Assumptions
The five year outlook set out in this presentation is not guidance. The outlook is uncertain and subject to change. The outlook has been estimated on the basis of the following assumptions: 1. a US$62.50/bbl Brent oil price in FY20 and a US$70/bbl Brent oil price from FY21; 2. 0.70 AUD/USD exchange rate in FY20 and 0.75 AUD/USD exchange rate from FY21;
3. various other economic and corporate assumptions; 4. assumptions regarding drilling results; and 5. expected future development, appraisal and exploration projects being delivered in accordance with their current expected project schedules.
FY20 guidance is uncertain and subject to change. FY20 guidance has been estimated on the basis of the following assumptions: 1. a US$62.50/bbl Brent oil price; 2. 0.70 AUD/USD exchange rate; 3. various other economic and corporate assumptions; 4. assumptions regarding drilling results; and 5. expected future development, appraisal and exploration projects being delivered in accordance with their current expected project schedules.
These future development, appraisal and exploration projects are subject to approvals such as government approvals, joint venture approvals and board approvals. Beach expresses no view as to whether all required approvals will be obtained in accordance with current project schedules.
Reserves disclosure
Beach prepares its petroleum reserves and contingent resources estimates in accordance with the Petroleum Resources Management System (PRMS) published by the Society of Petroleum Engineers.

Conversion factors used to evaluate oil equivalent quantities are sales gas and ethane: 5.816 TJ per kboe, LPG: 1.398 bbl
per boe, condensate: 1.069 bbl per boe and oil: 1 bbl per boe. The reference point for reserves determination is the custody transfer point for the products. Reserves are stated net of fuel, flare & vent and third party royalties.

- AEMO forecasts project Southeastern Australia gas production to be insufficient to meet demand
- Supply shortfall has been met by gas from Queensland, primarily from LNG projects diverting gas
- In the absence of material new gas supplies, AEMO forecasts the southern demand/supply gap to widen, increasing reliance on LNG
- ACCC reported2that Victorian and South Australian producers have agreed prices ranging from $8.92 - 10.97/GJfor gas supply in 2020

Appraisal strategy
Record production, drilling
activity planned in FY20
- Record Western Flank oil and gas production of 7.1 MMboe, +16% vs FY18
- Western Flank oil and gas had total 2P reserves revision of 22 MMboe (309% reserves replacement ratio)
- Western Flank 2P reserves life increased from 7.0 years to 8.2 years
- Six operated horizontal wells drilled in FY19
- Drilling results (time, cost, net pay, initial production rates) improvement vs FY18
- Productivity of horizontal wells has averaged 8x higher than similar vertical wells
- Discovered eastern extension to the Bauer oil field, further appraisal planned
- Appraisal at Hanson oil field and Lowry gas field also delineated field extensions
- Targeting > 20,000 bopd production rate from operated permits (ex PEL 91,92)
- Targeting 84 wells in Western Flank in FY20, up from 42 in FY19 and 26 in FY18
- Investment in surface infrastructure to handle higher fluid volumes, more wells
202P reserves replacement ratio calculated as Western Flank 2P reserves additions divided by FY19 reported Western Flank production. 2P reserves life calculated Western Flanks 2P reserves, divided by FY19 Western Flank production.
Western Flank Oil
Successful year of appraisal and development
FY19 Highlights:
- 10% increase in production on FY18, 2P reserves now 42MMbbl, +7 MMbbl over FY18
- Increased drilling activities. 34 Western Flank oil wells drilled, +127% over FY18, at a higher success rate
- Included eight horizontal wells; six operated
- Successful oil appraisal programs in Bauer and Hanson fields, field limits increased vs prior 2P reserves mapping

Success of the Bauer appraisal strategy
- Flat structural relief means seismic is of limited value in defining field extent
- In FY19 Beach appraised "through the drill bit"
- Fourstep-out appraisal wells in Bauer discovered an easterly extension to the field
- Further appraisal is required at Bauer to define the field structure, remaining oil potential and full field development
- In FY20 Beach plans on drilling 8 appraisal wells at Bauer and 15 development wells, including 7 horizontal wells
22
Western Flank Oil
Accelerated investment strategy in place to unlock remaining potential
FY20 activity - record investment year for Western Flank oil
- ~$200 million to be invested in Western Flank oil, a record for Beach
- Up to 77 oil wells to be drilled in FY20, including:
- 36 exploration and appraisal wells
- 41 development wells (including up to 17 horizontal wells)
- ~15% of FY20 growth investment for infrastructure expansion and debottlenecking to unlock Western Flank potential
- Continued roll out of the Bauer appraisal strategy across fields including Parsons and Callawonga, as well asfollow-up appraisal drilling at Bauer, Hanson and Kalladeina-Congony complex

FY19 Highlights:
✓35% increase in production on FY18, 2P reserves now 16MMboe, +8 MMboe over FY18
✓Successful gas exploration/appraisal programs in Lowry and Udacha South fields extended field limits vs prior 2P reserves mapping
✓Lowry field is a high liquids content gas field (50 bbl/mmscf)
FY20 Focus:
•Potential further appraisal drilling at Lowry and Middleton
•Drill 3-5 prospects delineated by Spondylus 3D seismic survey to extend proven stratigraphic play and test new exploration plays
•Aim is to increase reserves to extend plateau at Middleton and/or expand capacity

FY20 activities
- Ten drilling opportunities (eight development) planned in the next 3 years to keep the Otway Gas Plant (OGP) full.
- Development wells plus one exploration success at either Enterprise or Artisan should provide sufficient deliverability to keep plant full until FY26
- Black Watch and Enterprise Extended Reach Directional (ERD) wells to be drilled frommid-FY20
- Black Watch connection will add deliverability from H2 FY20
- Offshore program starts withArtisan-1 exploration well around mid-FY20
- La Bella provides optionality. Development timing can be optimised depending on exploration drilling results
- 30 day statutory shutdown scheduled for March 2020
