  5. THE BUSINESS Investment highlights

  6. 1.1 Unconventional oil and gas in USA Rapid evolution facilitated by: • US unconventional oil and gas plays have revolutionised the world energy markets in recent years • Targeting oil and gas in low permeability rocks through horizontal drilling and fracture stimulation • Different plays have emerged over recent years, originally in gas basins in Texas and then in oilier plays such as the Bakken and EagleFord • Investors in ASX companies with exposure to shale/tight oil have reaped strong returns from these plays, which have attractive risk and return characteristics – AUT the standout following bid from Canadian E&P BaytexEnergy

  8. 1.2 Acreage value – Well established value path There is a well established value realization path in the US for shale/tight oil resource plays: APOG Acreage

  9. 1.3 Partnering with an experienced operator • Treasure Explorationis JV partner and operator of the Northern Star project • Acquired 70% of the Northern Star project with APOG retaining 30% • Treasure paid cash and provides free carry on 2 horizontal wells estimated cost of $8m plus an option for 2 more wells • First well expected in late 2014 with the second well six months later • Treasure is a subsidiary of an established Denver based private Independent E&P focused on Rocky Mountains region with significant drilling experience in tight oil plays • Track record of finding resource style tight oil plays as early entrant, developing and successfully monetising assets

  10. 1.4 Business model • Early entry into onshore US tight oil resource plays, in areas with excellent infrastructure, ability to quickly enter production, generate positive cash flow and expand play areas • Internally generate prospects using geological knowledge, capture significant land positions at a low cost • Partner with experienced Operator to reduce risk capital exposure via a farm out in a cash and carry deal • Monetise assets as play areas mature and seek value accretive acquisition opportunities to complement organic growth • Proven track record in executing this business model with JV executed with Treasure Exploration Farm Out

  11. 1.5 Shale/Tight oil game changers • Drilling techniques have advanced significantly with horizontal wells extending up to 2.5km lateral. • Costs and effectiveness of multi-stage fracturing have improved considerably in the last 10 years - Multi-stage fracturing can now be done in a few days as opposed to weeks. • Microseismic has improved the effectiveness of monitoring the fracturing process. • Technology and techniques used together mean commercial flow rates can be obtained from shale reservoirs at reasonable costs. • Minimal geological risk present; more of an engineering feat. • Production from unconventional resources projected to account for a majority of the supply of gas in the US. • Demonstrated the viability and allowed the commercialisation of shale oil and gas production.

  12. APOG’s CURRENT PROJECTS

  13. 2.1 The assets Early entry in low cost acreage in conventional/tight oil plays in proven oil fields

  14. 2.1 The assets Significant 56,505 gross acres (25,210 net acres) onshore USA/High Retained working interest on shore USA Rocky Mountain basins across 5 key projects: Northern Star • 30% WI in 36,713 gross acres (9,233 net) in Montana. JV with Treasure Exploration Panther • 100% WI in 8,790 gross acres in Montana Rough House • 90% WI in 6,633 gross acres in DJ Basin Colorado Southern Sun • 100% WI in 3,728 gross acres in Utah Overthrust • 100% WI in 640 gross acres in Wyoming Early entry in low cost acreage in conventional/tight oil plays in proven oil fields

  15. 2.2 Large and growing acreage – on shore USA • 5 projects all in proven hydrocarbon basins in proximity to proven oil fields. • A targeted process of early entry in underexplored but highly prospective acreage in basins in Colorado, Montana, Wyoming and Utah, USA • Farm out completed with Treasure Exploration on Northern Star – free carry 2 wells + 2 optional 1. One lease in the Northern Star Project (2958 net acres) was issued with an 18 month lease with a 42 month extension with the extension dependent on a commitment to drill a 5000’ vertical well. The well commitment responsibility was absorbed by Treasure Exploration upon designation of Treasure Exploration as operator and the assignment of a 70% working interest in the Northern Star Project. 2. Acquisition to be completed after IPO. Early entry in low cost acreage in conventional/tight oil plays in proven oil fields

  16. 2.3 Significant reserve and resource potential • Significant reserve and resource potential focussed on higher margin oil vs gas. • 3P reserves 667mbbl and 3940mbbl oil resource potential associated with the Northern star project net to APOG as reviewed by MHA. • Primary targets are the Ratcliffe and Mission Canyon Formations with both formations currently producing from fields adjacent to the American Patriot acreage. • The Lustre field has produced 7mmbbl oil from 41 wells from the same formations and lies within the Northern Star project area. • APOG looking to target these proven reserves to establish early production and cash flow for the business. *Post farm out to Treasure, No reserve or resource potential with Southern Sun, Panther , Rough House or Overthrust project at this stage. mbbl: thousand barrels of oil.

  17. 2.4 Northern Star Project - Montana • 30% Working interest covering 36,714 gross acres (9,233 net APOG) located in the Western extent of the Williston basin, Valley County Montana. • Treasure Exploration is JV partner/Operator with 70% (farm down in Nov 2013) with APOG free carry on 2 horizontal exploration wells worth ≈$8m drilling late 2014/early 2015 plus options for 2 more wells. Looking to acquire additional acreage in the region • Located in a proven oil producing basin and recent nearby exploration success – Lustre Oil Field lies in project area and produced over 7mmbbl oil from Charles ‘C’ , Mission Canyon zone. • 3P reserves of 667mbbl and resource potential of 3940mbbl. • Lower permeability rocks – Mississippi Lime analogue mean horizontal drilling and modern completion can be used to target significant resource potential Source : APOG Key details on wells drilled nearby: Source : APOG Key area of focus with two wells planned (APOG Free carried) in the next 18 months

Vertical well costs are $1.2m • Low cost of entry and close to producers/infrastructure • Exploration: Acquisition/processing Seismic and farm down for free carry on well Source : APOG Significant acreage position with staked pay held at high retained interest

  20. 2.7 Southern Sun - Utah • 100% Working interest covering 3,728 gross acres (3,474 net APOG) in the Paradox Basin in San Juan county, Utah • Conventional and unconventional potential, targeting shales (Gothic) and carbonate reservoirs at 5500ft depth • Vertical drilling opportunities with potential to turn to horizontal oil plays, close to producers/ infrastructure. • Significant near term conventional production potential from the Tin Cup Mesa field covering 480 acres. Opportunity to expand this acreage position. • Acreage surrounded by Anadarko, Kimmeridge Energy and Hawkwood Energy. Anadarko permitted 5 and drilled 2 horizontal wells – close to APOG • Exploration: Seismic, acquire more acreage and farm down for free carry on well Source : APOG Key details on wells drilled nearby: Source : Company announcements Early entrant into an emerging play and looking to farm down for free carry

  21. 2.8 Geology – Northern Sun Northern Star Project • Two main targets are carbonate reservoirs of the Mississippian Madison Group • Project located on the western Extent of the Williston basin, an 80,000 square mile intercratonic basin which covers North & South Dakota and Montana in USA. • Charles ‘C’ limestone or “Ratcliffe formation” reservoirs. • Mission Canyon limestone reservoirs also have significant potential. • Reservoir targets exhibit low permeability and porosity such that traditional completion methods were not economic. However, with the tested high oil saturations present, and utilizing modern drilling and completion methods, such as horizontal drilling and multi-staged frac’ing we expect to make these zones economic and prolific. • Mississippi Lime analogue in terms of oil shows, porosity and tightness • Horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing can be used to target significant resource potential Target Zone
