Cambay77H Well 9 5/8 inch casing set and cemented

8 April 2014

· 9 5/8 inch casing set and cemented on 08 April 2014

· Currently preparing to drill ahead in 8 ½ inch hole

The rig is currently preparing to drill ahead in 8 ½ inch hole into the target reservoir section (see attached figures). Elevated gas readings are anticipated through the target formation to Total Depth (TD).

Cambay-77H is located adjacent to the Cambay-76H horizontal well that underwent a successful multiple staged fracture stimulation programme along its 633m lateral section in 2012. However, it was suspended prior to testing due to downhole mechanical problems. Prior to suspending the well, gas and condensate flowed to surface during well control operations.

The Cambay-77H well design incorporates all of the key operational and technical learnings that have arisen from a forensic engineering analysis of Cambay-76H by multiple expert parties. A shorter horizontal lateral section (350m) coupled with a conventional "plug and perf" method for fracture stimulation is expected to facilitate the primary goal of the well - recording hydrocarbon flow information at surface during a production test.

As previously disclosed, Oilex intends to inform the market about progress during drilling operations on a milestone basis as indicated below.

ü Setting and cementing of the 13 3/8 inch casing at approximately 590mMD

ü Setting and cementing of the 9 5/8 inch casing at approximately 1,650mMD

· Completion of drilling operations at well TD, approximately 2,357mMD

· Setting and cementing of the 4 1/2 inch production casing

· Completion of mobilisation of the fracture stimulation spread to site

· Completion of the fracture stimulation programme

· An announcement in relation to flow back and production testing will be dictated by the well response to the stimulation programme

A time gap between setting and cementing the 4 1/2 inch production casing and completion of mobilisation of the fracture stimulation spread is anticipated in order to minimise potential standby charges associated with demobilisation of the drill rig from site.

Managing Director of Oilex, Ron Miller, said;

"Although drilling operations have been delayed due to a substantial system failure on Essar Land Rig #4, the 12 1/4 inch hole above the reservoir is now complete and secure behind casing. The successful integrated stress test of the rig systems is reassuring and we now look forward to entering the target reservoir as part of the final hole section including the 350m horizontal length which will be fracture stimulated."
