Strategic Update
==> picture [111 x 48] intentionally omitted <==
Xstate is undergoing a strategic shift to “reset” the Company.
-
For new business, the shift is required due to a lack of suitable production opportunities commensurate with Xstate’s size, risk profile and funding capacity
-
For the existing exploration business – there is a need to balance the relatively expensive, high risk / high reward California prospects with a portfolio of high chance of success, low cost prospects.
-
Hence a move to Texas where there is a deeper and more active market for oil and gas properties.
-
If the new strategy is successful it is envisaged that Xstate will grow via revenues from production, ongoing exploration (notionally 3 to 4 wells per year), small scale production purchase – along with production from the existing California assets.
-
To implement the strategy, the Company has access to highly experienced technical team of staff and selected consultants with deep knowledge of our areas of activity and operations.

South East Texas Farm In – Transaction Rationale
• Why shift from California?
- despite numerous production opportunities reviewed, Xstate has been unable to get traction (high transactional risk)
• Why move to Texas?
-
the best USA State to explore for and to produce oil and gas. Geological diversity with low political risk
-
multiple play types and a range of opportunities to suit every risk profile and budget
• Why partner with Baja & Mosman?
-
the principals are well-known to Xstate. They are technically capable and focused, routinely use 3D seismic and are commercially astute.
-
Houston based with a wealth of local knowledge and the potential for a long-term relationship.
• Why Champion project?
-
240 acres - intensely structured with compelling seismic amplitude support, nearby production analogues and multiple targets
-
modestly priced with clear pathway to production. Baja and Mosman have an attractive project but lacked the necessary financial resources
-
Where from here?:
-
plan is to add projects with cost, risk and reward, and commercial characteristics to complement Champion

South East Texas – Champion Project Farm In
- Xstate has acquired a 25%[1] working interest (net revenue interest 18.75%) in an oil and gas exploration opportunity onshore Newton County, Texas.
| Investment Rationale |
• Low risk exploration; high value inventory of conventional reservoirs prospects and leads • Adjacent to existing production and infrastructure for rapid commercialization • Diversification outside of California which has been problematic market to transact in to date • Near term activity in 3Q 2019 that can be funded internally by Xstate • Strong local partner and additional consolidation opportunities and follow up projects |

1 Subject to completion of farm in obligations
2 Prospective resources: the estimated quantities of petroleum that may potentially be recovered by the application of a future development project(s) relate to undiscovered accumulations. These estimates have both an associated risk of discovery and a risk of development. Further exploration appraisal and evaluation is required to determine the existence of a significant quantity of potentially moveable hydrocarbons.

Targeting World Class Natural Gas Fields
-
Targeting low risk and/or multi - Tcf projects and prospects onshore Sacramento Basin, California.
-
Technical edge: use of 3D seismic, extensive database, local knowledge, long experience in the basin to identify prospects.

Primary Focus
Area
----- End of picture text -----
-
Technical edge: focus on lightly explored or undrilled deeper formations, typically beneath producing gas fields. A proven strategy.
-
Build a prospect portfolio with materiality, diversity and follow-up potential.
-
Take up ground floor land positions over prospects and prospective trends.
-
Several prospects identified; currently in various stages of leasing.
-
Existing gas fields acquired either to secure an acreage position or to access undeveloped gas reserves.

Producing Assets
-
Strategy: access and produce remaining natural gas resources from existing currently producing and / or idle well bores, through well work overs, recompletion or new zone completions, and pipeline connections.
-
The Operator regularly evaluates wells for work-over, drilling and tie-in opportunities.
-
Work-overs are low cost and will be scheduled as soon as production operations allow.
-
A drilling and workover program is in the process of being developed.

-
Originally drilled for oil in 1982 - found extensive natural gas shows and flowed gas to surface.
-
Turbidite fan sandstones and conglomerates described in mud logs.
-
Operator is encouraged by 2D seismic amplitude conformance to 6,000 acres (25 sq km) of structural closure.
-
Gas reservoir porosity and permeability quality confirmed from core.
-
Pipeline quality natural gas analyzed from pre-test flow.
-
Located 9 miles to pipeline valve station.

Anzus 1 Prospect Well
Anzus Prospect
-
Anzus is a large 4-way dip closed structure in a similar structural position to the Dempsey gas discovery and substantially ready for drilling
-
Based on seismic attribute comparisons with Dempsey, Anzus is expected to have better reservoir porosity and permeability
-
Amplitude conformance to structural closure is especially encouraging
-
Anzus will evaluate stratigraphically similar zones to the 5,000 feet of gas saturated rocks in the under-explored strata at Dempsey.
-
Stacked conformance of seismic anomalies is significantly greater than at Dempsey
-
Adjacent to Natural Gas Pipeline Infrastructure.

Litigation Update: Singapore Supreme Court
==> picture [111 x 48] intentionally omitted <==
-
As previously advised Xstate is seeking to enforce the Western Australian Supreme Court judgment “(Australian Judgment”) against the three Singapore based defendants.
