Bedout
Sub-basin
Opportunity
An opportunity to
participate in the
development of the
Phoenix South oil
discovery and
exploration of an
extensive new oil
Opportunity Highlights
An opportunity to participate in Finder’s Bedout Sub-basin permits which include the recent Phoenix South
discovery
(1) Apache News Release, August 18, 2014
Opportunity Highlights
Significant oil
discovery with
potentially large
reserves
The Phoenix South-1 well intersected at least four oil columns ranging in thickness from 26 to 46 metres
There is estimated to be as much as 300 MMbbls in place(1) in the
Triassic reservoir
Phoenix South is the most significant oil discovery on the North West Shelf in the last 25 years
Oil and reservoir
quality indicate a
commercial
discovery
Potential oil productive reservoir with permeability calculated up to hundreds of millidarcies
Six oil samples recovered with API gravity estimates of 46 to 48 degrees
Extensive new oil
province with large
exploration potential
Four permits totalling 5.36 million acres (21,720 km2) which have
access to oil mature source rocks
63 prospects and leads over seven play levels greater than 10 km2
identified on existing data, several larger than Phoenix South
Exposure to
near-term drilling and
development
The joint venture is planning to drill the Roc prospect in 2015 (Finder is carried) which is a 3D supported target larger than Phoenix South
The joint venture is considering appraisal of the Phoenix South discovery in early 2015
Development concepts are currently being assessed targeting early first oil
Reputable operator
and a motivated joint
venture
Apache is an operator of choice in Australia and has a strong reputation for developing projects on time and on budget
The joint venture is aligned with the exploration and development strategy
Stable fiscal regime
The assets are located in a stable OECD fiscal regime with supportivestate and federal governments

Phoenix South Overview
Drill Results
When Phoenix-1 well was drilled in 1980 the
outcome was assumed to be tight gas
The Phoenix South-1 well drilled in August 2014
was an oil discovery confirming the current
reservoir model
Size
The well intersected at least four discrete oil
columns ranging in thickness between 26 to 46
metres
There is estimated to be as much as 300 MMbbls
in place
(1)Oil Quality
Six oil samples recovered with API gravity
estimates of 46 to 48 degrees
Reservoir
Permeability measurements from the sampled
zones indicate an oil productive reservoir
Permeabilities calculated in tested zones range
from tens to hundreds of millidarcies
Sand rich reservoir section between 4,160 and
4,540 metres confirms the reservoir model
