intention of CONTRACTOR to have only one (1) crew and hence break up the program with a (approximately) two week period of R&R for CONTRACTOR PERSONNEL every four (4) to six (6) weeks, depending upon well operations. No STACK RATE shall apply during this period. If however a planned restart of operations is delayed by COMPANY beyond fourteen (14) days then STACK RATE shall apply from (and including) the fifteenth (15) day. No STACK RATE shall apply if CONTRACTOR delays restart of operations.

		Should a well be suspended or abandoned earlier than anticipated due to no fault of CONTRACTOR, the fourteen (14) day FOC period between xxxxx will not be applicable. STACK RATE will apply from end of rig down on suspended or abandoned well and will continue until restart of original well or start of new well.

EU/RUS/DWS/040/04

2.14		DURATION OF CHARGES

		SERVICE/rental charges shall apply from the first day on which the CONTRACTOR’S EQUIPMENT arrives at Point of Entry in Georgia until the day it is returned to the Point of Exit. COMPANY has up to fourteen (14) days without charges of the equipment being transported by ship, to effect customs clearance, loading, unloading and transport between the port and the WELLSITE and the reverse of the entire process on completion of the drilling program. This fourteen (14) day allowance is a maximum figure and cannot be carried over as a credit to other activities.

2.15		CONSUMABLES SUPPLY and DELIVERY

		COMPANY will only be invoiced for items actually consumed. CONTRACTOR will invoice for consumables only as detailed in the Daily Field Report and signed by the COMPANY Representative. The aforementioned report shall serve as the primary support documentation for the CONTRACTOR’S invoice. (Example included in Exhibit G ).

		A mutually agreed consumables list shall be produced by the CONTRACTOR and shall be provided to the COMPANY. Adequate stock levels shall be maintained throughout the duration of the PROJECT but overstocking is to be minimised unless expressly requested by the COMPANY.

		COMPANY shall not be restricted to the exclusive use of CONTRACTOR’S consumables. Should CONTRACTOR fail to adequately supply a particular consumable or the quality of the said consumable does not meet the CONTRACT specifications, COMPANY may source a suitable alternative elsewhere.

		Transport of additional consumables from CONTRACTOR’S Base to the WELLSITE will be for the account of COMPANY.

		COMPANY will only accept consumables supplied by the CONTRACTOR arriving at the WELLSITE in an undamaged condition. Liability for the risk of damage to consumables during transit between the CONTRACTOR’S Base and the COMPANY’S WELLSITE shall be at the cost of the CONTRACTOR

		At the termination of the CONTRACT, CONTRACTOR will transport all consumables no longer required by the COMPANY, back to CONTRACTOR’S Base. There will be no re stocking fee. Any surplus consumables stock may be offered to COMPANY for purchase at CONTRACTOR prices. However, consumables returned from the WELLSITE in opened containers, or if damaged by COMPANY and in non-resalable condition, shall be charged to COMPANY at CONTRACT prices.

		Consumables not included herein, but required by the COMPANY and supplied by the CONTRACTOR, shall be available for purchase by COMPANY from the CONTRACTOR’S Price List.

EU/RUS/DWS/040/04

3.0		Personnel

3.1		Day rates shall, unless otherwise specified, be per calendar day or any part thereof. Monthly rates where applicable shall be based on a thirty (30) day month and any part month shall be charged on a pro rata basis.

3.2		Duration Of Personnel Charges

		Unless otherwise noted, all personnel charges shall apply from day of departure from Point of Origin until day of return to Point of Origin. STANDBY rates are not applicable for personnel.

		If CONTRACTOR PERSONNEL miss flights during transit / over night stays (due to their own negligence), then associated additional personnel and transportation costs including subsistence and lodging are the responsibility of CONTRACTOR. In the event that operations cannot commence due to key CONTRACTOR PERSONNEL missing flights (again, due to their own negligence) then COMPANY shall not be liable for any equipment or personnel charges during this period. It is the decision of the COMPANY to decide if sufficient CONTRACTOR PERSONNEL are present to commence operations, however CONTRACTOR reserves the right to overrule COMPANY if CONTRACTOR feels that safety is being breached. In such a situation, CONTRACTOR elects to go to Zero Rate until CONTRACTOR is satisfied that sufficient CONTRACTOR PERSONNEL are on WELLSITE to ensure safe operations.

