Chairman's Letter
I am pleased to provide my first report as Chair, following appointment in October 2023. FY 23 and its subsequent events have certainly been a busy and important period for Mosman Oil & Gas.
Both our board and our operations have materially evolved. They have done so around our continuing strategic objective to identify opportunities with significant upside and actual or potential operating cash flow. These opportunities have so far been predominantly in hydrocarbons, hydrogen and helium within our existing or expanding portfolio in Texas and central Australia.
My first duty as your Chair must be on behalf of all us shareholders, to acknowledge and thank both my former colleagues on the board. Our former Executive Chair John W Barr and our former Non-Executive Director John Young who both made invaluable and longstanding contributions since the Company's foundation. I must also welcome to the Board our new Non-Executive Director Mr Carl Dumbrell who brings great expertise to our table.
Executive Director Andy Carroll, formerly Technical Director, has now stepped up to become our Chief Executive Officer. He will be driving the Company forward supported by myself and Mr Dumbrell both as Non-Executives and our team of consultants. These include in particular Mr Howard McLauqhlin running our US operations, Dr Julie Daws our geologist focused on the central Australia assets, Jarrod White and his team at Traverse (especially Nick Marshall) providing financial and accounting support.
We plan to keep our team rightsized and our costs as low as practicable in pursuit of our objective of sustainable positive cash flow.
You will read ahead of several significant evolutions to our operations during the year as well.
In East Texas we drilled our first well at Cinnabar and expanded our lease there somewhat, buoyed by a very promising independent reserve report. Whilst subsequent production has been disappointing our team continues to work on technical solutions to access those more significant reserves.
Our Stanley assets have been responding very well to workovers and in particular installation of jet pumps. Our Falcon assets were disposed of and with them any residual liability.
The equity market's excitement around hydrogen and helium saw us looking at various potential paths for the significant prospective resources we have worked up with our key central Australian assets. This included even potentially a separate IPO. Ultimately, however, it was deemed more effective to farmout, which is yielding us certainty and importantly, no call on capital for these assets for quite some time. Mosman will be carried through the first few years of seismic and technical development as well as the cost of the first well (up to AUD5.5MM) and then retain a 25% interest in its EP 145 block near Alice Springs. Its other application block is also progressing slowly under an earlier farmout.
Nigel Harvey
Chair
Overview of the 2023 Financial Year
The current medium term focus, through wholly owned subsidiary Mosman Oil USA Inc, is on developing the existing production assets in the USA to deliver production increases and cash flow.
Summary
The Company has several active projects in the US in addition to exploration projects in the Amadeus Basin in Central Australia.
In the period there were several notable developments:
The Cinnabar project was acquired in 2021 at low cost when oil prices were lower. Two wells have been producing since the 1980s, with natural decline. 3D seismic was used to map the field and reservoir engineering modelling indicated significant remaining oil reserves. The current production rates need to be increased and technical work is underway to determine the best way forward.
At Stanley, gas lift was successful in increasing rates, but there is limited gas available. Jet pumps were installed, and after initial teething problems with sand production, have successfully increased production rates at the relevant wells. Technical work indicates additional recoverable oil at Stanley.
After shutting production in the year, the Falcon lease was disposed of post year end, and with it the liability for any potential future abandonment costs.
In the period, sales increased by 24% to $2,252,029 ($1,812,119 in 2022). Gross profit decreased by to $674,665 ($695,096 in 2022). The financial results were supported by increased ownership of projects, stronger commodity prices and the establishment of a broader production base, including the Cinnabar wells.
In Australia's Northern Territory, Mosman recently published a new Prospective Resource estimate over the EP 145 lease, saw the license extended to August 2024, and post period end, signed a farmin agreement with a subsidiary of Greenvale Energy Ltd to fund seismic and drilling. Upon completion, Mosman will retain a 25% working interest in EP 145
As shareholders and stakeholders expect, Mosman continues to take its Health and Safety requirements very seriously and to date there have been no health, safety or wellbeing issues reported in our small team.
Given the operational progress both during the year and after the reporting period, the Board looks forward with great optimism given these achievements and the growth opportunities available to it.
USA
Net Production attributable to Mosman in the year to 30 June 2023 was 31,067 boe, compared to 37,915 boe in 2022.
| Gross Project Production 2 BOE 1 | Net Production to Mosman 3 BOE 1 | |
|---|---|---|
| Stanley | 44,915 | 16,844 |
| Cinnabar | 8,465 | 6,349 |
| Livingston | 2,654 | 531 |
| Winters | 22,733 | 5,304 |
| Arkoma | 8,166 | 2,039 |
| Total Production | 86,933 | 31,067 |
1BOE/boe - barrels of oil equivalent
2Gross Project Production - Means the production of BOE at a total project level (100% basis) before royalties (where Mosman is the Operator) and where Mosman is not the operator the total gross production for the project
3Net Production - Net to Mosman's Working Interest; Net Production attributable to Mosman means net to Mosman's Working Interest before royalties
The decrease in net production was primarily due to production halting at Falcon, which was somewhat offset by increased production at Stanley and new production at Cinnabar.
