CAMBAY FIELD, GUJARAT, INDIA

(Oilex: Operator and 45% interest)

Independent Reserves and Resources

RISC Operations Pty Ltd (RISC), an Australian based, internationally recognised independent petroleum advisory group, completed an independent Resource Report of the Eocene Formation of the Cambay Field in April 2015. This work follows on from its evaluation of Cambay-77H flowback and test data in December 2014.

**Includes Oilex net working interest of 40.5 Bcf of gas and 1.3 MMbbls of C5+ that would be categorised as 1P subject to securing finance for the development.

The Reserves are attributed to an area of the Cambay Field having multiple vintage and modern well intersections of the X and Y zones with hydrocarbon flows. The area encompasses recent Oilex operated drilling and production testing activity including the successful Cambay-77H well, the first successfully production tested multi-stage frac'd horizontal well in India.

Gas Market

Gas is currently marketed on a competitive tender basis to buyers and will be sold into a low pressure local market, commencing with production from Cambay-73. Contractual commitments are in place from previous tendering activities and cover gas sales for up to 2 years.

Production and Facilities

Cambay-73

During the quarter Oilex completed the Cambay-73 oil and gas production facilities on budget and ahead of schedule. Construction of the pipeline commenced during the quarter, with tie in to the production facilities completed in June, followed by pre commissioning and start up activities.

Gas sales commenced from Cambay-73 into the low pressure local market near the Cambay Field at the end of June. Average daily production from Cambay-73 is 50.5 boepd including condensate. This is the first gas to be sold from the Y zone in the Eocene EP-IV Formation that contains 2P gas Reserves of 206 Bcf (gross) and 2P oil Reserves of 8 MMbbls (gross) as independently assessed by RISC Operations Pty Ltd. For further information, please refer to Oilex's announcement dated 16 April 2015 for details of the independently classified Cambay Field Reserves and Contingent Resources.

Demand for gas from local light industrial businesses is ongoing, with expressions of interest to purchase gas continuing to be received by Oilex including from buyers who previously bid for Cambay-73 gas. Later this year, Oilex intends to recommence production from Cambay-77H to increase gas sales to the local low pressure market as well as commencing gas sales from Bhandut-3. In addition, the approved firm work programme for 2015/16, which is subject to available funding (including successful completion of the Capital Raise) includes 5 well workovers and consideration is being given to those which have penetrated the same formation and could be capable of gas production for the local market.

Condensate (API 49 ) co-produced with gas is separated at the Cambay Field, combined with other Cambay Field crude oil and transported by truck to be sold to a nearby refinery at import parity price using Bonny Light Crude as a marker reference.

Oilex has also started an assessment of nearby legacy wells which may be capable of being tied into the Cambay-73 facilities should they have surplus capacity. In conjunction with this, the Cambay Joint Venture will evaluate expanding supply to the local low pressure gas market as a method to increase production and cash flow with minimal investment.

The scheduled commencement of gas sales into the Indian domestic market reinforces Oilex's strategic advantage as an early mover in tight gas production in India and highlights the Company's ability to access infrastructure and successfully execute its work programmes.

Infrastructure

The Cambay Field is located approximately 10km from the high pressure gas pipeline network with spare capacity. The pipeline connection to the high pressure grid will be constructed and owned by a third party, which is likely to be an affiliate of Oilex's joint venture partner, Gujarat State Petroleum Corporation (GSPC). Timing of construction has yet to be determined.

The 2P Reserves are anticipated to support a plateau gas production rate of 50MMscfd, whilst the 2P + 2C combined volumes may support a plateau gas production rate of 125 - 250MMscfd. Studies, yet to be completed, will determine an optimum field gas production profile and incorporate data from wells drilled as part of the 2015/16 budget.

The establishment of Reserves provides a strong foundation for the expedited development of the Cambay Field and achievement of our key corporate goals of increasing production, cash flow and reserves. Oilex's first-mover advantage in opening the Cambay Basin (and India) to development of its significant tight oil and gas resources, places the Company on a strong growth trajectory in a robust energy market.

TOTAL NET PRODUCTION - 301 BBLS and 487 MSCF for the quarter

The Cambay Field delivered net oil production of 301 barrels and 487 MSCF for the three months to 30 June, an increase for oil of 46% on the previous quarter.

Work Programme and Budget 2015/16

The work programme and budget for the 2015/16 year has been approved by both the Joint Venture and the Government of India. Oilex has commenced work on schedule critical, tendering activities and expects to take advantage of the recent decrease in global oil & gas activity to achieve a reduction in drilling and other costs.

