Beach Energy 2021 AGM Chairman and Acting Chief Executive Officer Addresses
Date 10 November 2021
Chairman’s Address
Slide 1 – Annual General Meeting
Good morning ladies and gentlemen and welcome. My name is Glenn Davis, the Chair of Beach Energy. I declare open the 2021 Beach Energy Annual General Meeting.
Slide 2 - Acknowledgement of Country
We acknowledge the traditional country of the Kaurna People of the Adelaide Plain and we pay our respect to their Elders past, present and emerging. We also recognise and respect their cultural heritage, beliefs and spiritual relationship with the land and acknowledge that they are of continuing importance to the Kaurna People today.
Virtual AGM format
This year we are again holding the AGM in a virtual format due to Covid-19. As Australia is soon to open up hopefully a more regular format will return next year.
The online platform we are using today allows Shareholders, Proxies and Guests to attend the meeting remotely. All attendees can watch a live webcast of the meeting. In addition, shareholders and proxies have the ability to ask questions and submit votes on the poll in real time.
Slide 3 – Compliance statements
Our compliance statements are set out on slide 3 of today’s AGM presentation for those of you who wish to review them later.
Slide 4 – Chairman’s address

Ms Margaret Hall, who is standing for election as a director today has also joined us virtually. Mr Anthony Jones from our auditors Ernst & Young will also be available to answer questions in relation to the 2021 financial accounts and remuneration report should there be any. I would also like to welcome all our shareholders participating online.
Before we move to the formalities, there are several housekeeping matters to mention. For obvious reasons resolution 3 is withdrawn and won't be put to the vote today.
In terms of participation, shareholders have been provided with instructions as to how to participate and vote at the AGM, with details available on our website along with guides for how to participate online through your desktop or mobile device.
We have received a number of questions from shareholders in advance of the meeting which will either be addressed in my formal remarks or I will endeavour to address during the course of the meeting.
Slide 5 – Lumi Instructions – submitting a question online
Questions can be submitted through the online meeting platform at any time during the meeting. This will open the question component of the platform. To ask a question, select the messaging tab at the top of the Lumi platform. At the top of that tab there is a section for you to type your question. Once you have finished typing, please hit the arrow symbol to send.
Questions will be addressed in a single consolidated question and answer session covering all items of business. We will not have a separate Q&A session after each item is put formally to the meeting. These questions will be moderated to avoid repetition and if questions are particularly lengthy, we may need to summarise them in the interests of time.
Slide 6 – Lumi Instructions – submitting a question online
For those shareholders who wish to ask a verbal question, an audio question facility is available during the meeting. To use this service, please pause the broadcast on the Lumi platform and then select the link under “Asking audio questions”.
A new page will open where you will be prompted to enter your name and the topic of your question before being connected. You will listen to the meeting on this page while waiting to ask your question. If you have any issues using this system, please return to the Lumi platform.
Question time will be at the conclusion of the CEO’s presentation. In an effort to streamline the virtual format we will not be pausing for questions after I put each resolution.

GD: Slide 7 – Lumi Instructions – how to vote
Consistent with best practice, I have determined that all items of business will be decided on a poll. I will open the polls now, and keep them open, so you can vote at any time during the meeting until the poll is closed.
If you are eligible to vote at this meeting and have logged into the online platform, a voting icon that looks like a bar graph will appear on your device screen or navigation bar. Once you have selected this, the resolutions will appear on your screen, and you can select a voting option. There is no need to hit a “submit” or “enter” button as the vote is automatically recorded.
Doris Grave from Computershare will act as the Returning Officer for the purposes of conducting and determining the results of the poll, the results of which will be announced to the ASX later today.
The voting icon should soon appear if it hasn’t already. Please select your votes at any time. You can change your vote at any time during the meeting until I declare the polls closed. I will provide a warning before declaring the poll for all resolutions closed, to allow sufficient time for votes to be submitted.
If you are having any difficulties in locating the voting icon, please refer to the detailed guides available on the Beach Energy website.
