OVERVIEW

The Company's primary objective is to maximize shareholder value from its principal asset at Cambay, located onshore Gujarat State in India.

To that end, Oilex continues to evaluate and implement a range of technical programme options to progress the main objective of accessing a multi-TCF gas resource present in siltstones in the EP-IV reservoir. North American unconventional drilling, completion and stimulation technologies have been applied by the Joint Venture over the last six years with positive but commercially modest results and now work is underway to optimise results for future work programmes. The current technical work programmes focus on:

-- Using core data to extract geological and engineering information needed to match advanced North American technologies with the local basin geology of the EP-IV, and

-- Two planned workovers of existing wells to ascertain production rates from the shallower OS-II reservoir in unswept areas in a parallel effort to develop the block at multiple levels.

If successful, this work should assist in finalising an application for extension to the Cambay PSC required to be submitted to the Government of India by September 2017.

During the quarter the Indian project office completed a move to lower cost premises as part of the Company's cost reduction initiatives.

HEALTH, SAFETY, SECURITY AND ENVIRONMENT

No lost time incidents recorded during the quarter.

CAMBAY FIELD, GUJARAT, INDIA

(Oilex: Operator and 45% interest)

Oilex participated in a formal tender process initiated by Gujarat State Petroleum Corporation Limited (GSPC), its Joint Venture partner, by submitting a conditional offer for a possible additional 55% interest in the Cambay PSC (Cambay). Oilex submitted the offer in response to a competitive bidding process initiated by GSPC for the possible disposal of its interest in Cambay. If successful in the tender process, Oilex may possibly increase its current 45% interest up to 100% of Cambay.

In addition to GSPC's agreement to any potential sale, Indian regulatory approvals will be required to effect the sale/transfer of GSPC's interest in Cambay. Oilex is the Operator and holds a pre-emptive right in respect of the possible sale of GSPC's interest in Cambay to a third party.

Reflecting the prospect of a new joint venture partner capable of funding its share of the Cambay Joint Venture, the Company has adjusted the short term work plan to progress the tight gas EP-IV project. Under a proposed revised study, Oilex will take advantage of a lower cost approach to access core samples required for EP-IV analysis. Oilex has secured suitable existing core material from Cambay-23z drilled in 2008. Previously this core was not regarded as representative of the EP-IV reservoir over the PSC as it contained a seven metre thick section of carbonaceous shale which was deposited in a restricted channel. The thin carbonaceous zone affected the seismic response and led to the conclusion that the core was not representative of the wider area. Following advice from expert consultants, the core is considered suitable for geomechanical, fluid matching and proppant embedment studies which are required for future optimising of drilling and stimulation design. As a consequence, the Company will initiate studies on Cambay-23z core prior to drilling a new well. In parallel, planning and procurement for a new well is continuing.

Planning has been completed for the workover of two existing wells to be carried out in the first half of 2017. The workovers are designed to test production flow rate potential from the OS-II reservoir in areas that remain unswept by earlier production. While the expectations are for modest flow rates, a successful outcome may support the application to extend the term of the PSC. The application must be submitted by September 2017.

The current PSC term expires on 23 September 2019. The Government of lndia formally approved its Policy for the Grant of Extension to Production Sharing Contracts including the Cambay PSC in March 2016. The Company intends to lodge a request for grant of extension to the Cambay PSC in accordance with this policy, which remains untested.

Approval from the regulator is being sought to continue to bring previous producing wells C-73 and C-77H back on line. Production was terminated in mid-2016 as the government approved period for test production had expired.

At the end of the quarter, total unpaid cash calls by GSPC were approximately US$6.7 million. During the quarter Oilex received gross US$27,025 from GSPC against outstanding cash calls for Cambay.

During the quarter the JV partner approved the Work Programme & Budget (WP&B) for the Cambay Field for FY 2016-17. The WP&B for FY 2017-18 has been tabled and is awaiting Joint Venture and regulatory approval.

Joint Venture Management

As at 31 December 2016, gross unpaid cash calls issued to GSPC and going back several years totalled approximately US$6.7 million. Oilex continues to engage with its Joint Venture partner to resolve the unpaid cash calls. Oilex as Operator, continues to bear the ongoing costs of the Joint Venture and has managed payment of the Cambay Joint Venture creditors.

