SWISH AOI Operations Update SCOOP Play, Anadarko Basin, Oklahoma

Perth, Western Australia – 16 July 2021 – Brookside Energy Limited (ASX: BRK) (FSE: 8F3) ( Brookside or the Company ) is pleased to provide shareholders and investors with an update on operations within its SWISH Area of Interest ( SWISH AOI ) in the core of the southern SCOOP Play in the world-class Anadarko Basin (Figure 1).

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Jewell Well successfully drilled and now set to be completed for production, with construction of all surface production facilities completed and construction of the gas pipeline to the DCP Midstream, LP ( DCP ) sales line progressing on schedule

  • Rangers Well planning and pre-spud activities are progressing as planned with the proposed pad location now surveyed ahead of the commencement of earthworks for pad construction

Present Operations

The Jewell Well has been successfully drilled, with production casing run and cemented and the well is now set to be completed for production. Construction of all surface production facilities has finished with construction of a ~2,700-foot, 6-inch gas line from the well to a tie-in point on a nearby DCP gas sales line proceeding on schedule.

Pre-spud activities and planning for initial well in the Rangers Drilling Spacing Unit ( DSU ), which is located approximately 5-miles west of the Jewell Well and approximately 4-miles south of the Casillas Operating, LLC. operated Flash 1-8-5MXH well, are progressing as planned with the proposed well pad location now surveyed in anticipation of the commencement of earthworks for the construction of the well pad. The Rangers Well will be the second well to be drilled from the Company’s 5-year, 20-plus well inventory of development wells in the SWISH AOI.

Activity Planned

Complete the commissioning of the Jewell Well surface production facilities and the construction of the pipeline to the DCP gas sales line. Move-in and rig up completion equipment and commence Jewell Well completion operations.

Settle final design of the Rangers Well location and prepare for the commencement of earthworks required for pad construction.

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

“We continue to maintain very strong momentum across the business, with the Black Mesa team keenly focussed on delivering the next phase in unlocking the considerable value in our acreage position with the imminent completion of the Jewell Well and establishment of oil and gas sales from this Company making well.

“The team is also working hard to push forward the development of the next exciting well in this initial phase of development – the Rangers Well – and we are looking forward to maintaining this level of activity through the balance of 2021 and beyond and to delivering the production from these wells into a very strong pricing environment.”

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 2).[ 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 3, 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.
