Empyrean Energy plc Provides Mako Gas Project Update Empyrean Energy plc provided the following update on progress at the Duyung PSC and the Mako Gas Field in Indonesia. Following Empyrean's announcement on 3 March 2026 in which Conrad Asia Energy Ltd. and its majority-owned subsidiary, West Natuna Exploration Limited, as operator, approved the Final Investment Decision for the Mako Gas Project, Conrad have advised the market that project development activities remain on track. As detailed by Conrad in their ASX Quarterly Activities Report for the period ending 31 March 2026, by the end of First Quarter 2026, West Natuna Exploration Limited had issued letters of award covering more than USD 280 million of the Mako Gas Project capital contracts, constituting over 80% of the total capital costs. Letters of award have been issued for the drilling rig, SURF (subsea, umbilicals, risers, flowlines) EPCI, CSF (conductor support frame) EPCT, and all long lead items. Several milestone payments have already been made to the contractors. Cost remain in line with previous guidance. The Mako Gas Project is structured as a tow-phase programmed initially comprising six development wells (this Final Investment Decision) tied back to a leased Mobile Offshore Production Unit at the field. The Mobile Offshore Production Unit has a design capacity of 172 mmscfd. Sales gas will be transported via an approximately 59km, 18-inch pipeline to the KF platform in the adjoining Kakap PSC, then through the West Natuna Transportation System pipeline for delivery to the Indonesian domestic market. Supply will be facilitated via a new spur pipeline from the West Natuna Transportation System to Pemping Island, Riau Province, which is being constructed by PLN EPE, a wholly owned subsidiary of PLN Persero. Gas allocation volumes and transportation tariffs within the West Natuna Transportation System have been agreed with SKK Migas and the West Natuna Transportation System Joint Venture. A formal Gas Transportation Agreement is expected to executed in the coming weeks. As advised previously, total capital expenditure to first gas is estimated at USD 320 million (100% basis).

Empyrean Energy plc Commences Drilling of Wilson River-1 Well Empyrean Energy plc announced that rigging up operations for drilling the Wilson River-1 well proceeded smoothly and that Condor Energy Services Ltd. has advised that the well spud in at 2.30pm 14 March 2025 local time and that drilling operations have now commenced. Well Objective: Wilson River-1 has been designed as a vertical oil exploration well in the Northwest corner of ATP 1173 permit located Southwest Queensland, Australia. The main objective of the well is to evaluate and test the hydrocarbon potential of a seismically identified up thrown, structural fault bounded high. The Murta, Birkhead and Hutton formations are the primary targets and potential reservoir sands in Cadna-owie (Basal Wyandra) and Namur sequences are secondary targets. The prognosed total depth of the well is 1450m DRT (Depth Rotary Table) estimated to be approximately 50mMD into the Basement facilitating effective petrophysical analysis of the defined targets. It is planned to drill 12-1/4" hole section to ~350 mTVD/DRT and then run and cement 9-5/8" casing to surface. Following a successful leak-off test, it is planned to then drill 8-1/2" hole to TD (Total Depth) of ~1450mDRT. Based on the offset wells data, it is anticipated that the well could reach the TD (Total Depth) within 5-6 days from spudding. Planned Formation Evaluation: It is then planned to acquire a "Quad Combo" logging suite in the well for a comprehensive formation evaluation of target zones. This will include Gamma Ray, Density, Neutron, Inline Dipole Sonic, Laterolog Resistivity and Multi-Arm Caliper logs. Once logs are evaluated, the well will be cased and suspended. It is anticipated that log analysis and specialised petrophysical analysis may take a few weeks after which a cased-hole DST (Drill Stem Test) will be considered depending on the results.

New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 62% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (currently running at an operating cash loss).

