PRESS RELEASE

Rex's subsidiary starts production at Yumna 3 well in Block 50 Oman

SINGAPORE, 22 February 2021 - Rex International Holding Limited ("Rex International Holding",

"Rex" or the "Company", and together with its subsidiaries, the "Group"), a technology-driven oil

company, is pleased to refer to the press release issued on 22 February 2021 by its 86.37 per cent subsidiary, Masirah Oil Ltd, which had announced the following:

"Muscat, 22 February 2021: Masirah Oil Limited ("Masirah Oil") is pleased to announce that production has commenced from the third development well drilled in the Yumna Field. The well was spudded on 20 January 2021 and production commenced on 18 February 2021. The well has been tested at a rate of 12,984 stb/d of oil on natural flow through an 80/64" choke.

Yumna 3 encountered hydrocarbons in 10.4 metres of Lower Aruma sandstone with a very good porosity of 23.4 per cent, proving that the good quality reservoir sand is extensive to the South East of Yumna 1, with exceptional permeability of about 2,000 md. The reservoir pressure depletion over the first year of production is around 100 psi, confirming that excellent pressure support is provided by a strong aquifer.

The Shelf Drilling Tenacious jack-up rig has been moved from the Yumna Field to the Zakhera exploration well location which is about 12 km to the south of the Yumna Field."

Mr Dan Broström, Executive Chairman of Rex, said, "We are very pleased with the Yumna 3 well initial results. The next step is to put all three production wells (Yumna 1, Yumna 2 and Yumna 3) on production simultaneously. For this reason, the processing capacity on the Yumna Mobile Offshore Production Unit (MOPU) is being upgraded to handle up to 30,000 bpd. We expect the upgrade to be completed in March 2021. The operating costs for the field are estimated at USD 80,000 per day, which with higher production levels, will translate into lower production cost per barrel.

MOL holds a 100 per cent interest in Block 50 Oman and is the operator.

stb/d: stock tank barrels per day md: millidarcy, measure of permeability, with units of area psi: pound-force per square inch; a unit of pressure bpd: barrels per day --- END ---
