Diona - Prospectivity

  • Diona prospect targets 3 stacked reservoir objectives at

Showgrounds, Upper Tinowon and Wallabella Sandstone levels all of which can be tested via a single vertical exploration well

  • The Tinowon and Wallabella Sandstone targets have additional

  • stratigraphically trapped upside associated with the inferred

  • pinch-out of these two reservoirs against the eastern flank of the Wunger Ridge

  • Diona is well located for hydrocarbon charge due to its position on

  • a prominent east-southeast nose that plunges down into the prognosed Permian source kitchen.

  • Gas-condensate is considered the most likely hydrocarbon phase,

but oil is a possibility

  • At least 3 additional prospects identified and being matured

Prospective Resources Cautionary Statement

  1. These 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 (Pg) and a risk of development (Pd). Further exploration, appraisal and evaluation is required to determine the existence of a significant quantity of potentially movable hydrocarbons.

  2. These Prospective Resources have been calculated probabilistically using a Monte Carlo simulation methodology for the three individual reservoir targets and have then been combined probabilistically (incorporating the impact of risk and risk dependencies) to determine the Prospective Resources for the entire prospect.

  3. 1U, 2U and 3U refer to the low estimate, best estimate, and high estimate respectively and are respectively equal to the P90, P50 and P10 scenarios that are output from the probabilistic volumetric assessment.

  4. Gas-equivalent Prospective Resources have been calculated in Billion standard cubic feet equivalent (Bscfe) using a conversion factor of 1 barrel condensate = 6000 cubic feet of gas.

  5. These Prospective Resource only consider the most likely case hydrocarbon phase scenario (gas with condensate) and do not consider the possibility of oil.

  6. The risk of development, Pd, has been assessed in relation to the probabilistic resource ranges for the entire prospect rather than for each individual reservoir target.