3.3		One Month Break

		It is the intention of both parties to have a four (4) week break over the Christmas and New Year Period. Equipment and Personnel rates and charges will not apply during this period. If COMPANY wishes to extend this period for longer than four (4) weeks, then a retainer equivalent to seventy five percent (75%) of total personnel day rate must be paid in order to maintain consistency in personnel from CONTRACTOR. This will be in addition to equipment STACKED RATE that begins after the four (4) week period

EU/RUS/DWS/040/04

4.0

NON PRODUCTIVE TIME

Should any of CONTRACTOR’S EQUIPMENT (excluding the coiled tubing itself) be inoperable due to mechanical breakdown outwith what is considered to be normal wear and tear, which leads to loss of the Underbalanced Coiled Tubing Drilling Operation, reduced rates will be payable to CONTRACTOR for SERVICES as per the following tables. Reduced Rates will continue until CONTRACTOR’S EQUIPMENT is available to commence/recommence operations at the WELLSITE.

BHA NPT

NPT will not apply if the temperature of the well is above 145°C or differential pressure between the inside of BHA and the outside of the BHA i.e the annulus of over 5000psi.

If motor failure is due to drilling fluid damage CONTRACTOR will not accept NPT after seven hours (7) of pumping time. If however a failure is due to mechanical or electrical breakdown then CONTRACTOR will accept NPT for this.

In the event of a BHA failure hole conditioning will be performed outwith NPT before Pulling Out of Hole on NPT.


Duration of loss of the Underbalanced Operation		% of Equipment
(Cumulative per trip with 1 TRIP		Operating Day Rate to

CONTRACTOR is allowed thirty six (36) hours of NPT per trip)

0 - 24 hrs		100%

Greater than 24 hours		0%

If NPT occurs on STANDBY RATE, then STANDBY RATES will apply for the hours of NPT providing this occurs in the 0-24hr period of “paid for” NPT.

If NPT occurs on OPERATING RATE, then operating rates will apply for the hours of NPT providing this occurs in the 0-24hr period of “paid for” NPT


Duration of loss of the Underbalanced Operation (Cumulative per trip with 1 TRIP being defined as 2 xxxxx, i.e. if 3 xxxxx are achieved		% of Personnel Operating Day Rate
then CONTRACTORS are allowed 36hrs of		to Apply to UBCTD
NPT per trip)		Equipment package.

0 - 24 hrs		100%

If NPT is greater than 24hrs then a sliding scale of percentage personnel payment is invoked. This scale is over 10 incremental steps from 90% to 0% each accounting for 24 hrs (i.e. the 24^th to 48^th hours are at 90, assuming no historical NPT has been accumulated).

EU/RUS/DWS/040/04

This scale is used over the course of the campaign therefore any NPT over 24hrs per trip will cause the scale to slide downwards for the extra 24 hr periods of NPT. If however there is no NPT, or less than 24hrs, on a particular trip, the scale can slide up again to a maximum of 100%. If no NPT is incurred in a trip, and the dayrate is at 100%, then 24 hours are added to the NPT free duration.

Should a major failure of the CONTRACTOR’S EQUIPMENT result in an extended continuous delay, then CONTRACTOR shall demobilise its crew at its cost.

5.0		CANCELLATION FEES

5.1		Cancellation by COMPANY

Notwithstanding anything contained herein, in the event that the two (2) commitment xxxxx are not drilled or the CONTRACT is terminated for any reason by the COMPANY after 7days from MOBILISATION and prior to completion of the two (2) commitment xxxxx, then COMPANY shall pay CONTRACTOR the remaining value of the Escrow Account as defined in MSC section 3.12 to a maximum total value of one million four hundred thousand dollars (1,400,000 USD). COMPANY will also pay all accrued certifying/documentation costs, MOBILISATION costs and coil preparation costs incurred by CONTRACTOR up until point of cancellation.

5.2

Engineering Charges

CONTRACTOR shall invoice COMPANY and COMPANY shall pay directly to CONTRACTOR the amount of $120,000 per calendar month in advance, from CONTRACT signature, until equipment MOBILISATION (Anticipated duration three (3) months). The first payment shall be made within two (2) working days of CONTRACT signature, into a CONTRACTOR nominated account. If a further fourth month is required before MOBILISATION COMPANY shall pay a further $60,000. The total amount shall however be capped to these four payments (i.e. $420,000). The actual total will be repaid by CONTRACTOR to COMPANY in six equal amounts from the completion of well three (3) until well eight (8).

5.3

Late MOBILISATION by CONTRACTOR

If CONTRACTOR fails to mobilise CONTRACTOR’s EQUIPMENT from Aberdeen, and new CT and reel from Houston (U.S.) within four months of receipt of payment from COMPANY for purchase of CT and Reel as described in this exhibit section 6.1, then CONTRACTOR shall pay to the COMPANY liquidated damages of $150,000 per month (parts of month shall be pro-rated). Exception will be made where COMPANY arranged logistics are late or problematic. Such liquidated damages shall be capped at $600,000 (four (4) months).

