Strike Oil Chairman’s Address November 2007 AGM

Welcome to the 2007 AGM.

Today, some three and half years since listing, Strike Oil is at an important stage in its development. We believe the company is well positioned in both the United States and Australia to realise strong value growth for its shareholders.

In particular -

  • the past financial year has seen the Company strongly increase production and generated revenues of more than $8.6 million from its Mesquite operations in the US;

  • a significant discovery in the Rayburn Project in Texas has created the opportunity to generate significant cash flows to take the company to a new level;

  • although difficulties have been encountered in progressing its Australian assets, the company is pursuing innovative strategies to develop its extensive portfolio of permits in the Carnarvon Basin and realise value from a number of key projects in the near future;

  • the demerger of Hybrid Energy S A Pty Ltd from Strike Oil Limited will provide shareholders with an opportunity to be involved in an exciting energy development in South Australia.

I trust from my observations in this address and the presentations of Simon Ashton, the Managing Director of Strike Oil, and Barry Ford, Managing Director of Hybrid Energy, that we will give you enough information to support our view.

I propose to review our principal activities in turn with a view to giving you the board’s perspective on the potential to create shareholder value.

Gulf Coast Texas

Let me start with our production and exploration activities in the Gulf Coast Texas where we are in joint venture with Cypress E&P Corporation as Operator. Our exploration here has been principally gas focused in what, by Australian standards, are deep and tight reservoirs in on shore Texas. We have meaningful working interests in the various leases ranging from approx 22% to 26%. As at 31 October 2007, we have generated a total of A$14.1 million since production commenced from sales of oil and gas primarily at the Mesquite field.

The JV’s principal exploration focus has been on larger gas accumulations at greater depth, primarily in the highly prospective Wilcox formation. The JV has drilled a total of four deeper wells at a cost to Strike Oil of A$9.5 million. Of these deeper wells, three have encountered hydrocarbons and two are

judged to be commercial. An overall success rate of 50% has therefore been achieved.

Gas prices in the United States are expected to remain strong and the extensive gas infrastructure enables any discovery to be put into production quickly – generally within weeks compared to much longer lead times in Australia. We continue to have confidence in Cypress as the operator for the JV. The downside is that each deep well is expensive – A$5 to10 million on a 100% dry-hole basis with a further A$2 to 3 million to test and complete. The anticipated returns on success therefore need to be substantial to create a satisfactory risk/reward equation. We believe they are. For example we expect the Rayburn field, where we are testing the Duncan 1 well and drilling the Duncan 2 development well, to be commercial. At the flow rates suggested from log results we anticipate individual wells could have a payback period of four to six months. With the potential for a larger structure to exist this geological and financial performance could be repeated many times over. Strike Oil is targeting sales revenues in excess of $2 million per month by mid-2008 from our US Gulf Coast operations.

Our immediate priority is to get our US activities to be self funding. Our present expectation is that this is within reach with the recent A$10 million equity injection via the Entitlement Issue, increased sales revenues and the planned establishment of a debt facility to assist the funding of development wells.

In summary therefore we have confidence that our Gulf Coast exploration and development program is soundly based and is poised to create significant value for shareholders. Simon Ashton will further describe the extent of the value in his presentation.

Rocky Mountains

I turn now to our exploration activities in the Rocky Mountains in the United States where we are in a Joint Venture with Comet Ridge as Operator. Here we are in several joint ventures and have working interests ranging from 33% to 39%. To date we have drilled two wells on the Tow Creek/Bear River project area in Colorado in search of oil in a fractured shale reservoir. The results of drilling to date have been disappointing and expensive but tantalising. Oil was encountered on both wells. The Bear River well proved to be in tight reservoir and oil would not flow in commercial quantities. At the Tow Creek location oil shows were encountered and the reservoir characteristics appeared more conducive to commercial flows. However, operational issues primarily related to drilling rig equipment, has meant that we have been unable to test the well. Having expended approximately A$6.0 million (Strike Oil share) on the Tow Creek/Bear River project area we are looking at opportunities to progress the project through farming down to bring in a partner to drill further wells. Our project interest will be reduced but so importantly will be our risk and our future expenditure.

At the Florence project area, also in Colorado, the Operator has completed an 8 sq mile 3D seismic survey and is proposing to drill three wells in early 2008 - these drill locations are yet to be approved. These wells are shallower than the Tow Creek wells (generally 4000 ft vs 6600 ft) and will be less expensive. Each well is expected to cost approximately A$0.5 million to drill. Even so the Joint Venture is examining ways to mitigate our operation risks. Each well will target oil accumulations of approximately 200,000 barrels. With current oil prices this represents revenue in excess of A$20 million per well on a 100% basis. Importantly these wells will benefit from being located using 3D seismic which we expect will enhance the potential for success – this was not available on the Tow Creek/Bear River Project. Multiple well locations can be expected if the Joint Venture is successful with initial drilling. Success here will lead to early cash flow from the project.

