NEWS RELEASE 26 Au ust 2021 g

Rangers Well Operations Pad Construction to Commence

Perth, Western Australia – 26 August 2021 – Brookside Energy Limited (ASX: BRK) (FSE: 8F3) ( Brookside or the Company ) is pleased to provide shareholders and investors with an update on its operations in preparation for the drilling of the Rangers 36-25-SXH1 ( Rangers Well ), in the SWISH AOI in the core of the southern SCOOP Play in the world-class Anadarko Basin (Figure 1).

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Agreement has been reached with surface owners for the construction of an all-weather pad in the Rangers Drilling Spacing Unit ( DSU ) in Stephens County to facilitate the drilling and completion of the Rangers Well, with construction works expected to commence next week

  • The Rangers Well is the second operated well to be drilled by Brookside in the highly soughtafter Sycamore-Woodford trend within the SWISH AOI and comes immediately after the successful drilling and completion of the Jewell Well (Figures 1 and 2)

  • Following the closing of the recently completed and highly successful capital raising, Brookside is positioned to fund the majority Working Interest in the Rangers Well, ensuring faster development of the SWISH AOI resource and more rapid growth in terms of both oil and gas reserves and cashflow

  • Previously announced opportunistic acreage acquisitions have also provided the opportunity to materially expand the Rangers DSU and documents have now been filed with the Oklahoma Corporation Commission to create a 960-acre unit, significantly improving the already excellent economics of the Rangers Well and increasing the associated PUD volumes and acreage values associated with this DSU

  • Recently acquired 3D seismic data has been purchased and is currently being interpreted inhouse to aid with well design and lateral placement for the Rangers Well, which is located approximately 5-miles west of the Jewell Well and very close to the highly successful Flash and Courbet Wells (Figures 1 and 2)

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

“We are very pleased that we have been able to maintain our operational momentum in the SWISH AOI, securing the key agreements to commence construction of the pad for the soon to be drilled Rangers Well.

“This is obviously a very busy period for us and the Black Mesa team as we move straight from the drilling and completion operations at the Jewell Well and kick-off operations in our next operated DSU – Rangers.

“We are very much looking forward to keeping our shareholders updated as we get underway with Rangers and lock-in key services for this next phase of development of our very valuable SWISH AOI resource.”

Background

Brookside is developing its “core of the core” acreage position in the SWISH AOI located in the highly sought-after Sycamore-Woodford trend in the southern SCOOP Play in the world-class Anadarko Basin. Brookside has embarked on a potential 5-year, 20-plus well development drilling program across its three operated development areas / DSUs (Jewell, Rangers, Flames) that the Company controls in the SWISH AOI to develop a conservatively estimated 11,606,000 net BOE Prospective Resource[1] (best estimate, unrisked).

Prospective Resources Cautionary Statement

The estimated quantities of petroleum that may potentially be recovered by the application of future development projects relate to undiscovered accumulations. These estimates have both an associated risk of discovery and a risk of development. Further appraisal and evaluation is required to determine the existence of a significant quantity of potentially moveable hydrocarbons.

Initial wells drilled in the SWISH AOI will be targeting one of two primary producing formations in the SWISH AOI, the Sycamore formation. The Sycamore formation continues to deliver outstanding sustained productivity in nearby offsetting wells. To date, the Casillas Operating, LLC. operated Flash 1-8-5MXH well (located ~3-miles west of the Jewell DSU) has produced ~580,000 BOE in approximately 19-months, considerably higher than Brookside’s conservative estimate for the Jewell Well (see Figure 3).[ 2]

1Refer to the Company’s ASX release of 17 November 2020 for further information in respect of the prospective resource. There has been no material change to the prospective resource since that release. 2 Note - Brookside does not hold an interest in the Flash 1-8-5MXH well and these production results are presented for reference only.

Future wells will also target the Woodford formation, which just like the Sycamore formation continues to deliver outstanding sustained productivity in nearby offsetting wells. To date, the Continental Resources Inc. operated Courbet 1-27-22XHW well (located ~1-mile southwest of the Jewell DSU) has produced ~430,000 BOE in approximately 14-months.[3] As can be seen in Figure 4, the production rate of the Courbet well is considerably higher than BRK’s conservative estimate for the Jewell Well.

Development Unit
or DSU
Development Unit or drilling 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
Corporation Commission.
Force Pooled The Oklahoma Corporation Commission is authorized to establish well spacing and drilling units
covering any common source of supply of hydrocarbons, or any prospective common source
of supply. Once the unit is established, the Commission can force pool the interests of all the
owners who own interests in that unit and who have not voluntarily joined in the development
of that unit.
