No Lost Time Incidents were recorded for Oilex personnel or contractors at any location during the quarter.

CAMBAY FIELD, GUJARAT, INDIA

(Oilex: Operator and 45% interest)

During the reporting period:

·; The Cambay Field produced 934 barrels of oil (420 barrels net to Oilex).

·; The Management Committee approved Cambay Work Program and Budget for the year ending 31 March 2014.

·; Oilex monitored the performance of the wells that had been worked-over during the previous quarter. Cambay 72 has shown a marginal increase to production while Cambay 19z and Cambay 74 have failed to respond.

·; 11 tender packages related to drilling and completion services have been issued with a further 4 tender packages relating to testing and facilities still be issued. Tenders are anticipated to close during August. Subsequent to bid evaluation a firm drilling schedule for Cambay-77H will be compiled.

·; The Gas Sales Agreement ("GSA") for Cambay-73 future production continues to be processed by the Government. The Joint Venture is ready to commence preparatory work and restart production upon endorsement of the GSA by the Government.

·; Oilex commenced discussions during the quarter with potential farm in partner(s) to the Cambay PSC.

Subsequent the reporting period:

·; A Technical Committee Meeting was held on the 17 July 2013 whereby the basis of well design for Cambay-77H was agreed with the Joint Venture partner GSPC. In addition to the well design, a "plug & perf" fracture stimulation system was agreed. The "plug & perf" system is a more robust and simplified technique for multi-stage fracture stimulations and appropriate for wells in Cambay. This approach is consistent with the independent engineering report recommendations arising from Cambay-76H operational review.

BHANDUT FIELD, GUJARAT, INDIA

(Oilex: Operator and 40% interest)

·; Oilex is continuing to investigate commercial options to realise value from this asset with its Joint Venture partner, GSPC including the possible sale of off-spec gas from Bhandut-3, through GSPC's wholly owned gas distribution subsidiary.

·; A 3.5m reservoir section in Bhandut-3 was flow tested during February 2012 and produced gas at peak rate of approximately 1.13 MMscfd before declining to a stabilised flow exceeding 0.5MMscfd.

SABARMATI FIELD, GUJARAT, INDIA

(Oilex: Operator and 40% interest)

·; The Sabarmati Field produced 865 barrels of oil (346 barrels net to Oilex) during the reporting period.

(Oilex: Operator and 10% interest)

During the reporting period:

·; A Letter of Intent to award a drilling rig contract was lodged with the ANP in accordance with one of the conditions of the PSC extension. The LOI was dependant on security of tenure over the PSC.

Subsequent to the reporting period:

·; Oilex Ltd as Operator on behalf of the Joint Venture Participants to the Joint Petroleum Development Area ("JPDA") 06-103 Production Sharing Contract ("PSC"), submitted to the Autoridade Nacional do Petróleo ("ANP") a request to terminate the PSC by mutual agreement in accordance with its terms and without penalty or claim.

West Kampar PSC, Central Sumatra, INDONESIA