The work programme consists of a firm 2 well drilling campaign and 2 contingent wells for which all long lead items will be procured concurrently such that a timely decision can be made to commit to the contingent wells. The first well is expected to spud late in H2 2015, subject to the finalisation of funding. Full diameter core across the Y zone will be collected in each firm well. Special analyses will be conducted on each core and the data obtained from the analyses will be used to finalise the frac design for each well. Core analysis is widely undertaken in North America and it is anticipated that core data will lead to better frac efficiency compared to Cambay-77H. Prior to the commencement of the horizontal well drilling campaign, the JV plans to commence a legacy well work-over campaign to boost oil and possibly gas production. This work-over campaign is integral to achieving the Company's target of cash flow positive operations (excluding exploration and field development costs) in India during 2015.

Engineering studies for permanent production and gas treatment facilities have commenced. These studies will examine the cost and schedule parameters of a range of throughput sizes as part of the development planning for the field. The work includes conceptual design of a small throughput plant that would enable pipeline quality gas to be sold into the gas grid relatively quickly and thus tapping into a larger market.

Oilex has concluded two gas sale agreements (GSA) to date. GSAs are conducted via a bid system, with buyers submitting offers to purchase via a tender process. Given the demand for gas by nearby industrial users, strong pricing has been secured.

Existing industry located within 15km of the Cambay Field also means very low capital cost is associated with sales of gas to the local market and the tie-in to the existing gas transmission pipeline network. The network has excess capacity for additional gas that can be used for gas from the Cambay Field.

Oilex continues working towards bringing Cambay-77H and Bhandut-3 into production during H2 2015, noting the increase in gas demand around the Cambay Field area.

BHANDUT FIELD, GUJARAT, INDIA

(Oilex: Operator and 40% interest)

Harvesting Conventional Gas

Bhandut-3 has previously flowed at a maximum rate of 6.5MMscfd through a 10mm choke with a flowing tubing head pressure of 1,190 psia during an isochronal test. The test confirmed the reservoir sand has a permeability of 124mD, making it a conventional reservoir. It is planned to deliver approximately 0.5-1MMscfd from the Bhandut-3 well. The Company anticipates the cost of the production facilities payback in 7 months from commencement of production based upon the contracted gas price.

Having received endorsement of the gas sales agreement, the Bhandut Joint Venture has commenced establishing the appropriate production facilities for Bhandut-3. This will include a compressed natural gas (CNG) loading facility that will enable CNG "bullet" trucks to be loaded at site for transportation of the gas to end users. Bhandut-3 gas is "lean" and therefore no material condensate production is expected.

During the quarter scope of works was completed, the tendering process was initiated and completed for the construction of the gas production facility. Bids received have been technically and commercially evaluated, with award expected in Q3.

CANNING BASIN, WESTERN AUSTRALIA STP-EPA-0131, STP-EPA-0106, STP-EPA-0107

Wallal Graben

(Oilex: Operator and 100% interest)

The Canning Basin asset is located adjacent to the Pilbara, a global resource centre for iron ore and LNG in Western Australia. Oilex has a low cost entry into a province with the key determinates for successful development, being:

   --     Markets 
   --     Infrastructure 
   --     Geology 

The acreage is in a unique position in the Canning Basin as it is adjacent to many world class mining projects in the Pilbara region. There has been development of a significant amount of infrastructure in the area with the Great Northern Highway, numerous sealed roads, good quality graded roads and multiple airstrips being present within the Oilex acreage. The Telfer Gas pipeline traverses STP-EPA-0131 and any future pipelines from the Canning Basin to the main export terminals at Port Hedland and Karratha would have to pass through the Company's acreage (Figure 1).

The recently acquired airborne gravity and magnetic survey, together with 2D seismic, regional gravity, magnetic, surface geological and well data has confirmed Oilex's structural model of the Wallal Graben.

The graben is present in Oilex's three, 100%-owned, exploration areas encompassing approximately 11,900 km(2) (3 million acres).

During the quarter Oilex completed the burial history modelling and source rock maturity study. The source rock maturity study confirms there is excellent source rock potential. A Prospects and Leads portfolio was completed for conventional plays and unconventional plays.

JPDA 06-103, TIMOR SEA

(Oilex: Operator and 10% interest)

The Joint Venture submitted a request to the Autoridade Nacional do Petroleo (ANP) to terminate the PSC by mutual agreement in accordance with its terms and without penalty or claim on 12 July 2013 (Request to Terminate).

The Request to Terminate followed Joint Venture concerns over the security of PSC tenure as a result of developments within the JPDA, including JPDA (06-103), which are outside the control and influence of the Joint Venture Participants, including:

(a) existence of separate unilateral rights to terminate the Certain Maritime Arrangements in the Timor Sea (CMATS) arising in 2013 in favour of both the Government of Timor Leste and the Government of Australia; and

(b) formal arbitration proceedings being initiated by the Timor Leste Government against the Government of Australia to have CMATS declared void ab initio.

On 15 January, 2014 the ANP suspended the PSC for 3 months to provide sufficient time for a response to the Request to Terminate be determined. The ANP subsequently granted successive 3 month extensions to the PSC.

