Bengal Energy Secures Permit for Hydrocarbon Exploration and Development in Cooper Basin Calgary, Alberta Bengal Energy Ltd. awarded Potential Commercial Area (PCA) 332 over an area of 343 square kilometers that was previously covered by Bengal's Authority to Prospect 732. The grant of PCA 332 provides a 15-year term with no relinquishments and allows the Company to continue to pursue the development of its highly prospective oil and gas portfolio in Queensland's Cooper Basin. The appraisal permit, granted by the Queensland Government in record time, provides much-needed certainty for Bengal to focus on its hydrocarbon projects in the Talgeberry-Tintaburra corridor. The majority of PCA 332 is covered by 3D seismic. Three of the 16 locations are drill-ready, and the Company is currently seeking investment towards drilling on these locations through equity financing and farm-out. Bengal has invested upfront into innovative ways to accelerate the commercialisation of found hydrocarbons, including the implementation of its new technology to assess resource streams as early as possible. Bengal has recently reached an offtake agreement with the Eromanga Oil Refinery (IOR operated) for any crude oil produced from PCA 332. The 52 API Caracal crude has a high diesel content which makes it particularly suited to IOR. Announcement • Jan 12
Bengal Energy Ltd. Provides Operations Update for Wareena Natural Gas Well Workover Program Bengal Energy Ltd. announced an operations update on its Wareena workover project. Natural gas well testing operations commenced in December 2022 with both the Wareena 1 and Wareena 5 wells being reperforated and tested from the PC 20 zone. Due to surface facility fluid capacity limitations and time constraints, the Company was unable to complete testing operations. Based on the salinity of produced water samples Bengal believes the water recovered from the wells was not formation water but completion fluids from prior work programs. Bengal intends to complete testing as soon as possible subject to equipment availability, and the Company will provide updates and test information after the conclusion of testing operations.

Bengal Energy Ltd. Achieves Positive Initial Results from its Pilot Waterflood Activities in its Joint-Venture Cuisinier Oil Field in Queensland, Australia Bengal Energy Ltd. achieved positive initial results from its pilot waterflood activities in its joint-venture Cuisinier oil field in Queensland, Australia. Based on the field Operator Santos's analysis of field performance since the water flood pilot commenced, the Company will recommend to the Operator that the water flood program be extended to other wells in the Cuisinier field. The Operator began injecting water into the Cuisinier 24 well in December of 2021, which reversed the downward trend of production at certain other wells in the area. Specifically: The strongest performing wells, Cuisinier 15, 16, and 25, have all shown moderate increases in oil rate since the waterflood pilot came online. Cuisinier 9, 20, and 28 have also shown improvement, although starting from a lower initial rate. All the wells monitored experienced a gross cumulative oil rate rise in September 2022 of about 35 bopd in total according to the Operator. Absent the impact of several wells that were shut-in for various operational reasons, the joint venture has observed encouraging evidence to suggest that the overall field decline has been arrested with even a general upward trend in oil rate since December 2021.

Bengal Energy Ltd. Provides Operations Updates for Recent Campaign Bengal Energy Ltd. announce that water shut-off operations at its Wareena 1 and Wareena 5 sites have been completed successfully. The water shut-off operations at the two Wareena sites were completed on time and on budget, with initial results that may support the Company's plans for further interventions designed to increase natural gas flow. Subject to the success of these interventions and positive test results, Bengal will evaluate its future capital and commercial plans to tie-in the wells to allow for commercial production and sale of natural gas from the wells. At Wareena 1, the wellhead pressure was approximately 2,300 pounds/square inch, based on a measurement taken prior to the workover in 2021. However, there was considerable cross flow of water from the dominant lower watered out zone which resulted in diminished well performance. Post water shut-off, the fluid level increased and the Company is monitoring the well. This data supports the Company's expectation that the reservoir should be capable of flowing commercial volumes of natural gas following the remediation of perforation damage resulting from more than eight years of inactivity. The Company intends to re-perforate all of the PC-20 sand and swab and test the well. These operations are expected to occur as soon as equipment and contractors are available. At Wareena 5, the Company has been monitoring the well post water shut-off and the data indicates that the PC- 20 sand was likely impaired during the well's shut-in period of more than eight years. The Company intends to re-perforate all of the PC-20 sand and swab and test the well in concert with its operations at Wareena 1. The Company has also reported the deployment of its Early Oil Production System (the "Bengal EOPS") at the Caracal 1 production area in Australia's Cooper Basin. The successful commissioning of the Bengal EOPS - a mobile Lufkin "Road Runner" Pumping Unit - allows for oil production from Bengal's wells as well as being able to offer pumping services to third parties. Further evaluation is required to assess the commercial viability of the Caracal 1 well for long term oil production. Reported Earnings • Aug 12

