Value Creation Strategy
==> picture [248 x 25] intentionally omitted <==
The value creation strategy for Indago’s use of HCD Multi-Flow[®] is twofold:
1. Build a portfolio of Upstream Projects
Invest in known oil accumulations where the application of HCD technology may lead to commercial extraction, reserves growth and cash flow. Two projects acquired to date:
-
Kentucky
-
Utah
2. Sell HCD Multi-Flow® and Tank Clean Products to Industry
-
Targeting oil producers, pipeline operators, tank cleaners and refiners:
-
Developed marketing team in North America with representatives in Texas, California and Alberta.
-
Established agents & distributors in China, India, the Middle East, Colombia & parts of Europe.
In the last 12 months this sales force has been responsible for meetings with 120 potential customers, arranging 13 field trials for 7 producers and has collected and tested in independent laboratories ~40 crude oil samples from different projects.

Testing Implications on Dosage Rates
==> picture [248 x 25] intentionally omitted <==
-
Tests and trials indicate dosage rates of HCD Multi-Flow® for use in paraffin rich crudes are typically between 250 - 750 ppm.
-
Tests and trials indicate dosage rates of HCD Multi-Flow® for use in heavy, extra heavy and viscous crudes are in the 1,000 – 2,000 ppm range.
-
Dosage rates will always vary considerably depending on individual applications and oil composition.
| Multi-Flow Dosage Rates (ppm) |
250 | 500 | 750 | 1000 | 1500 | 2000 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Conclusions of Field & Laboratory Testing of Multi-Flow during 2018-2019
==> picture [248 x 25] intentionally omitted <==
HCD Multi-Flow® has proven highly effective in Field and Laboratory testing undertaken during 2018-2019 in the following applications:
1. Pour Point Reduction
-
Earlier case studies on the Puteri Platform, Abu Alpha and Syria demonstrated that HCD MultiFlow® could reduce Pour Point of paraffin-rich crudes in the range of 9 to 53[0] C.
-
Current field and laboratory testing in Utah and Turkmenistan is consistent with earlier results demonstrating Pour Point reductions in the range of 14 to 33[0] C.
2. Viscosity Reduction
-
Applications in viscosity reduction are a new direction for Indago from the earlier focus on pour point reduction in waxy crudes.
-
Laboratory testing of heavy and extra heavy crudes and sludge consistently demonstrate viscosity reductions in the range of 40-99% depending on API[0] Gravity.
3. Diluent Reduction
-
The application in diluent reduction is a direct consequence of the viscosity reducing characteristics of HCD Multi-Flow®. By reducing extra heavy crude oil viscosity by as much as 99%, HCD Multi-Flow® is doing the work of the diluent, but instead of a one-to-one ratio it works in thousands of parts per million.
-
Indago successfully trialled HCD Multi-Flow® as a diluent reducer in California and China during 2018.

Western Kentucky Oil Sands are estimated to have 3.4 billion barrels of original oil-in-place (OOIP).
Indago has leased 1,786 acres over which independent certifiers, Netherland Sewell & Associates, have estimated an OOIP of 42.3 million barrels (mmbbl). Of this OOIP, NSAI estimates that 7.5 mmbbl is 3C, 3.7 mmbbl is 2C and 1.9 mmbbl is 1C.
More than 10 wells previously drilled in INK’s acreage demonstrates oilsaturated reservoir 12-20 metres thick at a depth of 125-215 metres with 10[0] API oil.

