I. Executive Summary

The Opportunity

5

I. Australia is entering a new era of onshore exploration driven by high O&G prices and advancements in production technologies

Increasing activity from over 25 local and foreign petroleum permit operators who invested c. $500m in exploration drilling during 2011, with strong growth forecast to continue

The Australian industry has been buoyed by the recent entry of multi-nationals like ConocoPhillips, BG, CNOOC, HESS and Mitsubishi

Australian unconventional projects are considered to lag the US by approximately a decade

― The number of active drilling rigs in North America has increased from <500 rigs in 1999 to approximately 2,000 today

II. The founders of Enerdrill identified a significant shortage of large onshore rigs (i.e. capable of drilling +3000m) in Australia

Rig scarcity is one of the primary bottlenecks constraining Australian onshore exploration

Only two permanent drilling rigs1 are currently operating in WA/NT, with waiting periods of c. 1 year for additional rigs

The shortage is likely to continue with high barriers to entry due to the significant up-front costs, local capability and the difficulty of sourcing rigs

III. Enerdrill boasts an industry leading & proven management team, which has collectively been involved with every onshore well drilled in WA since 2000

The team possesses a unique combination of skills and experience, including rig design & building, drilling operations & associated logistics, well design & engineering, and corporate & financial expertise

A preferred partner agreement with Bonnie Rock Transport (the industry leader in the provision of O&G logistics) has been entered into

I. Executive Summary

The Opportunity (Continued)

6

IV. Enerdrill currently owns 3 rigs - two mechanical drilling rigs & one workover rig

Rig-1 is a mobile self-propelled workover rig suited to performing remedial & restoration operations and can be easily upgraded to enable the drilling of CSG & CBM wells

Rigs 2 & 3 are heavy duty Mechanical Rigs capable of drilling to 4,000m & 5,200m respectively

― Rig-2 consists of a derrick & base with Rig-3 ancillary equipment being shared between the two rigs as required for the first year of operations

The rigs are pre-used and require refurbishment & fit-out of ancillary equipment prior to commencing operations

Rig-1 (workover rig) is expected to be operational by October 2012, and rigs 2 & 31 are planned to be drill ready by the end of 2012

Discussions for multi-well contracts are underway with potential clients

An independent valuation firm has assessed the current (ie: pre-debt and equity capital raising) fair value of the three rigs as being $7.2m

– This fair value assessment compares with the pre-money value of Enerdrill (based on the capital raising price) of $7.25m

V. Directors estimate the market value of Enerdrill’s rigs post refurbishment (December 2012) will be in the range of $18m to $20m

This is in line with Enerdrill’s projected enterprise value at that time (based on the capital raising price) of $18.5m ($16m equity and $2.5m net debt excluding working capital)

VI. The Base Case Financial Model projects attractive economics, with 4 year IRR of 45% and ROI of 321%2

The shortage of available rigs in Australia continues to support high daily rig rates & utilisation

VII. Enerdrill is now selectively seeking investors to participate in an $8.5 million3 equity raising to fund the refurbishment and fit-out of the Rigs, the acquisition of a mini-camp, and the provision of working capital through to the establishment of commercial operations

The financial model is available upon request

An online data-room has been prepared for potential investors

1Rigs 2 & 3 will share equipment during the first year of operations

2Using Base Case assumptions, see page 26 for key assumptions 3Dermot O’Keefe has an option to acquire 250,000 shares at the capital raising price of $1 per share

Global O&G prices have risen substantially since 2003, driven by:

Continually increasing global demand for both oil and gas

The decline in production from many of the world’s large conventional fields

A lack of discoveries of large new conventional fields

A resulting focus on lower quality and/or more expensive conventional fields such as those found offshore in deep water

A large increase in exploration for, and production of unconventional fields, which have higher associated production costs

In Australia, domestic gas prices have increased markedly in recent years

In WA, gas prices increased from c. $2 per Gigajoule (“Gj”) in 2006, to c. $8/Gj today

