Projects

Kentucky Heavy Oil

During the half-year Indago successfully completed drilling and coring operations on the Weldon Young #1A well at its 100% owned heavy oil project in Kentucky.

Strong oils shows were encountered across multiple zones during drilling operations. The first oil show was observed at 255 feet in the Palistine sandstone with another oil show at 425 feet in the Tar Springs sandstone. Further oil shows were observed in the Hardinsburg sand over a 20 foot interval where samples exhibited high oil saturation. The primary target, the Big Clifty Sandstone, was reached as prognosed at 600 feet at which point coring operations were conducted from 603’ to 657’ in the oil saturated sandstone. The cores were observed to be bleeding oil with no observed gas. The hole was then drilled on to a total depth of 713’ after which the well was logged and cased.

Analysis of the core is being used to design a production test using Indago’s viscosity reducing technology, HCD Multi-Flow® . The production test of the recently drilled well is expected to commence in the July-September Quarter. The objective of the test is to establish if oil can be produced to surface with Multi-Flow.

The Weldon Young #1A well is the first of several planned to appraise Indago’s Kentucky heavy oil project. Indago will use information from this first well to design the most effective completion techniques to promote oil production using HCD MultiFlow® and any necessary enhancements, such as carrier fluids, stimulation techniques or bacteria.

The successful drilling programme follows on from Indago’s announcement on 6 March 2018 that it had received its first oil certification for its heavy oil project in Kentucky. An independent Contingent Oil Resources report prepared by Netherland Sewell & Associates Inc (“NSAI”) estimated that the Contingent Oil Resources within the 100% owned project are 3.74 million barrels of oil (“mmbbl”) on a 2C basis, 1.87 mmbbls on a 1C basis and 7.49 mmbbls on a 3C basis from an Original Oil in Place (“OOIP”) of 42.8 mmbbls.

This initial Contingent Resource report confirmed significant oil in place in Indago’s initial project area, which is believed to also extend significantly beyond Indago’s leased acreage, providing scope for a sizeable project should Indago’s technologies prove technically and commercially successful.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)

Utah Heavy Oil

In May 2018, Indago acquired 1,920 acres over a portion of Asphalt Ridge in the Uinta Basin in Utah targeting the oil sands in the Upper Cretaceous Rimrock Sandstone of the Mesaverde Group. On August 1[st] 2018, Indago acquired an additional 1,539 acres to augment the first acquisition round.

The Rimrock Sandstone of the Mesaverde Group is one of several well documented oil sands in Utah, a state that, according to the Utah Geological Survey, contains oil sands with 14 to 15 billion barrels of measured oil in place with an additional estimated resource of 23 to 28 billion barrels.

Previous operators in the region have drilled several exploration wells in sections directly adjacent on the north, west and south of Indago’s initial acreage acquisition. Those exploration wells drilled to the north are now within Indago’s acreage as a result of the second round of leasing. Indago has been able to assess some of the information from earlier wells which has assisted in understanding key elements of the play and the region’s prospectivity. The information from previous operators has demonstrated an oil saturated reservoir approximately 90-175’ (27-53 metres) thick at a depth range of between 200-3000’ (60914 metres).

Based on previous results published on the Utah Geological Survey website of more than 330 core samples from six test wells drilled in the sections that Indago acquired in their second leasing round, the target zone has reported reservoir properties including an average porosity of 30.3%, average permeability of 524 millidarcies, oil saturation of 65.6% and an oil gravity of 1014[0] API.

The Company will initially test oil sand samples from Rimrock Sandstone to both understand the efficacy of Indago’s technology in extracting oil from the sand as well as to assist in the design of a larger appraisal programme.

The leases have a primary term of 10 years for an annual cost of US$10 per acre per year. The acquisition costs were immaterial.

Newkirk Project, Kay County Oklahoma (100% WI 81.25%NRI)

No new developments during the half year. Approximately 54% of Indago’s leases are due to expire in the December Quarter. At this stage the Company only intends to renew leases if they can be renewed at very low prices.

HCD product initiatives

In Utah Indago concluded well testing for a large US producer beset with high wax and high pour point issues in black and yellow waxy oils. Pour point reductions on the order of 200F were achieved in the well producing black wax and more modest results in the well producing yellow wax. The producer is currently evaluating the commerciality of the pour point reductions achieved. In California the application of HCD Multi-Flow® with an independent operator effectively reduced need for the diluents that are essential for handling the extra heavy 5-6[0] API gravity crudes by 40%, and this represents a costs savings on the order of $6/barrel. Indago and the producer are fine-tuning the diluent + Multi-Flow to native crude ratio and should soon start dosing field wide.

In Saskatchewan, HCD Multi-Flow® was applied in the heavy oil field of a medium sized independent producer and successfully lifted crude oil gravity from 14.4[0] API to 15.5[0] API at modest dosage rates. The trial was interrupted for necessary tank maintenance, but has recommenced at a higher Multi-Flow feed rate to further uplift the crude oil gravity to the 16.7[0] API target that would trigger a higher crude oil sales price. In North Central Alberta, Indago concluded laboratory trials for a major operator that lowered heavy crude oil viscosity from 472.82 centistokes to 330.56 centistokes and simultaneously uplifted the gravity of the waxy, asphaltenic crude from 15.67[0] API to 17.7[0] API. The operator is considering a to move to a field trial. This particular application is only relevant to a brief period in the winter and potential drums sales are modest, but the technical success of the laboratory results have caught the attention of the operator who is now considering much broader applications.