Carnarvon Basin

In the Carnarvon Basin, the company has experienced difficulties in exploiting its extensive acreage. In late 2005, 790 km of new 2D seismic was undertaken with subsequent interpretation highlighting a number of exciting prospects and leads. The high oil price environment has, however, created a very tight market for drilling rigs and services with well costs escalating more than threefold over the last three years.

In response the Company has developed various initiatives associated with cost effective techniques for the drilling of shallow water wells which have the potential to increase activity in its Carnarvon Basin acreage and to provide the company with substantial commercial advantages in the long term. The company expects to make a decision on these initiatives in the next 3 to 6 months after reviewing the business plan and financing considerations.

The Company has also recently submitted to the Department of Defence a proposal to supply gas from the Rivoli Gas Field for a period of 20 years. The proposal, if accepted, will result in gas from the Rivoli Gas Field being delivered by pipeline to the naval base at Exmouth in replacement of its current diesel fuel supply.

Strike Oil expects to generate an appropriate return from the project and to position itself to supply other markets in the area. The project will be a building block that enables the Company to pursue a broader exploration and production program in the area. Importantly a successful development at Rivoli will also build in-house capability.

Cooper Basin

In the Cooper Basin the Company participated in the Kewarra 1 well with Beach Petroleum as the Operator. The well discovered non-commercial oil in the target interval. Further drilling is planned for early next year (possibly in February) in this very prospective south west Queensland permit.

Hybrid Energy SA Pty Ltd

During this past year considerable progress has been made by the company in developing its FuturGas Project based around a large lignite (brown coal) deposit in the southeast of South Australia. A scoping study has been completed which has demonstrated that a state of the art low emissions coal fired electricity generator could be viable using these coals.

A JORC compliant resource of 578million tonnes of coal has been established. It is proposed to undertake a feasibility study over the next two years to confirm the application of the latest combustion, gasification and carbon capture and storage (including geo-sequestration) technologies to produce low greenhouse emissions power and potentially other products in a sustainable manner.

Initially, it is proposed to deliver 150 to 300 MW of base load electrical power to the South Australian market by 2015. The plant, even without carbon capture, will produce atmospheric emissions considerably lower than South Australia’s existing coal fired generation and likely lower than some existing gas fired generation in that state.

The FuturGas project has the potential to be a major South Australian project providing further security and diversity to the state’s energy supply and creating development opportunities in the southeast of South Australia.

On 17 October we announced that we had established a wholly owned subsidiary, Hybrid Energy, to manage the project and that we had appointed a very experienced energy executive Mr Barry Ford as Managing Director.

Barry will provide shareholders with a short presentation following the presentation by Simon Ashton.

Our plan is to complete the separation of the two companies in the first half of next year via an in-specie distribution of Hybrid Energy shares to Strike Oil shareholders and to secure a separate listing (including capital raising ) for Hybrid Energy on the ASX.

We see Hybrid as an exciting opportunity to create value for shareholders. The project has real substance and comparable peer companies are valued in excess of A$40 million. Unfortunately no such value appears to be factored into the share price of Strike Oil.

Our plan is to offer the opportunity to Strike Oil shareholders to participate in a meaningful way in the development of Hybrid Energy’s FuturGas Project. Further details can be expected in the coming months.

The principal focus of the Strike Oil board and management is to create value for shareholders. We all know that upstream energy activities carry risk. The

board and management’s task is to mitigate these risks and ensure that returns on success are appropriate. I trust this address and the following presentations will give you a good sense of how we are endeavouring to go about that task.

Any company can only be as good as its people. Our management and staff have great enthusiasm for Strike Oil and I thank them for their loyalty and efforts. This comes at a time when opportunities are plentiful and salaries are high. One of the ways that Strike Oil is able to differentiate itself from many other companies is to expose staff to equity returns in a meaningful way. This is a key part of our ability to attract and retain staff.

I therefore commend to shareholders the later motions at this meeting to approve the Employee Option plan and the recommended grant of options to staff.

I also thank my fellow board members for their energy and support throughout the past year.

I also take this opportunity to thank you the shareholders for your loyalty and support in all its forms over the past year.

I would like nothing more than to see your support tangibly rewarded in the coming year.
