Drilling Rig LOI signed for CY2021 two firm (Vali-2/Odin-1) + optional well (Vali-3) appraisal /exploration drilling program to determine size of gas production hub in ATP2021

  • Assessing the resource upside of the Vali Field and nearby area by drilling Vali-2 and Odin-1 prior to purchase of flowline infrastructure

  • ▪ Vali-2 is designed to test Toolachee gas target at the crest of structure to provide additional reserves to the recently certified Patchawarra Formation. Nappamerri formation also a target

  • Kinta-1(2003 Santos well) being re-evaluated as a follow-up opportunity as 93ft of net sand was logged with average 9% porosity in Patchawarra sands and was not fracture stimulated.

Potential to develop a gas production hub

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

Post Stimulation program gas test stabilised rate of 4.3 MMscf/day…an excellent result!

==> picture [333 x 355] intentionally omitted <==

By focusing on assessing the resource upside ahead of first gas there is the potential to optimise the value of the ATP2021and PRL211 assets, with the following benefits expected to be realised:

  • Appropriately sized flowline – by better defining field volumes through drilling, the flowline will be developed with adequate capacity for future production over the long-term.

  • Development of a production hub – further technical and operational work will better define resource upside in the area surrounding the Vali Field. This could add significant value to the Vali Field as a potential production hub for the area.

  • Gas marketing advantages – the Joint Venture will be in a stronger position to market larger volumes of gas, with the potential for improved terms and pricing.

  • Exposure to rising gas prices – gas prices are increasing, with forecasters and market commentators expecting this trend to continue.

Gas flare at Vali-1 ST1 (5 August 2020)

Drilling up-to 3 wells in next 6 months assesses the size of the prize .Anticipate JV FID approval early Q3 CY2021 of new gas production hub development - First Gas anticipated Q1 CY2022.

  • ATP2021 JV paying 100% of Odin gas exploration well for 85% licence interest.

Metgasco will own net 21.25% of PRL 211 ​licence via paying 25% net (circa $1.1million) of the Odin well.

Robust anticline with dual gas targets at the Toolachee(40% COS) and Patchawarra formations(32% COS) mapped in 3D. PRL 211 is a 98.4 km[2] retention licence expiring October 2022 with 5yr option to extend.

▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪

High chance of development as close to infrastructure(proposed Vali flowline) connected to high price Eastern States gas markets.

The closest well is Strathmount-1 drilled downdip of the Odin crestal location at both Toolachee (~15m downdip) and Patchawarra Formations (~55m downdip).

Strathmount-1 tested gas in the Patchawarra Formation and Tirrawarra. sandstone at RTSTM. Toolachee test failed due to poor mud system.

Stratigraphically trapped gas outside of mapped closure provides resource upside. Extension granted by SA government on well commitment date to Q4 CY2021.

Odin planned to be drilled at same time as Vali campaign- estimated spud Q2 CY2021.

Projected East and South-Eastern gas production vs demand

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

New gas discoveries required to ease dependence on the development of “undeveloped 2P reserves” and “anticipated developments” to meet forecast demand

  • Federal Govt has identified gas companies and the delivery of gas to market as an essential service.

  • Forecast demand underpinned by LNG, expected to be steady over the long-term.

  • Significant investment, needed to meet forecast demand, required for:

  • Development of 2P undeveloped.

  • Development of ‘anticipated developments.

  • Development of new discoveries.

  • Exploration and appraisal.

  • Domestic gas prices are independent of the volatility of global oil prices.

  • Recent ACCC papers indicate contract gas pricing in the $9-10/GJ range.

==> picture [345 x 309] intentionally omitted <==

AEMO states in its March 2020 Gas Statement of opportunities that: ”Actual operational constraints, particularly within the Victorian DTS, may lead to transportation limitations throughout the system, creating potential supply gaps during peak winter days from 2024”.

  • Historically most wells have been designed to test the Dongarra sandstone with only a few intersections of the Kingia/High Cliff section.

  • The recent Kingia/High Cliff discoveries were drilled in the gas mature Dandaragan trough and have tripled the discovered gas reserves in the Perth Basin.

  • It is very likely that the Oil Creaming curve will also have a 2[nd] wave, when Cervantes-1 and Refine Energy’s wells are drilled to test oil prone Kingia/High Cliff reservoirs in CY21.

Perth Basin: L14 planning to drill Cervantes prospect

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

  • Cervantes drilling surface location and access track chosen to minimise environmental footprint and to enable all three Permian oil targets to be accessed via one deviated exploration well.

  • Substantial environmental planning work on the access track and well location undertaken. Work undertaken included the completion of an additional botanical survey in Q3 CY2020 and negotiating Heritage and track access agreements. Project environmental approvals are now anticipated in Q2 2021.

  • Highly experienced Perth Basin consultancy Aztech Well Construction have completed the detailed well design and long lead equipment has been ordered.

  • In December 2020, the CJV signed a letter of intent (LOI) with Refine Energy Pty Ltd(“Refine”) to use Refine Rig-2 for the drilling of the Cervantes exploration prospect

  • RCMA has entered into a two-well farmout and tolling agreement with Refine Energy on 22 October 2020. Under the arrangement Refine will drill two wells (Tammar and Agile) in the L14 license area utilising their own drilling rig which is stored at RCMA’s Jingemia site.

  • The Cervantes prospect will be drilled immediately following the

  • two Refine L14 wells allowing for optimal rig and crew efficiency. A full rig contract agreement is anticipated to be signed with Refine Energy in Q1 CY 2021. Anticipated spud date late Q2 CY2021.
