Schlumberger Ltd (SLB) - Financial and Strategic SWOT Analysis Review
Report Code: GDGE207FSA
Published: March 2020

Schlumberger Ltd - Company Statement

A statement by Mr. Paal Kibsgaard the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Schlumberger Ltd is given below. The statement has been
taken from the company’s 2019 Annual Report.

As we close out a very productive year and head into 2020 with resolve, I want to thank you, our shareholders, for your continued support. I
would also like to personally thank each Schlumberger employee and contractor for their commitment to the company. Of course, our success
hinges on the continued trust of our customers, whom we also thank.

The energy industry is changing, and our vision is to define and drive high performance sustainably. Simply put, our ambition is to be the
performance partner of choice for our customers and the industry. We believe that by focusing on performance, we can help usher in a new
era for the energy industry, improving our results while addressing our shareholders’ and other stakeholders’ environmental, social, and
governance concerns.

Energy demand fundamentals remain favorable for the oil and gas sector. The International Energy Agency (IEA) predicts that the exploration
and production (E&P) industry will continue to contribute about 55% of the energy mix through 2030, though markets are becoming more
regionalized and volatile.

Oil demand growth slowed in 2019 in response to tariff disputes and their impact on trade while the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting
Countries (OPEC) worked to mitigate oversupply at the global level. At the same time, US production overwhelmed global demand due to
elevated drilling and completions activity during the first half of the year. Budget discipline caused a sharp reduction in activity during the
second half of 2019, resulting in an annual contraction of North America spending. In contrast, international upstream investment grew for a
second consecutive year, particularly offshore. This trend is expected to continue.

Against this backdrop, Schlumberger full-year 2019 revenue of $32.9 billion was essentially flat with 2018. International revenue, however,
grew in the high single digits as we had anticipated.

Indeed, our performance also reflects new technology sales that represented 26% of total sales—the highest since 2014—and demonstrates
how our new technology portfolio delivers a quantifiable performance impact for our customers. During 2019, we commercialized several
new technologies, such as the GAIA digital subsurface platform for rapid access to basin-scale data and management of exploration
opportunities, the Ora intelligent wireline formation testing platform for dynamic reservoir characterization, and the NeoSteer at-bit steerable
system, a fit-for-basin technology for drilling horizontal wells in a single run.

Throughout the year, I had the privilege of participating in many customer meetings and industry events across our GeoMarkets. Our
customers have reacted very positively to our vision and the elements of the strategy that we shared with them. And, as a leader in the digital
transformation of the industry, perhaps our most significant customer event of the year was our Software Integrated Solutions (SIS) global
digital forum, the SIS Global Forum 2019, which took place in Monaco in September with more than 700 customers in attendance.

During the Forum we announced the open sourcing of the DELFI cognitive E&P environment and its contribution to The Open Group Open
Subsurface Data Universe™ (OSDU) organization. Contributing elements of our core technology provides a foundation to unleash the power of
open digital innovation for the benefit of upstream oil and gas industry performance. The Forum’s theme was “The Future is Open,” and the
feedback from customers and partners was unanimous—we have opened a new digital chapter for the industry. The digital era will enable
new levels of efficiency and sustainable outcomes for our customers and for Schlumberger.

To make the leap in performance that our customers need to deliver energy in today’s competitive environment, we are developing and
deploying digital solutions—focused on generating richer data and deeper insights—to achieve performance not previously possible across
the E&P industry. We are also accelerating the commercialization of new digital solutions built in the DELFI environment— spanning
exploration, development, and production from office to field operations—each of which leverages the scalability and cognitive features of
the DELFI environment.

We also formed the Sensia joint venture with Rockwell Automation, creating the most integrated provider of measurement solutions,
production domain expertise, and automation to the oil and gas industry. Sensia will play an important role in the digital transformation of
our industry and create value for our customers through its comprehensive solution that can forecast, track, report, and resolve hydrocarbon
production and transportation challenges.

Our technology platform and modernized operating system form the foundation that will enable our vision. Building on this, in the third
quarter we embarked on a new corporate strategy for long-term outperformance— a strategy that will define the Schlumberger of tomorrow.

Schlumberger Ltd (SLB) - Financial and Strategic SWOT Analysis Review
Report Code: GDGE207FSA
Published: March 2020

Customer performance is positioned at the center of our strategy, which consists of three key themes: Strengthen the Core, Expand the Go-
to-Market, and Next Horizons of Growth. This year we launched 4 of 10 key elements of our strategy, including leading and driving digital
transformation, developing fit-for-basin solutions, capturing value from the performance impact for our customers, and fostering capital
stewardship.

We have generated a great deal of enthusiasm in response to our corporate strategy, the first element of which is People First—because
without the commitment and engagement of our highly skilled and diverse workforce, we would not be able to achieve our vision.

Central to our ability to drive high performance is, first and foremost, keeping our people safe. We improved our safety performance in 2019,
decreasing our industryrecognized figures for the rate of auto accidents per million miles and combined lost-time injury frequency. This was
our best year on record in terms of safety performance and sets a new benchmark for the industry as we extend our leadership and partner
with more of our customers to share best practices.