5.4

Post-MOBILISATION / Pre-Start cancellation by CONTRACTOR

In the event that the CONTRACTOR EQUIPMENT has been mobilised, but the CONTRACTOR personnel have not and CONTRACTOR cancels the CONTRACT, then CONTRACTOR shall be liable for all upfront engineering costs paid to CONTRACTOR by COMPANY over the previous 3 or 4 months; MOBILISATION (accrued at that time) and DEMOBILISATION costs/fees from that point, plus a one off payment of $150 000. CONTRACTOR will also repay any certification and preparation costs charged for at this time. Furthermore, the reel (with COMPANY CT) will then become the property of COMPANY and CONTRACTOR will deliver without charge to POTI (COMPANY will be responsible for clearing customs).

EU/RUS/DWS/040/04

5.5

Post Start of Operations cancellation by CONTRACTOR

If after MOBILISATION of CONTRACTOR personnel, CONTRACTOR elects to cancel the CONTRACT, before two xxxxx have been completed, then CONTRACTOR shall pay all MOBILISATION and DEMOBILISATION costs/fees (from Aberdeen to COMPANY base and back again). Furthermore, the reel (with COMPANY CT) will then become the property of COMPANY and CONTRACTOR will deliver without charge to POTI (COMPANY will be responsible for clearing customs).

6.0

PAYMENT SCHEDULE

The following payment schedule has been developed in order to avoiding imposing potentially onerous upfront payments or terms on COMPANY, whilst providing CONTRACTOR Management with a sufficient degree of comfort and security.

Key points are:

	•		COMPANY pay upfront for purchase of coiled tubing string and coiled tubing reel. These two (2) amounts must be received by CONTRACTOR prior to CONTRACTOR ordering the relevant equipment. Receipt of these payments by CONTRACTOR triggers the start of the four (4) month planned mobilisation timeline.

	•		COMPANY shall be provided with a PROJECT management team from PROJECT inception, ensuring operational goals are met. CONTRACTOR will put in place a dedicated team as described in Exhibit B section 2 to co-develop a realistic PROJECT timeline and ensure the scope of SERVICES is accurately defined and appropriate resources are organized to meet the scope of SERVICES. This shall be deemed to start from the time of signature of this CONTRACT.

	•		It is the intention of COMPANY to Commit to drill at least two (2) xxxxx. Commitment to be assured by a pre payment of one million four hundred thousand dollars US ($1,400,000) in accordance with the cancellation schedule provided herein lodged in an Escrow Account held by COMPANY Lawyers (McGrigors Solicitors). Should costs spiral beyond that which has reasonably been envisaged by CONTRACTOR and accepted by COMPANY then COMPANY may effect cancellation after one (1) well with penalties as detailed in section 5.1 of this Exhibit. Mobilisation of the CONTRACTOR EQUIPMENT will not take place before the stated prepayment has been lodged in the said Escrow Account.

	•		CONTRACTOR shall furnish COMPANY with an invoice (supported by approved Job Tickets) within one (1) week of the completion of each well. COMPANY shall pay each invoice within two (2) weeks of receipt. Failure to pay an invoice within the foregoing time period triggers transfer from Escrow Account to CONTRACTOR of the invoiced amount. COMPANY agrees to have sufficient funds in the Escrow Account for two (2) xxxxx ($1,400,000) and $700,000 for each well thereafter. Items unsettled from one (1) well may be reconciled with the xxxx for the subsequent well(s). Upon completion of the programme, CONTRACTOR must supply final invoice (for incidentals) within two (2) months of demobilisation of CONTRACTOR’S EQUIPMENT, by the COMPANY to the Point of Exit in Georgia.

2 7/8” DRILLING STRING

To facilitate purchase of the coiled tubing string, CONTRACTOR shall invoice and COMPANY will pay to CONTRACTOR the sum of three hundred and twenty two thousand dollars (322,000 USD) to CONTRACTOR in advance of purchase.

CONTRACTOR will perform engineering and procurement services in advance of purchase as far as is reasonably practicable, such that on receipt of payment, manufacture of the coil can begin immediately.

The coiled tubing string will be cycled out at the end of the proposed SERVICES scope. The string will therefore be fully owned by COMPANY and at the disposal of COMPANY upon completion of the SERVICES. CONTRACTOR will manage the fatigue life during the campaign FOC.

10.2

CTD TUBING REEL

To facilitate purchasing of the coiled tubing reel, CONTRACTOR shall invoice and COMPANY will pay the sum of three hundred and sixty eight thousand dollars (368,000 USD) to CONTRACTOR in advance of purchase. CONTRACTOR will perform engineering and procurement services in advance of purchase as far as is reasonably practicable, such that on receipt of payment, manufacture of the reel can begin immediately.

For the avoidance of doubt CONTRACTOR would wholly own the tubing reel and drum, for the duration and after the proposed workscope, and COMPANY would be re-reimbursed with a discount on the invoice for each well according to the discount structure below:


Well	Discount per Well USD
1		7360