Bengal Energy Announces Chef-1 Exploration Well Update Bengal Energy Ltd. Announced that drilling of the Chef-1 exploration well, located in the Authority to Prospect 752 ("ATP 752") within the Barta sub-block, Potential Commercial Area 206 (PCA 206), has been completed. Following a review of the well logs, the ATP 752 joint venture parties have decided to plug and abandon the well. This exploration well is located outside of the producing Cuisinier field Petroleum Lease 303 ("PL 303"), in a location 4 km to the northeast with primary targets in the Jurassic Birkhead Formation and Hutton Sandstone, and secondary targets within the Triassic Nappamerri Group. The well encountered multiple oil shows in the primary and secondary targets; however, no commercial pay was identified at this location. The Birkhead Formation contained strong oil shows whilst drilling with up to 80% fluorescence and associated gas. Testing of this zone revealed 15% oil saturation (85% water) indicating that oil flowed into this structure but appears to have been subsequently swept. The Company is encouraged by these results, as it indicates that structural targets in this region are likely to have received hydrocarbon charge. Future exploration wells will be informed by these results and seek to identify independent structures isolated from historic production with the objective of high-grading potential oil-bearing targets. These drilling results also support the Company's expectation that this play extends beyond the northern side of the Cook oil field through the Cuisinier oil field within PCA 206 and PCA 207 where Bengal also holds a 30.357% interest.

Bengal Energy Ltd. Announces Operational Update for Its Expanded Development and Exploration Programs Bengal Energy Ltd. provided an update on its planning for the natural gas and oil development program on its 100% working interest in the Wareena, Ghina, Karnak and Ramses Petroleum Leases ("PLs"), as well as the re-entry and fracture stimulation of its 100%-owned Caracal well on ATP 732 in its Cooper Basin operating area. In addition, the Company continues to advance its exploration program and will participate in drilling the Chef exploration well in its Cuisinier project area and expects to benefit from a free carried exploration well at the Legbar location on its ATP 934 farmout block. To assist in these programs and to strengthen Bengal's technical team, the Company announced that Ms. Fatemeh Kamali, PhD, Petroleum Engineer, and Mr. Michael Nisbet, Geologist, have joined the team as consultants effective September 1, 2021. Both individuals are based in Australia and bring invaluable experience in their respective fields to Bengal's team. The Company is in the process of finalizing its reinstatement plans for its 100% working interest PLs near ATP 934. While not currently producing, all PLs have existing wells indicating log pay, drill stem test ("DST") results and/or gas production from the Permian Toolachee formation, as previously disclosed. Bengal has identified up to five wells to be tested and re-completed for production in its first phase of development. Specifically, this program is expected to include the following development activities: recommissioning of the 26km pipeline, which the Company has 100% working interest in, to tie the previously producing Wareena liquids-rich gas wells into a nearby compression station accessing the Eastern Australia local and export markets; twin drilling of the existing Karnak well which showed a liquids-rich gas pay zone in the Permian Toolachee formation. Bengal expects that with the application of the advanced underbalanced drilling techniques, which are now commonplace in the Cooper Basin, a successful new well could be immediately tied into nearby gathering infrastructure for commercial production; re-entry and stimulation of the oil bearing Wyandra formation in the Company's 100% owned Caracal well on ATP 732. The Caracal well was drilled in 2012, at which time a core was cut over the Wyandra section indicating the presence of free flowing 52-degree crude oil. The well was cased and during its completion operations, a small amount of oil and filtrate water was recovered. Renewed technical evaluation, combined with a cost-effective early production system, has led Bengal's management to advance the priority of this project. The stimulation program is being designed to enhance near well bore permeability and porosity. If successful, produced oil can be sold to the nearby Inland Oil Refinery at Eromanga; work-over of the Ramses well which demonstrated both a Permian gas discovery and Jurassic oil- zone completion in a cased well, which recovered 588 bbls/d of light crude oil, based on a 105- minute DST. No transient pressure analysis was carried out. Because of the relatively short duration of the DST, these results should be considered preliminary, until a longer duration well test is carried out to confirm deliverability. Upon successful completion of a longer duration test, this well is expected to be immediately equipped for production and the produced oil sold into the regional market; and work-over of the Ghina well to evaluate the previous Permian liquids-rich gas discovery and assess the economics of tie-in and field recovery and support a follow-up drilling campaign. As part of its development program, Bengal is moving ahead with establishing an early oil production system (an "EOPS") by refurbishing a secondhand trailer-based beam pump that will allow Bengal, in concert with frac tanks, to accelerate production and establish design parameters for further capital investment. Bengal believes that this approach will lower the risks of this cost-effective development of reserves by rightsizing facilities. Bengal expects to utilize the EOPS at both the Ramses and Caracal locations and believes that this solution is well suited to the Company's specific operated oil production needs.