An integral part of our vision is our responsibility to our stakeholders, the environment, and the communities where we live and work. We
took a major step on our stewardship 4 journey in December, when we became the first company in upstream E&P services to commit to
setting a science-based target in line with the expectations of the Science Based Targets initiative to reduce our greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions and drive measurable progress related to climate change. This step reinforces our commitment to leverage our talented people,
including our extensive scientific community, in building a future where high performance supports a more resilient and sustainable
industry—a better, cleaner, safer industry.

Before closing, I want to share with you our company’s purpose as we move forward:

“Together we create amazing technology that unlocks access to energy for the benefit of all.”

This purpose is timeless and enduring. It will drive us through the decades to come, whatever challenges they bring. I look forward to guiding
the people of Schlumberger as we embrace this new chapter, align around our vision and purpose, and strive to live our values through our
behaviors every day.

Since stepping into the role of chief executive officer, I have been striving to make clear that the Schlumberger of the future will balance
shareholder returns, capital discipline, and customer focus with investment in our people and technology. We intend to be leaders of the
energy transition, and our ability to improve our margins, cash flow, and returns is crucial to this ambition.

I want to close by emphasizing the “we” of that commitment. I am only one of Schlumberger’s 105,000 employees. It is my job to continue
Schlumberger’s ability to attract the best global talent. To be a great technology and operations company, we must also be a great “people”
company. For this reason, I cannot close my first letter to shareholders without, once again, saying thank you to each of you who makes these
things possible.

As a company, Schlumberger is at the center of the issues on which the world’s future depends. And while that responsibility is great, so are
our opportunities.

Schlumberger Ltd (SLB) - Financial and Strategic SWOT Analysis Review
Report Code: GDGE207FSA
Published: March 2020

Schlumberger Ltd - Weaknesses


Weakness - Declining Cash Reserves

The company reported a decrease in its cash reserves, which shows that it is not in a position to pay off its current liabilities. Its cash and cash
equivalents amounted to US$2,167 million in FY2019, which shows a decrease of 22% over US$ 2,777 million in FY2018. The decrease in the
cash component was due to US$5,431 million cash generated from operating activity in FY2019, as compared to US$5,713 million cash
generated from operating activity in FY2018. In FY2019, the company invested US$2,011 million cash as compared to US$1,040 million in
FY2018. The cash ratio stood at 0.16 in FY2019 compared to 0.21 in FY2018. The percentage of cash component to current assets was 14% in
FY2019 as against 17.7% in FY2018.

Weakness - Cost Inefficiency

The company reported a decline in its cost efficiency in FY2019, which affected its operational performance. In the FY2019, Schlumberger
reported an increase in its operating costs as a percentage of sales, which increased to 130% from 90.8% in FY2018. As a result, it reported
negative operating margin of 30% in FY2019 from operating margin of 9.2% in FY2018. Due to increase in operating costs, the company
reported operating loss of US$9,890 million in FY2019 from US$3,011 million in FY2018.

Schlumberger Ltd (SLB) - Financial and Strategic SWOT Analysis Review
Report Code: GDGE207FSA
Published: March 2020

Schlumberger Ltd - Opportunities


Opportunity - New Contracts and Agreement

The company entered into several contracts and agreements which would enable it to generate substantial amount of revenue in the future.
In January 2020, the company secured a contract from Equinor for the front-end engineering design (FEED) on its Bacalhau project offshore
Brazil. The contract scope brings together field development planning, project delivery and total life cycle solutions under an extensive
technology and services portfolio. In December 2019, the company was awarded with supply of an integrated subsea production and
multiphase boosting system for the Anchor field in the US Gulf of Mexico from Chevron.

Opportunity - Increasing Upstream Investments

The company could benefit from the increasing investments in the upstream sector of oil and gas industry. According to the World Oil Outlook
2019 (WOO2019), the investments in the global oil upstream operations are estimated at US$8.1 trillion during 2019–2040. The share of
investments by OECD countries will be around 72% in the medium-term (2019-2024). This is due to the substantial contribution of barrels of
oil, especially in the medium-term, besides the higher average costs of upstream development. This would decrease to an average of 56% in
the latter years. OPEC’s share of implied annual investment requirement will be around 9% in 2019–2024, which will increase to 19% in the
longer-term with increase in demand for OPEC crude. In OECD, the large share is due to North America’s significant contribution to add
barrels from US tight oil and Canadian oil sands.

Opportunity - Growth Initiatives

Schlumberger focuses on strengthen its operation through numerous initiatives. In February 2020, the company opened a manufacturing
center in King Salman Energy Park (SPARK) in Saudi Arabia. It will manufacture well completions technologies including liner hangers and
packers and isolation valve technologies to help improve the efficiency of oil and gas operations in Saudi Arabia. In December 2019, the
company and Dataiku Technology entered into an exclusive technology partnership to build and deploy AI solutions across the full breadth of
their upstream workflows. This partnership will combine existing Schlumberger digital tools and solutions with AI technology from Dataiku.

Opportunity - Implementation of Machine Learning

The oil and gas industry's adoption of cloud computing, machine learning and augmented reality has improved in last few years. The company
can reduce cost and improve process movement through implementation of algorithms in onshore rigs. The adaptation of digitalization in
supply chain can improve company’s efficiency. With usages of cloud computing, sensors, and machine learning, drillers can gain real-time
understanding of geology, ressure gradients, molecular content and other pertinent data. Currently, service companies are investing in R&D
to drive returns across the industry.