BHANDUT FIELD, GUJARAT, INDIA

(Oilex: Operator and 40% interest)

Production from the Bhandut Field ceased on October 6, 2016. The well experienced increasing water cut, and following a review of the ongoing technical and economic parameters it was decided to shut in the well prior to it becoming non-commercial. Production for the five days in October averaged 193.5 mscfd, or 33.4 boepd (Oilex net 87.1 mscfd, or 15.0 boepd).

Oilex is Operator and holds a 40% equity in the Bhandut Field, with GSPC holding the remaining participating interest. Previous drilling in the Bhandut Field intersected a number of hydrocarbon zones, some of which have been produced and are now shut-in.

The field has ongoing exploration potential, coupled with existing production facilities. The Company is currently in discussion with a number of parties, seeking expressions of interest for a possible sale of its participating interest in the PSC.

WALLAL GRABEN, WESTERN AUSTRALIA (CANNING BASIN)

(Oilex: Operator and 100% interest)

The Wallal Graben asset is located adjacent to the Pilbara, a global resource centre for iron ore and LNG in Western Australia.

The Wallal Graben blocks are currently under application with the Department of Mines and Petroleum (DMP). They are frontier exploration blocks that represent a potential low cost entry to an underexplored area. Oilex continues to investigate low cost exploration techniques, de-risking tools and approaches that address the geological uncertainties in this basin and potentially provide an alternative lower cost work programme to the currently offered levels which were determined in a higher oil price environment.

Final award of the blocks requires signing of Heritage Agreements with the Nyangumarta and Njamal People and is linked to a request to the DMP that all three blocks be awarded simultaneously. Consultations on the Heritage Agreements are nearly complete following which the DMP will make an offer to grant a Petroleum Exploration Permit for each of the three blocks to Oilex for its final acceptance. Oilex can review its interest in pursuing these applications at any time.

JPDA 06-103, TIMOR SEA

(Oilex: Operator and 10% interest)

Oilex as operator, and on behalf of the JPDA 06-103 Joint Venture participants, continues to seek a resolution to the dispute with Autoridade Nacional do Petroleo e Minerais (ANPM) in relation to matters associated with the termination of JPDA 06-103 PSC. In July 2015, the ANPM rejected the Joint Venture request to terminate the PSC by mutual agreement in good standing and without penalty, and the ANPM sought to impose a penalty of approximately US$17 million upon the Joint Venture. The Joint Venture undertook significantly more exploration expenditure than required during the PSC term and believes the excess was not properly accounted for in accordance with the terms of the PSC.

The Joint Venture continues its discussions with the ANPM and remains hopeful an amicable settlement will be reached. If the parties are unable to reach an amicable settlement, any party may refer the matter to arbitration. If this occurs, the obligations and liabilities of the Joint Venture participants under the PSC are joint and several, with parent company guarantees provided by all Joint Venture participants. Oilex has a 10% participating interest in the Joint Venture and is the Operator.

WEST KAMPAR PSC, CENTRAL SUMATRA, INDONESIA

(Oilex: 45% interest and further 22.5% secured (1) )

A Court approved Scheme of Arrangement has been implemented over the Indonesian Operator, however, Oilex continues to pursue enforcement of the Arbitration Award and a commercial settlement.

At the end of 2016 the Indonesian Operator applied in the Indonesian courts for a debt payment obligation suspension. This was denied and the operating company, PT Sumatera Persada Energi was declared bankrupt. A creditors meeting was held in January 2017. Oilex has instructed its Indonesian based lawyers to submit a revised claim in the courts covering refund of monies provided by Oilex to the Operator, accrued interest, arbitration and legal costs and loss of profits. Oilex is also seeking confirmation from the Indonesian Government regulator that Oilex still retains its original 45% participating interest in the PSC.

CORPORATE

At the end of the quarter Oilex retained cash resources of $1.886 million.

Litigation Insurance Claim

During the December Quarter, the Company settled its claim with the Company's insurers to recover part of the costs associated with the Zeta Litigation. Proceeds from the settlement are to be applied to reduce creditors associated with the litigation.

Cost Reduction Initiatives

Late in September 2016 quarter, the Company announced the implementation of additional material cost reduction initiatives reflecting the proposed activity level for 2017 and the requirement to direct cash resources to the planned activity programme at Cambay.

The cost reductions, undertaken in both Perth and India, included a 30% overall reduction in the number of personnel and a 14% average reduction in salaries and wages for existing personnel.

During the December 2016 quarter, the Company incurred $464,000 in one off redundancy and entitlement costs related to the cost reduction initiative.

Updated Constitution

At the 23 November 2016 Annual General Meeting, shareholders approved the adoption of an updated Constitution.