Indonesian Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources Approves the Updated Plan of Development for Empyrean Energy Plc Empyrean Energy plc advised that the Indonesian Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources has now approved the updated Plan of Development for the Mako Gas Project within the Duyung PSC (the "Updated Mako PoD"). Details of the Updated Mako PoD were announced by the Company on 9 September 2022. The Updated Mako PoD amends an initial Mako Gas Project PoD approved in 2018 to reflect, inter alia, previously announced increases in Contingent Resources following a successful 2019 drilling campaign. The award of the revised POD represents a material event in progressing the Mako Gas Project and is a significant milestone on the critical path to developing this significant resource, which is currently the largest undeveloped gas field in South Natuna Sea. The Updated Mako PoD is based on field Contingent Resources of 297 billion cubic feet (net attributable to 100% of the Duyung PSC Joint Venture) and a daily production of 120 MMscf/d, consistent with the GaffneyCline Associates competent persons report dated 26 August 2022, details of which were also announced by the Company on 9 September 2022. At present, there is no infrastructure to transmit gas from the Mako field to domestic markets in Indonesia, and hence under the Updated Mako PoD the export of production to Singapore, which is already connected to the West Natuna Gas Transportation System, has been approved until and unless such evacuation routes to Indonesia are built, at which point up to 25% of production may be allocated for domestic sale. The existing underutilised gas pipeline to Singapore expedites the development of the Mako gas field from which gas is expected to be produced from 2025. The Operator of the Duyung PSC is West Natuna Exploration Limited, a 100%-owned subsidiary of Conrad Asia Energy Ltd, who hold a 76.5% interest in the Duyung PSC.

Empyrean Energy Plc Provides Update on Drilling at the Jade Prospect at its 100% Owned Block 29/11 Permit, Offshore China Empyrean Energy Plc provided update on drilling at the Jade prospect at its 100% owned Block 29/11 permit, offshore China. The NH9 Semisubmersible drilling rig made excellent progress at LH 17-2-1 with the drilling of the 12-1/4" section to 2,150 metres MD and current operations are preparations for running 9-5/8" casing. During drilling of the 12-1/4" section, elevated methane (C1) ranging from 227 parts per million ("ppm") to 15,440 ppm was recorded at the gas chromatograph during mudlogging. Negligible C2 and no C3 components were recorded. Higher values of methane (C1) ranging from 4,190 ppm to 15,440 ppm were recorded in the zone between 1,550 metres to 1,800 metres MD which was interpreted pre-drill to be a "gas cloud" zone. During the drilling of this section, EME was in regular communication with CNOOC to fully understand and cross check the significance of elevated methane (C1) against CNOOC discovery wells. CNOOC has confirmed comparable methane ranges in their oil discovery well LH 23-1-1d that is located 10km Southwest of the Jade prospect. LH 23-1-1d also exhibited a gas cloud on seismic data. The elevated methane readings to date have validated the Company's pre-drill interpretation of seismic data, including the presence of a gas cloud in overburden above the Jade prospect, a feature also present over the Topaz prospect. It is also the case that two dry wells drilled by AMOCO in the 1990s on the eastern flank of Empyrean's Block 29/11 permit area did not display any gas clouds nor did they have elevated methane (C1) whilst drilling the same geological formation. Based on the latest elevated methane (C1) readings, Empyrean has upgraded its internal Geological Chance of Success ("GCoS") for the Jade prospect from 41% to 65%. It has also upgraded the GCoS for its Topaz prospect from 35% to 47%. Ankündigung • Apr 14

