ADX Energy Ltd recommends that potential investors consult their professional advisor/s as an investment in the company is considered to be speculative in nature.

CONTINGENT RESOURCES & DEFINITIONS

Tunisia: Refer to ASX announcements 26/9/2012 (contingent) and 6/9/2013 (prospective). Italy: Refer to ASX announcements 17/2/2016 & 14/2/2017 (contingent) and 21/4/2016 (prospective). ADX confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that affects the information included in those market announcements and that all the material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates in the relevant market announcement continue to apply and have not materially changed.

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.

Appraisal & Development Strategy

==> picture [85 x 58] intentionally omitted <==

  • ADX has large existing Contingent Resource base at the Nilde Oil Redevelopment and Dougga Gas Condensate -

  • Discovery converting these resources to reserves will create exceptional value growth;

Convert Large Resource Base to Reserves

1. Nilde is a low risk project with proven production performance and substantial 2C resource - Now Farm out ready

2. Dougga is a large liquid rich, tested gas condensate discovery well defined on Geostreamer 3D Seismic,

  • Feasibility Studies, Resources Re-evaluation & Sourcing Drilling Rig Underway for Appraisal Well

Production Opportunities available in Romania capable of delivering immediate cash flow and value addition through production enhancement and reserves additions. Leverage in country knowledge, relationships, partnerships and experience as JV – operator.

Compliment Resources with Production Introduce New Sources of Capital in line with maturation of Asset Base

Background

Acquired as exploration permit, remaining potential of Nilde identified by ADX in late 2015, independently audited in February 2016 and project feasibility undertaken in 2016 / 2017

Resource Attributes

Substantial remaining resource (2C of approximately 33 MMBBL) defined by multiple wells, an extensive geological data base and production history

Preferred Development Option

A collaboration with Calm Oceans via a preferred development option utilising a self-installing Mono Column Platform (MCP) and a gravity based storage and offloading system (RPSO) which would enhance the overall viability of the Development in terms of economics, feasibility and operability

Additional Potential

Economic Potential at US$ 40/bbl

Excellent project economics due to reservoir high productivity, light sweet crude, shallow drill depths, shallow water depth and low royalties

2 Tested Oil Discoveries 2 MMbbls (1C) to 15 MMbbls(3C) resource potential

Post Tax NPV10 = US$200 to 650 million @ approx US40/bbl for 1C to 3C case

  • Detailed reservoir modelling updated probabilistic contingent resource numbers from early 2016 by Senergy GB Limited (Senergy).

  • Senergy are well respected independent reserves certifier from Lloyds Group of Companies

  • Expanded range, particularly to the upside results from

  • Core evaluation; more significant fracture system

  • Detailed Petrophysics & Saturation Height modelling; deeper oil water contact, improved porosity in lower oil layers

Notes regarding Oil Resource Volumes

1 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.

  • 2 1C, 2C, 3C Estimates: in a probabilistic resource size distribution these are the P90 (90% probability), P50, and P10, respectively, for individual opportunities .

Nilde Development Concept Selection

MCP & RPSO Facilities Option

MCP – Leased Production Platform

  • Calm Oceans Pte Ltd (COPL) COPL has developed and constructed a selfinstalling Mono Column Platform (MCP)

  • The MCP is capable of supporting a drilling rig, production processing equipment water and gas reinjection facilities as well as accommodation

  • Enables field to be redeveloped with reduced well costs (less 60%) enabling dry trees and reinjection of produced fluids

  • MCP provides significant capex and opex savings over an FPSO as well as superior operability and well intervention.

Nilde Immediate Way Forward

==> picture [85 x 58] intentionally omitted <==

Funding and Farmout

  • Taken longer than expected to get all required data & information for credible value proposition

  • Resource, project feasibility and economics results to date are highly compelling

  • Asset already generating significant interest in UK

  • Commenced formal financing and farmout process

Project Development Planning and Appraisal

  • Ongoing discussions with Italian Authorities to enable license operations

  • Goal is to progress appraisal well planning and Nilde Redevelopment planning in parallel to enable submission of development plan after drilling a successful appraisal well.

  • An appraisal well is pre-investment to ensure an optimal subsurface development plan and secure project finance.

Contractor Collaboration

  • Collaboration with capable contractors is enabling ADX to progress a material project at low cost while ensuring the appropriate skills and experience is deployed on the project

Large Prospective Resource Potential

ADX Best Case Estimate : 1,027 mmboe

Note 1. Prospective and contingent resources were calculated using the probabilistic method and are best estimates. Conversion factor: 1BOE = 5.62 scf. Reporting date: prospective resources 6 Sept 2013, contingent resources 26 Sept 2012.

  • The Dougga 1 well intersected approx 300 m gross gas column and tested condensate rich gas in 1981.

  • Dougga 1 is located in 328m of water, 45kms east of Cap Bon. Dougga gas is liquids-rich but also contains 18% to 30% CO2.

  • ADX acquired 3D seismic over the field and near field prospects.

  • Prior to the Arab spring, highly reputable independent expert AGR Tracs assessed that the field was likely to be commercialised.

  • Previous project economics assumed offshore floating facilities.

  • Near field discovery tie in opportunities and large exploration potential defined on 3 D seismic.

What Has Changed Recently

  • Improvement in the political landscape and willingness of Tunisian Authorities to consider revised fiscal terms

  • Potential to significantly reduce Capex with revised development option.

  • Tunisia has become net importer of gas
