3 Why 3D Oil is a great investment 3D Oil will develop West Seahorse in the short term The reserves and contingent resources of West Seahorse have been recently increased The satellite feature, Hippo, and the neighbouring Sea Lion Prospect have the potential to add significant value to the development 3D Oil implemented an Accelerated Growth Strategy to attract a joint venture partner and optimise the exploitation of the company s assets The Felix structure is arguably the best oil prospect currently in Australia The company has a suite of high quality prospects and leads in a petroliferous province to provide exciting growth potential

9 Reserves and Resources West Seahorse 32% increase 1P 32% increase 4.1 Reserves and Contingent Resources (MMstb) 14% increase % increase % increase 8.7 Extensive subsurface study of West Seahorse has been undertaken incorporating newly acquired well data from the West Seahorse-3 well (including oil and reservoir samples), 3D seismic mapping, HDVA depth conversion, detailed petrophysics, detailed production simulation and production calibration to the neighbouring Seahorse field 1P Proved Reserves 2P Proved + Probable 3P Proved + Probable + Possible Previous - August 2008 Upgrade - March P Proved 2P Probable 2P + Contingent (P50) 3P Possible N1 and N Contingent Resources Low Estimate (P90) MMstb Best Estimate (P50) MMstb High Estimate (P10) MMstb P1 and NE Fault Block Total Reserves plus Contingent Resource

10 Seahorse and West Seahorse Comparison Fields very similar Areal size similar Both have oil in N1 and N2.6 reservoirs OWCs almost identical Seahorse has been on production for almost 18 years Vic/P57 Same oils West Seahorse Seahorse N1 N2.6 P1

11 Near-Field Potential: Hippo Structural high west of West Seahorse West Seahorse-1 Same oil zones predicted Hippo A total of 1.5 MB recoverable (P50 Prospective Resource) Potential tie-back to the main field. N1 Hippo B West Seahorse N2.6 P1

12 Optimising West Seahorse Development Development options for West Seahorse were historically impacted by the global financial crisis and low oil prices. During this time 3D Oil continued engineering studies on low CAPEX options including: Mobile Offshore Production Unit (MOPU) with oil exported to shore, Floating Production Storage and Offloading facility (FPSO), Sub-sea tie-back to third party facilities, Well head platform to an onshore stabilisation and processing plant, 3D Oil is continuing with 2 development options in parallel. These are: 1. MOPU with oil exported to shore 2. Sub--sea development tie-back with third party access to offshore production facilities

13 Offshore Production Unit (MOPU) Overview (Option1) A Mobile Offshore Production Unit (MOPU) is a converted jack-up drill rig with oil production capabilities on the main deck Santos Maleo MOPU - Indonesia Advantages of a MOPU development are: Fast development time. Recent MOPUs have been installed within 12 months from contract award They can be leased. This reduces the upfront capital costs required for the project They can be relocated, making them suitable for fields with a short production life Can be used to support the well conductor, eliminating the need for a Well Head Platform (WHP) and also providing access to the well

14 Sub-Sea Development Overview (Option 2) West Seahorse-3 to be recompleted as a subsea well and produced to the Barracouta (BTA) platform. Sub-Sea Sea Field Layout Key components of the option are: West Seahorse-3 recompleted as a sub-sea well. Offshore pipelines (production and gas lift) from West Seahorse-3 (WSH) location to BTA (approx 10 km) 8 Production pipeline 2 ½ gas lift pipeline Sub-sea tie-ins at BTA to connect the West Seahorse production and gas lift pipelines to the existing TWN production and gas lift pipelines. A control umbilical would be run from WSH to BTA. At BTA this would be brought onto the platform to a new Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU) to operate the WSH well.
