KIWI GAS | COMMERCIALISATION STRATEGY
The Kiwi EPT suggests it is a more valuable gas resource than originally thought due to very high
liquids content
Kiwi 1 drilled in 2003 discovered gas and flowed 9.6 MMCFD on a DST
Bass team utilising 3D seismic has assessed the Kiwi gas discovery to
contain:
Mean resource of 5.24 BCF1.
Identified an upside 3C resource of 11.5 BCF1.
Typical NPV of gas reserves in ground of $2m-3m / BCF and condensate
an additional $15-20 / bbl.
The team also identified other traps, or prospects, on trend with Kiwi that,
as a result of a successful test at Kiwi, may be significantly upgraded.
An Extended Production Test recently concluded recording strong flow rates
of 4.1 MMCFD along with 988 barrels of condensate per day1.
Low levels of inerts have been detected in the gas with low CO2 content
(4.5%) and no H2S1.
Assessment of timelines and development options are currently being
undertaken as further results from the EPT are received.

DEEP COAL GAS COMMERCIALISATION STUDY
Underway commercialisation study follows Nov 2022 Deep Coal Gas Prospective Resource study
Permian coals have long been recognised as the source of most of the
conventional hydrocarbons discovered and produced in the Cooper Basin.
Gas in the Permian coals of the Toolachee, Epsilon and Patchawarra has
flowed at potentially commercial rates after fracture stimulation.
The Patchawarra Trough, where Bass’ 100% owned PEL 182 is situated, is
in an ideal location to yield an economic outcome utilising directional drilling
and fracture stimulation.
Bass previously announced the Deep Coal Gas Prospective Resource in
PEL 182 at a “best estimate” of 21 TCF of gas in place, along with an
accompanying 845 million barrels of condensate in place2.
Bass formally engaged SLB to perform a technical study, with the first
phase of the study now concluded with favourable geological conditions
confirmed and critical inputs for further economic modelling captured3.
Mechanical Earth Model (MEM) now being used to determine preliminary
well designs. Calibrated against adjacent Santos well data under a Data
Sharing Agreement.

Model outputs such as well costs and production forecasts will be used to
assess the commercial feasibility of this resource.
Please refer to ASX Announcement, 1“Deep Coal Commercialisation Study Underway”, 2“Significant Gas Resource Identified in PEL 182” and 3“PEL182 Geomechanical Study Results” released 18 April
2024, 16 November 2022 and 16 September 2024 respectively for further information

WARRA RIDGE PROSPECTIVE OPPORTUNITY
Preliminary assessment indicates significant Oil Prospective Resource
As part of the prospectivity review of all recently acquired permits, Bass has
identified a potential oil trend in the southern Cooper Basin along the Warra
ridge in the Company’s 100% owned PRLs 231-233.
The Warra ridge is adjacent to Bass’ Worrior oil field and south of
numerous other producing oil fields.
Bass has identified the Tyrell and Flint prospects utilising the Westeros 3D
seismic survey.
The Tyrell prospect is currently under detailed evaluation, however
preliminary assessment indicates a Prospective Resource of over 2 million
barrels of oil in the McKinlay, Namur and Murta formations1.
Once the prospects are fully evaluated, they will likely be offered to
potential farm-in partners for drilling in the 2025 drilling program.

SOUTH SUMATRA BASIN | PORTFOLIO OVERVIEW
Profitable producer in prolific oil and gas region
No. of Permits
• 1 Production License (KSO)
Interest
• 55% interest and operator
• Tangai-Sukananti Oil fields:
o The Company's acquisition of the Tangai-Sukananti KSO in 2017 transformed
Bass Oil into a profitable oil producer in a prolific oil and gas region
o The KSO additionally provides a platform for future growth through low-cost
development opportunities and value-adding bolt-on acquisition.
o Previous modelling of the K reservoir in the Bunian field has identified the
potential to improve recoveries and reduce development costs through the
application of horizontal drilling techniques.
Key Assets
CY23 Production
• 83.6 mbbl
• Procurement and planning have commenced for the drilling of the Bunian 6
development well. Bunian 6 is South-West of Bunian 3, the strongest producer in the
field and has produced more than 1 million barrels of oil to date.
The well is expected spud in the second half of 2024.
The results of Bunian 6 will inform the potential for a significant extension of the Bunian
field to the west. The existence of the westerly extension will likely be tested by the
drilling of the Bunian West 1 well currently planned for the 2025 drilling program. A
drilling success at Bunian West could increase field reserves significantly proving the
3P reserves case.
Growth Initiatives
•
•
Next Steps
• Completion of drilling of the Bunian 6 development well.
