IMO both OEX and Zeta should grow up and settle their differences amicably and in compliance with Gov of India, without all the Aussie courtroom drama.

With India fast becoming a huge O&G consumer over the next few decades, both OEX & Zeta stand to benefit substantially from their partnership. OR is there more to this than meets the eye; are strategic and tactical moves being played out in pursuit of 'A Cunning Plan'.

Something does not smell right in this sudden turn of events.

Funding - Zeta Deferred Settlement Update

and Legal Proceedings

Further to its announcement yesterday, Oilex Ltd (Oilex or the Company) provides a further update on the deferred element of the previously announced capital raising (announcement dated 3 August 2015), being the issue of shares and convertible notes to Zeta Resources Limited (Zeta).

Pursuant to arrangements agreed with Zeta, Zeta was to subscribe for 124,019,608 new ordinary shares at a price of A$0.0418 per share, to enable the issue of those shares to be settled by no later than today (the Deferred Shares). Zeta has failed to settle the subscription for the Deferred Shares. Oilex will be considering, together with its external legal counsel, the remedies available to it arising out of Zeta's failure to settle.

Oilex has also been informed by Zeta that Zeta has today commenced proceedings against it in the Federal Court of Australia. Zeta has also made an announcement on the ASX to notify the market of these proceedings. The proceedings have not yet been formally served on Oilex, although Oilex has received from Zeta copies of the documents which Zeta asserts have been filed at Court. Oilex is currently considering the content of those documents.

Shares in Oilex remain trading on AIM but are subject to a trading halt on the ASX pursuant to Listing Rule 17.1.

India Workover Update

l Cambay-20 workover successfully completed and workover rig demobilised

l Cambay-19z associated gas at surface, used to power the Hydraulic Lift Pump (HLP)

l Workover on Cambay-77H commenced using electric wireline unit

Oilex Ltd is pleased to provide the following Workover update:

Cambay-20

The Cambay-20 workover commenced on 5 November and was completed on 16 November, on schedule and under budget, including partial replacement of the production tubing. Installation of the HLP unit and downhole pump has commenced to optimise production from the well. Cambay-20, an intermittent oil and gas producer, is located approximately 200 metres from Cambay-77H and connected to Cambay-73 gas production facilities via a temporary flowline to recover gas for sale during intermittent oil production.

Cambay-19z

The pumping rate for the removal of workover brine was reduced from the anticipated 40bbls per day as a result of mechanical downtime required to adjust the HLP automatic controls and replace a hydraulic seal. Although Cambay-19z is an oil producer from the Eocene (EP IV) formation, associated gas has arrived at surface with sufficient pressure and volume to power the HLP. During the HLP downtime, Cambay-19z has exhibited self-flow bypassing the downhole pump again confirming good potential deliverability. Cambay-19z is located approximately 1.4 km to the west of Cambay-77H.

Cambay-77H

Cambay 77-H workover has commenced with the placement of a downhole production packer using an electric wireline unit. This packer isolates the frac'd reservoir section of the well such that the frac tree can be replaced with a production tree and production tubing can be installed. A workover rig is expected to be operational on site around 25 November. As previously announced, Cambay-77H will be connected to the Cambay-73 facilities via the temporary flowline with gas sold into the low-pressure market in the immediate vicinity of the field.

The Cambay-60 workover will commence after completion of Cambay-77H. Cambay-60 tested gas and condensate from the OSII formation but was never put into production. Some surface equipment requires replacement to ensure that the well is in optimal condition and its deliverability confirmed.

Other potential workover candidates

The candidates for possible workover are as previously stated. Subject to ongoing discussions with GSPC regarding cashcall payments, a decision related to further workovers after Cambay-60 will be made.

l Cambay-70 - located adjacent to Cambay-77H pad, a gas and oil producer from the Eocene/MBS formation

l Cambay-15 - a former gas producer from the OSII formation that may still be capable of servicing the low-pressure market.


Managing Director of Oilex, Ron Miller, said;

"The Cambay workover campaign continues with the successful completion of activities at Cambay-20 on schedule and under budget. Gas at surface, sufficient to run the HLP unit, is a positive sign and a significant cost reduction compared to purchasing LPG. These workovers deliver low cost increases to our gas sales and cash flow and the performance of the Operations team to deliver them on schedule and under budget is very pleasing."

Oilex Workover Of Cambay-20 Well Completed On Schedule, Under Budget
17 November, 2015 | 2:03PM

LONDON (Alliance News) - Oilex Ltd said Tuesday that the workover of the Cambay-20 well in India was completed on schedule and under budget.

