EXPLORATION, APPRAISAL AND NEW VENTURES

Gas Flow Enhancement
The company completed a low-costwork-over program which resulted in modest increases in gas flows from two existing natural gas wells. Other workovers are being assessed.
Borba Natural Gas Prospect
The drilling of the Borba well has been delayed by practical and risk considerations associated with uncertainties around COVID-19 limitations on personnel and equipment deployment. However, planning and design work for the well continues. When the risks can be better quantified and managed, the Company will provide further timing guidance.

Planning for the drilling of the Borba Prospect in 2020 will continue to be pursued.
The ongoing review of potential conventional oil & gas projects that have a strategic fit with Sacgasco's current assets.

About Sacgasco Limited (ASX. SGC)
Sacgasco Limited (ASX: SGC) is an Australian-based energy company appraising, developing and flowing clean conventional natural gas in the Sacramento Basin, onshore California.
SGC has an extensive portfolio of conventional-reservoir, natural gas flowing wells; and prospects at both exploration and appraisal stages, including Tcf natural gas opportunities.
The Company is targeting gas supply to the premium local Californian gas market and burgeoning LNG market in North America.
Sacgasco is of the view that the size of prospects in California have been the potential to supply both domestic California natural gas and export LNG markets including those to Asia.
Sacgasco's strategy is to find and develop under-valued and under-explored opportunities connected to under-supplied oil and gas markets with attractive product prices.

Leases:
US exploration is conducted on leases grant by Mineral Right owners, in SGC's case primarily private individuals or groups. Leases can vary in size from very small parcels (part of an acre) to large landholdings (covering a few square miles). Leases generally are for 5 years and rentals are paid annually. There are no firm work commitments associated with the leases. Some leases are 'Held By Production' (HBP) and royalties are paid to mineral right owners in lieu of rentals. SGC has not listed all it leases as it is impractical and not meaningful for potential project value assessment in a conventional natural gas play. A detailed listing of leases may also lead to a loss of competitive advantage and consequent reduced value to SGC shareholders.
