The OGX Petroleo e Gas Participacoes SA ("OGX") (Bovespa: OGXP3, OTC: OGXPY.PK), a Brazilian company of oil and natural gas accounts for the largest private sector exploratory campaign in Brazil announced today that it has submitted to the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP) Declaration of Commercial Viability of the accumulation of Waikiki, whose proposed new name is Hammerhead Shark Field, contained in the block BM-C-39 and BM-C- 40, in shallow waters of the Campos Basin. OGX holds 100% interest in these blocks.

"We will continue to focus on new areas for exploration campaign and implementation of our projects in search of the shortest time between discovery and first oil, maximizing cash generation of short and medium term," added Mr. Mendonca.

The concept of producing complex Waikiki which the field is part of shark hammer contemplates the production units OSX and WHP-3-2, which are built by Modec and Techint, respectively.
