Financial
Average net daily sales to Pryme’s account for the September quarter were 28 Bbls/day of oil and 85 Mcf/day of natural gas (42 BOE/day). Both Four Rivers and Raven production have remained relatively stable through the first 9 months of 2014. Cash on hand plus certain drill program pre-payments at 31 September 2014 was $3.7M. Cash receipts from oil and gas sales for the quarter totalled $0.4 million. Revenue before royalty payments for the quarter totalled $0.3 million. Cash receipts may differ to reported revenue due to cash receipts from sales being disbursed net of royalties and the timing of working interest holder distributions by the operator.
Corporate
During the September Quarter Pryme successfully placed 100% of the shortfall from the Rights Issue announced on 30 June 2014 at $0.01 per share, raising approximately $1.2 million, together with 58,340,493 free attaching options on a 1 for 2 basis. The attaching options have an exercise price of 2.0 cents and an expiry date of 23 July 2016.
The placement of the shortfall shares and the attaching options takes Pryme’s quoted issued capital to 907,380,397 fully paid ordinary shares and 458,340,516 listed options. The Rights Issue, including the placement of the shortfall shares, raised approximately $5.2 million before costs and will be primarily used to fund Pryme’s initial drilling program in its Capitola Oil Project.
Projects
Capitola Oil Project (75% WI / 56.25% NRI)
The initial Capitola Oil Project 3 well drilling program has commenced.
The Mahaffey Bishop PU1 well in the Sweetwater acreage block has been drilled to 6,090 feet (1,856 metres) and production casing has been installed in preparation for completion. The well intersected 34 net feet (10 net metres) of oil and gas saturated sandstone within the A sand of the Canyon Sand formation and mud log and electric log data indicate a number of additional hydrocarbon shows in the Cline Shale and other intervals within the wellbore. Well completion is expected to begin in November.
Drilling of both the McCain 189-F1 and the Hope Boles PU1 wells is currently underway.
The McCain 189-F1 is located in the Claytonville acreage block and has a target depth (TD) of 7,300 feet (2,225 metres). It will be drilled vertically to intersect multiple stacked objectives within the Canyon Sands as well as in the Palo Pinto, Cline Shale, Strawn and Ellenburger formations.
The Hope Boles PU1 well is located in the Sweetwater acreage block, approximately 2 miles south of the Mahaffey Bishop PU1 well, and has a TD of 6,050 feet (1,844 metres). It will be drilled vertically and will intersect multiple stacked objectives including the Canyon Sand series and the Cline Shale along with several other secondary targets.

Pryme is the operator of the Capitola Oil Project. It has a 100% WI before payout (75% NRI) in each of the three initial wells. Upon Pryme recovering 100% of its costs from the net operating cash flow from all three wells its interest will reduce to a 75% WI (56.25% NRI) in each well. Pryme will have a 75% WI (56.25% NRI) in each subsequent Capitola Oil Project well and the project vendors will have 25% WI. Each subsequent well will be drilled on a “heads up” basis with the participants funding their share of drilling and completion costs.
The Capitola Oil Project comprises mineral rights covering 9,333 acres within two blocks. Upon completion of the initial three well drilling program Pryme will also have earned a 30% WI (2,800 net acres) in all mineral rights from the surface through to the top of the Cline Shale and a 20% working interest (1,867 net acres) in all other rights including the Cline Shale.
“The results from the Mahaffey Bishop PU1 are as good as we could have hoped for and a positive sign for the future development of the project,” said Justin Pettett, Pryme’s Managing Director and CEO. “The three well initial drilling program will be completed in the first week of November and then focus will move to the stimulation and completion of the wells and bringing them into production.”
E&P Company exploration activity in vicinity of Capitola Oil Project
Gunn Oil’s Cave No.1 well has been drilled and is currently undergoing stimulation and completion. The Cave No.1 is located less than one mile north of the Claytonville acreage block; it was drilled vertically through the Canyon Sands, Palo Pinto, Strawn and Ellenburger, formations.
Devon Energy (NYSE:DVN), in addition to its unconventional Cline Shale drilling program, has recently completed and is producing from the BK Harris 3H well, in the Canyon Sands formation, 8 miles south of the Capitola Oil Project. The BK Harris 3H appears to be the first horizontal well drilled in the Canyon Sands formation within the Capitola region and, if successful, could result in additional oil production potential throughout the project area.
“Devon has also permitted a second horizontal Canyon Sands well, the BK Harris 4H, offsetting the BK

