OPERATIONS REPORT Production Activities

ZISTERSDORF AND GAISELBERG PRODUCTION ASSETS – Vienna Basin, Austria

ADX is operator and holds a 100% interest in the production

Production Operations

Field production rate averaged 275 BOEPD, a 20% decrease compared the previous quarter. The decrease was due to a number of well failures (pumping and well bore blockages) over the period and some decline from a new oil production zone perforated in an existing well which commenced production in April 2021.

A program of workovers commenced in early October 2021 to restore production due to pump failures, acid clean up to improve production and access behind pipe production from previously not produced reservoir intervals in existing wells. The expected increase in production rate at the completion of this work in November 2021 is approximately 100 – 150 BOEPD of incremental production.

It should be noted that the Zistersdorf and Gaiselberg fields have multi-layered reservoirs (approximately 50 reservoir layers) with the potential for ongoing reserves and production additions by accessing not previously produced layers in the field from existing wells (behind pipe reserves). Technical studies have been undertaken to identify further opportunities for production and reserves increases from behind pipe reserves. Details regarding these studies are referred to later in this report.

Field Reserves Review

Following the completion of an internal field reserves review, ADX has commissioned a Competent Persons Report (“CPR”) for the fields based on a 30 June 2021 calculation date.

The Competent Person has considered the results of the ADX internal review incorporating:

==> picture [8 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • both historical and ongoing production field data;

==> picture [8 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • a reprocessed 3D data seismic dataset and the extensive field well data base into a 3D geological model for the field;

==> picture [8 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • a history matched reservoir simulation model; and

==> picture [8 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • the utilisation of a reservoir simulation model to forecast future production and reserves estimates.

ASX RELEASE

==> picture [93 x 60] intentionally omitted <==

ADX expects to be able to release the results of the CPR in the coming weeks which will include a valuation of the fields.

It is anticipated that the simulation model will also be used to assist in optimisation of field production including further well operations to access behind pipe reserves which may enhance field production rates at a relatively low cost thereby enhancing field profitability.

In addition to the Gaiselberg and Zistersdorf CPR, ADX has requested a review of ADX prospective resource assessment for the Anshof and OHO prospects in its AGS exploration licences in Upper Austria.

Well Work Over Program

A work over program commenced in October to undertake well maintenance work as well as a program to perforate existing wells where there is potential to access previously not produced oil zones (behind pipe reserves). The combination of the well maintenance work is expected to restore recently curtailed production as well as the access of behind pipe reserves to enhance oil production rates. Additional initial production rates from the program are expected to be between 100 to 150 BOEPD.

Additional production from the fields is expected to be highly profitable given the current oil price.

The well work is expected to include the following operations:

==> picture [8 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • restoration of three pump failures;

==> picture [8 x 12] intentionally omitted <==

  • acid clean up to improve productivity on two wells; and

==> picture [8 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • behind pipe perforations on up to three wells.

Exploration Activities

Upper Austria AGS Licenses – Austria

ADX is operator and holds a 100% interest in the licenses

Anshof-1 Well

ADX operational activities have focused on land access, planning, procurement and licensing for the Anshof-1 exploration well. Based on the work undertaken to date, ADX is targeting a spud date for the Anshof-1 well in late December 2021.

Anshof (ANS) is a 3D seismically defined prospect located updip from existing oil production from adjacent fields. It targets the proven and highly productive Eocene (primary target) and Cenomanian shallow marine sandstone reservoirs. ANS has a best technical case prospective resource potential of 6.6 MMBOE [note 1] with significant upside potential in the primary Eocene sandstone reservoir objective at a drill depth of only 2,000 metres MD. Following contractor engagement, the well cost including deeper Cenomanian secondary target is estimated to be EUR 2.0 million. The economic potential for this prospect is exceptional given the high chance of success, relatively low well cost and proximity to accessible infrastructure [note 2] .

Note 1: Original Resources Reporting Date: Upper Austria Exploration was on 30/11/2020, Resources estimates were further revised on 30/3/21.

Note 2: ADX has access and tariff arrangements with RAG Exploration & Production GmbH (RAG E&P) for infrastructure proximal to Anshof.

Success at ANS-1 will de-risk multiple follow up prospects and appraisal opportunities (Eocene Play). A substantial follow up to Anshof is the recently matured Gruenburg prospect. Updated prospective resource estimates for the Gruenburg prospect shown below immediately to the south of Anshof will be released to shareholders in the coming months.