Slide 8 – Chairman’s Address
With those instructions behind us, let’s now move on to the rest of the meeting.
Slide 9 – Executive Team/People
I want to commence my remarks this morning by discussing our people. Beach is a team of 550 hardworking dedicated people.
They are led by an excellent group of executives who between them collectively have almost 200 years of experience.
Unfortunately, we lost one of our executives, our most senior executive, last week. After coming on board 6 years ago, our MD Matt Kay, tendered his resignation.
Whilst that is close to the average span of a CEO in corporate Australia, we’re very sorry to see Matt go.
Matt has done exactly what he was asked to do when we approached him over 6 years ago:
Beach Energy Limited | Private & Confidential
Page 4 of 15
2021 Annual General Meeting - Addresses and Presentation | 10 November 2021
-
Through the Lattice acquisition he has grown the business substantially;
-
Through that growth he has diversified the company across multiple basins and production hubs delivering gas into tightening Australian east coast, New Zealand and LNG markets;
-
Matt brough a great focus to safety and improved our safety culture and performance to achieve our best year ever; and importantly,
-
He built a team of highly talented executives who we are confident will take the company forward.
The board and I commend and thank Matt for all that he has done. Matt, you did a tremendous job of which you should be justifiably proud, and we wish you the very best. We will of course commence a process to identify Matt’s long-term successor but that will take some time.
In the interim Morné Englebrecht has been appointed as acting CEO. Morné has more than 20 years of experience, has been our CFO for more than 5 years and knows our business intimately.
The board has every confidence in Morné, the executive and the broader Beach team in continuing to execute on our strategy. They have all been doing a great job and we know they will continue to do so.
At board level Joycelyn Morton is not standing for re-election today. Joycelyn has a couple of exciting new boards that will keep her fully occupied and we wish her the very best and thank her for her hard work and commitment. We are of course in the process of considering options for a replacement director.
We also lose Ryan Stokes from the board today. Thank you Ryan for your contribution and dedication at board level over the last five years and we wish you well as Seven Group Holdings continues to grow.
Slide 10 – Executing our Strategy
Despite these changes our strategy doesn’t change - and the last twelve months have been extremely busy, as the team delivers on that strategy.
First and foremost, FY21 was our safest year on record – something we take significant pride in given the level of activity in delivering on our substantial projects.
I want to thank and congratulate our staff and contractors on an outstanding result and please keep up that great work.
Our production for the year was of course substantially impacted by the decline experienced on the Western Flank and Morné will discuss this in more detail shortly.
Beach Energy Limited | Private & Confidential

2021 Annual General Meeting - Addresses and Presentation | 10 November 2021
But despite those challenges, the diversity and resilience of Beach saw the company record an underlying net profit after tax of $363 million in FY21.
As we continue our growth campaign, the company’s strong balance sheet allows us to invest circa $1 billion in FY22 as we move towards our FY24 production target of 28 million barrels of oil equivalent.
Slide 11 – Sustainability at Beach
In delivering on our growth ambitions, Beach continues to focus on its ESG performance with some of our endeavours set out in the slide.
We recognise that climate change is one of the most important global challenges of this century.
We accept we have a role to play in managing our carbon emissions.
Slide 12 – 25 by 25
We have set ourselves a real near-term emissions reduction target and as at the end of FY21, we are pleased to be about halfway to meeting our 25 by 25 plan.
Physical plant modifications and a conscious change in our approach to operations have contributed to this.
And our recent commitment to the Moomba CCS project will see a step change in reducing our emissions in 2024 when we will commence injecting carbon into depleted reservoirs in the Cooper Basin.
Slide 13 – Closing
Morné will address you shortly about that project and other operational issues but before he does, we should pause to reflect on and celebrate Beach’s 60[th] birthday this financial year.
The company has come a long way from the one that drilled its first well in 1962 at a location which is now the 9[th ] hole on the Grange Golf Course. And our evolution is continuing.
In 2023 we will join the exclusive LNG club and we will be well positioned as a key supplier of domestic gas in both Australia and New Zealand across multiple basins and markets. Whilst much has been achieved in the last 60 years, as always, there is still more work to be done. That work is being done by a dedicated and motivated team at Beach who I thank for all of their efforts in the past 12 months.
