QUARTERLY ACTIVITY REPORT

30 June 2016

Enegex Limited (ASX Code: ENX) holds a working interest in petroleum Retention Lease WA-54-R located in the Browse Basin. Details of activities undertaken during the quarter are provided below.

Enegex remains open to new opportunities that may present in the current economic climate.

WA-54-R – Greater Cornea Fields, Western Australia, 14.875% interest

The Cornea Joint Venture consists of the following interests:

Enegex Limited 14.875% Octanex Group. ( ASX Code: OXX) 18.750% Cornea Resources Pty Ltd (Operator) 13.100% Others 53.275%

The Greater Cornea Fields, being the Cornea (Central and South), Focus and Sparkle Oil Fields and the Cornea North (Tear) Gas Field, are located in the Browse Basin, offshore from Western Australia and held via a Retention Lease which covers 6 graticular blocks, amounting to an area of 497km[2] .

The oil volumes in the Greater Cornea Fields are such that, if threshold production flow rates can be demonstrated, but dependent on oil price, the economics should be attractive and provide a reasonable expectation of commercial development. (Refer Table 1).

Work Program

The WA-54-R work program is aimed at overcoming technical challenges likely to be faced in bringing the Greater Cornea Fields into commercial production.

During the quarter Year-2 work program activities were progressed, particularly economic studies. In addition to the economic modelling, other commercial work including regulatory and approvals matters for a Year-4 production test well were pursued.

Technical work included drilling studies, particularly focusing on the use of technology to address key uncertainties. Additional field development work focused on an appropriate production system, presently the preferred configuration being a Mobile Drilling and Production Unit (MODPU) and tanker, as well as identification of required metocean data.

At the time the Retention Lease was granted, production uncertainty was considered to be the greatest barrier to the development of the Greater Cornea Fields. Given the potential size of the oil resource, and the then prevailing oil price, it was understood that resolving the production uncertainty could provide a reasonable expectation for probable development.

Accordingly, the Retention Lease work program was designed to address the technical challenges of the Fields; with the first three years of the Lease designed to support the quantification of drilling challenges, culminating in a Year-4 production test, with the Year-5 work programme involving review of the Year-4 outcomes. The work programme was thus designed on the premise that Cornea’s challenge was whether it would produce, rather than whether production would be economic.

Recent technical work has included drilling studies, particularly focusing on the use of technology to address key uncertainties. Additional field development concept work focuses on an appropriate production system, presently the preferred configuration being a Mobile Drilling and Production Unit (MODPU) and tanker.

Figure 2 Preferred Field Development Concept using MODPU and FSO

An economic study was recently completed which used assumptions based on present date oil price, capex and opex assumptions. The economic modelling demonstrated the fundamental shift in the field’s commerciality in the current sustained low oil price environment, as well as demonstrating that the Greater Cornea Fields are not presently economic (even were the production uncertainties resolved), “oil price” was identified as the input to which the field is most sensitive, rather than “production” which was the case in 2013.

The material and sustained fall in the price of oil since the grant of the Retention Lease (has therefore resulted in a development of the Greater Cornea Fields not being presently commercial, even were the production uncertainty to be resolved.

Given the ~60% decline in oil price, the most significant hurdle to commerciality of the Greater Cornea Fields is no longer producibility, but is “oil price”. As such, the WA-54-R work program no longer addresses the Greater Cornea Fields’ most significant barrier to development. Accordingly, the Cornea Joint Venture intends to apply to vary the conditions of WA-54-R in order that the work programme is focussed on the “oil price” barrier to development now faced by the Greater Cornea Fields.

Potential Alliances

In addition to maintaining fiscal discipline and progressing the Retention Lease work program, Enegex remains interested in developing potential alliances for the development of Cornea.

Non Renounceable Rights Issue

During the quarter the Company raised $322,000 in new equity funding, before costs, through a pro rata non renounceable rights issue. 26,833,246 new shares were issued as a result of the rights issue.