Installation of a hydraulic lift pump unit and downhole pump has begun at Cambay-20 to optimise production from the well, Oilex said.

A workover campaign at Cambay-77H has begun, the company said, and a workover of Cambay-60 will begin after the completion of Cambay-77H. Other candidates for possible workover, which Oilex will decide on after Cambay-60, include Cambay-70, which is located adjacent to Cambay-77H, and Cambay-15, a former gas producer that may still be capable of servicing the low-pressure market.

"The Cambay workover campaign continues with the successful completion of activities at Cambay-20 on schedule and under budget," said Managing Director Ron Miller. "Gas at surface, sufficient to run the Hydraulic Lift Pump unit, is a positive sign and a significant cost reduction compared to purchasing liquefied petroleum gas. These workovers deliver low cost increases to our gas sales and cash flow and the performance of the Operations team to deliver them on schedule and under budget is very pleasing."

Shares in Oilex were down 8.3% at 0.550 pence Tuesday afternoon.

Last week, Oilex said trading had been suspended in its Australian-listed shares whilst it evaluates documents it has received from Zeta Resources Ltd containing information about allegations made against the company in the Federal Court of Australia. Oilex said Zeta had accused the company of failing to "disclose material information" prior to Zeta investing in the company in July.

Chairman's Address to Shareholders


Good morning ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the 2015 Oilex Annual General Meeting.

We regret to advise that, as previously announced, Mr Sundeep Bhandari has withdrawn his nomination for re-election as a director pursuant to Resolution 3 of the Notice of Annual General Meeting. In addition, there has been a large negative vote recorded against all of the resolutions covering the remuneration report (Resolution 1), replacement of the Constitution (Resolution 2) and the re-election of Jeffrey Auld as an Independent Non-Executive Director (Resolution 4), all of which will be decided by a poll. Should Resolution 4 not be carried at this meeting, this will necessitate the appointment of an additional director following this AGM to ensure the Company complies with Australian Corporations Law requirements.

The remaining Board members recognise the dissatisfaction demonstrated by these votes, and we are setting in train the following measures to address some of those concerns;

· The Company is reviewing its strategic plan and financing of our core asset at Cambay.

· Progress negotiation of a commercial resolution of the Cambay Joint Venture program, cash calls and potential joint venture restructure.

· Defending the Zeta litigation with the assistance of external counsel.

· Review existing board structure and participants, and appoint suitably qualified and experienced directors.

· Reviewing Executive management and staffing levels appropriate to the current amended development timetable, including review of ongoing operating costs.

The current year has seen a continuation in the softening of the global resources and energy markets. During this challenging time the Board and management has continued the transformation of the Company into an emerging energy supplier in the Cambay Basin located in Gujarat State, India.

2014/15 has been a landmark year for your company with the delivery of the proof-of-concept well, Cambay 77-H, and the reporting of significant independently certified reserves. Oilex is the first company to successfully apply proven North American drilling and completion technology to tight oil and gas in India in the Cambay Basin, India. The success of this step-change technology has resulted in an upgrade to the reserves and contingent resources of our Cambay Field.

Alongside this technological success at Cambay, the Company has made significant progress on the work-over component of the approved 2015/16 work programme.

The Cambay Field is located adjacent to an existing gas pipeline grid with surplus capacity in the State of Gujarat and this should facilitate cost-effective commercialisation of Cambay natural gas. While global energy markets are experiencing significant price constraints, being close to existing infrastructure and growing local energy demand should ensure that domestic prices will be somewhat resilient to external price pressures.

With delivery of the proof of concept well at Cambay, Oilex is now progressing the transition from junior explorer to producer. This transition will not be without its challenges. Having achieved the technical proof of concept and independently certified reserves, the focus and priorities of the Board and management are increasingly concentrated on the commercial, regulatory and funding challenges that commencing the next phase of production from Cambay will bring. In addition to addressing the structural joint venture funding issues that have arisen.

In July 2015, we announced a capital funding programme to raise A$30 million (before expenses) to fund the approved 2015/16 work programme in India, estimated minimum work commitments in the Canning Basin and working capital requirements. This included a A$9.4 million deferred settlement component with Zeta Resources Limited, who currently have a 10.3% shareholding in Oilex.

Earlier this month we advised that Zeta had failed to settle the subscription for the deferred settlement portion of its placement and convertible note and was pursuing legal action against Oilex. With the assistance of external legal counsel, we are presently considering the remedies available to us and we will act in the best interests of all shareholders to defend any legal action.