On the east coast, prices have increased from c.$3/Gj to c. $6/Gj

Domgas price increases have largely been driven by the increase in exports of domestically produced gas to international LNG markets (primarily Japan)

LNG prices are currently c. $15/Gj

Domgas prices have effectively become linked to global energy prices due to the alternative of exporting Australian gas at higher prices

US gas prices have declined steeply since September 2008 ($12/Gj to $2/Gj), largely because of the enormous increase in shale gas production

Gas is not currently exported from US, resulting in substantial domestic oversupply

Various US LNG export terminals are now in planning, and are expected to reduce domestic oversupply (and result in a higher Henry Hub price)

US LNG exports (which are still >3 years from meaningful volumes) are expected to reduce global gas prices somewhat, although Asian demand is projected to absorb new supply until at least 20181

Drilling activity has increased as a result of higher O&G prices and the trend towards unconventional fields, which require far more wells

II. Sector overview

Higher Oil & Gas Prices Driving Drilling Activity

9

The continued increase in global demand for oil & gas has seen a supply side response involving the development of higher cost fields (deep water offshore and unconventional onshore), which has seen the marginal cost of production and prices increase

The unconventional industry has revolutionised the North American energy sector with the search for prospective acreage now a global one

Inspired by the US shale & tight gas boom in recent years, Australian companies and an increasing number of international O&G operators have commenced the evaluation process of Australian unconventional fields

― Mitsubishi’s commitment of $152m to earn 50% of Buru’s Canning Basin permits

― ConocoPhillips US$110m commitment to New Standard to farm-in to a 75% share of the Goldwyer shale project

― BG’s1 $130m commitment to Drillsearch for a 60% interest in one of Drillsearch’s tenements in the Cooper Basin plus an option over shares equivalent to 9.9% of the company

400 Tcf of recoverable gas with the focus of the local industry over the next decade determining how much can be commercially produced

Cooper & Perth basins are best understood and have existing conventional production infrastructure and pipelines

Other prospective basin’s include Canning, Georgina & Beetaloo, but less is known about rock quality, and infrastructure is virtually absent

It is hoped that Australian shales can be successfully fracced using the same technologies employed in the US

The rig capacity shortage is expected to continue amidst escalating exploration and development. With only 2 rigs permanently located in WA/NT and 10 Australia wide capable of drilling +3,000m wells, operators are being forced to try and source rigs internationally (a slow and expensive process)

New Standard Energy - from New Guinea3

ICON Energy - from North America

Full field development of unconventional projects requires continuous drilling to offset high initial per well decline rates

Multiple rigs (potentially between 4 & 8) may be required on a full-time basis for +20 years to develop a single field

Development of one or more unconventional fields in WA or NT would result in a step change in rig demand

Enerdrill currently expects only 44 rigs (Including Enerdrill’s Rig-2 & 3 sharing equipment) to be available for use in WA & NT by 2013

Majority of +3000m rigs are situated in the Cooper basin and will not be available to service other basins due to long term contracts already underway

The opportunity for Enerdrill is to provide rigs to satisfy some of the unmet demand

With increasing levels of activity, demand is expected to continue to significantly outstrip supply of available rigs

Operations

It is expected that during the first year of operations Rig-2 & Rig-3 will share ancillary equipment (mud tanks, mini-camp etc). Only one of the two rigs will operate at any point in time, with equipment to be moved between rigs as required

Rig-3 is expected to spend extensive time in the Perth Basin where a greater drilling depth is required. Rig-2 likely to be primarily used in Northern Australia (i.e. Canning and Beetaloo Basins)

Rig-1 expected to be in full operation by October 2012

It is anticipated that an additional set of equipment for Rig-3 will be purchased early 2014 for c.$5m. This is likely to be funded from a combination of retained earnings and debt

― Following the purchase of equipment, Rig-2 & Rig-3 will have their own equipment and will be operating independent of each other

Growth

It is expected that any future purchase(s) of rigs would be funded from debt and a mixture of retained earnings & an equity raising