Schlumberger Ltd (SLB) - Financial and Strategic SWOT Analysis Review
Report Code: GDGE207FSA
Published: March 2020

Schlumberger Ltd - Threats


Threat - Intense Competition

Schlumberger operates in a highly competitive oilfield service industry. It offers equipment and services to the oil and gas exploration and
production activity, and faces competition from various other companies that operate in the same domain. Some of the major competitive
factors include technological innovation, quality of service and price differentiation. Its major competitors include Halliburton Co, National
Oilwell Varco Inc and Weatherford International Ltd. The company also faces competition from several regional suppliers who offer limited
equipment and services, which are made for the local markets.

Threat - Stringent Regulations

Schlumberger is required to operate under stringent regulations at the federal, state and local levels. Products and services, which do not
comply with legislation outlined by regulatory bodies may face a delay in reaching its customers. Furthermore, non-compliance with
legislation may lead to penalties and legal proceedings, which may damage the company’s image. The company is subject to complex US and
foreign laws and regulations such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), the U.K. Bribery Act and various other anti-bribery and anti-
corruption laws. It is also subject to trade control regulations and trade sanctions laws that restrict the movement of certain goods to, and
certain operations in various countries. Any determination that the company has violated or is responsible for violations of anti-bribery, trade
control, trade sanctions or anti-corruption laws could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition. Violations of international and
US laws and regulations or the loss of any required licenses may result in fines and penalties, criminal sanctions, administrative remedies and
restrictions on business conduct.

Threat - Fluctuations in Oil Prices

The expenditure on drilling by Schlumberger’s customers depends on oil prices. Such fluctuations could affect the company’s business,
operating results and financial condition. Oil prices are dependent on factors beyond the company’s control, including the supply of and
demand for oil; weather conditions; and political conditions, among others. According to EIA’s Short Term Energy Outlook January 2020, Brent
crude oil spot prices averaged US$67 per barrel (bbl) in December 2019, up US$10/bbl from December 2018. Brent spot prices are forecast to
average US$65/bbl in 2020 and US$68/bbl in 2021. In the first half of 2020, EIA expects that global oil prices will be affected by downward
pressures owing to relatively weak oil market balances and by the upward price pressure of geopolitical risks. West Texas Intermediate (WTI)
crude oil prices are forecast to average about US$5.5/bbl less than Brent prices in 2020 and 2021. According to EIA, Henry Hub natural gas
spot price averaged US$2.57/million British thermal units (MMBtu) in 2019, down US$0.59/MMBtu from the average price in 2018. The
agency expects Henry Hub natural gas spot prices to average US$2.33/MMBtu in 2020 and US$2.54/MMBtu in 2021. EIA expects upward price
pressure to occur in 2021 as a result of falling natural gas production that stems from the low prices forecast in 2020. EIA expects that the
falling demand for natural gas will limit the increase in prices.

Section 5 – Company’s Recent Developments


Mar 02, 2020: PSA: Equinor – Gullfaks A – fully integrated drilling activities
Petroleum Safety Authority (PSA) has carried out an audit of Equinor Energy (Equinor), Archer and Schlumberger’s safeguarding of the
planning and execution of drilling and well operations using fully integrated drilling contracts on the Gullfaks A facility.
Background

In the winter of 2019, we held a series of meetings with drilling contractors and drilling and well service companies which had been awarded
fully integrated contracts for Equinor's fixed facilities.

We wanted to find out about the status and the experiences to date of the companies involved in the new fully integrated contracts for the
Gullfaks A facility.

Objective

The objective of the audit was to examine how Equinor, Archer and Schlumberger are managing major accident and working environment risk
under the changed framework conditions in contracts for fixed facilities.

Result

Four regulatory non-conformities were identified. These concerned:

Management of health, safety and the environment

Roles and responsibilities

Work arrangements

Information and communication

In addition, one condition categorised as an improvement point was observed. This concerned:

Extra screen in room behind driller's cabin

What happens now

We have asked Equinor to report on how the non-conformities will be addressed. We have also asked for an assessment of the improvement
point observed.

The deadline for replying is set at 9 March 2020.

Feb 25, 2020: ADNOC to Build on its Position as one of Least Carbon-Intensive Oil and Gas
Producers in World
ADNOC is building on its position as one of the least carbon-intensive oil and gas producers in the world by significantly expanding its CCUS
program, according to His Excellency Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, UAE Minister of State and Group CEO of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company
(ADNOC).
Speaking at the panel session titled ‘Thought-Leaders in Oil and Gas,' at the International Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (ICCUS)
conference in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, H.E. Dr. Al Jaber reinforced ADNOC's commitment to responsible oil and gas production as the
company delivers its 2030 strategy, noting that the company is on track to expand CCUS capacity at least fivefold by 2030 as part of its holistic
sustainability goals.

Commenting alongside Amin H. Nasser, CEO of Saudi Aramco, Olivier Le Peuch, CEO of Schlumberger and Ovais Sarmad, Deputy Executive
Secretary of UNFCCC, H.E. Dr. Al Jaber explained how CCUS is enabling ADNOC to significantly lower its greenhouse gas (GHG) intensity and
maintain its best-in-class sustainability and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance.