This development has obviously had a significant impact on the company's share price, however in the short term our focus is to complete the current Cambay work-overs and the Bhandut-3 production facilities to increase our net revenue stream. Both programmes are in progress at present and completion of these activities is an important step in transforming Oilex into a sustainable business based upon production, cash flow and reserves growth.

In the medium to longer term our focus remains the commercialisation of significant hydrocarbon reserves located in an energy market with strong fundamentals. While the schedule for the approved 2015/16 drilling campaign at Cambay is currently being reconsidered with our Joint Venture partner, in addition to their outstanding cash calls, we anticipate that these wells will be commercially viable and the first steps in the field development plan, and should ultimately create significant value for all shareholders and stakeholders through delivering domestically sourced energy to the India market offsetting imported LNG. The Board is also actively reviewing alternative funding opportunities to assist in realising these goals.

Your Board believes that India offers a compelling investment proposition as the world's fourth largest energy consumer with a large unsatisfied gas demand. India is forecast to be the world's fastest growing large economy over the next two years. Strong growth, combined with a growing middle class forecast to be ~475 million people by 2030 is anticipated to result in significant growth in energy and natural gas consumption.

On behalf of the Board I wish to record our appreciation for the support and dedication of our Executive Management, staff, Joint Venture partners, contractors, local communities, shareholders and stakeholders during the year and look forward to the successful restructuring of the Board, capital structure and commercialisation of the Cambay Field.

In addition, I would like to record mine and the Board's appreciation for the significant contribution made by Mr Sundeep Bhandari who has decided to retire as a non-executive director from the close of this Annual General Meeting.

Yours Sincerely,

MDJ Cozijn

Chairman

Oilex to review strategy after shareholder AGM revolt
Jamie Ashcroft
08:24 25 Nov 2015

“The remaining board members recognise the dissatisfaction demonstrated by these votes,” chairman Max Cozijn said.


Oilex (LON:OEX, ASX:OEX) has launched a review of its strategy and financing plans after shareholders voted down all resolutions at the company’s AGM in Australia today.

The vote means Jeffrey Auld has not been re-elected as an independent director, nor has Sundeep Bhandari who withdrew his nomination. Shareholders also voted against resolutions relating to director remuneration and changes to the company’s constitution.

“The remaining board members recognise the dissatisfaction demonstrated by these votes,” chairman Max Cozijn said in a stock market statement.

Cozijn told investors that the company would now review its strategic plan and financing of the Cambay field, its core asset.

It will progress negotiation of a commercial resolution to Cambay joint venture, to address its partner’s outstanding cash calls and a potential restructuring, he added.

And he said the company is also going to review its existing board structure, as well as its executive management and staffing levels.

The company must also defend the Zeta litigation, with the assistance of external counsel.

“Earlier this month we advised that Zeta had failed to settle the subscription for the deferred settlement portion of its placement and convertible note and was pursuing legal action against Oilex,” Cozijn said.

“With the assistance of external legal counsel, we are presently considering the remedies available to us and we will act in the best interests of all shareholders to defend any legal action.

“This development has obviously had a significant impact on the company's share price, however in the short term our focus is to complete the current Cambay work-overs and the Bhandut-3 production facilities to increase our net revenue stream.”

Cambay Workover Update

l Cambay-77H gas is being sold at a peak rate exceeding 110 boepd, via Cambay-73 facilities

l Cambay-19z oil production ~12 bopd plus associated gas

l Cambay-20 Hydraulic Lift Pump (HLP) installed

Oilex Ltd is pleased to provide the following workover update:

Production from the Cambay Field is now ~75 boepd and may increase in line with demand from the local low pressure gas market now that Cambay-77H is online.

Cambay-77H

The Cambay-77H workover is complete and, based upon cumulative production since restarting the well, is now averaging ~51boepd via the flowline connection to Cambay-73 facilities. The well is producing through a 1/64 inch choke and the tubing head pressure is ~2,600 psig and steady. Production from Cambay-77H is meeting the demand from the local low pressure gas market, including a peak demand rate of ~0.500MMscfd for ~1 hour period that occurs twice daily. At peak demand, gas is being sold from Cambay-77H at greater than 110boepd using the average condensate to gas ratio (CGR) of ~55bbls/MMscf since restarting the well.

The well performance is being closely monitored subsequent to recommencing production and a fuller understanding of its deliverability potential will be gained from ongoing production. Although demand for local gas fluctuates according to peak demand times as noted above, it is anticipated that overall gas demand from the local low pressure gas market may gradually increase now that Cambay-77H is online. An increase in the market overall will be dependent on successful marketing efforts in India. This marketing is underway.

