PEL 182 Deep Coal Commercialisation Study – Phase 2 (Bass 100%)
Bass and SLB have finalised the scope of phase 2 of the study which SLB will lead. The results of the study

determine preliminary well designs and the number of frac stages required to achieve flow rates and gas
recoveries per well to economically exploit this substantial resource.

February up 4% on January. Bass share of field production for the month was 3,729 barrels of oil with

Discussions with Pertamina EP with a view to securing a rig slot on their drilling program are in progress. As
part of those discussions the team is looking to lock in a spud date as soon as possible.
The well pad construction has been completed with the flowline laid to the edge of the location.