Oberholz-2 Prospect (OHO)

The OHO prospect is a high impact, Jurassic play opening prospect with a large best technical case prospective resource of 20 MMBOE oil potential [note 1] . The target depth is 4,125 metres MD and the dry hole cost is estimated at EUR 6.6 million. The well cost is significantly higher than Anshof, however with increasing oil and gas price, OHO is a very attractive exploration target. OHO is geologically analogous with the OMV operated Hoeflein field in the Vienna Basin which has approximately 80 mmboe 2P reserves. Drilling approvals and a ready to use well site are available, significantly shortening the time frame to drilling once finance is available. ADX

Farmout Process

Given the large resource potential within ADX’ portfolio in Upper Austria, ADX has engaged a highly experienced advisor in the U.K. to assist with securing farmouts for further drilling after Anshof. The combination 3D matured prospects with potentially highly productive reservoirs in an onshore setting proximal to infrastructure with guaranteed access is expected to attract interest in the current oil and gas price environment.

Independent Resources Review

ADX has commissioned an independent consultant to undertake a review of the ANS and OHO prospects. The review will opine on ADX resources assessments and risking for the prospects. The results of the review will be provided to shareholders and potential farminees in support of the farmout process.

Nilde Oil Field Redevelopment Project (Permit d 363C.R-.AX ) – Offshore Italy

ADX is operator and holds 100% interest in the d 363C.R-.AX Exploration Permit

ADX has commenced a process with the Italian Designated Authority to convert the exclusively awarded application to a ratified license. This process was commenced after the award by the Ministry of Industry.

No further activities have been undertaken on the Permit since ADX was advised on the 4[th] of February 2019 that the Italian Parliament passed legislation to suspend exploration activities in permits that have been approved or are in the process of being approved for a period of up to 18 months to enable the government authorities to evaluate the suitability of exploration areas for sustainable hydrocarbon exploration and production activities.

On 13 February 2021, Mr Mario Draghi was sworn in as Prime Minister of Italy pledging to oversee effective implementation of COVID-19 economic stimulus. ADX has been informally advised that Mr Draghi has requested the resumption of production and exploration activities in Italy. ADX is awaiting advice from the ministry to assess the timing of potential resumption of activities in the d 363C.R-.AX Exploration Permit.

Renewable Energy Projects - Austria

VIENNA BASIN GREEN HYDROGEN PROJECT

ADX has continued commercial and technical project definition activities for the project focussing on sourcing a green power provider for the production of green hydrogen as well as potential purchasers of green hydrogen.

ADX announced on the 5th of October 2021 that it had signed a Memorandum of Agreement (“MOA”) with Windkraft Simonsfeld AG (“WKS”) for the supply of green electricity and the joint development of a green hydrogen production and underground storage project in the Vienna Basin (Project).

WKS is a major Austrian based European wind power producer operating 91 wind power plants by end of this year, which will generate approximately 640 million kilowatt hours per year (equivalent to the power demand of 160,000 Austrian households). WKS operates and builds wind power plants near the Gaiselberg and Zisterdorf fields (ADX Fields) where green electricity generation capacity will be curtailed from time to time.

ADX and WKS have agreed the following roles and responsibilities for development of the Project to be incorporated in definitive agreements.

The figure above outlines the pilot phase and the upscaled phase of the Project as well as the various elements of the Project, many of which are already in place between ADX and WKS

The certainty of access to green power and joint development work by the parties enables the immediate technical and commercial definition of the Project with a view to capturing already identified near term hydrogen markets thereby increasing the certainty of rapid project formation.

The availability of underground field storage enables the production of green hydrogen during times when demand for Green Electricity is low or curtailed and selling green H2 for competitive prices. The storage system enables intermittent production of green hydrogen to be stored and sold on a stable, long term, non-interruptible supply basis.

The ADX fields are connected to the local and national methane gas networks. Since 1 July 2021 H2 can be directly delivered into existing methane pipeline system, currently at up to a 10% concentration of H2. The concentration of H2 is expected to increase over time.

Project Background

The ADX Fields are very suitable for green hydrogen storage due to their close proximity to major renewable electricity sources that can be used for electrolysis to produce green hydrogen, the availability of high-quality reservoirs at suitable depth which have proven their safe storage properties for millions of years as gas reservoirs, as well as excellent gas export infrastructure directly connected to the ADX Fields that can be used for the export of green hydrogen.

ASX RELEASE

==> picture [93 x 60] intentionally omitted <==

A number of Pannonian age high quality reservoirs have been identified which have historically contained methane. The reservoirs are ideally suited for the safe storage of green hydrogen. It is estimated that a single reservoir could hold, on average, around 60 GWh of energy in the form of hydrogen. This is the energy equivalent of powering approximately 20,000 households for an entire year. The business case for underground energy storage is enhanced by the everincreasing capacity of intermittent wind and solar energy.