Beach Energy Limited | Private & Confidential

And finally, a thank you to our shareholders for your continued support. With that I will hand over to our Acting Chief Executive Officer Morné Engelbrecht.
Acting CEO Address
Slide 14 – Opening
Thank you Glenn.
Hello and welcome to everyone joining us today. For those who don’t know me, my name is Morné Engelbrecht and I am the Acting Chief Executive Officer of Beach Energy.
Glenn has already covered off on Matt Kay’s departure but I want to also thank him for his efforts in transforming Beach into the company that it is today.
A company that is not only diversified but one that is poised to deliver future growth for shareholders.
I look forward to sharing more information about that shortly.
But first I wanted to give you a little bit of history about myself.
I joined Beach as Chief Financial Officer in 2016.
Over that time, I worked closely with Matt and the Board on delivering Beach’s growth aspirations, while maintaining our financial strength.
This included:
-
The acquisition of Lattice Energy
-
The bolt-on acquisitions of Senex’s Cooper Basin and Mitsui’s Bass Basin interests; and then
-
The commencement of our current gas and LNG growth agenda.
We are successfully managing this growth despite having to navigate a global pandemic and a period in which oil prices dropped to their lowest levels in more than 20 years.
As at 30 September, Beach is in a net cash position of $43 million and our Balance sheet is fully funded to support our FY24 growth target of 28 Million Barrels of oil equivalent.
So, our financial strength is set, our strategy is set and myself, my executives and the whole Beach team is locked in on delivering our growth targets.

2021 Annual General Meeting - Addresses and Presentation | 10 November 2021
Slide 15 – Executing our Corporate strategy
Speaking of our strategy, it has been clear and consistent over the past 5 years and that remains the case today.
The key pillars of that strategy are as follows:
-
We aim to optimise our core strategic assets by keeping them fuller for longer. In short, that means maintaining and increasing supply to 8 gas plants across Australia and New Zealand. In doing so we intend to uplift our production to 28 MMboe by FY24 before any exploration or development upside outside of committed projects and Enterprise.
-
We intend to maintain our financial strength. As mentioned, we are in a net cash position and given the material and stable gas revenues, despite our material reinvestments in FY22 and FY23, we don’t see net gearing moving above 10% for the next few years with the current portfolio.
-
We have continued to strengthen our gas business, by reinvesting in our
-
strategically positioned gas assets. We will have a 16% share of the east coast gas market, approximately 8% share of the NZ market and our first ever LNG sales expected in the second half of 2023.
-
As you know we assess on a regular basis inorganic growth opportunities. We used
-
that approach to totally recreate the company in 2018 through the Lattice acquisition and have made further bolt-on portfolio acquisitions where the metrics made sense. We are always hunting but have robust thresholds and we have no burning need for portfolio change at this time.
-
As you have heard from the Chairman, we have made significant progress on our
-
aspiration to meet net zero by 2050, both through our operated and non-operated endeavours.
Slide 16 – HSE performance
Safety takes precedence in everything we do at Beach, so it’s with a lot of pride to inform you that we achieved our safest year on record in FY21.
Our recordable injury rate has improved by more than 85% over the last 6 years.
That performance has continued into FY22. It’s been more than a year and a half and 4 million work hours since we’ve seen a Lost Time Injury.
Beach Energy Limited | Private & Confidential
Page 8 of 15
2021 Annual General Meeting - Addresses and Presentation | 10 November 2021
We’ve done this in the face of the higher risk profile that our busiest period has represented work-hour wise.
Slide 17 – FY21 Summary
As the Chairman stated, FY21 was a highly active year for Beach but not one without its challenges.
Beach recorded production of 25.6 million barrels of oil equivalent in FY21 – down 4 per cent on the previous year but at the higher end of our revised FY21 guidance announced to the market on 30 April 2021.