As anticipated, the newly installed production tubing has improved the flow performance of the well compared to flowback and testing operations during 2014. The workover rig installed the production tubing without having to kill the well, this is believed to be the first time this activity has been successfully accomplished in a horizontal multi-stage frac'd well in India.

Cambay-19z

Cambay-19z is now producing oil at ~12 bopd plus associated gas from the Eocene (EP IV) formation, and is within expectations. The associated gas is used at site to power the pump. The operation to reposition the downhole pump has been successful. The well has also been fitted with a chemical injection system to improve flow performance. Cambay-19z is located approximately 1.4 km to the west of Cambay-77H.

Cambay-20

Installation of the HLP unit and downhole pump is complete and pumping out of the brine has commenced. Gas has been detected at surface in a similar manner to Cambay-19z. Cambay-20 has previously been an intermittent oil and gas producer without using a downhole pump. It is located approximately 200 metres from Cambay-77H and associated gas not used to power the pump is transmitted to the Cambay-73 gas treatment facilities.



Other potential workover candidates

The future possible workover list has ~ 6 new candidates for consideration. As previously announced, subject to ongoing discussions with our Joint Venture Partner regarding cashcall payments, a decision will be made in relation to further workovers after the Cambay-60 workover is complete.



Managing Director of Oilex, Ron Miller, said;

"The Cambay workover campaign continues to deliver positive results with oil production from Cambay-19z meeting expectations and the deliverability of Cambay-77H gas production enhanced with successful installation of the production tubing. Overall, in relation to the Cambay Field, Oilex is now focussing on its objective of achieving a production rate target of ~150 boepd."

India Operations Update

l Cambay-77H produced ~715 boe during first 10 days, ~2.7MMscf gas and 252 bbls of condensate

l Cambay-77H gas sales averaged ~0.267MMscfd with a maximum peak rate of 0.572MMscfd

l The Bhandut-3 well and the associated gas production facilities are ready for start-up

Oilex Ltd is pleased to provide the following update:

Cambay-77H

Since restarting production, the Cambay-77H initial average production rate for 10 days (IP10) was ~71.5boepd. Although demand for gas fluctuates on a regular basis, as anticipated, production from Cambay-77H has gradually increased from 51boepd as previously announced on 7 December 2015. The well continues producing through a 1/64 inch choke and the average tubing head pressure for the same period was ~2,400psig. The condensate gas ratio (CGR) increased to an average of ~92.5bbls/MMscf from the previously reported 55bbls/MMscf. It is expected that with further production, the CGR may decrease to the anticipated 40-50bbls/MMscf as the tubing head pressure decreases.

Gas is sold into the low-pressure market in the immediate vicinity of the field. The well continues to meet the local low pressure market including a peak demand rate of ~0.500MMscfd for ~1 hour that occurs twice daily. Further increases in the overall market will be dependent on successful marketing efforts that are currently underway.

Ongoing production from Cambay-77H will allow a fuller understanding of its deliverability potential from the Y zone and the longer term CGR. This production data will be used to update the numerical simulation model created as part of the Independent Resource Assessment completed by RISC in April 2015 (refer ASX announcement dated 16 April 2015).

Cambay 73

Cambay-73 remains shut in, as Cambay 77H can meet current demand from the low-pressure market.

Bhandut Field

The Bhandut-3 well and the associated gas production facilities are ready for start-up (see attached photographs). The gas buyer is responsible for construction of a flowline to deliver the gas for further processing. This work has commenced and is estimated to be complete in early January 2016 at which time Bhandut-3 will commence commercial production. It is planned that Bhandut-3 will start-up at 0.7MMscfd and its performance will be closely monitored.

Joint Venture Matters

Oilex is continuing to work closely with our joint venture partner via regular meetings to resolve the outstanding receivable amount owed to the joint venture, and rescheduling the drilling of Cambay-78H and Cambay-80H wells.



Managing Director of Oilex, Ron Miller, said;

"Cambay continues to deliver positive results with Cambay-77H gas production gradually increasing as the low pressure gas market demand permits. While the higher than anticipated CGR at present is positive, ongoing production data is necessary to determine its sustainability. Another major milestone for 2015 has been achieved with Bhandut-3 and the gas production facilities ready for start-up. Oilex continues to focus on growing production and cashflow in India underpinned by a significant independently assessed Reserve and Resource base."

