VPP OVERVIEW
 A Volumetric Production Payment (“VPP”) is a conversion tool whereby a specified BTU volume is
delivered to the Pool Investor (fixed) for a specified future position (floating)
 A Delta Global Structured VPP is a REPO of future hydrocarbon production and is conveyed through the
swap of a limited volumetric BTU equivalency
 In exchange for the VPP interest, the Counterparty contributes margin or eligible collateral and accepts inkind BTUs marked-to-future market for upfront option to trigger conversion/redemption
 When the total specified volume is created by Producer and available to Pool Investor(s) the fractional
VPP terminates and the convertible interests are exchanged bespoken, notionally adjusted, or Fx
reconciled

Modified VPP Structure – Delayed Start VPP
Delayed Start VPP would allow company to
receive cash proceeds on day 1 but begin
delivery under the VPP at a later date
Delayed delivery is attractive for fields with
existing production and additional
development opportunities
 The modified structure would generate
capital for the development upfront, but
allow the deliveries to coincide with
production under the new development
project
 Company would thus retain a share of the
field’s production at all times, assuming
development stayed on schedule
Delayed Start VPP Reserves Profile
Modified VPP Structures
Any number of modified VPP structures enhance the advance rate/conversion
rate/redemption rate and mitigate operational risks. These in-kind
creation/redemption trades include:
 Volume Limited
 IRR/ROI Limited
 PDNP/PUD adjustment of iNAV through BTU Facility swapped/collateral
substituted in-kind with VPP trades
 Pool "D" Structures where VPP Counterparty on bespoken swap is responsible
for Opex and Capex related to VPP volumes
Prepay Swap Transaction Example
A Prepayment (‘Prepay’ ) is a in-kind collateral substitution tool whereby Producer hedges a
specified volume for a fixed tenor with a financial swap which is then discounted and
margin/collateral is advanced to the Producer (fixed/floating or floating/fixed)
Preferred Derivative Tool for BTU Arbitrage Transactions
Transaction Size: $50,000 US - $4,000,000 US
