Eastern Australia – State of Play

==> picture [309 x 408] intentionally omitted <==

Substantial green activism and disruption applied to gas exploration and production across Australia despite the significant contribution gas makes to the national economy
Moratoria on onshore gas exploration and development and other regulatory restrictions in several states and territories – LIMITING supply as demand INCREASES dramatically !
Queensland and South Australia have been blessed with gas common sense over the past several years
Additional gas supply is the only effective response
Galilee Basin (Queensland) has the scale and location to participate in the national gas solution

ASX Code : COI

www.cometridge.com.au 4

Eastern Australia - Future Sources of Gas

New eastern gas reserves will come from:

Poorer quality areas in existing CSG basins moving away from sweet-spots (i.e. Surat Basin)
Gladstone LNG projects likely to focus here
But can they get their costs down?
Untapped CSG in new basins further from market (i.e. Galilee Basin)
Smaller cap companies likely to focus here
Lower costs with greater efficiency

3. Shale oil and gas

 Current NT moratorium causing delay

High cost and long lead time?
Conventional gas moving into tighter sandstone reservoirs (i.e. Cooper and Galilee Basins)
LNG companies have tried very deep wells at extreme costs

==> picture [320 x 267] intentionally omitted <==

Smaller cap companies to try mid range depths (at much more reasonable cost)

Program focused in north of block
Proposing Mira under-reaming (x4) followed by horizontal well
Proposing one corehole to the northeast
Work Program and Budget meeting on 12 April

Funding for 2017 program targeted via gas pre-sales

Focus on building reserves cost effectively – JV program spend this year no more than $5m gross

Great opportunity for gas buyer(s) to lock in attractive prices in a sharply rising market

Mahalo Production Performance

Overall performance of horizontal well and Mahalo Pilot has been very pleasing
Water rate is low leading to expectation of lower development and operating costs

ATP 1191 Mahalo Block COI 40% APLNG 30% Santos 30%

Two of three vertical wells brought on line in 2016, with Mahalo 4 free flowing

Mahalo Combined – Average Gas & Water Rate

Scale up of short Mahalo 7 horizontal well to longer development wells is logical and achievable
426 mcfd from horizontal with only 361 metres in coal

Mahalo Development Concept

Significant analysis work to examine most efficient and effective way to move the northern pilot schemes into production via available export pipeline capacity and field infrastructure

Three Step Process:

1. Conversion of existing 3P to 2P reserve category, targeting 200+PJ (net COI)

Production enhancement at Mira Pilot
Single step-out corehole in north east

2. Initial production phase targeting 25 TJ/d from northern part of the block

Utilise existing facilities to minimise capex spend and construction time

==> picture [335 x 291] intentionally omitted <==

3. Expand initial production phase to full field target of 100+TJ/d

Based around well production rates from initial production phase to guide field development

Galilee Basin – Outlook

A structurally short east coast market will need to look to the Galilee Basin for gas volume
Comet Ridge’s eastern position with both large sandstone gas and large CSG resources will have increasing significance
Sandstone Gas at Albany (3C – 417 PJ 100% COI) is the logical first step due to size and position on the basin eastern edge
Sandstone Gas at Lake Galilee is the logical second step due to size and proximity to Albany (23km)
CSG in the Gunn Project Area (3C – 1870 PJ 100% COI) with expansion into ATP 1015 (100% COI) to the east is the logical third step due to the large volume and continuous nature of the coals
Each of these three areas can be supported in the field as the one project with corresponding scale economies
