Notes to editors

EnQuest is the largest UK independent producer in the UK North Sea. EnQuest PLC
trades on both the London Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ OMX Stockholm. It is a
constituent of the FTSE 250 index. Its assets include the Thistle, Deveron,
Heather, Broom, West Don, Don Southwest and Conrie producing fields and the Alma
and Galia development. At the end of 2011, EnQuest had interests in 22
production licences covering 27 blocks or part blocks in the UKCS, of which 19
licences were operated by EnQuest.

EnQuest believes that the UKCS represents a significant hydrocarbon basin in a
low-risk region, which continues to benefit from an extensive installed
infrastructure base and skilled labour. EnQuest believes that its assets offer
material organic growth opportunities, driven by exploitation of current
infrastructure on the UKCS and the development of low risk near field
opportunities.