OPERATIONS REVIEW

OVERVIEW

Despite the depressed global oil price, the Company continues to focus on completion of the Cambay workovers and production from Bhandut-3 to improve its short term revenue stream, as imported LNG is the only major competitor for the Company's Indian domestic gas production and therefore gas prices have remained somewhat resilient. The Company continues to seek a solution to progress the development of the broader Cambay project, taking into account the joint venture partner funding arrears and the difficult financial markets for funding early stage development projects.

HEALTH, SAFETY, SECURITY AND ENVIRONMENT

No Lost Time Incidents recorded during the quarter.

TOTAL NET OIL AND GAS PRODUCTION - 324 BBLS and 5.5 MMscf for the quarter (~1,278 boe)

The Cambay Field delivered net oil and gas production of 324 bbls and 5.5 MMscf for the three months to 31 December. This is a decrease of 115 boe on the previous quarter, reflecting lower offtake from small variations in the buyer consumption over the quarter.

At the end of the quarter, Bhandut Field production had not commenced due to a delay by the gas buyer in completing the pipeline installation.

During 2015 the Company implemented a plan to target a daily production rate of 340 boepd gross from Cambay and Bhandut Fields. Production during the December quarter was below the plan due to the delay in commencement of Bhandut-3 production, delays in undertaking workovers as a result of unpaid cash calls and constraints on the existing gas buyer. The Company will assess a new targeted daily production rate after commencement of Bhandut-3 production and an assessment of the local economic parameters.

CAMBAY FIELD, GUJARAT, INDIA

(Oilex: Operator and 45% interest)

The India workover campaign is targeting incremental oil and gas production from existing wells that will contribute cash flow to the Indian operations. Cambay-19z is now producing oil at ~12 bopd plus associated gas from the Eocene (EP-IV) formation, and is within expectations. The associated gas is used at site to power the pump. The operation to reposition the downhole pump was successfully completed during the quarter. The well has also been fitted with a chemical injection system to improve flow performance. Cambay-19z is located approximately 1.4 km to the west of Cambay-77H.

During the quarter, installation of the HLP unit and downhole pump at Cambay-20 was completed and pumping out of the brine had commenced. Gas had been detected at surface in a similar manner to Cambay-19z and influx from the reservoir to the well bore is still being assessed. Cambay-20 has previously been an intermittent oil and gas producer without using a downhole pump.

Production and Facilities

Cambay-73

Cambay-73 remains shut in, as Cambay-77H can meet gas buyer's current demand in the low-pressure market. Pressure and production volume measurements are continually recorded to provide further information about the Y Zone reservoir.

Cambay-77H

During the quarter, the Company completed the workover at Cambay-77H which included replacement of the frac tree with a production tree and installation of production tubing.

Since restarting production, Cambay-77H has gradually increased from 51 boepd. The initial average production rate for 10 days (IP10) was ~71.5 boepd and average IP10 condensate gas ratio (CGR) was ~92.5 bbls/MMscf. Production for 30 days was achieved on 4 January 2016 and Cambay-77H averaged ~70 boepd, meeting the buyer's demand, with an average tubing head pressure of 1,851psig and the CGR remained stable averaging ~90 bbls/MMscf. With further production, it is still expected that the CGR may decrease to the anticipated 40-50 bbls/MMscf as the tubing head pressure decreases.

Cambay-78H and Cambay-80H

As previously advised, our joint venture partner has formally indicated to the Company that it wished to vary the approved work programme. In light of this and the change in the Company's funding arrangements resulting from non-receipt in November 2015 of the deferred settlement portion of the capital raising from Zeta Resources Limited, approved by Shareholders on 12 August 2015, the commencement of the approved two well drilling programme, including tendering, will be delayed. Any change to the approved work programme for the Joint Venture agreed between the parties requires subsequent approval by the Government of India (GOI), under the terms of the Cambay Production Sharing Contract, and will be announced to the market at that time.

Cambay Gas Market

Cambay-77H gas continues to be sold into the low-pressure gas market in the immediate vicinity of the field partially serviced by the gas buyer and has a peak demand rate of ~0.57 MMscfd. The Company has been monitoring the licensing process by the GOI for expansion of a City Gas Distribution Network for the Anand Geographical Area (Area) which is ~1,900 km2. The Cambay Field is located within the Area and has a natural competitive advantage to imported LNG, which is currently used to supply gas within the Area.

The award of the license to upgrade and enhance the gas distribution network is anticipated to be made during Q1 2016. Under these arrangements, existing and new commercial/industrial customers having a gas demand up to ~2.5 MMscfd are expected to be supplied by the licensee who sources gas from upstream producers, such as the Cambay Joint Venture.