Cinnabar (75% working interest)
A well was drilled in November 2022, with Mosman farming out 25% WI, and a "turnkey" drilling contract was used to reduce cost exposure. The well was successfully drilled to target depth. Electric logs and a third party report indicated multiple oil reservoirs had been penetrated. There was a delay waiting for the third party cement crew and equipment, during which time there was "lost circulation" whereby fluid was pumped in to the well to keep it full, but not all of that fluid returned to surface. This may have damaged the reservoirs and contributed to subsequent production problems.
The well was put on production in late December, and initially produced over 100 bopd of oil and emulsion. Over time, the oil production declined and the water rate increased to the point where the well did not flow. Production logs were run and indicated the water was coming from one zone, and oil from another. A workover was performed to seal off that zone and flow another zone. Despite the production log, after the workover that zone will only flow intermittently (ie the well is shut in, pressure builds, the well is flowed, pressure drops and flow ceases).
The older wells have been worked-over and now flow at higher rates, albeit intermittently. This result suggests the reservoir pressure is not sufficient to maintain flow, and artificial lift is required (as is common in wells onshore USA). Technical work is underway to determine the best type of artificial lift for this field.
Cinnabar Gross Reserves (BOE):
| Proved Developed Producing | Proved Developed Behind Pipe | Proved Undeveloped | Total Proved | Total Probable | Total Proved Plus Probable |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 302,000 | 147,000 | 1,132,000 | 1,581,000 | 65,000 | 1,646,000 |
Stanley (34.85% to 38.5% Working Interests)
Overall production at Stanley declined in the year but is now increasing primarily due to the installation and operation of jet pumps.
Livingston (20% Working Interest) and Greater Stanley (40% Working Interest)
These projects are of strategic importance and form part of the longer-term planning.
Arkoma (27% Working Interest)
Production has increased in FY2023, since the recovery from a significant lightning strike in March 2022. This asset has value when gas prices are high, due to the gas compression and transport costs.
Winters-2 (23% Working Interest)
Winters-2 continues to produce at rates exhibiting natural decline.
Falcon
The Falcon-1 well stopped producing in the June 2022 quarter and the subsequent attempted workovers were not successful. As a result, the well was shut-in for the full 2023 financial year. Subsequent to year-end, given the lower gas prices, Mosman determined not to invest additional resources in this project and reached an agreement to transfer the Falcon lease to 84 Energy Corp in exchange for the equipment on the lease. This means Mosman is not liable for potential future abandonment costs which were estimated to be up to US$200,000.
In addition, the adjacent undeveloped Galaxie exploration lease has not been renewed and has expired with no liabilities.
AUSTRALIA
Mosman has continued to conduct technical work on its Central Australian exploration projects, focused on the 100% owned EP 145, in the Amadeus Basin, Northern Territory.
An airborne gravity and gradiometry survey was completed in 2022 and provided a wealth of new information that is critical to ongoing work. That survey is a significant step in the exploration programme for EP 145 and is the first time that such data has been acquired for the whole 818 sq/km of the permit area.
This led to a new Prospective Resource estimate by Mosman as detailed below.
Based on a report by the Geognostics Australia Pty Ltd dated October 2022, and data from other wells in the Amadeus basin, Mosman has estimated gross Prospective Resource volumes for hydrocarbons, helium, and hydrogen associated with the Walker Creek Anticline as a lead within the boundaries of the EP 145 permit using a deterministic approach and applying the SPE PRMS standard.
| Prospective Resources (Bcf) | Low Estimate | Best Estimate | High Estimate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total gas | 12 | 440 | 2,290 |
| Helium | 0.3 | 26.4 | 229 |
| Hydrogen | 0.24 | 26.4 | 275 |
Source: Mosman Oil and Gas Ltd, October 2022
The ongoing exploration work programme on EP 145 is to acquire seismic prior to drilling an exploration well. Mosman has applied for the required regulatory and CLC approvals. The CLC has conducted a site survey and has approved land access approval for seismic acquisition.
Once all approvals are obtained, the next step is the acquisition and interpretation of 2D seismic in the current permit year (expiring August 2024), prior to identifying a drilling location and drilling an exploration well.
