WA-481-P Technical Update
Pilot Energy Ltd (the Company , ASX: PGY) is pleased to provide the attached technical update further to the Company’s announcement of 30 January 2017, in which the major prospective oil and gas resources for exploration permit WA-481-P were announced.

About Pilot Energy : Pilot Energy Ltd is an emerging junior oil and gas exploration company that is implementing a low-cost, counter-cyclical strategy to develop a portfolio of high quality oil and gas exploration assets. The Company’s aggressive new ventures program has rapidly resulted in acquisition of material working interests in the WA-481-P, WA-507-P, WA-503-P and EP416/480 exploration permits, located offshore and onshore Western Australia, in addition to a minor working interest in the EP437 permit. Key to Pilot Energy’s strategy is minimisation of project entry cost and work commitments, while allowing sufficient time to add value through desktop studies prior to seeking farmin partners to fund seismic and/or drilling. Pilot Energy works closely with industry partners such as seismic contractors in order to develop creative pricing models for services that help to reduce the Company’s upfront cash investment.

Accordingly, these statements are subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies associated with exploration and/or mining which may be beyond the control of PGY which could cause actual results or trends to differ materially, including but not limited to price fluctuations, exploration results, ore reserve and resource estimation, environmental risks, physical risks, legislative and regulatory changes, political risks, project delay or advancement, ability to meet additional funding requirements, factors relating to title to properties, native title and aboriginal heritage issues, dependence on key personnel, share price volatility, approvals and cost estimates. Consequently, there can be no assurance that such statements and projections will be realised. Neither PGY, or any of its affiliates, advisers, consultants, agents or any of their respective officers or employees ( Relevant Parties ) make any representations as to the accuracy or completeness of any such statement of projections or that any forecasts will be achieved.
Additionally, PGY makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, in relation to, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, no responsibility or liability (whether for negligence, under statute or otherwise) is or will be accepted by PGY as to or in relation to the accuracy or completeness of the information, statements, opinions or matters (express or implied) arising out of, contained in or derived from this Presentation or any omission from this Presentation or of any other written or oral information or opinions provided now or in the future to any Recipient or its advisers.

Nothing in this material should be construed as either an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy or sell securities.
Prospective Resources are those quantities of petroleum estimated as of a given date to be potentially recoverable from undiscovered accumulations by the application of future projects. Contingent Resources are the estimated quantities of petroleum that may be potentially recoverable from known accumulations, but the applied project(s) are not yet considered mature enough for commercial development due to one or more contingencies.
Refer to the Company’s announcement of 30 January 2017 for details of prospective and contingent resources.

-
§ Highly prospective permit with numerous oil & gas prospects
-
§ Total prospective resources of up to 435 MMBOE

-
§ Frankland gas discovery with nearby potential could lead to a gas production hub , via Dongara facilities
-
§ Even a small oil discovery could be commercialised , via Cliff Head facilities
-
§ Leander Reef trend remains untested and offers significant upside

Structural Setting
==> picture [103 x 34] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [720 x 12] intentionally omitted <==
-
§ Abrolhos sub-basin runs north-south through the permit
-
§ Structural highs flank the sub-basin to east and west
-
§ Major oil & gas source kitchen
-
§ Basin is thermally mature and generative
-
§ Migration of hydrocarbons from Abrolhos sub-basin, eastwards up to structural high
-
§ Faulting along structural high has created numerous structural closures for entrapment of hydrocarbons
