Armour Energy and controlled entities armourenergy.com.au Directors' report continued for the year ended 30 June 2020 SUSTAINABILITY CONTINUED CLIMATE CHANGE DISCLOSURE CONTINUED Notwithstanding the favourable landscape for the ongoing production and sale of natural gas as outlined above, Armour anticipates that its activities may be subject to increasing regulation and costs associated with climate change, and/or the management of carbon emissions. The Company is committed to understanding and managing the current and emerging regulatory, reputational, and market-related risks of climate change to its operations. The Company's Executive Team and Audit and Risk Management Committee continue to undertake a detailed review of the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) for any further or more detailed disclosures required for future reporting periods. However, the Company's view is that there are currently no climate change related risks which are material enough to warrant disclosure in the Company's current period Financial Statements. This includes the potential regulatory, transitional, and physical risks associated with climate change. Ajuo ésil Cuosied The Company is also conscious that other social consensus-based issues connected with climate change and environmental stewardship may impact its operations and cost structures into the future. These are dynamic issues which will need to be monitored and considered in the context of the Company's decisions regarding the use of its capital, the nature and longevity of certain assets and operations, the safety and security of its workforce, and the interests of its broader stakeholders and the communities in which it operates. At this stage, there have been no direct impacts on Armour's operations or assets connected to these issues, other than the gas and hydraulic fracturing moratoriums imposed by the Victorian and Northern Territory Governments. stimulation results, analysis of historical well production, decline curve analysis, offset field production data and prior production data from wells before the Kincora Gas Plant was shut-in by the previous operator, Origin Energy. The reported Reserves are used in connection with estimates of commercially recoverable quantities of petroleum only and in the most specific category that reflects an objective degree of uncertainty in the estimated quantities of recoverable petroleum. The petroleum reserves are reported net of fuel and net to Armour to the APA Group metered sales connection to the Roma to Brisbane Pipeline (Run 2) at Wallumbilla and the report discloses the portion of petroleum Reserves that will be consumed as fuel in production and lease plant operations. Armour will be using calibrated metering and gas chromatographs at the Kincora Gas Plant as a reference point for the purpose of measuring and assessing the estimated petroleum Reserves from the produced gas. The economic assumptions used to calculate the estimates of petroleum Reserves are commercially sensitive to the Armour operated Kincora Project. The methodology used to determine the economic assumptions are based upon strategic objectives that include, but not limited to, new drills, hydraulic stimulation, workovers, recompletes and surface facility modifications to ramp up to and maintain a 30 TJ/day production profile for 15 years. The sanctioned development model includes a starting and ending monthly schedule of working/net interest capital expenditure to develop and maintain the petroleum Reserves, operational expenditure to develop and produce the petroleum Reserves, fixed petroleum Reserve prices under-contract and escalated petroleum Reserve futures based upon Wallumbilla Hub prices, tax/royalty sensitivities, revenue from gross and net petroleum production yields and cash flow from petroleum production yields and summation of discounted cash flows. No financial impacts have been recorded in the current period by Armour in relation to these initiatives as: The Company's project equity interests in the state of Victoria are currently carried at a nil value, having been written down in an earlier period; and The Government of the Northern Territory has now lifted its moratorium and granting the Company an extension of time for it to complete its exploration activities, together with reductions in its financial commitments related thereto. Armour is committed to making further progress in relation to climate change disclosure and reporting in future periods, as well as the continued monitoring and improvement of operational and site issues connected with the issues highlighted above. COMPETENT PERSONS STATEMENT TECHNICAL STATEMENT - HYDROCARBON RESERVES The report 'Armour Energy Hydrocarbon Reserves, 01 January 2020', documents the Reserves Update based upon Armour's successful drilling and sales production from the Myall Creek 4A, Myall 5A and Horseshoe 4 wells in PL 511 and PL 227 (see Map 1). The estimated aggregated quantities of petroleum reserves to be recovered from existing wells and through future capital are listed in Table 1 above and exclude 5% production processing fuel and provisional flaring. The independently verified 'Armour Energy Hydrocarbon Reserves, 01 January 2020' report details a high degree of confidence in the commercial producibility of Permian aged reservoirs previously discovered and produced in operated granted petroleum licenses 511 and 227 using, recent Armour drilled and hydraulically stimulated wells, 2D-3D seismic, historic and modern well data, reservoir pressure data, electric logs and rock properties from chip and core samples, gas composition analysis, hydraulic The petroleum Reserves are located on granted petroleum licences with approved environmental authorities and financial assurances. Armour has a social licence to operate and relevant surface access agreements are in-place. Armour is the owner and operator of the Kincora Project and PPL3 sales gas pipeline which connects the Kincora Gas Plant to the Wallumbilla gas hub via the connection agreement with APA. Armour holds granted Petroleum Licenses over the reported estimates of petroleum Reserves, associated gathering and field compressors. The basis for confirming the commercial producibility and booking of the estimated petroleum Reserves is supported by actual historic production and sales and/or formation tests. The analytical procedures used to estimate the petroleum reserves were decline-curve analysis to 50 thousand cubic-feet-day, historic production data and relevant subsurface data including, formation tests, 2D-3D seismic surveys, well logs and core analysis that indicate significant extractable petroleum. The proposed extraction method of the estimated petroleum Reserves will be through approved conventional drilling and, where applicable, hydraulic stimulation techniques to accelerate production, commingle the productive zones and extract volumes from tight gas zones. Wellbores will be cased and cemented with a -pressure wellhead completion. Petroleum will be recovered through 2-3/8" production tubing and gathered to field compression sites for delivery to the Kincora Gas Plant. Wellbores will be designed to protect aquifers and deviated drilling may be used to lessen the overall impact to surface owners, environmental receptors, strategic cropping and to consolidate surface infrastructure. Processing at the Kincora Gas Plant will be required to separate the extracted hydrocarbons into dry gas, liquid petroleum gas, oil, and condensate and to remove any impurities prior to sales. 48 49 49