H.E. Dr. Al Jaber said: "ADNOC's CCUS program reinforces our position as the least-carbon intensive oil and gas producer in the world. It is also
an important enabler of our holistic 2030 sustainability goals, specifically our target to reduce greenhouse gas intensity by 25 percent.

"As we drive our CCUS targets, we are focusing on innovative and cost-effective solutions that make economic sense. And we are building on
the foundation set by the Founding Father of the UAE, His Highness Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, to help ensure ADNOC remains best-
in-class in sustainability and ESG performance.

ADNOC's CCUS program is also enabling the company to maximize value from its hydrocarbon reserves through enhanced oil recovering
(EOR), liberating the cleaner-burning natural gas to cater for growing demand, H.E. Dr. Al Jaber said.

Currently, ADNOC's Al Reyadah facility in the emirate of Abu Dhabi has the capacity to capture 800,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2)
annually. ADNOC plans to expand the capacity of this program by over 500 percent capturing CO2 from its own gas plants, with the aim of
reaching 5 million tonnes of CO2 every year by 2030 – the equivalent of the annual carbon capture capacity of over 5 million acres of forest or
forest over twice the size of the UAE.

Detailing how ADNOC plans to achieve its CCUS targets, H.E. Dr. Al Jaber highlighted that ADNOC's Shah gas plant has the potential to enable
2.4 million tonnes of CO2 to be captured while its Habshan and Bab plant could enable the capture of almost 2 million tonnes of CO2.

H.E. Dr. Al Jaber also noted that ADNOC's CCUS expansion is an integral part of its recently announced broader sustainability goals that will
help ensure the company produces more energy with less environmental impact.

ADNOC's 2030 sustainability goals include a commitment to reduce GHG intensity by 25 percenta limit on freshwater use to below 0.5 percent
of our total water usea commitment to ensure female representation on the board of each of its operating companies by 2022a commitment
to plant 10 million mangrove seedlings in Al Dhafra Region in the emirate of Abu Dhabi by the end of 2022a commitment to achieve In-
Country Value (ICV) of 50 percent across its full value chain by 2030 and a 100 percent commitment to HSE and asset integrity.

The two-day ICCUS conference has convened global energy leaders and policymakers to discuss the role of CCUS in enabling a circular carbon
economy. Others taking part in the forum included H.E. Suhail Al Mazrouie, Minister of Energy and Industry, UAEH.R.H. Abdulaziz bin Salman
bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Minister of Energy of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and H.E. Mohammad Barkindo, Secretary-General of the
Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), among other global energy leaders, policymakers and scientists.

Feb 19, 2020: Gazpromneft-Noyarbrskneftegazgeophysica doubles its delivery of high-tech


services in 2019
Gazpromneft-Noyabrskneftegazgeophysica — the Gazprom Neft geophysical investigations subsidiary, operated by Gazpromneft-Nefteservis
— has more than doubled its delivery of high-tech services year-on-year, performing more than 360 high-tech operations in the preceding 12
months alone.
A record-breaking volume of work involving "Pump Down Plug&Perftechnology has been undertaken for Russian companies at the
Gazpromneft-Khantos' Priobskoye field.

Gazpromneft-Noyabrskneftegazgeophysica is expanding its use of this patented proprietary technology – involving the downhole delivery of
geophysical equipment using a fibreglass rod – in geophysical investigations. Using this rod makes it possible to reach significant depths in
delivering devices to well bedrock thanks to the lightness, elasticity and low friction-coefficient of fibreglass, as well as its' resistance to harsh
environments. This technology has been used successfully throughout Gazpromneft-Noyabrskneftegaz fields in 2019.

Using fibre-optic systems at the Novoportovskoye field is making it possible to monitor temperatures along the entire length of the well,
online, for the first time. Using this technology specialists are able to monitor changes in downhole processes quickly, and put solutions for
optimising well operation regimes in place as soon as possible.

In addition to this, Gazpromneft-Noyabrskneftegazgeophysica has become the first company in Russia to undertake a range of downhole
logging tests at horizontal wells on the Russian Arctic Shelf.

A technological partnership agreement was signed with Schlumberger in March 2019. The core objective of this is to combine Schlumberger's
technological capacities and potential with Gazprom Neft research centres' knowledge and know-how and Gazpromneft-
Noyabrskneftegazgeophysica's resources in order that the latest research technologies can be successfully deployed throughout the latter.

Pro-active implementation of Gazpromneft-Noyabrskneftegazgeophysica's development strategy will continue throughout 2020. The
company plans to increase the volume of "smartservices offered, expand field investigation programmes on the Russian Arctic Shelf, and
move into new regions where Gazprom Neft production assets are gaining an increasing presence. Gazpromneft-Noyabrskneftegazgeophysica
will be acquiring further competencies in working with hard-to-recover reserves, as well as continuing its collaboration with the Upstream
Division and its various production subsidiaries, including through the "Assets of the Futureproject and the company's Science and Technology
Centre – the company's overriding objective here being to become one of the top-five most important geophysical research companies in
Russia.

