Proven and probable reserves for Brakel, Ottoland and Papekop represent reserves as determined during 2010 by RPS Energy in an independent valuation of some of the Group’s oil and gas assets in The Netherlands, adjusted for subsequent production where applicable. Further information is given in note 11 to the 2010 Report & Accounts. These reserves, other than in respect of Papekop, were originally acquired as a result of the Group’s agreements with NAM. The reserves in The Netherlands which are held as a result of the Group's agreements with NAM are subject to a 50% net profit interest after payback of 130% of the Group's capital costs. The Papekop production licence is subject to a 0.6% gross overriding royalty over the Group’s interest.
