OVERVIEW

Greenbond Group, Inc. is seeking +/-$817 million (excluding $10 million in prior investment) to purchase oil & gas producing and development assets offshore Western Australia.

  • Private acquisition of producing oil & gas assets – estimated PV10 valuation near $460 million (details provided separately, upon discussion with Greenbond)
  • Five-year oil development assets – +/-$20 million acquisition from Kato Energy Pty Ltd (plus $17 million start-up and $285 million development)
    • contingent oil resources of 21.6 million barrels and prospective resources of 61.4 million barrels across two shallow water oil developments (fully drilled and many wells appraised) located in the Dampier sub-basin of the Carnavon Basin
    • seismic analysis improved and de-risked additional prospects in the blocks; full 3-D seismic reprocessing over Amulet/Talisman; seismic amplitude and inversion work over all resources
  • Experienced global oil & gas management team – expertise in onshore and offshore oil & gas exploration, development, and production, as well as drilling and oilfield services

OPPORTUNITY

Worldwide oil & gas production assets outside of OPEC is limited – assets located in politically and economically stable, non-OPEC locations (such as Australia) are highly valued.

  • Global upstream oil & gas reserves continue to deplete on increased production amid limited experienced labor
  • Non-OPEC oil & gas producers, such as the supermajor and major oils continue to struggle to maintain their upstream production and expertise
  • As a result, there is increased interest in non-OPEC offshore drilling, as onshore production is challenged by decline rates

AUSTRALIA – LARGEST GLOBAL EXPORTER OF LNG

Successful history of oil & gas exploration & production since the 1960s, culminating in Australia becoming the largest exporter of LNG, as of 2022.

  • Stable democracy, governed by Rule of Law – low sovereign risk and attractive fiscal terms
  • Strategically located to service the strong Asian LNG markets – such as Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan

PHASE 1 – AMULET OIL RESOURCES

Amplitude response relationship to structure.

  • Indicates anomaly crosses depth structure and is not contained within a satellite structural crest
  • Look of a ‘geo-body’, with low-side interpretation – represents a cemented channel faces or coaly facies
  • Alternative high-side interpretation – represents a channelized sand-body in a combination structural/stratigraphic trap

PHASE 1 – TALISMAN OIL RESOURCES

Time Structure (Top Mira Marl & Base Toolonga Calcilutite).

  • Expansion of overall structure and attic to NW from base-case to high-case interpretation
  • Full model rebuild from new seismic reprocessing and geological model; numeric simulation history match provided the certified range or resources
  • Alternative high-side interpretation – represents a channelized sand-body in a combination structural/stratigraphic trap

PHASE 2 – COROWA OIL RESOURCES

Top Birdrong Reference Case DSM.

  • Similar form to Reference Case Depth Structure Map, but depth structure raised slightly to the East (as would be expected with the residual Corowa East-1 mis-tie) and depressed by a similar magnitude to the West and North (as might be expected by the residual Corowa Flank-1 mis-tie)

SPECIFIC RISKS

Financial models and other supporting information regarding historical data, hypothetical target returns, contextual analysis, and other pertinent matters will be made available to prospective investors upon request. There is no guarantee of success, and there is a potential for loss of your investment.

Risks related to early-stage company

  • Limited financial history, limited assets, and cash flows

Risks related to liquidity

  • Insufficient capital to acquire/develop oil & gas assets, and/or drilling rig(s)

Risks related to commodity prices

  • Oil & gas prices are impossible to predict and historically have been cyclical in nature

Risks related to the economy

  • Decline in economic demand could negatively impact prices and demand, and prevent expected returns on investment 

Risks related to geology

  • Search for oil & gas involves a high degree of risk including dry holes and lower than expected concentration or production volumes

Risks related to operations

  • Higher than expected drilling costs, blowouts or fires, unexpected equipment / supply chain bottlenecks

Risks related to key persons

  • Expertise is concentrated in a few executives; expansion will require finding experienced executives, geologists, and engineers to fill open positions

Risks related to competition

  • Oil & gas industry is highly competitive with new wells coming on line and new companies entering the market vying for a relatively static and selective pool of prospects, leadership and labor. Existing and/or new entrants, some with deep pockets and global operations, could develop and/or expand to compete in Greenbond markets

Risks related to the regulation and politics

  • State and federal government permits must be in-place in order for drilling and production
  • New legislation and/or change in regulation could negatively impact operations and/or costs

Private securities are speculative, illiquid, and carry a high degree of risk – including the loss of the entire investment.
