2009 year in review : coal seam gas program

  • Initial 1P Reserve Certification milestone

  • To date lead CSG pilot well Corella-11 has produced 70 mmcf of gas

  • Associated relatively low water rates of 70bpd indicates minimal water handling costs

  • The initial 1P Reserve Certification highlights the underlying value in Metgasco’s CSG acreage.

  • Demonstrates that Metgasco is well advanced in understanding reservoir architecture and engineering solutions

  • Transitioning from exploration and appraisal stage towards field development

2009 year in review : coal seam gas program

  • 2&3P gas reserves have increased

  • Independently certified 2P gas reserves currently at 298PJ & 3P gas reserves at 1,538 PJ

  • Opportunity for further reserve growth

  • 2P reserves in 5 of a total of 11 blocks in PEL 16

  • Represents 5-10% of total acreage

  • � No current reserves in PEL 13 or PEL 426

Reserves have been certified by Mr Tim Hower of MHA Petroleum Consultants (Denver) who is a qualified person as defined under the ASX Listing Rule 5.11. Reserves have been developed within the guidelines of the SPE. Mr Hower has consented to the use of the reserve figures in this presentation.

==> picture [261 x 417] intentionally omitted <==

2010 objectives : basin exploration program

  • Seek to identify productive CSG fairways

  • Exploration experience now sufficient to plan and commence regional drilling for interpreted “hotspots”

Emerging Fairway

  • Core drilling to generate 3P & 2P reserves

  • Air drill verticals provide a cheap method of understanding productivity

==> picture [52 x 84] intentionally omitted <==

Potential Fairway

  • Continue focus on well engineering and design

  • I/J/K pilot production program

  • Seismic to assist in fairway identification and mapping

==> picture [220 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

2010 objectives : basin exploration program

  • Make further conventional gas discoveries

  • Consolidated Prospects and Leads

  • Risking and Prioritisation studies underway

  • further seismic

  • additional drilling

2010 objectives : field development planning

CSG resources Conventional resources Richmond seam optimal well design & cost reservoir engineering, additional seismic well locations, number of wells, field reserves Kingfisher reserves, production well design gathering systems (water,gas,compression) well locations, infield gathering systems economic case, full field production capability economic case, full field production capability

total production volumes component mix, flex capability total upstream capex,opex economic case and pricing requirement

==> picture [220 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

2010 objectives : infrastructure & gas markets

  • As a cost competitive supplier, the opportunities are numerous…

  • Currently planned and possible capacity:

  • Project Capacity (PJ/a)

  • � RVPS 2 2

  • � LWP 27 - 220

  • � NRPS 8 - 24 Total 37 - 246

2010 objectives : corporate & stakeholder activities

  • Metgasco has now commenced a process to identify potential partners for CSG interests in PEL 16

  • appropriate time to encourage further investment from a compatible joint venture party in field development – Metgasco has proven gas reserves and large 2P reserves

  • JV partners are being sought for up to 50% interest , incoming parties will be given opportunity to participate in downstream projects

  • Announced an SPP to raise a maximum of $25m to provide shareholders an opportunity to support the company though next phase of growth in transition from exploration and appraisal to production

  • As the transition from exploration and appraisal to production occurs, further interaction with stakeholders will be required

  • indigenous groups whose presence we respect

  • community groups which provide a local voice on various issues

  • town councils who manage local regulations

  • Federal, state and regional departments who regulate legislative requirements
