ASX/Media Release

13 March 2020

GOVT KAEHNE #9-29 WELL COMPLETION UPDATE

Over the past several weeks, we have seen negative effects on the oil industry and the broader financial markets as the world’s largest consumers of oil have dramatically slowed economic activity while they look to contain and manage the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) outbreak. As the world works to combat this virus and contain its spread, the oil market has been doubly challenged by a simultaneous price war and supply shock.

At a meeting of OPEC+ last week, Saudi Arabia and Russia failed to broker an agreement on constraining oil output in the face of global demand retraction. This has started an oil price war which has resulted in a dramatic oil price collapse into the low $30’s per barrel (WTI) with no indication of the path or timing of a recovery.

Eon will be implementing a series of cost cutting steps including curtailing operations expenditures and evaluating individual well economics to determine the best forward path. Sub-economic wells could be shut in to preserve operational cashflow. These wells will be monitored and returned to production as commodity prices increase and wells return to economic status. The company will also be implementing a series of further overhead cost reductions and salary reductions over the next few weeks.

The installation of the Govt Kaehne 9-29 tank battery has been completed. The surface pumping unit is being powered by a portable electric generator. Due to the drop in oil prices and the cost of the rental generator the well has been shut in and the generator has been released. The electric infrastructure will be installed in the next 45-60 days and the well will resume production at that time. The most recent production from the well has been 8 barrels of oil per day.

Eon is in discussions with ANB Bank on how the drop in oil prices effect our covenants on the revolving line of credit. We will continue to work with the bank on a forward strategy and implementing the cost reduction plan.
