ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

ASX: TDO 3D Energi Limited │

11 December 2025

Otway Exploration Drilling Program

Drilling Commences at Charlemont-1 Exploration Well

3D Energi Limited (the “Company”; ASX: TDO) is pleased to announce that drilling has commenced at the Charlemont-1 gas exploration well within the VIC/P79 exploration permit, offshore Otway Basin, Victoria ( Figure 1 ), where it holds a 20% participating interest .

Highlights

  • Drilling has commenced at the Charlemont-1 gas exploration well, the second well of the 2025 Otway Exploration Drilling Program (OEDP).

  • Charlemont-1 is targeting ~ 93 Bcf[1,2] mean gross prospective resource (unrisked recoverable) in the Waarre A reservoir.

  • 3D Energi’s 81% Chance of Success reflects strong geophysical support, including an amplitude anomaly conforming with structure and well-developed flat spot, consistent with a gas-water contact.

  • The well is expected to take approximately 32.9 days to drill to a total depth (TD) of 2830m TVDSS[3] , subject to operational conditions, including wireline logging activities.

  • Further updates will be provided as drilling progresses through key milestones.

1Prospective Resources are those estimated quantities of petroleum that may potentially be recovered by the application of a future development project(s) relate to undiscovered accumulations. These estimates have both a risk of discovery and a risk of development. Further exploration appraisal and evaluation is required to determine the existence of a significant quantity of potentially recoverable hydrocarbons.

Charlemont-1 Spuds – Building on Essington Momentum

Drilling has commenced at the Charlemont-1 gas exploration well within the VIC/P79 exploration permit, located offshore Otway Basin, Victoria ( Figure 1 ). Charlemont-1 was spudded by operator ConocoPhillips Australia at 7:30pm AEST on 10 December 2025 using the Transocean Equinox drilling rig.

Charlemont-1 is targeting the Charlemont B Prospect and is located approximately 55km offshore from Port Campbell, in water depths of approximately 110m . Charlemont B is the penultimate prospect at one end of a prospect chain, with the La Bella gas discovery at the other, approximately 7km to the east ( Figure 2 ). All intervening prospects — including Charlemont B — share similar geophysical response as La Bella.

Charlemont-1 is the second of two (2) wells in the initial phase of the Otway Exploration Drilling Program (OEDP), which seeks to identify commercially viable natural gas reserves to help supply Australia’s East Coast market and meet current and future energy needs.

The full program proposes drilling up to six (6) exploration wells, with the second phase comprising up to four (4) additional optional wells.

Charlemont-1 Targeting Material Resource Growth in VIC/P79

The Charlemont-1 exploration well is targeting 93 Bcf gross mean[4] prospective resource from the Waarre A reservoir (see Table 1 for full prospective resource estimates). Charlemont B prospect demonstrates strong Direct Hydrocarbon Indicators (DHIs)– like Essington – including an amplitude anomaly that conforms to depth closure and a flat spot ( Figures 3 and 4 ). Together, these features underpin the 81% Chance of Success.

Technical risks at Charlemont-1 include potential fault seal leakage, which may reduce gas saturation, and elevated CO₂ concentrations linked to deep-seated fault systems. Reservoir deliverability will be confirmed using the Ora formation testing platform.

Forward Plan

Charlemont-1 is expected to take approximately 32.9 days to drill to a planned Total Depth (TD) of ~2,830m TVDSS , subject to operational conditions, and complete wireline logging activities over the reservoir interval to assess hydrocarbon presence and reservoir quality. Formation testing of the Waarre A using the Ora Platform is planned in the event of hydrocarbon presence.

Further updates will be provided as Charlemont-1 progresses through key operational milestones.

Prospective Resources Statement (LR 5.25, 5.28, 5.43)

All prospective resources presented in this announcement are prepared as at 30 June 2025, as disclosed in the Company’s ASX release titled “Multi-TCF Gas Prospectivity in the Otway Basin” dated 30 June 2025. This announcement should be read in conjunction with that earlier release, which contains all of the information required by ASX Listing Rules 5.25 to 5.41.

The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the prospective resource estimates included in the 30 June 2025 announcement, and that all the material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the resource estimations in that announcement continue to apply and have not materially changed.

Estimates of prospective resources have been prepared in accordance with the definitions and guidelines of the Society of Petroleum Engineers Petroleum Resources Management System (SPE-PRMS, 2018) and the ASX Listing Rules. These estimates were prepared using probabilistic methods, incorporating a range of uncertainty on reservoir input parameters to predict the likely range of outcomes, and are reported in the categories of Low Estimate (P90), Best Estimate (P50), and High Estimate (P10). All resource categories reflect unrisked recoverable volumes.

All petroleum estimates have been aggregated by arithmetic summation by category (low estimate, best estimate, high estimate). Where prospective resources have been aggregated beyond the field level by arithmetic summation, the aggregate low estimate may be a conservative estimate and the aggregate high estimate may be optimistic due to portfolio effects.

Competent Persons Statement

The prospective resource estimates in this announcement are based on and fairly represents information and supporting documentation prepared by Daniel Thompson, who is a Qualified Petroleum Reserves and Resources Evaluator (QPRRE). Daniel is an employee of 3D Energi Limited and is a member of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists. Daniel has more than 10 years of relevant experience and has consented to the inclusion of the estimates in the form and context in which they appear.