In Central Alberta, Indago is engaged in a field trial with a major pipeline operator to reduce the Basic Sediment & Water (BS&W) content of the crude being transported in their 400,000 bopd capacity pipeline. Pipeline intake specification is 0.5% BS&W, but operators are currently shipping crude with BS&W levels on the order of 3-4%. The pipeline company arranged a trial comparing Multi-Flow to a competitor product – with results expected soon. In north eastern British Columbia, Indago is undertaking a field trial with a major Canadian oil and gas producer to provide a cleanup and flow improvement solution for problematic downhole wax deposition. The native crude is light at 36[0] API but the high wax content and very high pour point causes the well to choke off because of wax deposition in the production tubulars near surface. The trial continues because the producer is now optimizing pumping pressures and schedules, but to date Multi-Flow has outperformed all previous chemical treatment and physical (“wax knifing”) interventions. Because the client company is one of the largest producers in Canada, the major opportunity of this trial is the upside of other applications across that company’s operations.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)

Indago is targeting Canadian Oil Sands (SAGD) producers to reduce the amount of naphtha or light synthetic crude oil diluents required to make the viscous, heavy 10[0] API SAGD crudes pipeline compliant. Success at substantially reducing viscosity of a native SAGD sample from Fort McMurray on the bench top and in the laboratory at Corelabs Canada followed by the success at reducing diluent needs by 40% in the extra heavy 5-6[0] API gravity California crudes provided the impetus for the Canadian Oil Sands initiative, and Indago is currently in the laboratory measuring the change in native crude to diluent ratios of SAGD samples with varying dosages of HCD Multi-Flow®. Production and export to the USA for refining of the combined products Dilbit (native SAGD crude and naphtha) and Synbit (native SAGD crude and light synthetic crude) is on the order of 1.6 million barrels per day. Net cost of diluent to the Canadian Oil sands producers is estimated to be $13-15 per barrel of oil produced, so even a modest reduction in the bitumen to diluent ratio by the application of HCD Multi-Flow® is of major benefit to the producers.

Indago is reviewing its technology’s possible application in alleviating the Mature Fines Tailings (MFT’s) problem in the Oil Sands Mining Industry in Alberta, Canada. Residual bitumen in the water-slurry mine waste binds with clays in the water to form stable gel-like suspensions that won’t settle, making problematic the dewatering of the tailings ponds. The accumulated volume of toxic sludge residing in the tailings ponds is estimated at 1.3 trillion litres, and the incremental addition from current mining operations is on the order of 100 billion litres annually. Indago has entered into an agreement with an independent operator currently contracted by a major Oil Sands miner to resolve dewatering problems and reclaim bitumen from their ponds, and may shortly commence trials to establish optimal Multi-Flow concentrations that maximise bitumen yields.

Other

During the half year Indago’s distributors and agents in South America, China, the Middle East, Europe and India continued their concerted efforts to promote Indago’s products and technology to oil producers, pipeline operators and oil storage owners and cleaners.

JUNE 2018 HALF YEAR REPORT 10

INDAGO ENERGY LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES ABN 75 117 387 354

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE HALF YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018

NOTE 1: PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

The principal activities of the Group during the half-year under review were evaluating, exploring and developing oil and gas prospects and technologies in North America and internationally and the sale of new clean oil technology products. Refer to the Directors’ Report for further information on the half-year activities.

There have been no significant changes in the nature of the Group’s principal activities during the half-year.

NOTE 2: BASIS OF PREPARATION

The interim consolidated financial report (“the financial report”) are for the six months ended 30 June 2018 and are presented in Australian Dollars ($AUD) which is the functional currency of the parent company. The financial report has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting.

The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.

The financial report do not include all of the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report and shall be read in conjunction with the most recent annual financial report of the Group together with any public announcements made by the Group during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 .

NOTE 3: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this financial report are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period except for the impact of the Standards and Interpretations described below. Where required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial half-year.

The Group has adopted all the mandatory new and amended Accounting Standards issued that are relevant to its operations and effective for the reporting period. There was no material impact on the financial report as a result of the adoption of these standards.

The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the Group for the purpose of preparation of the financial report.

NOTE 4: ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

The preparation of the financial report requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement when applying the Group’s accounting policies. These estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the Group and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

The critical estimates and judgements applied in the preparation of the financial report are as follows:

(a) Recoverability of exploration and evaluation expenditure

Exploration expenditure for each area of interest is carried forward as an asset based on the provisions in AASB 6: Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources . Exploration expenditure which fails to meet at least one of the conditions outlined in AASB 6 is written off. Expenditure is not carried forward in respect of an area of interest unless the Group’s rights of tenure are current. The ultimate recoupment of exploration and evaluation expenditure is dependent on the successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, the sale of the respective area.

The Group assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure at each reporting date (or during the year should the need arise). In completing this assessment, regard is given to the Group's intentions with respect to proposed future exploration and development plans for individual areas, to the success or otherwise of activities undertaken in individual areas, to the likely success of future planned exploration activities, and to any potential plans for divestment of individual areas. Any required impairment of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is completed based on the results of the assessment. Furthermore, for various areas of interest, exploration and evaluation activities may not have reached a stage to allow a reasonable assessment to be made regarding the existence of economically recoverable reserves. Accordingly, exploration and evaluation assets may be subject to further impairment in the future.

During the half-year, management made an assessment that 12 of the 21 Newkirk leases would not be extended unless the renewal cost was at a very low price, and therefore chose to impair 54% of the total capitalised Newkirk expenditure. This impairment expense totalled $288,113. Management does not believe there are any impairment indicators for the Kentucky and Utah leases.

To the Members of Indago Energy Limited,

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Indago Energy Limited, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2018, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the Directors' declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the Company and the entities it controlled at the period's end or from time to time during the halfyear.

Directors' Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report

The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: 8 and its performance for the half- year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001. As the auditor of Indago Energy Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Independence

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 .

Conclusion

  • (a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity's financial position as at 30 June 2018 and of their performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • (b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001
