RE: Carpentaria-2H Continues Strong Gas Production22 Aug 2022 01:55
Empire Energy Group Limited (“Empire”) is pleased to provide shareholders with an update
regarding the ongoing flow testing of the Carpentaria-2H (“C-2H”) well in Empire’s 100% owned
and operated EP187 tenement, located in the Northern Territory’s Beetaloo Sub-basin.
Extended production testing (“EPT”) of C-2H has continued with gas flowing at an average rate of
2.6 mmscf / day over the first 13 days of the EPT (a normalised rate of 2.8 mmscf / day per
1,000m horizontal section). The well is currently flowing at 2.5 mmscf / day.
Following a period of initial “clean-up”, the well was shut-in for 2 days to replace the hydraulic
stimulation wellhead with a flow testing wellhead and to monitor pressure build-up. During the
shut-in the formation pressure built very quickly to 1,275 psi from 185 psi before shut-in, which
indicates excellent reservoir connectivity. Following the shut-in, the well recommenced

Carpentaria-2H Continues Strong Production with Minimal Decline
production at >11 mmscf / day prior to returning to a stabilised rate of 2.5 mmscf / day for the last
7 days.
Modifications to the C-2H flowback pipework undertaken during shut-in will allow the EPT to
continue while Carpentaria-3H drilling commences on the same well pad later in Q3 2022.
Flow testing continues at C-2H.