Key highlights from the financial year include:
-
Reaching a Final Investment Decision at Waitsia Stage 2
-
Making two gas discoveries in the Victorian Otway Basin at Artisan and Enterprise
-
Completing two strategic bolt-on acquisitions; and
-
Reaching favourable outcomes in our two Lattice east coast gas sales price
-
reviews as well as the carbon liability associated with the Kupe Gas Sales
– This was offset by the downgrade in Western Flanks 2P reserves which I will recap the details of shortly.
We are continuing our pursuit of value-accretive growth in our gas portfolio which will:
-
Deliver stable and long-term revenue streams
-
Provide diversification across four gas markets
-
Improve our positioning in the tightening East Coast gas market; and
-
Enable us to access global LNG markets
Slide 18 – Western Flank Oil Downgrade
Before I discuss the Western Flank decline, I wanted to provide you with a little bit of context about the historical performance of these fields.
The slide currently on the screen gives an illustration of how the Western Flank oil story has developed over the past five years.
The chart on the left-hand side shows that at the end of FY16 Western Flank oil production was in decline.
Beach Energy Limited | Private & Confidential
Page 9 of 15
2021 Annual General Meeting - Addresses and Presentation | 10 November 2021
This decline and risk exposure of being active in just one basin was what drove Beach towards a diversification strategy, which culminated in the Lattice acquisition.
However, the introduction of horizontal drilling and the subsequent development of the McKinlay reservoir, saw Western Flank oil deliver an unexpected but welcome second production peak.
The right-hand chart highlights this peak and shows the role the McKinley played in delivering record levels of production over the past couple of years.
This production came at an opportune time as the additional cashflows enabled us to:
-
Pay down our circa $1 billion Lattice debt within 18 months
-
Pay $150 million in fully franked dividends to shareholders; and
-
Re-invest about $2 billion back into the business at a return of capital of 17 percent.
In the first 3 quarters of FY21, Beach undertook a drilling campaign in the Western Flank. The initial production results from this drilling campaign were below Beach’s pre-drill expectation.
This led to Beach undertaking a comprehensive review of the production data and other data collected from the drilling campaign to understand the causes - and whether the implications were short term or would result in a reduction in reserves and or production outside of FY21 guidance.
This is not a simple piece of work and required significant input from numerous disciplines and evaluation of ongoing production data.
On completion of this review, Beach concluded that:
-
In most fields lower oil saturations, particularly on the flanks of the fields, was resulting in lower oil recoveries
-
In Bauer the unanticipated levels of interference between the wells was at least partly attributable to competition between wells and not just escalation of production, and;
-
In fields outside of Bauer the fields were flatter than thought leading to a reduction in total volume
These findings are consistent with 2P reserves being below our FY20 2P reserves estimate. Accordingly, Beach announced a reserves downgrade of:
Beach Energy Limited | Private & Confidential
Page 10 of 15
2021 Annual General Meeting - Addresses and Presentation | 10 November 2021
-
Western Flank 2P oil reserves of 13.4 million barrels; and
-
Western Flank 2P gas reserves of 5 million barrels of oil equivalent.
Monitoring of production continued following the April announcement and our financial year end 2021 reserves statement released in August noted no further material change to the 2P reserves of the Western Flank.
Following a subsurface review of the Western Flank acreage, we have now recommenced drilling activities.
This single-rig FY22 program aims to:
-
Reduce decline experienced within Western Flank oil fields by the drilling of additional wells in existing fields
-
Better constrain existing fields yet to be fully developed
-
Discover new oil fields and;
-
Discover new gas fields to extend plateau production at the Middleton gas plant
The Western Flank remains a low-cost, value accretive asset in the Beach portfolio. With low-cost tie-backs to existing infrastructure, the oil development well Internal Rate of Returns range from 15 to more than 100 per cent.
Production from new Western Flank oil discoveries is not included in the Base Case FY24 production target but will be a welcome addition if the drill bit delivers some positive results.
Slide 19 – Base Scenario to FY24
Our base scenario has a target of 28 Million barrels of oil equivalent production in FY24 representing a 13% Compound annual growth Rate relative to the midpoint on our FY22 production guidance of 21-23 Million barrels of oil equivalent.