Empyrean Energy Plc Commences Drilling At Jade Prospect At Block 29/11 Permit, Offshore China Empyrean Energy Plc provided the following update on drilling the Jade prospect at its 100% owned Block 29/11 permit, offshore China: drilling has commenced at the LH 17-2-1 well on Jade prospect on 10 April 2022. The NH9 Semisubmersible drilling rig has commenced operations at LH 17-2-1 with the drilling of the 36" surface hole down to 588 metres Measured Depth ("MD"), and current operations are installation of the 30" surface conductor. Following the setting of the surface conductor, the 17 ½" hole will be drilled down to 1050 metres MD and the 13 ?" casing will be set and cemented in place. The rig will then drill ahead in 12 ¼" hole to approximately 2140 meters MD before setting the 9 ?" casing. After setting the 9 ?" casing, the rig will drill ahead in the 8 ½" hole section through to the expected Total Depth ("TD") of the well at 2860 meters MD. During the drilling of the Jade well, are conducting Logging While Drilling ("LWD") operations and should encounter hydrocarbons in the main target zone will run additional Combo Logs to confirm any oil pay zones. If an oil pay zone is confirmed then the plan is to carry out flow testing operations on the oil pay zones. The 2021 drilling campaign is targeting a world class conventional oil target in the Jade Prospect, to which Gaffney Cline & Associates ("GCA") assigned a Geological Chance of Success ("GCoS") of 32%. Subsequent to this independent assessment, the Company completed a gas cloud study and post stack seismic inversion study that it believes further mitigates risk and increases the GCoS to 41%. The Jade Prospect has a GCA audited mean in place potential of 225 MMbbl and a P10 in place upside of 395 MMbbl. Four recent nearby discoveries by CNOOC immediately to the West of the Jade Prospect are filled to their P10 potential or better. All four CNOOC discoveries have gas clouds showing in the overburden on seismic. Empyrean's excellent quality 3D seismic indicates that there is a classic "fill to spill" geological setup in the basin, and a robust regional seal, that provides the Jade and Topaz Prospects with a very real possibility of being filled in a similar fashion to nearby discoveries. The Jade and Topaz prospects both have gas clouds, similar to nearby discoveries, in the overburden on 3D seismic. Dry wells nearby do not have gas clouds. The Jade Prospect is the first of the three identified prospects within Block 29/11, which also contains the Topaz and Pearl prospects. The combined audited mean in place potential of all three prospects is 884 MMbbl and a P10 in place upside of 1,588 MMbbl. The post stack seismic inversion study showed Jade and Topaz both have the potential for excellent carbonate buildup reservoir quality with excellent porosity and permeability. Any oil discovered is expected to be light oil in the 38-41 API range, similar to nearby discoveries. These attributes combined with the potential for exceptional natural reservoir drive supports the potential for excellent recovery rates. The objective of drilling the Jade well is to test for hydrocarbons down to the TD of the well at 2860 meters MD. Ankündigung • Apr 08

Subsequent to this independent assessment, the Company completed a gas cloud study and post stack seismic inversion study that it believes further mitigates risk and increases the GCoS to 35%. Further, any discovery at the upcoming Jade well significantly increases the geological chance of success at Topaz. The Topaz Prospect has GCA audited mean in place potential of 434 MMbbl and a P10 in place upside of 891 MMbbl. Four recent nearby discoveries by CNOOC immediately to the West of the Jade Prospect are filled to their P10 potential or better. All four CNOOC discoveries have gas clouds showing in the overburden on seismic. Empyrean's excellent quality 3D seismic indicates that there is a classic "fill to spill" geological setup in the basin, and a robust regional seal, that provides the Jade and Topaz Prospects with a very real possibility of being filled in a similar fashion to nearby discoveries. The Jade and Topaz prospects both have gas clouds, similar to nearby discoveries, in the overburden on 3D seismic. Dry wells nearby do not have gas clouds. The Jade Prospect is the first of the three identified prospects within Block 29/11, which also contains the Topaz and Pearl prospects. The combined audited mean in place potential of all three prospects is 884 MMbbl and a P10 in place upside of 1,588 MMbbl. The post stack seismic inversion study showed Jade and Topaz both have the potential for excellent carbonate buildup reservoir quality with excellent porosity and permeability. Any oil discovered is expected to be light oil in the 38-41 API range, similar to nearby discoveries. These attributes combined with the potential for exceptional natural reservoir drive supports the potential for excellent recovery rates. Ankündigung • Mar 31
Empyrean Energy plc Provides Block 29/11, China – Jade Drilling Update Empyrean Energy plc provided the following update on preparations to drill the Jade prospect at its 100% owned Block 29/11 permit, offshore China: Safety inspection at the China Oilfield Services Limited ("COSL") owned NH9 drill rig have been completed and the rig is cleared and ready for mobilisation to the Jade well location. High winds and seas have required a re-scheduling of up-anchor, mobilisation and anchoring at the Jade well location to meet strict safety protocols. The NH9 rig is still safely anchored at the CNOOC well location pending suitable operable weather conditions. The long range forecast looks suitable. Empyrean is the operator of Block 29/11 in China and has 100% working interest during the exploration phase. In the event of a commercial discovery, its partner, China National Offshore Oil Company ("CNOOC"), may assume a 51% participating interest in the development and production phase. Following handover of the rig, safety inspections have been carried out and the NH9 rig is now cleared to move to the Jade well location pending suitable safe sea conditions. The NH9 rig has been used to drill a well for CNOOC immediately preceding mobilisation to Jade. The NH9 rig is still on location at the CNOOC well. COSL will provide a new anticipated spud date once sea conditions improve and operations can re-commence. Safety protocols require sea conditions to be a 6 or less on the Beaufort Scale for towing and anchoring operations expected to take 4 days in total. Empyrean and the CNOOC EnerTech team have taken every precaution to plan for a safe drilling campaign at Jade. The COSL owned NH9 rig and its drilling team are 'drill fit' and the NH9 rig will be mobilised straight to the Jade well location from its current position without the need to go back to port. From the spud date, the Jade well is anticipated to take approximately 26 days to drill to Total Depth on a trouble free basis. There are no overly challenging drilling zones anticipated with the Jade well design and program. If the Jade well intercepts a hydrocarbon zone, as anticipated, then testing is planned to take approximately a further 2 weeks. Ankündigung • Mar 07
Empyrean Energy plc Provides the Following Update on Preparations to Drill the Jade Prospect At Its 100% Owned Block 29/11 Permit, Offshore China Empyrean Energy plc provided the following update on preparations to drill the Jade prospect at its 100% owned Block 29/11 permit, offshore China. Empyrean is the operator of Block 29/11 in China and has 100% working interest during the exploration phase. In the event of a commercial discovery, its partner, China National Offshore Oil Company, may assume a 51% participating interest in the development and production phase. After a sustained period of unsuitable weather, the Company is extremely pleased to confirm that the COSL survey team has taken advantage of a small operable weather window and has successfully completed the well site survey at the Jade Prospect. The survey included a number of gravity samples and an analogue survey over the Jade Prospect drill location and rig anchoring points. While the Company awaited suitable weather conditions over the past months the CNOOC EnerTech team has been working efficiently and has secured seven of the eight critical pre-drilling permits. With the completion of the well site survey the Company can now quickly lodge the application for the final permit to drill the Jade Prospect. Empyrean is now in discussions to confirm a final drill rig slot using the COSL owned NH9 rig that is currently drilling a well for CNOOC in the region and expects to announce the targeted spud date for the Jade Prospect well as soon as these negotiations complete and scheduling becomes clear. The 2021 drilling campaign is targeting a world class conventional oil target in the Jade Prospect, to which Gaffney Cline & Associates assigned a Geological Chance of Success of 32%. Subsequent to this independent assessment, the Company completed a gas cloud study and post stack seismic inversion study that it believes further mitigates risk and increases the GCoS to 41%. The Jade Prospect has a GCA audited mean in place potential of 225 MMbbl and a P10 in place upside of 395 MMbbl. Four recent nearby discoveries by CNOOC immediately to the West of the Jade Prospect are filled to their P10 potential or better.

