Petroleum exploration relies on the interpretation of complex and uncertain data and information which cannot be relied upon to lead to a successful outcome in any particular case. Petroleum exploration is inherently uncertain and involves significant risk of failure. All information regarding Prospective resource estimates and other information in relation to Karoon's assets is given in the light of this caution.

This presentation may contain certain 'forwardlooking statements' with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and business of Karoon and certain plans and objectives of the management of Karoon. Forward looking statements can generally be identified by words such as 'may', 'could', 'believes', 'plan', 'will', 'likely', 'estimates', 'targets', 'expects', or 'intends' and other similar words that involve risks and uncertainties, which may include, but are not limited to, the outcome and effects of the subject matter of this presentation. Indications of, and guidance on, future exchange rates, capital expenditure, earnings and financial position and performance are also forwardlooking statements.

You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward looking statements as actual outcomes may differ materially from forward looking statements. Any forwardlooking statements, opinions and estimates provided in this presentation necessarily involve uncertainties, assumptions, contingencies and other factors, and unknown risks may arise, many of which are outside the control of Karoon.

Resources Summary

The contingent and prospective resource volume estimates presented in the tables below were assessed by Karoon's Engineering Manager, Mr Lino Barro, and are based on seismic survey data, geological and engineering well data and other regional geological and engineering information. They were prepared on a probabilistic statistical aggregation basis in accordance with the Petroleum Resources Management System approved by the Society of Petroleum Engineers, the World Petroleum Council, the American Association of Petroleum Geologists and the Society of Petroleum Evaluation Engineers.

The contingent and prospective resource volume estimates presented were disclosed in the 8 May 2018 ASX announcement Resources Update'. Karoon is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects these resource estimates and all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates in the relevant ASX announcement continue to apply and have not materially changed.

Prospective Resources Cautionary Statement:

The estimated quantities of petroleum that may potentially be recovered by the application of a future development project relate to undiscovered accumulations. These estimates have both an associated risk of discovery and a risk of development. Further exploration, appraisal and evaluation is required to determine the existence of a significant quantity of potentially moveable hydrocarbons. There is no certainty that any portion of the prospective resource estimated on behalf of Karoon will be discovered. If discovered, there is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the prospective resources evaluated.

Transformational Acquisition

The Baúna acquisition will produce stable cashflows over the medium to long-term, enabling Karoon to pursue further investment opportunities

Current field production of circa 20,000 bopd1

Target production growth has the potential to deliver circa 33,000 bopd2 during CY 2022

2P reserves of 52.5 MMbbls and 2C resources of 18.8 MMbbls independently assessed by AGR3

Estimated life of project operating cost production of 33° API oil of US$18.50/bbl, produced oil from Baúna expected to be sold at a benchmark to Brent

Located nearby and synergistic to Karoon's oil discoveries Neon and Goiá which have total Contingent Resources of 82 million bbls4

Effective utilisation of Karoon's existing technical personnel with strong development

and production experience

  1. Petrobras announcement, dated 24 July 2019;
  2. Following well-workovers to replace/install pumps and the drilling and tie-in of the existing undeveloped Patola oil discovery;
  3. Independently calculated by AGR Petroleum Services as per Karoon's ASX announcement, dated 29 August 2019.
