BW Energy: Appraisal confirms material Hibiscus field reserve increase

Reference is made to the stock exchange notice by BW Energy on 20 May 2024

announcing a substantial oil discovery on the northern flank of the Hibiscus

field.

BW Energy has now concluded the drilling and the logging of the DHIBM-7P pilot

well, confirming a substantial oil discovery with good reservoir quality and a

material uplift to the Hibiscus area.

The Company's preliminary evaluation indicates an increase in Hibiscus gross

recoverable reserves (mid-case) of approximately 8 million barrels of oil to 12

million barrels of oil. The Company plans to complete the well as a development

well later in 2024.

The DHIBM-7P pilot was drilled from the MaBoMo production platform to a total

depth of 3,941 metres. The target area is located approximately 1.5 kilometres

north-northwest of the MaBoMo and was drilled by the Borr Norve jack-up rig.

Notably, the hydrocarbon column extends across the boundary between the Gamba

and the underlying Dentale formation. This is the first example of a common

Gamba-Dentale hydrocarbon accumulation in Hibiscus Field.

The current operation in Dussafu is to complete the development well (DHBSM-2H)

in the northern flank of the Hibiscus South field that was recently successfully

appraised.
