NEWS RELEASE

10 Februar 2021 y

High-Impact Jewell Well Fully Funded

Perth, Western Australia – 10 February 2021 – Brookside Energy Limited (ASX: BRK) ( Brookside or the Company ) is pleased to provide shareholders and investors with an update on funding for the Jewell 13-12-1S-3W SH1 well[1] ( Jewell Well ) located in the highly-sought after Sycamore-Woodford Trend in the Company’s SWISH Area of Interest ( AOI ) in the world-class Anadarko Basin.[2]

Highlights

  • A$8.25 million raised (before costs of the offer) by CPS Capital Group in an oversubscribed placement to sophisticated or professional investors that saw very strong support from a mix of new and existing shareholders, including several new high net worth investors looking for exposure to the oil and gas sector

  • The Company is now fully funded to drill and complete the much-anticipated Jewell Well in the SWISH AOI. The Jewell Well is the first well in a potential 5-year, 20-plus well development drilling program across the three operated Drilling Spacing Units ( DSU ’s) the Company controls in the SWISH AOI

  • Drilling of the Jewell Well will be transformational for Brookside and the catalyst to unlock the value of a conservatively estimated 11,606,000 net barrels of oil equivalent ( BOE ) Prospective Resource that the Company has booked across its three SWISH AOI DSU’s (Jewell, Flames and Rangers) (best estimate, unrisked)

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

“We are delighted with the response we have received from our existing shareholders (and from new investors) to this placement and would like to thank CPS Capital Group for assisting us with this very successful raising.

“This raising will enable us to move forward with our transformational operated drilling program, kicking-off immediately with the highly anticipated Jewell Well in our SWISH AOI in the SCOOP Play.

“Our acreage in this area is proven by neighboring production with results from tier-one operators active in the area (NYSE: CLR, NYSE: DVN, NYSE: MRO and NYSE: OVV) materially exceeding our expectations, including initial flow rates above 2,000 barrels of oil equivalent seen in offsetting wells.

“We are looking forward to keeping shareholders and investors updated with the strong pipeline of news flow that will be generated from this operated drilling activity and this will be complimented by additional milestones achieved from the Orion Project Joint Venture project.

“This is a very exciting time for the Company and the team at Black Mesa Energy and we are looking forward to breaking ground on the Jewell Well location very shortly.”

1 The Jewell Well is located in Carter County, Oklahoma within the Brookside controlled Jewell DSU. Black Mesa Energy (a controlled subsidiary of Brookside) will be the operator of the well. Working Interests in the Jewell DSU will be subject to the issue of final pooling orders from the Oklahoma Corporation Commission.

2 Refer 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.

Background

Brookside is pleased to announce that it has successfully raised A$8.25 million in an oversubscribed placement to a mix of new and existing shareholders. There was tremendous interest shown in this placement along with recognition that the successful development of the Jewell Well will be the catalyst to unlock the significant value in the Company’s high quality acreage position and the conservative 11,606,000 net BOE Prospective Resource base.

The Company is now fully funded to drill and complete the Jewell Well, which will be drilled in the Jewell DSU in the SWISH AOI (see Figure 1). Importantly, this well is the first well in a potential 5- year, 20-plus well development drilling program across the three operated DSU’s that the Company controls in the SWISH AOI.

The Company will move aggressively to commence operations on the Jewell Well, which 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. The Casillas Operating, LLC. operated Flash 1-8-5MXH well (located ~3-miles west of the Jewell DSU) has produced ~500,000 BOE in approximately 15-months, considerably higher than Brookside’s conservative estimate for the Jewell Well (see Figure 2).[ 3]

Future wells in the Jewell DSU will also target the Woodford formation, which just like the Sycamore formation continues to deliver outstanding sustained productivity in nearby offsetting wells. The Continental Resources Inc. operated Courbet 1-27-22XHW well (located ~1-mile southwest of the Jewell DSU) has produced ~340,000 BOE in approximately 12-months.[4] 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.

With the capital raising now complete Brookside is strongly positioned to capitalize on its superior acreage position with 20-plus wells to be drilled in the next 5 years and the development of a conservatively estimated 11,606,000 net BOE Prospective Resource attributable to the Jewell, Flames and Rangers DSUs. The Company will aggressively execute its 5-year strategy beginning with the drilling and completion of 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
CorporationCommission.
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
ofthat unit.
