1.1. 1.1.1.
Fairway Project – Howard & Glasscock Counties (Target 45%‐60% WI) Drilling BOA 12 #3 (Target 60% WI) BOA 12 #3 is located approximately 550m (1,800 ft) south‐east of the Company’s 2011 BOA 12 #1 well in Howard County. Drilling commenced on 25 February with the well reaching Total Depth at 3,101m (10,175 ft) on 20 March 2014. The well has been completed as an oil producer. A fracture stimulation of the Wolfberry section has been scheduled for early May 2014 after testing in the Fusselman Carbonate did not recover commercial quantities of oil. BOA North #4 (Target 60% WI) BOA North #4 is located approximately 550m (1,800 ft) north‐east of the Company’s 2011 BOA 12 #1 well. Drilling commenced on 25 March and concluded with the well reaching Total Depth at 3,093.8m (10,150 ft) on 10 April 2014. Preliminary analysis of wireline log data has confirmed that the well has encountered potential pay in the Fusselman Carbonate, which has been intersected 8.5 metres (28 feet) updip to the BOA 12 #1 well, as well as in numerous zones within the Wolfberry section. The well has been completed as an oil producer, with testing of the Fusselman section expected to be underway by early May.

Quarterly Report for the quarter ending 31 March 2014 Wagga Wagga #2 (Target 45% WI) The Wagga Wagga #2 well is situated approximately 706 metres (2,316 ft) south of Wagga Wagga #1 in Glasscock County. The well is to be drilled to a depth of approximately 3,048m (10,000 ft) to test the Fusselman and Wolfberry sections. Drilling commenced on 16 April 2014 and at the time of writing the well was drilling ahead at a depth of 1,790m (5,872 ft).
1.1.2. Completions
Sydney #2 (Target 60% WI)
Sydney #2 is located approximately 800 metres east of Sydney #1 in Glasscock County and targeted both the Wolfberry and Fusselman sections. The well has been initially completed as an oil producer from the Fusselman Carbonate with an Initial Production rate of 316 BOEPD (270 BOPD with 277 mfcgd) announced on 19 February 2014 that climbed to a peak of 520 BOEPD (415 BOPD plus 640 mcfgd – a production record for Target Energy) before easing back and stabilising at approximately 250 BOEPD (200 BOPD with 300 mcfgd). Wagga Wagga #1 (Target 45% WI) At Wagga Wagga #1, a 7‐stage fracture stimulation of the Wolfberry section was performed on 28 March 2014. The stimulation covered an interval of 470 metres, using approximately 25,000 barrels of load water. To date approximately 45% of the load water has been recovered, with the well averaging 57 BOPD with 127 BWPD over the last seven days (Table 1), with the water cut gradually decreasing.

Net Production is scaled to Target’s Working Interest, before royalties; mmcf = million cubic feet; mmcfgd = million cubic feet of gas per day; BO = barrels of oil, BOPD = barrels of oil per day, BOEPD = barrels of oil equivalent per day (Target reports a thermal equivalent when combining gas and oil production, where 1BOE = 6 mcf).
+ The Appendix 5B “Mining exploration entity and oil and gas exploration entity quarterly report” shows revenue for the quarter of $475,000. Revenue proceeds are received two months after the month of production. Therefore the revenue reported in the Appendix 5B relates to production between November 2013 and January 2104, a period in which Permian Basin production was adversely affected by adverse weather and shutdowns. The significant Sydney #2 well did not commence production until late January 2014.