"The quality of geophysical data, and the speed at which it is acquired, play an important role in improving efficiency in production processes.
High-quality geophysical information in well construction gives an indication of a reservoir's production potential, reduces the risk of
ineffective investment, and allows you to make the right managerial decisions. Investigative data research into production and injection well
stock helps solve the problem of managing development effectively, and of bringing as many reserves as possible throughout the company's
license blocks into production. Speeding up the commissioning of new wells, and adjusting working modes in already operating wells, as fast
as possible – all of this will come about as a result of our implementing new high-tech ways of working in obtaining and interpreting
geophysical information.

Salt Dome Projects

South Marsh Island 73 Salt Dome

The SM73 field encompasses nine OCS lease blocks (81 square miles) which overlie a large piercement salt dome. The salt dome is responsible
for providing the trapping mechanism for production in all portions of the SM73 field. The SM73 field is productive from discrete
hydrocarbon-bearing sandstone reservoirs which are primarily trapped in three-way structural closures bound either by salt or stratigraphic
thinning, on their updip edge. These reservoirs are Pleistocene to Pliocene age sands ranging in depth from 5,000 feet to 8,800 feet Total
Vertical Depth.

The majority of the field production has come from depths less than 7,500 feet in high quality sandstone reservoirs. Byron is the operator and
100% working interest holder in 5 areas of interest around the SM73 field, comprising SM57/58/59/60/70 and north east portion of SM69, as
shown below. Byron is also the operator of SM71 and SM74, where it has less than a 100% working interest.

South Marsh Island 71

Byron owns the South Marsh Island block 71 ("SM71) a lease in the South Marsh Island Block 73 ("SM73) field. Byron is the designated
operator of SM71 and owns a 50% Working Interest ("WI) and a 40.625% Net Revenue Interest ("NRI) in the block, with Otto Energy Limited
("Otto) group holding an equivalent WI and NRI in the block. Water depth in the area is approximately 137 feet.

Oil and gas production from the Byron operated SM71 F platform began on 23 March 2018 from three wells.

SM 71 ProductionThe F1 and F3 wells are producing in the primary D5 Sand reservoir and the F2 well is producing from the B55Sand, a
secondary exploration target.As of 23 January 2020, the SM71 F facility has produced over 2.0 million barrels of oil (gross) since initial
production began. The facility has also produced over 2.8 billion cubic feet of gas (gross) which, on a revenue basis, is approximately
equivalent to an additional 100,000 barrels of oil.

Current ProductionAs of 31 December 2019, the SM71 platform gross production rate was approximately 3,000 barrels of oil per dayand 3.0
million cubic feet of gas per day and no water from any of the wells.

Oil production for the December 2019 quarter was below the volumes achieved for the September quarter due to partial shut-in of SM71
wells to facilitate the SM71F platform compressor upgrade.The planned compressor upgrade and installation at the South Marsh Island 71 F
Platform was successfully completed and all wells on the platform returned to normal production levels in mid-December 2019.The
compressor upgrade will allow the Company to manage the producing wells in a more consistent, stable manner as the wells will no longer be
affected by normal fluctuations in sales line pressure caused by monthly pipeline maintenance operations.

There are many benefits to stable production rates including more accurate monthly sales nominations, more predictable operating costs and,
with the increased ability to control production rates there will be overall better reservoir management which results in improved oil
recovery. Platform production was shut-in on 7 December for construction work. The SM71 F3 was returned to production in less than three
days producing through the high-pressure production system. Both the SM71 F1 and F2 wells were shut-in a total of seven days. The
installation work was carried out on budget and crews were demobilised on 12 December.During December 2019 quarter, gross oil
production averaged 2,766 barrels of oil per day ("bopd).

Salt Dome Projects

South Marsh Island 73 Salt Dome

For the quarter ended 31 December 2019, Byron's share of net revenue was approximately US$ 6.0 million compared to US$ 6.5 million in
September 2019 quarter, mainly due to lower production as a result of compressor upgrade requiring a partial shut in of the wells.During the
December 2019 quarter, Byron realised an average oil price after uplift for LLS price differentials and deductions for transportation, oil
shrinkage and other applicable adjustments of US$ 55.90 per bbl (US$ 60.25 excluding transportation) compared to US$ 57.18 per bbl and
US$ 61.53 per bbl respectively for the September quarter.Byron realised an average price after transportation deductions of approximately
US$ 2.03 per mmbtu during the December quarter (US$ 2.40 excluding transportation) compared to US$ 2.03 per mmbtu and US$ 2.41 per
mmbtu respectively for the September quarter.Gas was not processed for NGLs as direct gas sales delivered higher proceeds due to supressed
NGL commodity pricing during the quarter.

As reported on 25 November 2019, Otto declined to participate in the SM71 F4 well after being offered participation a second time. After re-
evaluating the SM71 F4 well for geological and drilling risks versus potential rewards, Byron decided to drill the F4 well on a 100% basis.The
SM71 Offshore Operating Agreement ("OOA) provides for participation in proposed operations by fewer than all parties, including the right
for the non-participating party to revert to their working interest after the participating party has recouped, out of 100% of production, an
amount of six hundred percent (600%) of all costs associated with drilling and completion, as outlined in Byron's ASX release of 2 October
2019.

