Strategy and Vision

==> picture [111 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

The Metgasco team is focused on continuing to deliver significant shareholder returns from current and new Exploration and Production assets

Our Vision :

  • Generate significant long term shareholder returns

  • Strong and proven Capital Management focus, sustainable growth

  • A focus on ethical conduct and governance

Our Business:

  • Diversify and manage risk – no wildcatting, never bet the company

  • Aim to generate positive cash flows through participation in production, as well as make prudent financial investments – proven ability

  • Invest in and develop long term production and exploration opportunities as part of our business

Our Execution Strategy:

  • A focus on the exploration and development of our own assets

  • Share risk through partnerships and farm-outs

  • Continue to review and seek quality farm-in opportunities – becoming a “non-operator of choice”

  • An open and lateral approach to growing wealth with a sole focus on shareholder value – whether through financial, asset-level or corporate transactions.

Byron Energy Financial Investment Summary

==> picture [111 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

Strong returns and a 30% interest in the highly prospective SM74 well drilling in Q1 2019. Well designed for early production potential on success

1

Metgasco commenced its relationship by structuring an $8m development finance facility secured over Byron’s SM-71 discovery

Fully secured, with convertibility, an effective coupon of 14%, 10m options of BYE shares , farm-in and participation rights

In 2016 Metgasco announced its farm-in to Bivouac Peak (32 Mmboe total project prospective resource). On 11 October 2018 the Weiss Adler at al 1 well drilling was completed and deemed non commercial following a log evaluation. Well plugged and abandoned.

4

In August 2017, Metgasco took up its participation right in Byron’s $26m 7c capital raise, becoming a 5.77% shareholder

5

In July 2018, Metgasco announced its farm-in to Byron’s South Marsh Island 74 (“SM74”) project, for a 30% interest - drilling of this prospect, targeting a 5.2 mmbbl oil / 13 Bcf gas prospective resource, drilling is expected to start mid Q1 2019

6

In September 2018, Metgasco elected to convert AUD 1m of convertible notes into BYE shares becoming a 6.05% shareholder

7

Of our initial $8m loan, $4m has been repaid with the facility to be fully amortized by June of 2019 – relationship between the companies is strong and continues to evolve

8

Byron provides a good example of how Metgasco’s team, by thinking laterally, has provided shareholders with leverage into an attractive portfolio of opportunities while optimising the use of company capital

  • ➢ Vali is a robust anticline with dual primary targets of the Toolachee and Patchawarra Formations

  • ➢ The structure has been mapped on recently acquired 2016 3D Seismic

  • ➢ The prospect is adjacent to the principal hydrocarbon source kitchen, the Nappamerri Trough

  • ➢ The closest well Kinta-1, ~3km to the north, intersected gas charged sands in both the Patchawarra and Toolachee intervals.

  • ➢ The Toolachee Formation has independent closure with an estimated depth to target of ~2249m.

  • ➢ Vali is close to existing gas and oil infrastructure and pipelines.

➢ Odin is a robust anticline with dual gas targets at the Toolachee and Patchawarra Formations.

The structure has been mapped on recently acquired 2016 3D Seismic

  • ➢ The Toolachee Formation has independent closure with an estimated depth to target of ~2301m.

➢ The closest well is Strathmount1 drilled downdip of the Odin crestal location at both Toolachee (~15 downdip) and Patchawarra Formations (~55m downdip)

➢ Strathmount-1 tested gas in the Patchawarra Formation and Tirrawarra Sandstone.

ATP 2021 Strathmount-1 and Kinta-1 Reservoir Evaluation

==> picture [111 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

  • ➢ Strathmount -1 Well not adequately evaluated due to wellbore issues, massive washouts leading to failed tests

  • 21m of interpreted gas in Permian sands

  • Sub-standard water based drilling mud resulted in an enlarged hole

  • Enlarged hole led to unreliable logs

  • Enlarged hole led to inability to perform 60% of the open hole tests on gas shows

  • Two open-hole tests flowed gas to surface at a rate too small to measure (RTSTM) and the well was abandoned

  • ➢ Kinta -1 A low permeability gas discovery which did not flow gas to surface due to poor logging, completion and testing practices

  • 37m of interpreted gas in Permian sands

  • Very high temperatures in the Patchawarra Formation resulted in electric logging mechanical problems and compromised logging data

  • The case hole well test was poorly designed and executed which resulted in gas not flowing to surface

  • ➢ Metgasco considers that the application of modern drilling, completion and testing practices planned for our 2019 wells will considerably improve the chances of gas discovery.