21

Rig-1 is expected to be operational by October, with Rigs 2 and 3 targeted to be drill ready in December 2012

VI. Risks

Key Risks

36

Volatility of oil & gas prices

O&G supply/demand dynamics may change, which can materially impact prices, and therefore the level of drilling activity

Cost Inflation

Escalation of costs (in excess of prices) may erode the financial viability of operations. This is particularly relevant in WA and NT, where the resources boom is putting pressure on the supply and prices of labour and equipment

Movements in foreign exchange rates

Currency fluctuations can impact capital costs, operating costs and revenue (indirectly via movements in AUD O&G prices), therefore impacting on Enerdrill’s financial performance

Environmental regulations

O&G drilling activity is subject to stringent environmental regulations. Further tightening of these regulations may reduce the future demand for drilling rigs

Native title and heritage issues

Subject to extensive Native Title and heritage approvals. Receipt of such approvals can significantly delay project timelines

Natural disasters

Drilling often occurs in harsh environments such as the desert and the tropics. Natural disasters such as fires, cyclones and floods may adversely impact operations

General Risk Factors

Page 37: Information Memorandum in Relation to an $8.5m Equity ... · Information Memorandum in Relation to an $8.5m Equity Capital Raising for Enerdrill Pty Ltd (ACN 147 416 215) May 2012

VI. Risks

Key Risks (cont.)

37

Rigs are unable to be made drill ready on budget or on time

Achievement of the targeted timeline to operations will require capable management of the various work streams and costs. Material over-runs could impact Enerdrill’s financial performance and industry reputation

Operational underperformance

Enerdrill has not yet proven the ability of its rigs to operate to the standard required. An inability to deliver the expected level of performance could adversely affect Enerdrill’s reputation and financial performance

Reduction in demand for Drilling Rigs

Industry-wide constraints are creating project delays, cost pressures and staffing challenges. These issues may cause drilling programs to be delayed or even cancelled, resulting in reduced demand (utilisation) and ultimately in reduced revenue

Increase in rig supply of drilling rigs (competition)

Enerdrill may face increased competition from other drilling companies entering the Australian market , or from existing operators redeploying underutilised rigs from their international operations (such as North America, where gas prices are depressed) . This may result in reduced utilisation and or day rates

Enerdrill believes this is not an issue in the short to medium term as the Australian market currently doesn’t have the depth or long term contracts required for international drillers to justify the high costs of importing equipment, building a local team, and certifying rigs to Australian standard

Uneven revenues driven by progress of projects and funding capability of clients

The majority of expected future drilling programs are yet to be committed, and the scale and timing of drilling activity remains uncertain and subject to change

Ability to attract and retain high quality staff & contractors

There is currently a shortage of skilled labour in the oil and gas sector. There is a risk that Enerdrill may find it difficult to attract staff with the requisite skills

Shale gas is ultimately not commercially successful in Australia

The shale gas industry is still unproven in Australia, with only two shale specific wells having been drilled to date. If Australian shales are unable to be produced commercially on a meaningful scale, exploration expenditure, and associated drilling activity, may reduce significantly

Key person risk

Enerdrill’s success relies on certain key people, initially being John Wells and Jim Currie. If one of more key people cease association with the Company, Enerdrill’s operational performance could be materially impacted

Health, Safety & Environment incidents

O&D drilling is an inherently risky activity, both in terms of human safety, and the potential for environmental catastrophes. Negative outcomes can include the loss of life and/or uncontrolled oil spills in environmentally sensitive environments, resulting in significant costs and reputational damage.

Demand growth will depend on prices both for the gas and the commodities being produced. Gas consumption in Western Australia is dominated by mineral processing, mine site and electricity generation. All sectors expect significant growth over the next ten years

Carbon tax from July 2012 is expected to stimulate further demand for gas fired power generation

Demand and supply forecasts indicate a potential gas shortfall of 400 to 600 TJ/day by 2015 in WA alone

The combination of growth and replacement production indicate a need to source at least 1,100 TJ/day of new domestic production by 2020