The SM71 F4 well is designed to test the highly productive D5 Sand outboard of the main D5 field area on SM71 where the F1 and F3 wells
have combined to produce more than 2.0 million barrels of oil and 2.8 billion cubic feet of gas since production began in March 2018. If
successful, the F4 well would extend and prove up additional reserves in the D5 Sand, in particular the D5 Upper reservoir. Being a separate
reservoir target, if unsuccessful the F4 result has no impact on the existing booked reserves associated with the D5 Sand producing reservoir.

If the SM71 F4 is not successful, the upper portion of the wellbore can be used for the SM71 F5 or another wellcosts of which would be
partially recouped from participating parties in the future well.On Saturday, 25 January 2020, the Enterprise Offshore Drilling 264 ("EOD 264)
arrived on location to drill the SM71 F4 well from Byron's SM71 F Platform. The SM71 F4 well will be drilled to a depth of 8,180 ft Measured
Depth (7,615 ft True Vertical Depth) and is expected to take 25 days to drill.The SM71 F5 well has not yet been officially proposed by Byron (as
operator) due to the structure of the OOA. For clarity timing of the SM71 F5 well, which would also target the D5 Sand, is yet to be
determined.

Byron, through its wholly owned subsidiary Byron Energy Inc., is the operator of SM71 and currently has a 50% working interest and a
40.625% net revenue interest in SM71. Otto holds the remaining interest in SM71.

South Marsh Island 58

As previously reported, in early October 2019 Byron completed the drilling of SM58 G1 well (formerly SM58 011 BP01 well) which successfully
tested Byron's Cutthroat Prospect, identified and evaluated using high-tech Reverse Time Migration (RTM), Vector Image Processing (VIP) and
Full Waveform Inversion (FWI) 3D seismic processing. The SM58 G1 well encountered a true vertical thickness net pay of 301 feet in the upper
O Sands.

Mud log data indicated a total hydrocarbon bearing interval thickness in the Lower O section of between 180 and 250 feet.The SM58 G1 well
was mudline suspended so that it ultimately can be completed and placed on production when the G platform is set later this year.As
reported on 17 October 2019, the Company's third-party reserve engineers, Collarini Associates ("Collarini) provided an estimate of the
Prospective Resource for the Lower O Sand penetrated by the SM58 G1 well utilizing all available mud log and mud gas isotube data.

The Lower O Sand over the Cutthroat prospect was assigned 8.074 Mbbls of oil and 10.2 Bcf of gas net to Byron.An additional Lower O Sand
prospect is now included in the resource update as the North Cutthroat Prospect. The North Cutthroat Lower O Sand prospect is based on a
high-quality seismic amplitude that lies upthrown to the main Lower O Sand prospect at Cutthroat.

This prospect will be further evaluated with information gained from the drilling of the G2 well. The North Cutthroat Lower O Sand prospect
has a Prospective Resource (net to Byron) of 2,624 Mbo of oil and 3.2 Bcf of gas.Collarini's overall Prospective Resources for the Lower O Sand
on SM58 are 10,698 Mbbl and 14.0 Bcf of gas (net to Byron). With the inclusion of the Lower O Sand from the Cutthroat area discussed above,
Byron's Prospective Resources for the SM58 have increased 2,065%.For further information on SM58 reserves and prospective resources refer
to the Company's ASX announcements on 19 September 2019 and 17 October 2019.

The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the relevant
market announcements of 19 September 2019 and 17 October 2019 and that all the material assumptions and technical parameters
underpinning the estimates in the relevant market announcement continue to apply and have not materially changed.

SM58 G Production Platform and Development Drilling

As reported on 9 May 2019 Byron purchased a production platform consisting of two decks, a jacket and production equipment from a private
company for a total price of US$ 1.0 million. Construction work on the future SM58 G platform is ongoing in Abbeville, Louisiana and remains
on schedule for installation in June 2020. Structural work to the jacket portion of the platform is in progress and painting and coating of the
deck portion is complete. The next construction phase will focus on interconnect piping. All production equipment is being refurbished and
will be reinstalled along with instrumentation and electrical work over the next three months. When completed and installed, the SM58 G
platform will be capable of handling 8,000 barrels of oil per day, 80 million cubic feet of natural gas per day and 8,000 barrels of water per
day.

As previously reported, the SM58 G1 well encountered a true vertical thickness net pay of 301 feet in the Upper O Sands. Mud log data
indicated a total hydrocarbon bearing interval thickness in the Lower O section of between 180 and 250 feet. Due to hole conditions, the
Lower O Sand interval was not logged in the SM58 G1 well and will be the primary target of a future well. The SM58 G1 well was mudline
suspended so that it ultimately can be completed and placed on production when the G platform is set later this year.As reported on 28
January 2020, the Company has executed a drilling contract with Enterprise Offshore Drilling to utilize the EOD 264 mat jack up rig to drill four
new wells and complete all successful wells drilling during the program along with completion of the SM58 G1 well. The contract calls for the
EOD 264 to be released to Byron after 15 May 2020, subject to its availability.

The initial well to be drilled under the contract will be the SM69 E2 (refer to South Marsh Island 69 section below).The focus of the second
phase of Byron's 2020 drilling program will be the SM58 lease where three new wells will be drilled from the SM58 G Platform once it is set.
Initial operations when the rig is mobilized to SM58 G will be to complete the G1 well as an Upper O Sand producer before beginning to drill
new wells.