The Company is currently finalizing reinstatement plans for its recently acquired 100% working interest in four PLs near to ATP 934 (the Company's 100% owned natural gas exploration block). While not currently producing, all PLs have existing wells indicating log pay, drill stem test results and/or gas production from the Permian formation. Bengal has identified four wells to be tested and re-completed for production in its first phase of development. Specifically, this program is expected to include the following development activities: recommissioning of the 26km pipeline, which the Company has 100% working interest in, to tie the previously producing Wareena liquids-rich gas wells into a nearby compression station accessing the Eastern Australia local and export market; work-over of the Ramses well which demonstrated both a Permian gas discovery and oil-zone completion in a cased well and recovered 588 bbls/d of light crude oil, based on a 105-minute drill stem test. No transient pressure analysis was carried out. Because of the relatively short duration of the DST, these results should be considered preliminary, until a longer duration well test is carried out to confirm deliverability. Upon completion of such a successful test, this well is expected to be immediately equipped for production and the oil sold into the regional market; work-over of the Ghina well to evaluate the previous Permian liquids-rich gas discovery and assess the economics of tie-in and field recovery; and twin drilling of the existing Karnak well which showed a liquids rich gas pay zone in the Permian formation. Bengal expects that with the application of the advanced underbalanced drilling techniques, which are now commonplace in the Cooper Basin, a successful new well could be immediately tied into nearby gathering infrastructure for commercial production.

Bengal Energy Ltd. Provides an Update on Ongoing Operational Matters Bengal Energy Ltd. provided an update on ongoing operational matters. Water Injection Pilot The Cuisinier pilot project is scheduled to commence active water injection in late January 2021. This program is designed to begin increasing pressure in the pool and thereby increase the expected oil recovery in both productivity and reserves. As injected volumes ramp up the project is expected to benefit from decreased water disposal fees. Farmin Activity The location for the previously announced Santos farmin well has been finalized with drilling expected in calendar H2 of 2021. The well, which has no cost to Bengal through drilling, is targeting liquids-rich natural gas from the Permian Toolachee and Patchawara formations. Access to production infrastructure is available a short distance away to the southeast. Development and Exploration Continued low commodity pricing resulted in no new development or exploration drilling during the 2020 calendar year. The new pool discovery made at the Cuisinier 29 well continued to produce at forecast rates and averaged approximately 80 bbls/d (net 24 bbls/d) during the period. As disclosed in Bengal's MD&A for the period ending September 30 2020, the Corporation received regulatory approval for a special amendment to the initial work program on ATP 934. As a condition of the approval of the special amendment, the Corporation agreed to relinquish an additional 17% of the acreage subject to the permit in addition to the 33% mandatory relinquishment for a total of 50% (240 sub-blocks) of the acreage at the end of the first term on the permit. The acreage subject to the 50% relinquishment was determined by Bengal as being the least prospective land from a technical perspective and with the most challenging surface access conditions. In return, the Corporation was granted a reduction in the total commitment from CAD 12.3 million to $1.2 million and does not expect to make any additional investments prior to the approval of a second term on the ATP. The Company is currently working with the Government of Queensland on amending the commitment requirements and is expecting a resolution by the end of February 2021. Production Volumes The Company's share of total production in calendar Fourth Quarter 2020 was 19,423 bbls, which is a 25% decline from the 25,758 bbls produced in calendar Fourth Quarter 2019. Production in calendar fourth quarter of 2020 averaged 211 bbls/d compared to 280 bbls/d produced in the same period in the prior calendar year. Normal production declines, reduced capital spending and conversion of the C24 well from a producer to a water injection well all contributed to the production decline. Pricing Brent crude oil pricing improved from an average of $43.37/bbl in calendar Third Quarter 2020 to an average of $45.24/bbl in calendar Fourth Quarter 2020. Average US Brent pricing year to date in 2021 has been $54.98/bbl. Reported Earnings • Nov 15
