  3. Investment Overview  Focused solely on a world class oil asset on the Central North Slope of Alaska with dual conventional and unconventional liquids-rich objectives  High working interest (78% post spud of first well) and Operatorship on very material 98,182 gross contiguous acre position onshore Alaska  Two world class oil exploration opportunities:  Unconventional  492 MMBO estimated prospective resource* (gross mean unrisked at Project Icewine)  To be drilled in October 2015  Conventional  4.0 BBO estimated remaining recoverable** on the Central North Slope  Recent nearby exploration success validates world class prospectivity  Multiple wells in adjacent acreage have potential to re-rate Project Icewine conventional play  Fully funded for upcoming Icewine #1 exploration well  A$10.5 million cash at bank  88E cash component of Icewine #1 well cost US$5.7m, ~US$4.8m remaining to be paid  US$50 million funding facility secured with Bank of America  Remainder of US$16.9m Icewine #1 well to be funded via facility  Globally unique risk/reward with State of Alaska cash rebates on exploration (85% in CY15; 75% 1H16; 35% thereafter)  Significant activity over the coming months will test the world class unconventional and conventional potential of Project Icewine, and provide ongoing regular newsflow for 88 Energy shareholders 3. *Source: DeGolyer & MacNaughton, Independent Prospective Resources Report as of December 31, 2014 ** USGS 2013

  5. Project Icewine Highlights PREMIER ACREAGE POSITION IN STRATEGIC LOCATION Strategic, Tier-1 location • Prolific oil region: 35 miles south of largest conventional oilfield in North America (Prudhoe Bay 15B barrels) • Operational year-round access: acreage position on Dalton Highway • Access to export pricing: Trans-Alaska Pipeline (~1.5MMbopd spare capacity) runs through acreage • Brent or better pricing available • Efficient path to market: Pump Station 1 is 35 miles north; Pump Station 2 is 10 miles south • Initially accessible via simple trucking operation via Dalton Highway • High Impact Drilling on track: existing gravel pad provides location for first well in Oct 2015, Icewine #1 Favorable fiscal terms • 10-year primary lease term with no mandatory relinquishment • Globally unique risk/reward due to 75-85% E&D cash rebates from the State of Alaska • 12.5% State royalty (16.5% including ORRI) Significant recent exploration success nearby • Repsol – large conventional discovery 45 miles northwest testing, potential for similar play at Icewine • 25,000 acre, 650ft gross / 150ft net pay, 22% porosity – > likely multi-hundred million barrel discovery • Alkaid #1 (Q1, 2015) – implied discovery, results reported to be imminent 5.

  6. Icewine #1 High Impact Well • N Icewine #1 well near term spud mid October, 2015 DALTON HIGHWAY • Primary objective: TRANS ALASKA PIPELINE • De-risk and mature HRZ liquids rich shale play • Experienced local Drilling Manager contracted in Alaska • Permitting and bonding on schedule FRANKLIN BLUFFS #1 * • ICEWINE #1 Icewine #1 to be drilled on existing Franklin Bluffs gravel pad delivering cost savings to the JV Icewine #1 S.P. Alaska Zone 4 NAD27 X: 664695.800376 Y: 5747745.82057 GCS NAD27 Lat: 69.717228 Long: -148.702817 • Groundwork prep & cellar installation underway Franklin Bluffs #1 S.P. Alaska Zone 4 NAD27 X: 665116.688894 Y: 5747989.67526 GCS NAD27 Lat: 69.717287 Long: -148.699462 • Targeting October 1 for rig mobilisation – Kuukpik 5 • Vertical pilot hole - 60 day program including mob/demob, ~ 30 day drill – proposed TD 11,600’ • Coring program HRZ shale & Upper Pebble Shale Unit (base seal) • Sophisticated ‘logging while drilling’ suite planned throughout • Additional coring to evaluate younger Brookian sandstones contingent on significant oil & gas shows 6.

  9. HRZ Liquids Rich Play Post Drill Evaluation • Different to conventional plays where discovery of hydrocarbons can normally be determined immediately from log analysis • Post drill core evaluation in stages - critical to validate key productivity factors in shale plays • Three parameters have been identified as Evaluation Stage 1 Key Analyses vital to any future commercial success of the Critical Parameters HRZ shale play • Brinell hardness test Bottom seal & • Triaxial compressive strength frackability • Stage 1 of the evaluation program will • Closure stress - calibrated dipole sonic address these key risks • Wet gas thermal RockEval pyrolysis • Visual kerogen analysis & VR maturity window • Stage 2 advanced analyses contingent on • Hydrocarbon chromatography positive results from Stage 1 • Matrix permeability Pulse Decay Permeametry • Nano-Perm analysis • Results form basis for future drilling decision; • GRI crushed shale analysis well and frac design 9.