The first new well, the SM58 G2, will be drilled to retest the Lower O Sand where strong oil shows were observed over a 150-250-foot section
of the SM58 G1 wellbore in September of 2019 (refer to Byron's ASX release dated 30 September 2019 for details). Additional new wells will
also be drilled from the SM58 G Platform to test the Upper and Lower O Sands defined in Byron's Steelhead Prospect and the Upper O Sand in
the Brown Trout Prospect. The exact order of drilling will be determined in the next few months and the rig will also be used to complete all
successful wells drilled at SM69 and SM58 under the contract. Byron's contract also provides the opportunity to add an optional well to the
program should the Company choose to do so.

SM58 Production Statistics

Byron's share of production for the quarter ended 31 December 2019 is shown in the table below. Byron acquired the SM 58 lease effective
1st January 2019.

South Marsh Island 57 and 59

Byron currently holds a 100% WI and an 81.25% NRI in SM57/59. Water depth in the area is approximately 125 feet.The SM57/59 blocks, as
part of the larger SM71 project area, are also focus areas of the seismic processing project, which Byron undertook with Schlumberger's
subsidiary WesternGeco to help evaluate potential future exploration drill sites.

South Marsh Island 69

As previously reported, Byron entered into a Joint exploration Agreement and a related Production Handling Agreement with SM69
leaseholders to drill a SM69 E2 development well off the recently acquired E Platform to earn interest in the north-east portion of the SM69
lease block. Byron and SM69 leaseholders have finalised a Joint Exploration Agreement for the proposed E2 well in the south 3/4 of the north-
east &frac14of the north east &frac14of SM69.By funding 100% of the well Byron will earn 100% WI and 80.33% NRI until E2 Project Payout,
at which time and at the leaseholder's election, Byron's NRI will either adjust to 77.33% or the leaseholders can convert to a 30% WI and
Byron's interest in the project would adjust to 70% WI with an unburdened 58.33% NRI. The SM69 E2 well will test six sands in a fault block
adjacent to the fault block where the SM58 E1 well is currently producing from the K4 Sand. If the SM69 E2 well is successful, first production
from the E2 well is expected within three to six months.

South Marsh Island 60

Byron Energy Inc, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired the South Marsh Island 60 lease ("SM60 at the Gulf of Mexico, Outer
Continental Shelf ("OCS) Lease Sale 252 held in New Orleans, Louisiana on 20 March 2019. From 1978 through 2006, nine wells completed for
production on SM60 produced a combined total of 385 billion cubic feet of gas and 787,000 barrels of oil. SM60 lies within the area of Byron's
RTM reprocessing project which was used to evaluate the prospect potential on the block.

South Marsh Island 70

Byron has a 100% WI and 87.5% NRI (royalty rate of 12.5%) South Marsh Island 70 ("SM 70) at the Gulf of Mexico OCS Lease Sale 250 held on
21 March 2018 in New Orleans, Louisiana. Byron has identified several higher risk exploratory leads on SM70. These leads are being evaluated
following completion Byron's South Marsh Island project seismic reprocessing work in late 2018. No material activity was undertaken on
SM70 during the December 2019 quarter

Byron acquired Eugene Island blocks 62, 63, 76 and 77 ("EI62/63/76/77), at Gulf of Mexico OCS Lease Sale 250 held on 21 March 2018 in New
Orleans, Louisiana. Water depth in the area is approximately 20 feet.Byron currently holds a 100% WI and an 87.5% NRI in EI62/63/76/77,
reflecting the recently reduced Federal Government Royalty of 12.5% versus pre-2017 rate of 18.75%.EI62/63/76/77 were designated as the
Eugene Island 77 Field in the 1960's and have produced 362 billion cubic feet of gas and 6.5 million barrels of oil from sands trapped by the
Eugene Island 77 salt dome. Initial production from the field began in 1957.

There is no production on these blocks currently.On the basis of proprietary RTM, undertaken by WesternGeco (a Schlumberger group
company) in 2014 of 3D seismic data over the entire four block Eugene Island 77 Field, Byron acquired EI62/63/76/77 at the OCS Lease Sale
250.As a result of this detailed work Byron significantly upgraded the reserve potential of EI62/63/76/77.In the September 2018 quarter,
Byron began a reprocessing effort similar that undertaken on the SM71 Project Area with WesternGeco over all four Eugene Island blocks
leased by the Company. Final deliverables were received during the June quarter 2019. Analysis of the reprocessed data is continuing.As
previously reported, drilling plans for EI 77 have been paused, with SM58 being brought forward ahead of the EI77 field wells.

Main Pass 293, 305 & 306

Byron currently holds a 100% WI and an 87.50% NRI in Main Pass 293, 305 & 306 ("MP 306 Field) acquired at the Gulf of Mexico, Outer
Continental Shelf ("OCS) Lease Sale 251 ("Lease Sale 251) held in New Orleans, Louisiana on 15 August 2018.The three leases comprise the
MP306 field as formerly designated by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management ("BOEM). The MP 306 Field was discovered in 1969 and lies
in approximately 200 feet of water. Total produced hydrocarbons from the field are 96 million barrels of oil and 107 bcf of gas from 172 of the
249 total wells drilled. The field ceased production in late 2009 and the last well drilled on any of these blocks was in 2004.

