Contingent Resources: those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from known accumulations but, for which the applied project(s) are not yet considered mature enough for commercial development due to one or more contingencies.

1C, 2C, 3C Estimates: in a probabilistic resource size distribution these are the P90 (90% probability), P50, and P10, respectively, for individual opportunities . Totals are by arithmetic summation as recommended under PRMS guidelines. This results in a conservative low case total and optimistic high case total.

DOUGGA – History and Market Relevance

Project History

Dougga Base Case Production (Ideal Product Yields)

  •  Dougga Discovered by Shell in 1981

  •  ADX 3D seismic acquired in 2010

  •  Nearby Lambouka gas discovery 2010

  •  Arab Spring interruption 2011

  •  Dougga feasibility studies 2017

  • Dougga Sud Appraisal Well 2018/19

Strategic Project - Ideally placed

  • Strong government and state oil company support

  • Proximal to gas export and domestic gas infrastructure

Dougga Potential Production compared to current total Tunisian production

  • Tunisia is highly dependent on gas for power generation, industrial use and LPG household use

Sales Gas LPGs Tunisia Production (2014 EIA Data) Dougga Potential Addition

  • Dougga production has the potential to increase Tunisian production by 55% for gas and by 95% for LPGs

  • Tunisia currently 60% net importer of gas; 95% of electricity generated from gas; gas demand growing at 6%

  • ~$7/mcf with Oil-equivalent gas pricing

  • State-owned gas wholesaler STEG to purchase all available gas

DOUGGA – Time Right for Development and Expansion

Changes to Project Viability

Resource Expansion opportunities

  • Dougga “Megastructure” upside within and outside Kerkouane permit

  • Low risk emerging MENA economy with accelerating 10% per annum GDP growth

Gas Hub Development potential

  • Excellent access to gas infrastructure

  • Tariffs from smaller stranded gas discoveries with high liquids and CO2

  • Desperate need for domestic gas and LPG

  • Resource well defined with 3D seismic

  • Near field exploration mapped on 3D and 2D seismic

  • High flow assurance and proven development concept utilising now commonplace subsea technology

  • Potential to export gas via Transmed pipeline to Europe

Original FPSO
Development
1982 - 1988
----- End of picture text -----

Project History

  • Oil field developed in early 1980s with primitive FPSO and well production technology

  • Prematurely abandoned due to drop in oil price to US$ 14 per bbl and inability to deal with water production.

  • 20mmbbl produced from the upper zone from estimated OIIP up to 300 mmbbl (recovery < 7%)

  • Original development was unable to lift water in wells or process water on FPSO

Nilde Oil Field Historical Production

  • Moderate water (90 m) & drill depths (1600 m)

Remaining Nilde Resource Potential

  • 34 mmbbl 2C remaining oil resource recoverable over 5 years - Based on forward forecast from history matched reservoir simulation.

  • Excellent economic returns; high production rates, light sweet crude, low capex per barrel and excellent fiscal terms

Nilde Area Resources

Additional Resource Potential

Nilde : 34.1 mmbbl remaining 2C Contingent Norma : 3.9 mmbbl Resource[1] : Naila : 1.7 mmbbl Permit Total : 39.7 mmbbl remaining Prospective 90 mmbbl (best estimate) Resource[1] :

  • 2 tested discoveries in tie back distance with combined 5.6mmbbl 2C recoverable oil potential

  • 5 Nilde style leads with 90mmbbl prospective resource

Note 1: Refer to ASX announcements 17/2/2016 & 29/03/2018 (contingent) and 21/4/2016 (prospective).

  • NPV10 range at US$55/bbl oil price between US$300 – 950 Million

  • All resources cases demonstrate high profitability, rapid paybacks and low oil price profitability (sub US$20/ bbl)

  • High profit investment ratios are the result of low pre production costs and robust NPV’s

  • Lease costs are favourable compared to an FPSO option but deliver significantly lower drilling and completion capex

Parta Appraisal Program – Economic Potential

Economic Summary of initial two well program

  • US$5 million drilling and testing program could generate a Post tax NPV10 of ~ US$80 million from multi zone development.

  • If only one zone is successful in each well, ~US$13 million of Post Tax NPV10 can still be realised

  • Excellent Expected Economics due to:

  • Low drilling & development costs

  • Short development time frame

  • Strong gas pricing (US$6.50+)

  • Strong gas market demand
