ASX Announcement/Media Release
29 November 2016
Recompleted Wells in Silvertip Field Produce 86,000 MCF since August 2016
-
Six (6) recompletions in shallow gas formations performed since August 2016
-
Total gas production from recompleted wells since August 2016 was 86,000 MCF
-
Four (4) additional recompletions scheduled to begin 29 November 2016
Incremental Oil & Gas Ltd. (ASX: IOG) is finishing its Phase II Work Program in the Silvertip Field. IOG launched its Phase II Work Program in April 2016 by performing multiple workovers, followed by the recompletion of wells in August 2016. Six (6) recompletions have been completed since August, which targeted behind pipe gas reserves in the stacked shallow-gas formations between 2500-4000 feet (~750-1200 meters) below surface. IOG will commence recompletions on four (4) additional wells on 29 November 2016.
On 18 October 2016, IOG successfully recompleted the 53-28F in the Meeteetse formation. IOG recorded a 5-day IP of 310 MCFd from the Meeteetse formation - previously the well was producing 24 MCFd from the Frontier formation. Similar to the 42-4F well which was recompleted on 1 September 2016, the shut-in casing pressure of 850 psig represents virgin like conditions in the Silvertip Field. Over the long term, IOG expects significant production from this well due to its low decline rate. The 53-28F has a 30-day IP of 292 MCFd.
In total, since August 2016, the recompletions resulted in added gross production of more than 86,000 MCF of gas with a net revenue of approximately $161,000.
The average 5-day initial production (IP) rate for these wells was 344 MCFd (Incremental’s forecast was 150 MCFd per recompleted well). The initial 30-day production for the six (6) recompleted wells was 47,000 MCF.
Utilizing existing wellbores, IOG’s average recompletion cost has averaged only $26,000 per well. The higher than expected IP’s and 30% less than expected recompletion costs deliver a quicker payback than anticipated - the cost of these six recompletions have now been paid out.
The final four recompletions for 2016 commence on 29 November 2016. Wells targeted in this final round of recompletions were selected based on their geological characteristics in comparison to the previously recompleted wells.
The Silvertip Field has stacked pay reservoirs, and IOG will continue to review all formations to determine new recompletion targets in 2017.

GLOSSARY
| Behind pipe | A productive reservoir which is isolated from the well bore by the casing. Behind-pipe |
|---|---|
| reserves are expected to be recovered from zones in existing wells, which require | |
| additional recompletion work prior to the start of production. | |
| Formation | A formal term used to reference a genetically related rock unit. |
| IP | Initial production - the rate of initial flow of oil or gas from a new well or a newly |
| recompleted well. | |
| MCF | One thousand cubic feet (natural gas volumetric measurement). |
| MCFd | Mcf per day. |
| Recompletion | After the initial completion of a well, the action and techniques of re-entering the well and |
| redoing or repairing the original completion to restore the well’s productivity. The | |
| completion (or perforation) of an existing wellbore is generally carried out into a different | |
| formation from that in which the well was originally completed. |