The production was from a number of sands ranging from a depth of 4,000 to 9,000 feet.The structural complexity of the salt dome combined
with the stratigraphic variation of the trapping sands and possible deeper stratigraphic targets makes this salt dome an ideal candidate for
RTM seismic imaging, similar to Byron's operated SM71 salt dome project. While no material activity was undertaken during the December
2019 quarter, the Company will shortly start scoping an RTM seismic imaging project over the MP306 field.

Non-Salt Dome Projects

Grand Isle Block 95

Grand Isle Block 95 ("GI95) is located in US Federal waters, approximately 100 miles southeast of New Orleans, Louisiana, at a water depth of
approximately 201 feet. The Company has a 100% operated WI and an 87.5% NRI, reflecting the recently reduced Federal Government
Royalty of 12.5% versus pre-2017 rate of 18.75%. Water depth in the area is approximately 197 feet.Byron acquired the GI95 lease at Central
Gulf of Mexico OCS Lease Sale 249 held on 16 August 2017 in New Orleans, Louisiana. No material activity was undertaken on GI 95 during

Liquidity Ratios

Liquidity ratios are used to determine a company's ability to pay off its short-terms debts obligations. Generally, the higher the value
of the ratio, the larger the margin of safety that the company possesses to cover short-term debts. A company's ability to turn short-
term assets into cash to cover debts is of the utmost importance when creditors are seeking payment. Bankruptcy analysts and
mortgage originators frequently use the liquidity ratios to determine whether a company will be able to continue as a going concern.
Current Ratio measures a company's ability to pay its short-term obligations. The ratio gives an idea of the
company's ability to pay back its short-term liabilities (debt and payables) with its short-term assets (cash,
Current Ratio inventory, receivables). The higher the current ratio, the more capable the company is of paying its
obligations. A ratio under 1 suggests that the company would be unable to pay off its obligations if they
came due at that point.
Calculation: Current Assets / Current Liabilities
Quick Ratio Quick ratio measures a company's ability to meet its short-term obligations with its most liquid assets.
Calculation: (Current Assets - Inventories) / Current Liabilities
Cash ratio is the most stringent and conservative of the three short-term liquidity ratio. It only looks at the
most liquid short-term assets of the company, which are those that can be most easily used to pay off
Cash Ratio
current obligations. It also ignores inventory and receivables, as there are no assurances that these two
accounts can be converted to cash in a timely matter to meet current liabilities.
Calculation: {(Cash & Bank Balance + Marketable Securities) / Current Liabilities)}

Leverage Ratios

Leverage ratios are used to calculate the financial leverage of a company to get an idea of the company's methods of financing or to
measure its ability to meet financial obligations. There are several different ratios, but the main factors looked at include debt, equity,
assets and interest expenses.
Debt to Equity Ratio is a measure of a company's financial leverage. The debt/equity ratio also depends on
Debt to Equity Ratio the industry in which the company operates. For example, capital-intensive industries tend to have a higher
debt-equity ratio.
Calculation: Total Debt / Shareholders Equity
Debt to capital ratio gives an idea of a company's financial structure, or how it is financing its operations,
along with some insight into its financial strength. The higher the debt-to-capital ratio, the more debt the
company has compared to its equity. This indicates to investors whether a company is more prone to using
Debt to Capital Ratio
debt financing or equity financing. A company with high debt-to-capital ratios, compared to a general or
industry average, may show weak financial strength because the cost of these debts may weigh on the
company and increase its default risk.

Efficiency ratios measure a company's effectiveness in various areas of its operations, essentially looking at maximizing its use of
resources.
Fixed Asset Turnover ratio indicates how well the business is using its fixed assets to generate sales. A

Calculation: Revenue / [Current Year Total Assets + Last Year Total Assets)/2]
Current Asset Turnover Current Asset Turnover indicates how efficiently the business uses its current assets to generate sales.
Calculation: Revenue / [Current Year Current Assets + Last Year Current Assets)/2]
Inventory Turnover ratio shows how many times a company's inventory is sold and replaced over a period.
Inventory Turnover A low turnover implies poor sales and, therefore, excess inventory. A high ratio implies either strong sales
or ineffective buying.
Calculation: Cost of Goods Sold /[Current Year Inventory + Last Year Inventory)/2]
Working Capital Turnover is a measurement to compare the depletion of working capital to the generation
Working Capital
of sales. This provides some useful information as to how effectively a company is using its working capital
Turnover
to generate sales.
Calculation: Revenue / (Current Assets – Current Liabilities)

Revenue per Employee most useful when compared against other companies in the same industry. Generally, a company seeks the
highest revenue per employee.
Calculation: Revenue / No. of Employees
Efficiency Ratio is used to calculate a bank's efficiency. An increase means the company is losing a larger
Efficiency Ratio percentage of its income to expenses. If the efficiency ratio is getting lower, it is good for the bank and its
shareholders.
Calculation: [Non-interest expense / (Net Interest Income + Non-Interest Income)] * 100