Harris 3H and approximately 1 mile southwest of it,” said Ryan Messer, Pryme’s Executive Director and COO. “We will continue to monitor this significant development as we execute our vertical well program in Capitola.”
About the Capitola Oil Project
The Capitola Oil Project is located in an active region of the Eastern Shelf of the Permian Basin just north of the town of Sweetwater, Texas. The project contains a number of shallow, “stacked” formations to depths of 6,000 feet, with established production history from vertical wells. These overlie the Cline Shale formation which is the subject of an emerging resource play of national significance. Pryme’s value creation strategy is to develop the shallower, well-defined targets using advanced drilling, completion and stimulation technology, and to exploit the emerging Cline Shale resource play as the major US E&P companies which surround Pryme’s acreage demonstrate its value.

There are three primary targets in Capitola along with numerous secondary targets. The primary targets, which persist throughout our acreage, are the Breckenridge Lime at 4,500 feet deep, the Canyon Sand series at approximately 5,200 feet in depth and the Cline Shale at 6,000 feet deep. Pryme is earning a 75% working interest in 9,333 acres (7,000 net acres) in all mineral rights from the surface through to the top of the Cline Shale and a 50% working interest (4,666 net acres) in all other rights including the Cline Shale.
The Capitola Oil Project acreage is contained within two lease blocks, each contiguous and referred to as Sweetwater (approx. 7,000 acres) and Claytonville (approx. 2,333 acres) to the north of Sweetwater. Pryme is the operator of the Capitola Oil project.

Four Rivers Project (8% - 25% WI)
The September 2014 quarter oil sales of 2,358 barrels (26 Bbls/day net to Pryme) were marginally lower than the previous quarter. This is mainly attributable to natural decline in production. Pryme has an interest in 1,260 acres (240 acres net to Pryme) located in LaSalle and Catahoula Parishes Louisiana and Jefferson and Wilkinson Counties in Mississippi.
About Four Rivers
The Four Rivers Project extends from Winn, Concordia and Catahoula Parishes in Louisiana to Adams and Jefferson Counties in Mississippi. The project is targeting multiple “stacked” oil zones throughout the MiddleWilcox formation at depths ranging from approximately 4,000 to 8,000 feet. Wells drilled in the Middle-Wilcox exhibit long production lives with low decline rates after the initial flush oil is produced and relatively steady production is established. They are relatively inexpensive to drill and typically have low operating and ongoing maintenance costs.
Raven Project (35% WI / 25.38% NRI)
September 2014 quarter sales for the Raven project were 7,837 Mcf of natural gas and 170 barrels of condensate net to Pryme (86 Mcfd and 2 Bbls/day net to Pryme respectively.) Pryme has an interest in 1,280 acres (440 acres net to Pryme) located in Lincoln Parish, Louisiana.
Turner Bayou Chalk Project
Deshotels 20H and 13H Production (40% WI / 30% NRI) Rosewood Plantation 21H No.1 (61.53% WI / 46.15% NRI)
As announced on 26 May 2014, Pryme’s wholly owned subsidiary Pryme Oil and Gas LLC (Pryme LLC) has entered into an agreement to sell its interest in the Turner Bayou project. We anticipate that closing will occur in due course.
The three producing wells in this project hold approximately 3,360 acres (1,580 acres net to Pryme) by production plus approximately 16,942 acres (6,759 acres net to Pryme) in undeveloped acreage.
