PDL3 contains a portion of the SE Gobe oil and gas field (operated by Oil Search). PDL3 was granted

in December 1996 (expiry December, 2021 and extendable). The SE Gobe field includes the South

East Gobe Unit (SEG Unit – refer below). Cue’s interest in PDL3 is 5.57%, and in the SEG Unit is

3.286% for oil and 2.606% for future gas production.

South East Gobe Unit (SEG Unit) and Unit Operating Agreement (SEGUOA)

The SE Gobe field straddles a portion of PDL3 and PDL4. Together participants in PDL3 and PDL4

make up the SEG Unit. Oil from the SE Gobe field is processed via the Gobe Processing Facility, which

also processes oil from the Gobe Main field.

Production

First production from SE Gobe commenced in 1998 and cumulative life-of-field production is 44

MMbbl through Q1, 2014 from the Iagifu Sandstone. SE Gobe is currently producing approximately

1,500 Bopd (gross) with gas being reinjected. Production is processed at the nearby Gobe Processing

Facility and exported via the Kutubu pipeline.

As oil production naturally declines, the field will transition to gas production and is expected to

supply the PNG LNG project from H2 2014 at up to 35 MMscf per day.

Product Transportation and Marketing

Cue has a 1.64% interest in Pipeline Licence No. 3 that links the Gobe Processing facility to the

Kutubu pipeline. The other interests are held by members of the SEG Unit.

Oil Search, the operator of the SE Gobe field, markets the oil on behalf of Cue through a marketing

agency agreement. Gas is expected to supply the Exxon operated PNG LNG pipeline and facility from

H2 2014.

RETENTION LICENCE PRL9 – BARIKEWA GAS DISCOVERY

Cue Energy is proposing to divest its PNG portfolio which includes interests in the Barikewa

discovered resource in retention licence PRL9, the South East Gobe oil and gas field (SEG Unit in

PDL3 and associated Pipeline Licence No. 3) and discovered resources held in retention licence

PRL14 (Cobra, Iehi & Bilip).

PRL9 is located approximately 20km south east of the SE Gobe oil and gas field and covers an area of

567 km2. The retention licence was initially issued on 18 December, 2002 and extended on 18

December, 2007. An application for further extension has been lodged with the PNG government

with a proposed extension through to 2017. The application for extension includes a work program

that provides for a Barikewa appraisal well.

PRL9 contains the Barikewa Gas Discovery and has a gross contingent resource (2C) of 299 BCF with

upside to 823 BCF (gross 3C).

Barikewa Gas Discovery

The Barikewa-1 well was drilled in 1957 and proved separate gas on rock accumulations in 15-20m

thick sands of the Toro and Hedinia formations. The Barikewa-2 appraisal well was drilled in 1982 on

the northern flank of the anticline and was found to be dry. Subsequent 2-D seismic showed that

Barikewa-2 is modestly down dip on the structure. Barikewa-2 is separated physically and

hydraulically from Barikewa-1 by faulting. Pressure data indicates potentially long gas columns of up

to 170m. The deeper Magobu Formation was not penetrated and provides additional upside

potential in the form of prospective gas resources.

Further 2D seismic was acquired in 2009, the analysis of which provided a more reliable structural

interpretation of the gas bearing Toro-C Sandstone and Hedinia Sandstone levels that significantly

reduced the remaining uncertainty in the reserves attributed to these reservoirs.

Technical and G&G studies

Contingent acquisition and processing of 60km 2D seismic

Commercial Development There are currently a number of domestic and export focussed gas development studies occurring in

PNG including the potential expansion of the Exxon operated PNG LNG project. This provides

significant opportunity for the potential development of the Barikewa resource.

The Barikewa resource, located just 5km from the PNG LNG pipeline, is positioned well to supply any

of the gas study development options.

