As a follow up to the Labyrinth Project Prospective Resource Update (available here), which was released to the market on 7th February 2018, Carnarvon Petroleum is pleased to provide the following presentation which contains some additional information as Carnarvon is seeking expressions of interest to join this exciting project. The attached presentation serves as an introduction to the project and highlights the significant size of the Ivory prospect, estimated to contain a mean calculated 420 million barrels over 2 levels as well as further prospects within the permit. Carnarvon Petroleum’s analysis draws upon a depth of years of experience across the North-West Shelf in order to determine the best technical approach to evaluating these prospects. In particular, the work has drawn upon conclusions from the successful Roc and Phoenix South wells, and using knowledge gained from undertaking studies in similar environments all the way across the North-West Shelf to East Indonesia and Timor, that a working Petroleum System is evident in the region of the Labyrinth Project. Other areas with similar characteristics have hosted commercial oil discoveries at the same levels as those that will be tested in the Ivory and other prospects. The next steps for the Labyrinth project include the acquisition of new 3D seismic data to better delineate a drilling location for the proposed Ivory-1 well. With the overall oil and gas industry showing signs of recovery in comparison to the last few years, Carnarvon management will commence with a process to attract a suitable partner to cover the cost of the 3D acquisition and potential drilling. Yours faithfully

The Ivory Prospect – A Standout Oil Opportunity
Opportunity Overview - Agenda
• Introduction• Play concepts• Late Triassic source rocks• Ivory Prospect – standout oil opportunity• Follow-up exploration• Permit terms• 3D seismic option for farminee

Introduction
• Under-explored does not mean “non-prospective”
• Recent regional insights re-evaluate hydrocarbon charge, particularly in relation to the Triassic
• Ivory Prospect – standout dual target oil opportunity 420mmbbls mean recoverable) in 350 metres water depth– P90 recoverable volumes are in excess of the minimum economic field size– currently defined on a closely spaced 2D grid
• Low cost, forward commitment program– 3D seismic option to refine the Ivory-1 drill location

Introduction
• A new Late Triassic source rock is identified from the recent Anhalt-1 and Hannover South-1 well results
– Birds Head area of West Papua, Indonesia and Timor Island are working analogues
• Three mature source rock intervals with multiple stacked reservoir sequences
• Success at Roc and Phoenix/Phoenix South demonstrates a working petroleum system in this area
• The underfilled Nebo structure had been seen as a negative to hydrocarbon charge adequacy in the Beagle Sub-basin, however ….
– Recent insights show this oil is likely NOT Jurassic and could be typed to the Triassic
– The oil column in Nebo may therefore be re-migrated from an older Triassic pool?

• New proprietary geochemical analysis of Anhalt-1 and Hannover South-1 revealed high TOC and high HI source rocks related to algal and carbon-rich material
• Visual kerogen analysis reveals algal rich (phytoplankton) organic facies markedly different to the co-eval, deltaic Upper Mungaroo Formation sediments
• Hydrocarbon shows were encountered in the Upper Keraudren Formation in the Hannover South-1 sidewall cores

Modified after Haig
• Anhalt-1 and Hannover South-1 demonstrate a Late Triassic carbonate platform with significant source rock potential
• The isopach thick in the Rowley Sub-basin corresponds to a Late Triassic mini-basin, where restricted marine depositional environments are interpreted
• Organic rich kerogens, interdigitated with turbidites are predicted in the depocentre, east of Whitetail-1

• Dual Targets: Two large structural traps that can be drilled with one well
• New Source Rocks: Mixed clastic-carbonate Triassic source rocks identified, currently in the oil window. Comparable working analogues
• Reservoir/Seal: Palaeogeographic reconstructions tightly constrained by well control and seismic facies interpretations confirm key reservoir and seal intervals
• Nebo Oil Discovery: Revised geological interpretation of likely Triassic source positively impacts the Ivory Prospect
• Compelling volumes and economics: P90 recoverable volumes are in excess of the minimum economic field size
Dual prospect levels are matured to a stage where the next step is a 3D seismic survey to optimise the Ivory-1 well location