The forecast production comes from existing 2P reserves in committed projects including those currently in the execution phase.
In this base case scenario we assume that no production from any Western Flank exploration success and a continued natural decline in production from the existing fields. The same is also assumed for Bass Gas in this time window.
Cooper Basin JV production is assumed to remain flat through continued drilling predominantly in existing discovered fields, in-line with the operator’s predictions.
Beach Energy Limited | Private & Confidential

2021 Annual General Meeting - Addresses and Presentation | 10 November 2021
The Kupe Compression project represents the first new gas to support this growth target, but the main growth is spread almost equally between the development projects already underway in the Perth and Otway Basins.
In the second half of FY22 we will see the two Geographe wells come online and deliver volumes into the Otway Gas Plant.
Then in FY23, the Thylacine and Enterprise wells will deliver gas into the Otway Gas plant while Waitsia Stage 2 starts producing in FY24.
Slide 20 – Gas & LNG growth at opportune time
The continued execution of our strategy over recent years has created a diverse portfolio of high returning assets, with reinvestment opportunities and asset lives generally beyond 15 years.
Beach today, represents six production and development hubs and by the end of 2023 we expect to have eight operational gas plants serving four gas markets – including the global LNG market.
The Heads Of Agreement reached with bp in recent weeks is something shareholders should be proud of.
From 2023 we will join the exclusive club of LNG producers with favourable contract terms. The LNG price will be linked to Brent and JKM with uncapped upside exposure to each, and also includes downside price protection.
With the inclusion of LNG, our spread of portfolio provides material opportunities and significant downside protection.
The reason Beach has deliberately positioned itself over recent years to be a material gas player across multiple markets is because we fundamentally believe in the ongoing need for natural gas in a decarbonising world.
Tightness in LNG markets and the looming shortfalls on the East Coast of Australia only reinforces that thinking.
If you have been reading the press in recent weeks you will have seen demand for LNG surging as the northern winter arrives and we expect this trend to continue into the medium term.

2021 Annual General Meeting - Addresses and Presentation | 10 November 2021
Slide 21 – Capital expenditure Guidance
To help us reach our growth target our capital expenditure guidance for FY22 is between $900 million and $1.1 billion.
Our capital investment revolves around:
-
The Offshore Otway and Waitsia Stage 2 project developments, which make up roughly 45% of our capex spend
-
The Drilling of up to 90 wells within the Cooper Basin JV to boost production levels from FY22 onwards
-
The re-commencing of exploration drilling activity in the Western Flank, with up to 15 oil exploration wells this year
-
Progressing Front end engineering design activities for the Trefoil project; and
-
Undertaking 3D seismic acquisition across offshore Bass Basin
Importantly, as we have highlighted in previous slides, even investing in further growth in each of FY22 and FY23, net gearing is expected to remain below 10% over this period.
So overall the company moves into this stage of our growth agenda in an excellent financial position.
Slide 22 – Positive Start to FY22
I’m pleased to say FY22 has gotten off to a positive start with the company notching some early runs on the board.
Key highlights for the first five months of the year include:
-
The Geographe 4 and 5 wells in the Otway Basin being drilled and intersecting reservoirs in line with pre-drill expectations.
-
Waitsia Stage 2 construction commencing and Beach signing a Heads of Agreement with bp for all its LNG volumes from that project through to 2028;
-
The Kupe Inlet Compression Project now complete with the plant delivering an uplift in gas to the New Zealand domestic market; and
-
Reaching Final Investment Decision on the Moomba Carbon Capture and Storage project with our Joint Venture Partner and operator Santos.
The second half is expected to be just as active as we look to start delivering gas from the Geographe wells into the East Coast gas market, via the Otway Gas Plant.
Beach Energy Limited | Private & Confidential

2021 Annual General Meeting - Addresses and Presentation | 10 November 2021
The Ocean Onyx will also continue its offshore activities with the drilling of the four Thylacine wells – which are the final wells to be drilled as part of the Otway offshore program.