Empyrean Energy Provides the Update on Well Design and Engineering Work for the Jade Prospect on Block 29/11, Offshore China Empyrean Energy provided the following update on well design and engineering work for the Jade prospect on Block 29/11, offshore China. On 23 April 2021, Empyrean announced that the Company had commenced comprehensive planning for the drilling of the Jade prospect in order to ensure a safe and secure drilling campaign and had awarded a contract to AGR's team in Australia to assist with well planning. AGR has now completed the well design and engineering project, and provided Empyrean with its detailed report. The AGR team completed a comprehensive review of offset wells in the vicinity of the Jade prospect, which includes four CNOOC wells. Two well design options were identified, including a three-string (casing) design and a four-string (casing) design in a success case. AGR has recommended the four-string design as it provides a more robust well design with reduced exposure to potential unplanned events and associated costs. Key Benefits of the four-string design include: The surface casing shoe can be set shallower to provide sufficient kick tolerance reducing the risk of surface hole problems, or requirement for a pump and dump mud and associated costs. Reduced risk of hole problems while drilling the final hole section that can lead to difficulties evaluating target formations and /or results in a contingency casing string across the reservoir in the success case. Planning for contingent testing equipment for this scenario would be required, reducing the cost benefits associated with string elimination. Reduced risk of complications during abandonment operations due to failure to achieve sufficient annular cement if the production string is run/cemented. Based on AGR analysis and recommendation, EME management has decided to plan for a four-string design for the Jade prospect well. In addition, the AGR report has provided a comprehensive design recommendation for drilling fluids, cement and abandonment for the well. Abandonment of the exploration and appraisal wells is a requirement even in the success case. The plan is to drill and test the Jade prospect. Following a successful test, a subsequent appraisal well would be drilled and core taken to assist with development planning. Following development approval, subsequent wells are designed for production. Ankündigung • Jan 12
