Project Icewine 3D Seismic Commences
88 Energy Limited ("88 Energy", "the Company", "Operator") (ASX, AIM: 88E) is pleased to provide an update on Project Icewine, located onshore North Slope of Alaska.

Highlights
· Icewine 3D seismic survey commenced across Project Icewine acreage

Project Icewine Operations Update
3D seismic acquisition has commenced across the Western Margin of the Project Icewine acreage, located on the North Slope of Alaska. The 3D seismic will firm up drilling candidates identified on conventional prospectivity from interpretation of ~ 2350 line km of modern (88E, 2016) and reprocessed 2D seismic data.

The conventional prospective resource potential (mean unrisked), as at 31 January 2018, is estimated by the Company as 1.9 billion barrels gross; 1.05 billion barrels net to 88 Energy.

The 3D survey will be acquired using the vibroseis slip-sweep method, covering an area of approximately 460 km2. Acquisition parameters have been zoned to optimise fold and imaging across significant conventional leads already identified in areas that historically have imaged poorly due to permafrost and the presence of icelakes.

Operations commenced on February 7, 2018 (Alaska time) with parameter testing designed to ensure a high quality acquisition. The main 3D acquisition effort is now underway and is estimated to take approximately 45 days.

Managing Director, Dave Wall: “The 88E team have been extremely busy on multiple fronts over the last few months, with refinancing of debt, exercise of options, expanding our lease position, planning for, and acquisition of, two 3D seismic surveys and, of course, the re-opening of the Icewine#2 well.
The strong support for the recent option exercise has meant we have been able to accelerate assessment of the Yukon Gold leases, with the costs of the planned 3D acquisition being less than half of the monies receipted from the option exercise process.
The remainder of 2018 promises to be pivotal for the Company and its shareholders, with near-term activity related to the Icewine#2 flow test, expected prior to mid-year, results from two 3D seismic acquisitions and one or more farm-out transactions targeted for the second half of the year.”

Proposed placing to raise up to A$17 million
88 Energy Limited ("88 Energy" or the "Company") (ASX, AIM: 88E) today announces that it proposes to raise approximately A$12 million with the ability to take oversubscriptions of up to A$5 million (before expenses) pursuant to a conditional placing of new ordinary shares of no par value in the Company (or, as the case may be, depository interests representing such ordinary shares) (the "Placing Shares") at a price at or around A$0.037 (equivalent to £0.02) (the "Placing Price"), (together, the "Placing"). The Placing Price is equivalent to a discount of eleven percent to the volume weighted average price on the Australian Securities Exchange ("ASX") for the thirty days to 27 April 2018, being the latest practicable date prior to this announcement. The Company also announces that its shares have been placed in a trading halt on the ASX pending the release of an announcement in relation to the completion of the Placing.

The Placing is being conducted in the UK through a bookbuilding process (the "Bookbuild"), which is being managed by Cenkos Securities plc ("Cenkos") in the UK and Hartleys Limited ("Hartleys") in Australia.

Operations Update
88 Energy Limited (ASX: 88E) ("88 Energy" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the following update for its projects located on the North Slope of Alaska.

Highlights
· Production testing at Icewine#2 scheduled to recommence 11th June 2018

o Site clearance works commenced at Franklin Bluffs pad
o Final preparations for mobilisation of test equipment underway

· 3D seismic processing on schedule

Project Icewine - Icewine#2 Production Testing
Site works have commenced to clear snow and ice from the Franklin Bluffs gravel pad to enable access to the Icewine#2 wellhead. Pressure gauges will then be retrieved from downhole and data anaylsed to determine if any reservoir degradation is observed, which may require remedial action such as reperforation of the target intervals. Concurrently, test equipment including separators, tanks and nitrogen lift units will be mobilized to site ahead of the scheduled commencement of flow testing on the 11th June 2018.

The flow testing program has been designed to utilize nitrogen lift to assist the removal of up to an additional 4,000 barrels of fluid from the HRZ reservoir. It is anticipated that this will enable the hydrocarbons in the reservoir to flow naturally to surface at a representative rate. Based on modelling of the reservoir pressure and fracture conductivity, this is estimated to take 10-14 days. The well will then continue to be flowed back to ascertain drawdown pressure and decline rate.

3D Seismic Processing
Processing of recently acquired 3D seismic at both Project Icewine and the Yukon Gold leases is progressing as per schedule.

Early products from the Project Icewine 3D survey are expected to be received mid-year prior to commencement of a formal farm-out process related to the conventional prospectivity already identified over the Western Margin leases at the project.

The Yukon Gold 3D data is expected in Q4 2018 and will assist in assessment of the potential of the Yukon Gold oil discovery as well as delineation of any additional potential on the leases.

Managing Director, Dave Wall, commented: "The team remains busy on several fronts; however, focus is now clearly on the imminent recommencement of production testing at the Icewine#2 well.