As previously mentioned, we will recommence our Western Flank oil exploration drilling campaign in the new calendar year.
Slide 23 – Delivering on Net Zero by 2050
Shifting gears just a little I want to cover off on Beach’s approach to sustainability – in particular our focus on reducing emissions.
Beach is committed to reducing its emissions footprint from both an operated and equity perspective.
To that end, we have reduced our operated emissions 12 percent on our FY18 levels and we have committed to offsetting all reservoir CO2 from the Waitsia Stage 2 project.
Slide 24 – Moomba CCS
Beach also took a huge leap forward in its emissions reduction ambitions last week by reaching a Financial Investment Decision on the Moomba CCS project.
This project is arguably the jewel of our emissions reduction crown and represents an exciting opportunity for Beach to join the vanguard of companies pursuing this technology.
The Project, which is operated by our Joint Venture Participant Santos, will reduce CO2 emissions from the gas extraction process at the Moomba Gas plant.
This represents more than 60% of total emissions from the Cooper Basin Joint venture operations.
It has the potential to significantly reduce Beach’s equity emissions once operations commence and learnings from the Moomba CCS project may potentially be deployed across other parts of Beach’s portfolio.

Slide 25 – Key takeaways
Before I hand back to the Chairman, I wanted to quickly re-iterate the key takeaways:
==> picture [486 x 36] intentionally omitted <==
Beach Energy Limited | Private & Confidential
Page 14 of 15
2021 Annual General Meeting - Addresses and Presentation | 10 November 2021
-
Just taking account of our committed growth projects we expect to deliver an FY24 production target of 28 MMboe. This target excludes exploration success and preFID projects - with Enterprise being the only exception. We are pleased about the progress made to date and we are looking forward to delivering this part of our growth phase.
-
Our balance sheet is solid, with the company in a net cash position of $43 million as at 30 September. Given the material and stable gas revenues, despite our reinvestments in FY22 and FY23, we don’t see net gearing moving above 10% for the next few years with the current portfolio.
-
We have deliberately created a diverse gas business. By the end of 2023 we expect to have eight gas plants producing from five basins. These plants will deliver gas to 4 markets including a focus on the short East Coast gas market and the global LNG market.
-
The breadth of that gas business not only provides downside protection, but also creates a stream of stable and predictable cash flows. From FY24 we expect to be in a position of material free cash flow, which creates multiple forward capital management alternatives.
-
Last but certainly not least, we are focused on being a sustainable company that can support energy transition. We have a Net Zero aspiration by 2050, we are already delivering emissions reductions on our operated assets. In addition, the Moomba CCS project provides us with an opportunity to make a material step towards our Net Zero ambition.
With that I will now hand back to the Chairman.

Reserves disclosure
Beach prepares its reserves and resources estimates in accordance with the 2018 update to the Petroleum Resources Management System sponsored by the Society of Petroleum Engineers, World Petroleum Council, American Association of Petroleum Geologists and Society of Petroleum Evaluation Engineers (SPE-PRMS).
The reserves and resources estimates in this report are based on, and fairly represent, information and supporting documentation prepared by, or under the supervision of, qualified petroleum reserves and resources evaluators: Ian Cockerill (GM Exploration & Subsurface), Jason Storey (GM Exploration & Subsurface), Scott Delaney (Manager Exploration & Subsurface) and Mark Sales (Manager Exploration & Subsurface). All QPRRE are employees of Beach and are members of SPE. The reserves and resources information in this presentation has been issued with the prior written consent of the respective QPRRE as to the form and context in which it appears.
The reserves and resources in this presentation have been estimated at 30 June 2021 using a combination of probabilistic and deterministic methods. Each category is aggregated by arithmetic summation. Note that the aggregated 1P category may be a very conservative estimate due to the portfolio effects of arithmetic summation.
Reserves are stated net of fuel, flare and vent at reference points defined by the custody transfer point of each product. Waitsia reserves include 3.4 MMboe of fuel used for LNG processing through the NWS facilities in Karratha between the second half of 2023 and the end of 2028.
