Friday, 31 July, 2009: LONDON, July 30 (Reuters) - Verenex Energy Inc. (VNX.TO: Quote,
Profile, Research) of Canada has drawn up a claim against Libya for arbitration in its dispute
with Libya over the company's proposed sale to China, the chief executive of Verenex said.
Libya has said it will pre-empt a C$10-a-share bid for Verenex, a small oil firm working in
Libya, by China National Petroleum Corp (CNPC) [CNPET.UL]. But it has not made a formal
offer for Verenex and has not given consent to the Chinese deal. Verenex requires Libyan
consent for the Chinese deal, announced in February, to go ahead. Verenex CEO Jim
McFarland said that while it was still seeking that consent, filing for arbitration was among its
legal options. [Reuters]

Libya to Move on CNPC-Verenex Oil Deal （Dow Jones Newswires 7/13/2009）
NEW YORK (THE WALL STREET JOURNAL via Dow Jones Newswires), Jul. 13, 2009
After months of delay, the Libyan government is close to deciding whether to allow the sale
of a small Canadian oil exploration firm with operations in the country, resolving a drawn-out
saga that has highlighted the reasons why Libya's oil sector hasn't blossomed since it
reopened in 2005.
In February, Calgary-based Verenex Energy Inc. announced it would sell itself to China
National Petroleum Corp. for roughly $430 million. The state-run company wants Verenex
for the sizable crude reserves it has discovered in Libya.
1
But the deal has been waylaid for five months by the Libyan government, wreaking havoc
with Verenex's operations and share price and causing the Canadian government to register
its concern with Libyan authorities over its handling of the issue.
Libya says it will either allow the CNPC deal to go forward; deny it on the basis of national
interests; or purchase Verenex itself, invoking a clause in Verenex's drilling contract with
Libya that allows the state to take over a deal if it sees fit.
"All things are under consideration and we hope to reach a decision by August, if not
before," said Shokri Ghanem, head of Libya's national oil company.
The case has underlined both the promise of Libya's big untapped proven oil reserves, the
eighth-largest in the world, and the hazards of doing business in the North African country
more than five years after international sanctions against it were dropped.
The reopening of Libya's state-run oil sector in 2005 to foreign oil companies promised
potential profits for Libya, isolated for years by economic sanctions for its support of terrorist
activity, and new supply for the world oil market.
Western oil companies, largely blocked from pumping crude in most other big petroleum
countries, were keen to get access to an oil state widely viewed by analysts as
underexplored.
But despite signing billions of dollars worth of drilling deals the past four years with firms like
France's Total SA, Libya's state oil company in June slashed its production forecast to 2013
by nearly 25% to 2.3 million barrels a day. Some analysts say Libya, with a current
production capacity of about 1.8 million barrels a day, may even miss that lower target.
Verenex's situation helps illustrate how Libya's medium-term production prospects have
flopped. A big complaint is that government decision-making is often gummed up by too
many departments that aren't transparent, causing it to lag behind many other oil states,
such as Saudi Arabia, analysts say.
"The decision delays we see by the government are a problem for companies and hurt [oil
drilling] work programs," said Susan Mance, an analyst at Wood Mackenzie. She added the
delays highlight a long-term oil market concern about "above-ground" issues hampering the
timely delivery of new oil supply.
In an interview, Verenex Chief Executive Jim McFarland said his company has halted all
drilling in the country in recent days because of the government "unreasonably withholding"
a decision on CNPC's buyout offer.
Mr. Ghanem, Libya's top oil official, declined further comment on details of the Verenex
case.
2
Verenex and its nonoperator partner, PT Medco Energi of Indonesia, are aiming to start
pumping 50,000 barrels a day of Libyan crude by 2011 and five times that amount in the
next decade. The two firms have collectively sunk $311 million into their Libyan operations.
To add to the uncertainty, Libya announced in June it was investigating whether Verenex
may have improperly qualified for the 2005 oil licensing round in which it was awarded
operator of one oil field. The announcement sent Verenex shares tumbling more than 20%
and led some analysts to downgrade the company's stock.
With the charge coming four years after the bidding round, analysts say the investigation
could be a ploy to force Verenex to sell itself to the government at a discount to CNPC's
offer.

from 12.4 percent a year earlier amid the global credit crunch, the Central Bank of Libya
announced on Thursday. Libya imports around 90 percent of its food and other supplies,
notably from Europe, where consumer prices have fallen sharply this year. In the six months

period, the CBL said. Inflation soared in Libya in 2008, peaking at 12.9 percent in July last
year amid sharp increases in housing costs and food prices. Libya had a negative inflation
rate at the end of the 1990s but demand for consumer goods grew rapidly following the

Sunday, 5 July, 2009: Brazil's construction company Odebrecht believes that Libya will maintain
for many years its current growth potential, driven by the country's economic opening and oil
exports. The Brazilian company, currently undertaking two large works in Tripoli, says that it is in
the country to stay. "Libya is a country that has much potential, one that is already being realized
and will continue to be," said the CEO of Odebrecht in Libya, Daniel Villar, in an interview at the
company's headquarters in Tripoli. "The country is on the opposite direction of the world crisis, it

executive body, the commission, into an "African Authority." The draft document adopted at 4
