ABOUT FORTUNE OIL

For over a decade Fortune Oil PLC has focused on investments and operations in oil & gas infrastructure projects in China and remains one of the few overseas companies operating oil terminals and supplying natural gas in China, all in partnership with the countrys largest oil & gas companies
Fortune Oil PLC is incorporated in England and Wales and is subject to UK Listing Rules and compliance regulations. The largest shareholders are First Level Holdings Limited, Vitol and major Chinese state-owned corporations.

NATURAL GAS : homepage_prototype__11.gif

China will be the world's largest growth market for natural gas as supplies of this clean and economically attractive fuel become more accessible. Fortune Oil's investments in natural gas are principally through Fu Hua, a joint venture with a PetroChina affiliate, which on-sells gas from the pipelines supplying Beijing. In north China Fortune Oil controls and operates distribution pipelines and city gas reticulation systems as well as facilities to produce and transport Compressed Natural Gas (CNG).
Fortune Oil is now one of the leading providers of CNG in Beijing, providing clean fuel for buses, households and factories. In October 2004 Fortune Oil also became the first overseas company to supply LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) to users in China, delivering LNG by road to the ancient city of Qufu, the home of Chinese philosophy.


OIL TERMINALS :
Maoming SPM homepage_prototype__13.gif


Fortune Oil established the Maoming Single Point Mooring (SPM) in December 1994 to supply crude oil to Sinopecs Maoming refinery, the largest in southern China. The SPM now delivers 10% of Chinas crude oil imports. It allows VLCCs (Very Large Crude Carriers) of up to 280,000 tonnes to moor and deliver crude oil via a 15 km sub-sea pipeline. The SPM is owned and operated by a joint venture company, Maoming King Ming Petroleum Company Limited, and the other main shareholder is Sinopec Maoming Petrochemical Corporation.
The SPM buoy is commonly used throughout the world for loading and unloading liquids but the Maoming SPM remains the only buoy system in China used for importing crude oil. Fortune Oil believes that the SPM concept is a cost-effective solution for importing crude oil into China as many ports are shallow and will become more congested as demand increases. The only alternative to a buoy system in many ports is to dredge channels for large tankers. The SPM has provided significant cost savings to the Maoming refinery through its low operating costs and VLCC capability.


Products Terminals homepage_prototype__14.gif


The oil products market in China is in the process of deregulation and this will allow a larger role for foreign companies in the import and distribution of refined products. Fortune Oil remains one of the few foreign companies with interests in products terminals.
Fortune Oil and Vitol jointly developed the West Zhuhai Oil Products Terminal at the western entrance of the Pearl River Delta. These facilities came on stream in 1998 and comprise 240,000 cubic metres storage and jetties for receiving and distributing refined products. It is one of the few products terminals in south China able to handle 80,000 dwt ocean-going tankers. A controlling stake was sold to PetroChina which uses the terminal for supply of diesel to south China.
In addition Fortune Oil controls a LPG terminal and supply business (Fu Duo), which has 80,000 customers in Zhanjiang city, and owns storage facilities in Shantou. Prior to the restructuring of the China oil industry in the late 1990s, Fortune Oil was also a major participant in the gasoline retail market and in oil trading. We continue to operate two gasoline stations in Beijing but our trading activities are limited to low-risk domestic trading.


Blue Sky Aviation Oilhomepage_prototype__15.gif


The South China Bluesky Aviation Oil Company owns and operates the refuelling infrastructure at 15 airports in south China. These include Wuhan, Guilin and the new Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport. Fortune Oil and BP each hold 24.5% of the joint venture and Beijing-based China Aviation Oil Supply Corporation (CAOSC) holds 51%. The consumption of jet fuel in China is rising significantly, particularly at Guangzhou because of pent-up demand in the Pearl River Delta.
The new Guangzhou airport was opened in August 2004. The construction cost was US$2.3 billion and it is almost four times the size of the old airport in downtown Guangzhou. The new airport is capable of handling 25 million passengers and 1 million tonnes of cargo per year and ranks number three for aviation fuel sales in mainland China.

Acquisition of Natural Gas and Liquid Natural Gas Businesses

Fortune Oil is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with
Everthriving Investment Group ("Everthriving Investment") to acquire 65% of the
share capital of 3 of its subsidiaries. Everthriving Investment is a privately
owned Chinese LNG and Natural Gas business.