The first well was cored & confirmed good porosity, permeability and oil saturation.
Well test then designed to ascertain if HCD MultiFlow® could sufficiently reduce viscosity down hole
to allow oil to be produced to surface.
Well was injected with HCD-Multi-Flow® and carrier fluid then swabbed and 82 bbls of oil were successfully produced to surface.
Well then placed on pump for further testing which ceased when water handling issues combined with low oil production were encountered.
After successful proof of concept, plans to design tests to prolong production are underway and possibly to test light oil shows above target encountered during drilling operations. 18

==> picture [342 x 402] intentionally omitted <==
Utah Oil Sands are well documented and estimated by the Utah Geological Survey (UGS) to contain 14-15 billion barrels of oil.
Indago has leased 3,459 acres over the NW part of Asphalt Ridge in the Uinta Basin over which independent certifiers, Netherland Sewell & Associates, have estimated an OOIP of 141.7 million barrels (mmbbl), and Contingent Resources of 24.8 mmbbl of 3C, 12.4 mmbbl of 2C and 6.2 mmbbl of 1C.
Previous operators have drilled around INK’s acreage indicating an oil saturated reservoir 27-53 metres thick at depths from 60-914m. Published results (UGS) from 6 wells drilled within INK’s acreage, report oil saturation of 65.6% of 10-14[0] API oil in sandstones with porosity of 30.3% & permeability of 524 mD.

-
INK completed a required cultural survey in April of 2019 and has applied for a permit to take bulk samples from the Rimrock Sandstone.
-
Samples will be tested with HCD Multi-Flow® in a series of different processes to determine optimal treatment method to recover maximum oil with minimum HCD Multi-Flow®.
-
Consideration being given to also test the deeper sections of the permit with a conventional well similar to the production test conducted in Kentucky.
-
INK will consider a partner for the next stage of testing both in Utah and Kentucky.

⮚ ⮚ Bohai Sea ⮚
HCD proposed a trial in the Bohai Sea with a major Chinese Operator.
The trial will address bitumen plugging in gravel pack completions and wax deposition in perforations & production tubulars.
Drums of Multi-Flow have been purchased & delivered to Tianjin and the trial is expected to be undertaken in second half of 2019.

Current Priorities – USA
==> picture [248 x 25] intentionally omitted <==
California
==> picture [333 x 180] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [270 x 200] intentionally omitted <==
• Multi-Flow testing in extra heavy (5-6[0] API) crudes was successful and led to modest drum sales to a small independent operator. • The substantial viscosity reductions achieved by Multi-Flow has led to two down-hole trials with California’s largest heavy oil producer who currently uses a significant quantity of viscosity reducing agents to enable artificial lift and pipeline transport. Several drums of Multi-Flow are onsite and the trial is waiting only for bottle testing to ensure compatibility of the Multi-Flow with the crude.
Utah
• In Utah, separate trials with 2 of the largest producers in the Uinta Basin were about reducing pour point of the very waxy crudes. Multi-Flow reduced the pour point of one of the major producer’s crude by 14[0] C and also increased the flash point to 126[0] F. INK is currently considering re-engaging with the company after the company was acquired
Texas
• In Texas the trial was about reducing Basic Sediment and Water (BS&W) to raise oil quality and crude oil sale price. While the BS&W was substantially reduced from 4% to 2%, the trial fell short of the 1% target for commercial application.
Kentucky
• Indago successfully drilled & stimulated a test well with MultiFlow. Crude oil viscosity was reduced from 50,000 cP to 490 cP allowing crude to be swabbed to surface. Next steps are to design drilling, completion and recovery techniques to establish commercial flow rates.

• A major International operator provided old storage samples of “dead” Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) crude oil. Testing aimed at reducing the amount of diluent required to meet Canadian pipeline specifications by adding Multi-Flow. Results were a proof of concept with the addition of Multi-Flow reducing the diluent requirements by ~8%. The Company is now collecting samples of freshly produced SAGD crude to retest “live” samples.

Llanos Basin
• characterized by light oil fields in the north and heavy oil fields in the south and central parts including the Rubiales field with OOIP of 4.38 billion barrels of 11.3-14.5[0 ] API crude.
• The south central Llanos Basin has many more fields and billions of barrels of reserves where crude oil gravity must be uplifted or diluted to meet pipeline specifications of 600 cSt & 15-16[0] API.
Upper & Middle Magdalena Valley
• characterized by crude oils from 15-20[0] API, but of unusually high viscosity and locally high in wax content.
• Some crudes are trucked to the Caribbean coast because they don’t meet pipeline specifications.
Pipeline Transport
• The National Oil Company of Colombia transport 400,000 barrels of oil per day through the pipeline network and is estimated at approximately one billion dollars on imported diluent to enable the heavy crudes to meet pipeline specifications of 600 cSt & 15[0] API.

