QUARTERLY ACTIVITY REPORT

30 September 2017

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.

Interest in WA-54-R Greater Cornea Fields

The company holds a 14.875% interest in the Cornea Joint Venture. The Cornea Joint Venture ownership is the following:

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, 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 (WA-54-R).

The Greater Cornea Fields present a large in place oil resource contained in a challenging reservoir. At the time the Retention Lease was applied for and granted, production uncertainty was identified as the primary constraint to the development of the Greater Cornea Fields. A successful production test well designed to demonstrate threshold productivity for development initiation is required to commercialise Cornea. A production test well must be placed and constructed in the same manner as intended for field development in order to prove up viable well construction methodologies and technologies, ensure representative threshold oil production is achieved and control of gas and water ingress.

Given the favourable prevailing oil price when the Retention Lease was applied for and granted, numerous field development concepts were then considered likely to be economic (subject to achieving threshold production volumes).

The current sustained low oil price environment presents a further significant challenge to the field’s commerciality, having rendered as non-viable the field development concepts previously considered likely to be economic.

Reflecting the changed oil price environment, new development concept screening was undertaken earlier this year with the objective of identifying a field development concept with the potential to be commercial at current oil prices (US$50/Bbl). Following this screening, a field development concept predicated on the use of a Mobile Offshore Production Unit (MOPU) with a subsea tank and single point mooring has been selected for further investigation. This concept is significantly different to earlier concepts with significant cost reduction implications.

Integrated reservoir modelling and facilities work has been commenced to support design of a production test well capable of delivering threshold productivity using this development concept. The Cornea Joint Venture has applied to vary the conditions of WA-54-R to facilitate this work.

Energy Storage Innovation

Enegex is open to other natural resource opportunities that may present. With oil prices continuing to languish, we have considered other avenues where our future may lie. In particular, with advances being made in energy generation and storage, Enegex is seeking to become involved in innovations that are transforming the storage of energy. Our involvement in energy storage and services may take a variety of forms including direct participation, joint venture and equity investment.

Our initial initiatives are to investigate and to undertake corporate investment in the following areas:

  • Strategic energy storage minerals

  • Energy storage technologies

  • Alternative and renewable energy sources
