Woodford Shale Delivers in SCOOP

Strong Initial Rates Further Validate SCOOP Acreage Strategy

Perth, Western Australia – October 4, 2018 - Brookside Energy Limited ( ASX: BRK ) ( Brookside or the Company ) is pleased to provide an update on its activities in the World-Class Anadarko Basin plays in Oklahoma, US.

Highlights

  • Initial production rates successfully established in the Bullard 1-18/7H well.

  • Largest Working Interest well drilled to date at 20.57%.[i, ii]

  • Well achieved 1,828 BOE/day (IP24) (67% oil) and 1,479 BOE/day (IP30) producing from the Woodford Shale in the SCOOP Play.

  • The well has produced ~73,000 BOE (69% oil) in its first ~60-days of production.

  • Initial production results provide further confirmation of the productivity and reserve potential of the Woodford Shale in the SCOOP Play.

  • Results from this “parent well” will enable Brookside to book significant proved undeveloped reserves in this development unit.

  • Important data point for the Woodford Shale further validates the SWISH acreage acquisition strategy were the Company is targeting both the Sycamore and Woodford Formations.

Commenting on the announcement, Brookside Managing Director, David Prentice said;

“We are again delighted to present the early production results from a new well to our shareholders and investors.

“These are very strong initial production results and we are thrilled that the Woodford Shale in this well is delivering great early indications of its productivity and reserve potential.

“The Bullard well is located in close proximity to our SWISH AOI and it provides us with an early look at what we can expect there when development gets underway.

“The Woodford, together with the Sycamore are central to the value creation model for SWISH and it is wonderful to have achieved this milestone so early in the evolution of the SWISH story.”

Background

The Company’s non-operated Working Interest wells in the world-class Anadarko Basin plays continue to deliver excellent production rates providing further support for the quality of the acreage that Brookside has been able to secure within the Anadarko Basin plays in Oklahoma.

The most recent well to commence production is located within the Company’s SCOOP Play focus area (see Fig. 1.).

Figure 1.

The Rimrock Resource Operating, LLC. operated Bullard #1-18/7H well (Brookside 20.57% Working Interest) achieved 1,828 BOE/day (IP24) (67% oil) and an IP30 of 1,479 BOE/day.

The well has produced approximately 73,000 BOE (69% oil) in its first ~60-days of production (~50,000 barrels of oil and 136,000 Mcf gas). See Figure 2. below.

These results were achieved from a 7,500 foot lateral producing from the Woodford Shale formation at a depth of approximately 8,050 feet.

Significantly this well is located adjacent to (within approximately 5-miles) the Company’s SWISH AOI, which is the focus of the current leasing campaign. These initial production results provide the Company with further confirmation of the productivity of the Woodford Shale in this part of the SCOOP Play and validate our SWISH acreage acquisition strategy were the Company is targeting both the Sycamore and Woodford Formations .

The results achieved in this “parent well” will also enable the Company to book significant proved undeveloped reserves in this development unit, which is located in a part of the SCOOP Play where several of the “tier-one” large independents are already pushing forward with full field development pilots (up to ten wells per unit in some cases).

The drilling and completion costs associated with this well have been funded outside of the Drilling Joint Venture and 100% of these costs may be recouped in the event that LS Operating, LLC exercises its rights under the previously announced Step-in Agreement[ii] . Under this agreement, LS operating has the option to acquire up to 100% of Brookside’s 20.57% Working Interest in this well, while Brookside retains ownership of the acreage in the development unit and 100% of the proved undeveloped reserves the well creates.

GLOSSARY

**BOE ** Barrels ofOil Equivalent
Development Unit Development Unit or spacing unit is the geographical area in which an initial oil and/or gas well is
drilled and produced from the geological formation listed in a spacing order. The spacing unit
communitizes all interest owners for the purpose of sharing in production from oil and/or gas wells
in the unit. A spacing order establishes the size of the unit; names the formations included in the
unit; divides the ownership of the unit for the formations into the “royalty interest” and the “working
interest”; Only one well can be drilled and completed in each common source of supply. Additional
wells may be drilled in a Development Unit, but only after an Increased Density Order is issued by
the Oklahoma CorporationCommission.