In Austria alone a six-fold increase from currently 3.8 GW in wind and solar energy is necessary to meet the minimum European Union renewable energy targets by 2030. The largest wind and solar power generation capacity in Austria, Slovakia and Czech Republic is located close to the ADX Fields.

GEOTHERMAL PILOT PROJECT

On the 15[th] of July 2021 ADX announced that it had entered into a Letter of Intent with Siemens Energy and RED Drilling & Services GmbH (RED) to build and operate a well test site (Pilot Project) in Austria to evaluate geothermal to power technology. Subsequently ADX announced on the 28[th ] of September 2021 that it had finalised commercial arrangements and secured a well site for pilot project in cooperation with Siemens Energy and RED Drilling.

Under commercial arrangements ADX is the responsible party for all licensing and subsurface execution aspects of the Pilot Project, including permitting, engineering, geological analysis, operational planning and implementation.

ADX and RED have identified a suitable existing well site for the Pilot Project with the appropriate heat transfer attributes, an exceptionally high geothermal gradient and reservoirs with excellent flow capacities.

ADX is in the process of securing all necessary regulatory permits and agreements with the relevant authorities prior to commencement of pilot operations.

Siemens Energy will provide thermodynamic engineering work for the evaluation of the power generation system. RED will execute all well workover operations required and undertake well performance monitoring.

The Pilot Project is intended to provide the proof of concept for Siemens alternative geothermal energy conversion technology including improved efficiencies in generating electricity compared to conventional geothermal systems. By using an existing geothermal well, the Parties intend to develop know-how in the area of reuse-concepts for abandoned boreholes and/or reservoirs for the deployment of geothermal technology. Engineering, planning and procurement work commenced during October 2021.

The Pilot Project is expected to provide ADX with increased knowledge, experience and credibility to develop and deploy suitable geothermal power generation technologies on a large scale in ADX’ operated Austrian licenses as well as other Central European jurisdictions where ADX has identified geothermal power generation opportunities.

Background regarding ADX role in geothermal energy

Geothermal power generation in the appropriate geological setting is capable of providing a low-cost, constant and reliable carbon free energy source for heating or conversion to electrical power.

The geothermal industry is very well supported in Munich (Germany) which is proximal to ADX’ Upper Austria exploration acreage. The area contains proven geothermal reservoirs with large untapped potential in Austria where there is growing demand for town heating and industrial applications.

Persons compiling information about Hydrocarbons:

Pursuant to the requirements of the ASX Listing Rule 5.31, 5.41 and 5.42 the technical and reserves information relating to Austria contained in this release has been reviewed by Paul Fink as part of the due diligence process on behalf of ADX. Mr. Fink is Technical Director of ADX Energy Limited is a qualified geophysicist with 23 years of technical, commercial and management experience in exploration for, appraisal and development of oil and gas resources. Mr. Fink has reviewed the results, procedures and data contained in this release and considers the resource estimates to be fairly represented. Mr. Fink has consented to the inclusion of this information in the form and context in which it appears. Mr. Fink is a member of the EAGE (European Association of Geoscientists & Engineers) and FIDIC (Federation of Consulting Engineers).

Resource Classifications used in this release .

Contingent Resources are those quantities of petroleum estimated, as at 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 estimates that have a respectively 90% (P90), 50% (P50) and 10% (P10) probability that the quantities actually recovered will be exceeded.

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

Low Estimate scenario of Prospective Resources - denotes a conservative estimate of the quantity that will actually recovered from an accumulation by an oil and gas project. When probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 90% probability (P90) that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the low estimate.

Best Estimate scenario of Prospective resources - denotes the best estimate of the quantity that will actually be recovered from an accumulation by an oil and gas project. It is the most realistic assessment of recoverable quantities if only a single result were reported. When probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 50 % probability (P50) that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the best estimate.

High Estimate scenario of Prospective Resources - denotes an optimistic scenario of the quantity that will actually be recovered from an accumulation by an oil and gas project. When probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 10% probability that the quantities actually recovered will be equal or exceed the high estimate. ADX has only reported Best Estimate Prospective Resources Scenarios in this release.

Prospective resources have been estimated on the following basis.

ADX has calculated resource estimates probabilistically under the PRMS guidelines outlined in chapter 4.2.3 (June 2018 revision), following the interpretation of all available well data and seismic data including 3D seismic data within the licenses and within the basin.

Historical success rates for exploration in the basin have been high when utilizing 3D seismic. A similar success rate is expected for future drilling given the proximity to oil and gas fields. Given the availability of infrastructure and high-quality productive reservoirs in the basin there is a high probability that successful exploration or appraisal will result in commercial production.
