A fresh look at the Perth Basin
Perth Basin Shale and Tight Sands• AWE’s footprint in Perth Basin approximately
600,000 net acres under lease
• Taking a fresh look at data accumulated over last 20-30 years – past drilling has intersected many tight gas and oil reservoirs
• Economics in favour of commercialisation:− Infrastructure in place
− Stronger gas prices
− Access to latest technology from USA
• Hydraulic fracture stimulation of 3 proof of concept wells completed between July and September 2012
• 8 separate zones in tight sands and shales successfully stimulated
• Hydrocarbon (gas and oil/condensate) flowed from each zone
• 13-20 Trillion cubic feet of gas potential (in place) assessed within Middle Carynginia
• Additional target zones identified

• Successfully perforated a 5m interval and stimulated the Wagina and Dongara reservoir (2,643m to 2,685m)
• Latest flow test in September 2012 achieved a stabilised gas rate of 1.35 MMscf/d and produced 4.65 MMscf gas and approximately 65 bbls of oil/condensate over 40 hours
• Well shut-in and pressure test underway – due to remove pressure gauges in November 2012
• Data from flow test, combined with recently acquired 3D seismic, will be used to build reservoir model and plan next step

• Microseismic data acquired using the adjacent Woodada-14 well as an observation point assisted assessment of fracture propagation, type and density
• During the initial well clean-up and flow back gas was recovered and flared
• Clean-up was initially assisted by the coil tubing and nitrogen lift
• Field operations temporarily suspended
• Options currently being evaluated for the isolation of the Middle Carynginia zone for further testing, subject to results of lab tests and data analysis

Ande Ande Lumut – capex & farm down
Capital expenditure• Project POD requires capex of
approximately $600 million plus leased FPSO
• Minor expenditure in FY2012-13 comprising staffing, WHP FEED (now bidding), FPSO Design Competition, engineering, subsurface
• Material capex not required until after Final Investment Decision (FID)
• Bulk of capex is development drilling (up to two thirds) which will become self funding after first oil
Farm down• Farm down up to 50% prior to FID;
targeting end 1H13
• Good interest from potential investors
• FID 3Q13 and First Oil before end 2015
AWE capital requirements can be funded from balance sheet & future operating cash flows 23
