NEWS RELEASE

Jewell Well Completion Operations Tier-one Service Company Appointed

Perth, Western Australia – 21 July 2021 – Brookside Energy Limited (ASX: BRK) (FSE: 8F3) ( Brookside or the Company ) is pleased to provide shareholders and investors with an update on the completion of the high-impact Jewell 13-12-1S-3W SXH1 well ( Jewell Well ) in Brookside’s SWISH Area of Interest ( AOI ) in the world-class Anadarko Basin (Figure 3).

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Liberty Oilfield Services ( Liberty ), a tier-one North American oilfield services company, has been appointed to conduct the completion operations on the Jewell Well

  • Liberty is a first mover in driving an ESG conscious approach to well completions

  • Equipment and personnel are expected to be mobilised to the Jewell Well location by the end of July with completion operations to commence shortly thereafter

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

“We are delighted that we have been able to secure the services of Liberty to complete the Jewell well, they are a leading oilfield services company that shares the values that Brookside and Black Mesa hold around safe and efficient operations and employee alignment to deliver the very best results possible.

“Liberty’s experience in the mid-con region, focus on ESG principles and commitment to excellence will help to ensure that we get the very best out of the Jewell well as we complete this last important step in bringing this much anticipated well online and turning it to sales.”

Brookside is pleased to announce that Black Mesa Energy, LLC ( Black Mesa ) has executed a Master Services Agreement with Denver based Liberty Oilfield Services ( Liberty ), a leading North American oilfield services company. The contract is to supply and operate the equipment and personnel for the completion of the Jewell Well, under the supervision of the Black Mesa team.

Completion equipment and personnel are expected to be mobilised to site by the end of July to kick-off completion operations, with production and sales to follow soon after. The Liberty crew is currently completing a job on a nearby well for a large successful, Tulsa based private E&P company prior to moving to the Jewell location.

Liberty is a leading North American oilfield services company, a first mover in driving an ESG conscious approach to well completions with the largest low-emission fleet in the market. Every Liberty new build fleet since 2013 has been low emission. Additionally, in 2016 Liberty debuted the Quiet Fleet, with sound reduction features that make the Quiet Fleet three times quieter than a traditional completions fleet.

In December 2020, Liberty acquired the completions business of Houston-based oilfield giant Schlumberger Ltd ( Schlumberger ) in an all-stock merger valued at US$448 million with Schlumberger becoming 37% owner of Liberty. The deal made Liberty the second-largest North American oil fields services business.

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, Flames, Rangers) that the Company controls in the SWISH AOI to develop a conservatively estimated 11,606,000 net BOE Prospective Resource[1] (best estimate, unrisked).

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 4).[ 2]

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 5, 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.