The total consideration payable for all 3 subsidiaries is an estimated initial
payment of RMB 104.6 million (GBP9.71 million) and deferred payment of RMB 50
million (GBP4.64 million). One of the subsidiaries made a net profit of RMB
23.1 million (GBP2.14 million) on turnover of RMB 40.1 million (GBP3.72 million)
in its last financial year.

The acquisitions will be effected via a newly incorporated wholly-owned
subsidiary, Fortune Gas Technology Co., Ltd, and will be funded from the

natural gas business. Everthriving's subsidiary businesses provide the Company
with a broader portfolio of LNG refuelling facilities, increased LNG
transportation capabilities with the addition of 50 LNG trucks and improved
technical capabilities in natural gas processing.

First Gas Sales Agreement at Liulin Block

Highlights

� First Gas Sales Agreement ("GSA") at Liulin Block amounting to annual gross
sales of RMB 52.1 million (GBP5.01 million).

� The entire coal bed methane ("CBM") production (as outlined in the GSA)
from the Liulin Block will be resold at an attractive margin.

� Hunger for natural gas in Shanxi province is outpacing supply for each
client segment (e.g. Transportation, Residential and Commercial, etc).

� Validates decision to partner with China United Coal Bed Methane
Corporation ("CUCBM") and China United Shanxi CBM Company Limited ("Shanxi
CBM").

Fortune Oil is pleased to announce the signing of the first GSA for its Liulin
Block CBM. Fortune Oil, through its 85% subsidiary Fortune Gas Investment
Holdings Ltd, holds 65% of Fortune Liulin Gas Co Ltd. ("FLG"), which itself has
a 50% revenue sharing interest in the Liulin Block, the other 50% interest being
held by CUCBM. The remaining 35% interest in FLG is owned by Dart Energy
Limited.

The GSA signed between CUCBM, as the Chinese gas rights owner, and Shanxi CBM is
a 15-year agreement requiring Shanxi CBM to purchase 100,000 cubic meters per
day of CBM gas on a take-or-pay basis. The GSA applies to CBM gas sales
commencing 1 June 2011, with take-or-pay obligations commencing 1 June 2012. The
price is RMB 1.58 per cubic meter including recently enacted Chinese government
subsidies (subject to annual escalation and review) which equates to
US$6.59/gigajoule. A full years' supply, assuming no escalation, at the minimum
volume level would equate to gross sales of RMB 52.1 million (GBP5.01 million).

The gas produced from the Liulin block will be purchased and then resold to
market, at a significant premium, by Shanxi CBM. Fortune Oil has a 50% equity
interest in Shanxi CBM held through two subsidiaries of Fortune Gas Investment
Holdings Ltd, Fortune Gas Investment Co. Ltd and Beijing Fu Hua Green Energy
Technical Co. Ltd. Shanxi CBM is mandated by the Shanxi central and provincial
governments to market CBM for local (i.e. Shanxi province) consumption.

The CBM from the Liulin Block will be utilised in a variety of natural gas
markets across Shanxi province. The demand in Shanxi province for clean burning
and low carbon natural gas continues to expand rapidly in all of the major
energy sectors including power generation, as a transportation fuel, and for
residential use.

The Liulin Block covers 198km2 and is located 35 km from Luliang and 500 km
south-west of Beijing within the south-east Ordos Basin in Shanxi Province. The
project currently has certified 3P reserves of 89 petajoules and is designated a
State Special Pilot Project enabling the acceleration of the exploration and
development programme. The development plan for the Liulin Block consists of 176
production wells targeting three coal seams with high gas content and
saturations.

Mr. Qian Benyuan, Chairman of Fortune Oil, commented:

"We are extremely pleased to have brought the Liulin CBM project to initial
commercial operations. This is a significant milestone towards monetizing the
full value of Liulin CBM for our shareholders. Through this GSA we now have
achieved end-to-end gas from production to consumption - fully integrating our
CBM business. We look forward to building additional CBM volume to meet the
increasing demand of "clean energy" in Shanxi province. The positive long term
relationships which we have forged with our partners CUCBM and Shanxi CBM has
made this achievement possible."
