BW Energy Provides Second Update on Kudu Appraisal Well BW Energy has completed drilling operations on the Kharas-1 appraisal well in the Kudu license area, offshore Namibia. The well reached a total depth of 5,100m and intersected multiple reservoir intervals. The well will now be plugged, and abandoned in line with the planned program. Several shallow turbidite reservoirs with dry-gas shows were encountered, and reservoir properties from these and the acquired whole core are now being evaluated. In the deeper section of the well, hydrocarbons were encountered in a fractured volcaniclastic reservoir. This confirms a working petroleum system with condensate and/or light oil. Further analysis is ongoing to determine the extent of the system and to characterise reservoir properties and appraisal options. Ankündigung • Nov 01
BW Energy Announces Update on Kudu Appraisal Well BW Energy provided an update on the Kharas-1 appraisal well, which has reached total depth and drilled multiple formation present across the Kudu license. The well was strategically designed to intersect several targets within a single borehole. While this approach did not allow for individual optimisation of each formation, it provided valuable geological data across the broader petroleum system. Preliminary results are encouraging. Several intervals show indications of hydrocarbon presence and reservoir potential, suggesting a working petroleum system at Kharas. Early analysis indicates that the K1 interval may contain hydrocarbons wetter than dry gas. A hydrocarbon migration front has been observed, and wireline operations are underway to assess reservoir quality, fluid type, and pressure characteristics. A follow-up appraisal campaign will be required to evaluate the individual targets in greater detail. The outcome of the wireline program will guide decisions on the next well location and the future appraisal strategy. Ankündigung • May 27

BW Energy Limited Appraisal Confirms Material Hibiscus Field Reserve Increase BW Energy Limited with reference is made to the stock exchange notice by BW Energy on 20 May 2024 announcing a substantial oil discovery on the northern flank of the Hibiscus field. BW Energy has now concluded the drilling and the logging of the DHIBM-7P pilot well, confirming a substantial oil discovery with good reservoir quality and a material uplift to the Hibiscus area. The Company’s preliminary evaluation indicates an increase in Hibiscus gross recoverable reserves (mid-case) of approximately 8 million barrels of oil to 12 million barrels of oil. The Company plans to complete the well as a development well later in 2024. The DHIBM-7P pilot was drilled from the MaBoMo production platform to a total depth of 3,941 metres. The target area is located approximately 1.5 kilometres north-northwest of the MaBoMo and was drilled by the Borr Norve jack-up rig. Notably, the hydrocarbon column extends across the boundary between the Gamba and the underlying Dentale formation. This is the first example of a common Gamba-Dentale hydrocarbon accumulation in Hibiscus Field. The current operation in Dussafu is to complete the development well (DHBSM-2H) in the northern flank of the Hibiscus South field that was recently successfully appraised. Ankündigung • May 30

BW Energy Announces Hibiscus South Pilot Well Confirms Hydrocarbons BW Energy announced that the DHBSM-2P pilot well confirms that the Hibiscus South deposit extends into the northern part of the field with good reservoir quality, increasing reserve estimates. The Company plans to complete the well as a production well later in 2024. The DHBSM-2P Pilot was drilled from the MaBoMo production platform to a total depth of 5,130 metres. The target area is located approximately 3.2 kilometres west-northwest of the MaBoMo and was drilled by the Borr Norvejack-up rig. Evaluation of logging data, sample examination and formation pressure measurements confirm approximately 25 metres of pay in an overall hydrocarbon column of 35 metres in the Gamba formation. The well data provides additional confirmation that the Hibiscus South structure is a separate accumulation with a deeper oil-water contact than the nearby Hibiscus Field. This will enable the Company to book additional reserves not currently included in its annual statement of reserves and provide the opportunity to drill one or more additional production wells from the MaBoMo facility. Preliminary evaluation indicates gross recoverable reserves of 5 to 6 million barrels of oil and approximately 14 million barrels of oil in place. Ankündigung • Apr 30

BW Energy Starts Production from Fourth Well in the Hibiscus / Ruche Development BW Energy announced that production has safely started from the fourth well of the Hibiscus /Ruche Phase 1 development in the Dussafu licence offshore Gabon. Well performance is in line with expectations with current production at approximately 6,500 barrels per day. The DHIBM-6H well was drilled as a horizontal well from the MaBoMo production facility to a total depth of 4,125 metres into Gamba sandstone reservoir at the Hibiscus field. Following completion, the Borr Norve jack-up has commenced drilling operations on the fifth production well DRM-3H. This will be the first Ruche Gamba well in this drilling campaign. As previously communicated, DHIBM-3H and -4H have experienced issues with the ESPs (electrical submersible pumps). Investigations into the cause are ongoing. DHIBM-4H is currently flowing naturally at 2,800 barrels per day, while DHIBM-3H is temporarily not producing while continue to work solutions. Current gross production from the Dussafu license is now approximately 26,500 barrels per day after the fourth Hibiscus well came onstream. The drilling campaign targets four Hibiscus Gamba and two Ruche Gamba wells which are expected to bring the total oil production up to approximately 40,000 barrels per day when all wells are completed in early 2024. The oil produced at Hibiscus/Ruche is transported by pipeline to the BW Adolo FPSO for processing and storage before offloading to export tankers. Ankündigung • Aug 25