During the quarter the ANP responded to the Joint Venture and advised that the Request to Terminate had been rejected. Shortly thereafter, the Joint Venture received a Notice of Intent to Terminate the PSC (Notice) from the ANP.

The Notice asserts a monetary claim against the Joint Venture for payment of the estimated cost of exploration activities not carried out in 2013 and certain local content obligations set out in the PSC. The total amount sought to be recovered by the ANP in the Notice is approximately US$17 million (Oilex share US$1.7million). The Company has not provided for a monetary settlement in its accounts and given the significant overpayment in the work programme would not anticipate making such a provision.

The Joint Venture has previously requested credit for excess expenditure on the approved work programme in the amount of circa US$56 million and this issue remains unresolved. The Notice does not include any reference to, nor allowance for, credit for excess monies which have been spent by the Joint Venture during the PSC term. Oilex considers such excess expenditure should be included as part of any financial assessment incorporated in the termination process.

Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the ANP issued the Notice of Termination of the PSC JPDA 06-103 effective 15 July 2015.

The Joint Venture continue to discuss the financial liability of the Contractor upon termination.

WEST KAMPAR PSC, CENTRAL SUMATRA, INDONESIA

(Oilex: 45% interest and further 22.5% secured*)

A Court approved Scheme of Arrangement has been implemented over the Operator, however Oilex continues to pursue enforcement of the Arbitration Award and a commercial settlement.

NEW OPPORTUNITIES

No work on new opportunities completed during the quarter.

CORPORATE

During the quarter Oilex appointed PAC Partners Pty Ltd as its Australian Broker. PAC Partners is a leading independent equities provider with a focus on leading emerging and mid cap companies and also the wholesale business partner of PhillipCapital in Australia.

At the end of the quarter the Company retained a cash position of $1.2 million.

Subsequent to the end of the quarter Oilex announced a two tranche placement and underwritten rights issue to raise US$23 million (A$30 million) to fund the 2015/16 work programme, Canning Basin work programme and working capital. The components of the funding are as follows:

   --        First tranche placement completed to raise US$1.4 million (A$1.8 million) 
   --        Fully underwritten rights issue to raise US$5.3 million (A$7.0 million), in progress 

-- Second tranche placement completed to raise US$16.3 million (A$21.2 million), subject to shareholder approval at a General Meeting to be held on 12 August 2015

Upon successful completion of the Capital Raising, Oilex will be fully funded to deliver the Cambay Field 2015/16 work programme, a transformational event for the Company.

Following the establishment of 2P reserves at Cambay during the quarter, a review of additional funding options has commenced as part of a strategy to consider accessing appropriate debt facilities to assist in the further development of the Cambay Field.

 Prospective    Those quantities of petroleum which are estimated, 
  Resources      as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable 
                 from undiscovered accumulations. 
-------------  ------------------------------------------------------------ 
 Contingent     Those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a 
  Resources      given date, to be potentially recoverable from known 
                 accumulations by application of development projects, 
                 but which are not currently considered to be commercially 
                 recoverable due to one or more contingencies. 
 
                 Contingent Resources may include, for example, projects 
                 for which there are currently no viable markets, 
                 or where commercial recovery is dependent on technology 
                 under development, or where evaluation of the accumulation 
                 is insufficient to clearly assess commerciality. 
                 Contingent Resources are further categorized in 
                 accordance with the level of certainty associated 
                 with the estimates and may be sub-classified based 
                 on project maturity and/or characterised by their 
                 economic status. 
-------------  ------------------------------------------------------------ 
 Reserves       Reserves are those quantities of petroleum anticipated 
                 to be commercially recoverable by application of 
                 development projects to known accumulations from 
                 a given date forward under defined conditions. 
 
                 Proved Reserves are those quantities of petroleum, 
                 which by analysis of geoscience and engineering 
                 data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty 
                 to be commercially recoverable, from a given date 
                 forward, from known reservoirs and under defined 
                 economic conditions, operating methods and government 
                 regulations. 
 
                 Probable Reserves are those additional Reserves 
                 which analysis of geoscience and engineering data 
                 indicate are less likely to be recovered than Proved 
                 Reserves but more certain to be recovered than Possible 
                 Reserves. 
 
                 Possible Reserves are those additional reserves 
                 which analysis of geoscience and engineering data 
                 indicate are less likely to be recoverable than 
                 Probable Reserves. 
 
                 Reserves are designated as 1P (Proved), 2P (Proved 
                 plus Probable) and 3P (Proved plus Probable plus 
                 Possible). 
 
                 Probabilistic methods 
 
                 P90 refers to the quantity for which it is estimated 
                 there is at least a 90% probability the actual quantity 
                 recovered will equal or exceed. P50 refers to the 
                 quantity for which it is estimated there is at least 
                 a 50% probability the actual quantity recovered 
                 will equal or exceed. P10 refers to the quantity 
                 for which it is estimated there is at least a 10% 
                 probability the actual quantity recovered will equal 
                 or exceed.