Operations Update
88 Energy Limited (ASX: 88E) ("88 Energy" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the following update for its projects located on the North Slope of Alaska.

Highlights
· Site clearance works completed at Franklin Bluffs pad

· Memory gauges retrieved successfully

o Pressure build-up analysis underway

· Commencement of flowback at Icewine#2 on schedule for 11th June

Project Icewine - Icewine#2 Production Testing
Site works have concluded at the Franklin Bluffs Pad ahead of the scheduled commencement of flow testing of the Icewine#2 well on the 11th June 2018. Memory gauges from 4,000' downhole were successfully retrieved on the 25th June. Processing and analysis of the pressure build-up data will be completed by early next week. The wireline unit also "tagged bottom" confirming that there has been no build-up of debris in the tubing during the shut-in period.

Pressure at the wellhead was measured as between just under 3,000 psi (from the the wellhead gauge) and 3,500 psi based on a pressure reading of 5,200 psi at 4,000' (from the downhole pressure gauges). These pressure readings are positive in regards to maintenance of downhole pressure, as expected.

The flow testing program has been designed to utilize nitrogen lift to assist the removal of up to an additional 4,000 barrels of fluid from the HRZ reservoir. It is anticipated that this will enable the hydrocarbons in the reservoir to flow naturally to surface at a representative rate.

Highlights
· Pressure build-up analysis indicates no deterioration in fracture half-length

· Commencement of flowback at Icewine#2 on schedule for 11th June

Project Icewine - Icewine#2 Production Testing
Post the retrieval of downhole gauges in Icewine#2 on 25th May, pressure build-up data was subsequently downloaded on the 30th May and processed. This data was then analysed and interpreted to determine whether any degradation of the fracture system created by the artificial stimulation had occurred during the shut-in period.

The analysis showed that the fracture geometries of the first pressure build-up, (July-August 2017), when compared to those from the second pressure build-up over Winter, (September 2017-June 2018), are very similar, with estimated fracture half-length of 504ft and 500ft, respectively. This is encouraging and indicates that the fracture system created has not undergone degradation. Given this, and the evidence of no build-up of debris in the wellbore, no remedial action will be required prior to commencement of flowback.

Mobilisation of equipment and personnel for the re-commencement of flowback of the Icewine#2 well, utilising artificial lift, is now in full swing and operations remain on schedule for start-up on the 11th June.

· Flowback commenced at Icewine#2

Project Icewine - Icewine#2 Production Testing
Flowback commenced, on schedule, at 22:30 11th June (AK time) to clean-up stimulation fluids from the Icewine#2 borehole with a well head pressure of 3,000 psi and flowback rate of 253 barrels of water per day. As at 1230 12th June (AK time), wellhead pressure was 816 psi with a flowback rate of 160 barrels of water per day. Based on the pressures and flow rates, there is no indication of any impediment to flow through the perforations at this stage. A production log has been run to confirm this, and the results will be disclosed to the market once the report has been finalised.

At this early stage of flowback, the fluid has not been run through the separator, so the hydrocarbon rate has not been measured. Flowback through the separator and gas chromatograph is expected to commence today.

The velocity string, comprised of 1.75" coiled tubing, is ready to be installed and connected to nitrogen lift utilising a membrane unit, currently set-up on location.

· Yukon Gold and Western Margin leases formally awarded

Project Icewine - Icewine#2 Production Testing

As at 0530 17th June (AK time), wellhead pressure was 370psi with a flowback rate of 166 barrels of water per day on a variable choke setting, in order to manage wellhead pressure (currently 28/64").

88 Energy Limited (ASX: 88E) ("88 Energy" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the following update for its projects located on the North Slope of Alaska.

Highlights
· Nitrogen lift continues at Icewine#2

Project Icewine - Icewine#2 Production Testing
As at 1730 21st June (AK time), the flowback rate was 50 barrels of water per day on a variable choke setting (currently 36/64"). Wellhead pressure has been managed lower to 75psi to reduce back pressure in the system.

Since the last update on the 18th June, adjustments were made to the flowback system to determine the optimal settings for the nitrogen lift operation. Consequently, flowback rates fluctuated between an average rate of 50 barrels of water per day to 120 barrels of water per day. The percentage of hydrocarbon gas in the flowback dropped to 5% at one stage due to an increased nitrogen injection rate, 300 scf/m, which is deemed to have limited the flowback of both water and gas from the borehole. The reduction in productivity is attributed to an effective downhole choke created between the 4.5" annulus and the 1.75" velocity string, limiting the flowback when the nitrogen rate is too high. The nitrogen injection rate is now being reduced back to 150 scf/m and should result in an increase in flowback of water and gas from the borehole.

During this period there has been no meaningful change to the composition of the returned gas and fluid. Flowback is considered to be 100% stimulation fluid and gas.
