The following responses are intended to answer the questions currently being posed to the company. We will make every attempt to keep this FAQ section as up-to-date as possible, and appreciate your referencing this section of our website frequently for clarification of facts. Naturally, the content here will evolve as developments occur. Q. Will ERHC remain in a US exchange or are the plans to move it all to the AIM? Will it just be a subsidiary of ERHC's going to the AIM....or a dual listing? How can the co make a move to the AIM without knowing exactly what their intents are? We’ve tried to be clear, but also need to leave room for the advisors that we’ve engaged to provide value. The company’s management has described a pretty clear plan to list a subsidiary – one with none of the JDZ or EEZ assets – on the AIM. It would have no effect on ERHC’s current U.S. stock listing. As described originally, the parent company, ERHC Energy Inc., would...

ERHC Energy Milestones

Tue, 16 Feb 2010 14:44:34 GMT

ERHC Energy has come a long way from its roots as an environmental remediation company. In 1996, ERHC narrowed its focus and began operating solely as an independent oil and gas company. Following are some milestones ERHC has achieved as it makes progress toward maximizing corporate value and shareholder returns by leveraging its assets in the Joint Development Zone (JDZ) between Sao Tome & Principe and Nigeria and in the exclusive waters of São Tomé & Príncipe (EEZ) and by pursuing other upstream and downstream oil and gas opportunities wherever attractive projects can be acquired at low cost and transformed into valuable oil and gas assets. In May 1997, ERHC entered into an exclusive joint venture with São Tomé & Príncipe. ERHC sought that agreement because it identified the possibility of significant reserves offshore of Sao Tome & Principe years before anyone else did and was willing to undertake the hard work necessary to realize the value of...

So Tom Exclusive Economic Zone

Tue, 16 Feb 2010 14:00:14 GMT

The National Petroleum Agency of São Tomé & Príncipe (ANP-STP) on behalf of the Government of São Tomé and Principe has awarded ERHC Energy 100 percent working interests in Blocks 4 and 11 of the São Tomé & Príncipe Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).

The ANP-STP has indicated that it expects to invite ERHC to negotiate Production Sharing Contracts (PSCs) on the two Blocks in due course.

In addition to the two Blocks already awarded, ERHC has rights to acquire up to a 15 percent paid working interest in two additional blocks of its choice in the EEZ. The ANP-STP has informed the Company that selection of these other blocks will take place at a later date to be determined.

ERHC will be responsible for its proportionate share of exploration and exploitation costs in the EEZ blocks.

The São Tomé & Príncipe EEZ encompasses an area of approximately 160,000 square kilometers south and east of the Nigeria/São Tomé & Príncipe Joint Development Zone and surrounding the volcanic islands of Príncipe and São Tomé. Block 4 is situated directly east of the island of Principe. Block 11 is directly east of the island of Sao Tome.

Ocean water depths around the two islands exceed 5,000 feet, depths that have only become feasible for oil production over the past few years; however, oil and gas are produced in the neighboring countries of Nigeria, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon and Congo.

The African coast is less than 400 nautical miles offshore, which means the exclusive economic zones of the concerned countries overlap.

ERHC's Community Outreach Program

Sat, 22 Aug 2009 22:32:19 GMT

The implementation of a community outreach program in our host communities is important to ERHC Energy. It helps to showcase our commitment to contributing positively to the quality of life in the communities in which we operate. ERHC Energy's first initiative was a visit by ERHC Corporate Secretary Peter Ntephe (since promoted to Chief Operating Officer) and the Company’s special counsel in Nigeria, Steve Ahaneku, to the Jabi Orphanage Home, in Abuja, Nigeria. ERHC made a small contribution during the visit to help support the orphanage, which takes in abandoned children. It currently is home to 35 youngsters ranging in age from a few weeks to five years old. ERHC’s community outreach program is an important part of an integrated program to be more visibly involved with the communities in which we operate and to illustrate the positive things the Company is doing.

ERHC Operations

Fri, 16 May 2008 21:23:07 GMT

ERHC Energy's operations are focused on the Gulf of Guinea, off the coast of central West Africa. This was once an undeveloped oil region of the world, but ERHC Energy was among the first to identify the possibility of significant oil reserves there and has worked to realize the value of its assets. Operations include the following:

The Joint Development Zone (JDZ). ERHC has interests in six of the nine Blocks in the Joint Development Zone (JDZ), a 34,548 sq km area approximately 200 km off the coastline of Nigeria and São Tomé & Principe that is adjacent to several large petroleum discovery areas. For more on ERHC's operations in the JDZ, click here.

São Tomé & Principe’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). The government of São Tomé & Principe has awarded ERHC rights to participate in exploration and production activities in São Tomé & Principe’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), which encompasses an area of approximately 160,000 square km. For more on ERHC's operations in the EEZ, click here.

Potential acquisition activities. ERHC is in the process of assessing the feasibility of various other prospects in the region, including marginal fields that might provide good investment opportunities for companies of ERHC’s size and capacity. ERHC's past and current emphasis has been in Nigerian waters of similar depths to the JDZ blocks. ERHC also has been assessing potential opportunities in shallower waters within Nigeria as well as offshore environments in other African nations.