Viscosity Reduction in Laboratory Testing, Colombia
==> picture [342 x 228] intentionally omitted <==
-
⮚ Indago has tested crude oils from 4 fields, 3 in the Llanos and 1 in the Middle Magdalena Valley with 3 different operators.
-
⮚ In laboratory testing at an independent laboratory Multi-Flow successfully reduced the viscosity of the crude from all 4 fields to below the pipeline specification of 600 cSt.
-
⮚ Indago is negotiating with 3 companies to test Multi-Flow in field trials with the objective to make the heavy crude pipeline compliant without the need for diluent.

⮚
Indago proposed a two phase trial of HCD Multi-Flow on a 6,000 bopd recirculation line at the Bhogat terminal after successful lab results.
⮚
Phase I aims at reducing the Pour Point & WAT of the crude by 15[0] C with dosage rates of Multi-Flow between 500 and 2,000 ppm.
⮚
Phase II aims at reducing the Pour Point & WAT of the crude by an additional 10[0] C (total reduction of 25[0] C) with dosage rates of Multi-Flow up to a maximum of 5,000 ppm.
⮚
Indago will seek to secure a contract for Multi-Flow to be applied to the 175,000 bopd pipeline should Phase I and/or Phase II meet the success criteria and commercial requirements.

Risk Factors
==> picture [248 x 25] intentionally omitted <==
An investment in Indago carries with it the following risks:
1. General
Due to the inherently uncertain nature of the oil and gas industry, the Indago business carries with it various risks. Shareholders should realise that the value of Indago may fluctuate and that a dividend is not expected to be declared by Indago in the medium term. Whilst Indago will attempt to minimise the following risk factors, many of them are beyond its control. This list of risk factors should not be taken as being exhaustive of the risks faced by Indago. These factors and others not specifically referred to may materially affect the performance of Indago and the value of its shares.
2. Funding Risk
In order to fund the future growth of the Indago business it will be necessary for the Board to consider Indago's potential capital raising needs notwithstanding the funds raised under the current capital raising.
3. Early Stage Risk
The HCD Multiflow business is still at the early stage of its development. This brings with it a variety of potential risks. There is no assurance that Indago will be able to overcome them moving forward.
4. Absence of Revenue Risk
Indago has no current revenue and there is no certainty that product sales will be generated.
5. Demand and Supply Risk
Activities within the oil and gas industry by its nature are risky. The operations of customers can be affected by a huge number of factors, risks, issues and costs. These have a potential flow on effect as far as Indago is concerned, potentially putting strain on its customer and channel relationships. Competitive pressures can impact on Indago's ability to successfully engage with the more established channel partners.

Risk Factors (continued)
==> picture [248 x 25] intentionally omitted <==
6. Competitor Risk
Indago operates in a competitive environment. Its competitors will compete with Indago in relation to products and in relation to sales price. Indago's competitors may seek to reverse engineer Indago's products.
7. Operational Risk
Indago is subject to the usual form of operational risks that apply to an international manufacturing/blending business. These include the potential for industrial disputes relating to labour or product logistics, raw material supply risks and costs, capital costs which may be incurred in the event of increased demand, the hiring of appropriately skilled and secure labour, and geopolitical and government risk.
8. Intellectual Property Risk
As set out above, whilst Indago will own the intellectual property relating to the Multiflow products, it will not be granted access to the formulas and related know-how until completion of the maximum royalty agreement payment in the absence of certain specified exceptions. There is a potential risk which arises simply because these formulas and related know-how are not held directly by Indago.
9. Currency Risk
Indago's revenues are expected to be largely denominated in US dollars, whereas its operating costs are expected to be largely denominated in a combination of US dollars and Australian dollars. As an ASX listed entity, Indago reports in Australian dollars. These aspects mean that Indago is potentially exposed to currency and exchange rate risk.