RETENTION LICENCE PRL14 – COBRA, IEHI & BILIP DISCOVERIES

Cue Energy is proposing to divest its PNG portfolio which includes interests in the Cobra, Iehi and

Bilip discovered resources in retention licence PRL14, the South East Gobe oil and gas field (SEG

Unit in PDL3 and associated Pipeline Licence No. 3) and Barikewa discovered resource in retention

licence PRL9.

PRL14 is located to the south and east of PDL3 and the SE Gobe field. The licence covers an area of

425 km2 and was issued on 22 November, 2010 for a 5 year term (expiry 23 November, 2015) with

the possibility to apply for several extensions. PRL14 contains three discoveries with an aggregate

gross contingent resource (2C) of 595 BCF gas and 1 MMbbl oil. There is possible further oil upside at

Iehi and potential for multiple TCF upside.

* Operator

Cobra Gas Discovery

Cobra is located 15km to the east of the SE Gobe field. Cobra-1A ST3 was drilled in 2008 and

discovered gas and condensate. A 34m gas (on rock) column was intersected in the Upper Hedinia

Sandstone (1715-1749 mss), the proven Lowest Known Gas (LKG) is 1,749 mss (base of the reservoir

section) and most likely Gas Water Contact (GWC) is interpreted at 1,784 mss from pressure data.

The crest of the Cobra structure (Top Upper Hedinia surface) is estimated at 1466 mss and the

intersection of the GWC and Top Upper Hedinia establishes a field area of 32.7 km2 with a potential

gas column of 318m.

Iehi Discovery

Iehi is located 15km south east of the SE Gobe field. Iehi-1 was drilled in 1960 and intersected a 35m

gross gas (on rock) column within the early Cretaceous aged Toro Sandstone. A production test was

undertaken at a maximum rate of 32.6 MMscf/d. The Lowest Known Gas (LKG) is 1,283 mss (base of

the reservoir section), and using regional aquifer data the most likely Gas Water Contact (GWC) is

1,320mss indicating a gas column height of approximately 90m.

The well logs showed an anomalous resistivity response in the 52m thick Iagifu Sandstone suggesting

there could be bypassed oil.

Oil shows were also present in Hedinia Sandstone cores, and resistivity anomalies (untested) are

present in the Koi-Iange Formation.

Iehi-1 Petrophysics of the Toro, Hedinia, Iagifu and Koi-Iange reservoir sections

Bilip Discovery

Bilip is located 10km east of the SE Gobe field. Bilip-1 was drilled in 2002 to test a hanging wall

anticline and intersected a gross gas column of 18.2m and underlying 15.8m oil column in the Iagifu

Sandstone (late Jurassic Imburu Formation). Pressure data defines a GOC at 1720 mss (2,437.6 mRT)

and an OWC at 1735.8 mss (2,453.4 mRT). A closed chamber DST captured approximately 60 bbls oil

(42-46 o API) and gas during reverse circulation.

The Bilip hydrocarbon accumulation straddles the PRL14 and PDL4 boundary and is mapped to cover

an area of 7.5 km2 with a maximum relief of 240m (1480-1720 mss). The gas cap is mostly in PDL4

but 30-50% of the oil leg volume, approximately 1 MMbbls, is in PRL14. The overall structure has a

potential recoverable oil volume of 2-3 MMbbls oil.

Work Commitments

The approved minimum work program for the duration of the licence includes geological mapping,

G&G studies, gas market analysis and review of development options. The minimum work program

has been largely completed.

Commercial Development

There are currently a number of domestic and export focussed gas development studies occurring in

PNG including the potential expansion of the Exxon operated PNG LNG project. PRL14 is in very close

proximity to existing production and infrastructure and there are a number of potential options for

the future development of the Cobra, Iehi and Bilip resource discoveries. Several oil development

options may be available for Bilip including a flowline and separator connecting to Gobe Facilities,

flowline connecting to existing SE Gobe Facilities, and separation at Bilip and trucking to Gobe

Facilities.
