QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT For the period ended 30 June 2016
1 HIGHLIGHTS
-
Production for Q2-16 was ~647 BOEPD;
-
Engineering work and regulatory approvals for 9 recompletions at the Silvertip Field finalised. Preparations for these recompletions and an additional 10 workovers completed;
-
Increase in gas and oil prices by 60% and 30%, respectively.
2 PRODUCTION
The gross production from all fields in Q2-16 was 61,019 BOE, an average of 671 BOEPD. Certain wells were shut in Q1-16 and Q2-16 due to mechanical issues which have impacted production. Shut in wells will be returned to production as part of the upcoming work program for Q3-16. These workovers will target predominantly oil wells.
Incremental’s cumulative gross production from its oil and gas fields in the last two quarters (Q1-2016 and Q2-2016) and corresponding production in last year’s quarter (Q2-2015) are as follows:
| follows: | |||
|---|---|---|---|

| 58,863 | 66,836 | 16,597 | |
| 647 | 734 | 184 |
- Gross gas production includes gas that is consumed as fuel for the field collection system and the processing plant used for production of NGL’s, which are extracted from natural gas.

| Average Sale Price(US$/Bbl) 4 | $16.73 | $7.36 | - |
| Total Net Barrels of Oil Equivalent sold5 |

| Total Net Sales Revenue(US$) | $1,051,541 | $797,090 | $862,356 |
-
Net volume sold is the oil, gas, and NGL’s that is allocated to Incremental after taking into account royalty owners’ interest, fuel use in the field and plant, and unaccounted for gas shrinkage and losses.
-
Net revenue is Incremental’s proportional share (NRI) after marketing and transportation fees/deductions.
-
Average Sale Price is net of refinery and transportation deductions.
-
Gas volume is converted to BOE on a 6 MCF of gas to 1 barrel of oil ratio. NGL’s are sold in gallons and converted to BOE on a 42 US gallons of NGL’s per barrel of oil.
The price of oil, natural gas and NGL’s increased in Q2-16 after reaching long term lows in the first quarter of 2016. Spot oil price increased by approximately 30% in Q2-16 and spot natural gas prices rose by approximately 60% in the same period.

Note - Incremental’s natural gas produced and sold from the Silvertip Field is benchmarked against Colorado Interstate Gas (CIG) prices.
1200 MMBTU per day of natural gas, or approximately 78% of current average gas sales volume, has been forward sold at a price of US$2.06/MMBTU for 12 months from 1 April 2016. This forward sales contract was entered into in Q1-16 when gas prices were at a long term low.

4 SILVERTIP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
Incremental completed engineering work and has obtained the necessary regulatory approvals to undertake recompletions on 9 of the 15 wells that permits have been applied for in the Silvertip Field. The Phase II work program consists of 10 workovers and 24 recompletions.
The recompletion program is designed to target gas production from the shallow Meeteetse and Mesaverde Formations. The cost of the recompletions, which use existing well bores, is significantly lower than the drilling of any new wells. The timing of the recompletion program will ensure that the increased gas production coincides with the seasonal increase in natural gas prices in the northern winter period.
Testing has shown that acid stimulation is sufficient to increase production of gas from the target formations. Acid stimulation is less expensive, requires less regulatory approvals and is a quicker process than hydraulic fracture stimulation. This is a further cost saving to this program.
Permitting has been approved for 9 of the 24 recompletions. The remaining wells are being permitted as part of the Phase II work program.
5 CORPORATE
In April, the Managing Director travelled to Australia and along with the CFO and the Chairman, presented and met several new and existing brokers and investors in Sydney and Melbourne and held shareholder functions in both cities.
6 CASH and DEBT POSITION (Unaudited)
At the end of Q2-16, the closing cash balance and debt position for the Group were as follows:
Cash (US$) - $514,000 (Q1-16 - $859,000) Bank Debt (US$) - $8.26M (Q1-16 - $8.50M)
Bank debt has been reduced by $240,000 in the second quarter of 2016.