Mosman successfully applied for a grant to undertake a soil gas sampling program targeting hydrogen and helium. The grant was awarded by the Northern Territories Government as part of the Geophysics and Collaborations program. Soil gas sampling is a non-invasive, rapid and relatively inexpensive technology to identify the presence of natural hydrogen and helium and provides a preliminary test to determine if these gases are present in the permit. Soil gas sampling for hydrogen is a relatively new technique and only a small number of companies globally have the equipment to undertake these studies. After evaluation, CSIRO are the preferred supplier offering reliable equipment and a relatively quick project turn around and Mosman is currently discussing timing for a survey. Given the remote location and extreme weather in the Northern Territory, collection of data is also restricted to the cooler months (April-October) for safety reasons. Mosman anticipates that it will be able to conduct a survey once all access approvals are met and equipment is available.
Subsequent to the end of the Financial Year, Mosman announced the funding of seismic and drilling by farmout to ASX listed Greenvale Mining Ltd. Subject to completion including government approvals, Mosman will retain 25% and Greenvale will earn 75% of the permit.
Mosman's other central Australian project is EPA-155. This permit is subject to a farmout with the next step being completion of Native Title negotiations.

Financial Report
Overall, in the year to 30 June 2023, the Company made a loss of $2,127,198 (2022: $2,446,276) after impairments of $474,586 (2022: $1,606,816).
Revenue increased to $2,252,029 (2022: $1,812,119) as higher value oil production replaced lower value gas production.
Gross Profit decreased to $674,665 (2022: $695,096), primarily due to lower gas prices.
Of significance, some $2,567,643 (2022: $1,588,036) was spent on investing activities on assets in the portfolio during the year in support of the Group's growth strategy.
Asset value increase to $8,669,676 (2022: $8,602,400).
The net proceeds of fundraising activities during the year were $1,931,908 (2022: $2,043,051).
The Board continues to focus on achieving a cash flow positive position at a Company level. Given the current financial position, the results of recent drilling and the ongoing focus to control costs, this is now becoming an increasingly achievable objective.
Overhead costs continue to be tightly controlled. Mosman continues to operate with a very small number of Employees and Consultants. The Company operates in three countries and in four-time zones, and the role played by the Employees and Consultants is vital in achieving Mosman's strategic objective. Accordingly, I again express my profound gratitude for everyone's efforts in the year.
Outlook
Whilst 2023 has been challenging, we have also made considerable progress. Mosman remains resolute in identifying opportunities which will provide operating cash flow and have development upside, in conjunction with exploration of existing exploration permits, whilst also being in a position to evaluate further acquisition targets.
The team is building a strong foundation from which we plan to scale up the business and grow by taking advantage of organic production opportunities in the year ahead.
We acknowledge it has been a turbulent period for shareholders and would like to take this opportunity to thank them for their continued support whilst reassuring them of our confidence of achieving growth in both production and value for the business.

1 Statement of Accounting Policies
The principal accounting policies adopted in preparing the financial report of Mosman Oil and Gas Limited (or "the Company'') and Controlled Entities ("Consolidated entity" or "Group"), are stated to assist in a general understanding of the financial report. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise indicated.
Mosman Oil and Gas Limited is a Company limited by shares incorporated and domiciled in Australia.
Basis of Preparation
This general purpose financial report has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including Australian Interpretations) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.
The financial report has been prepared on the basis of historical costs and does not take into account changing money values or, except where stated, current valuations of non-current assets.
Going Concern
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. As at 30 June 2023, the consolidated entity incurred a net loss of $2,127,198 during the year ended 30 June 2023 and, as of that date, the group had a cash balance of $520,613.
The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.
In forming this view the directors have taken into consideration the following:
Should the company or the group not able to achieve matters set out above, there is a significant uncertainty related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the company and the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, and, therefore, that it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
The financial report was authorised for issue by the Directors on 8 November 2023.
Principles of Consolidation and Equity Accounting
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of entities controlled by Mosman Oil and Gas Limited at the end of the reporting period. A controlled entity is any entity over which Mosman Oil and Gas Limited has the ability and right to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from the entity's activities.
Under AASB 11 Joint Arrangements, investments in joint arrangements are classified as either joint operations or joint ventures. The classification depends on the contractual rights and obligations of each investor, rather than the legal structure of the joint arrangement. Mosman Oil and Gas Limited has a working interest in various joint operations.
Joint ventures
Equity method
The carrying amount of equity-accounted investments is tested for impairment in accordance with the policy described in note 1(q).
Use of Estimates and Judgements
Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements
Impairment of Exploration and Evaluation Assets
The key areas of judgement and estimation include:
- Recent exploration and evaluation results and resource estimates;
- Environmental issues that may impact on the underlying tenements;
Taxation
Exploration and Evaluation Assets
Income Tax
Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences.
Goods and Services Tax
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:
- Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included;
- Property, Plant and Equipment
Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis and therefore carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment. In the event the carrying amount of plant and equipment is greater than the estimated recoverable amount, the carrying amount is written down immediately to the estimated recoverable amount and impairment losses are recognised either in profit or loss, or as a revaluation decrease if the impairment losses relate to a revalued asset. A formal assessment of recoverable amount is made when impairment indicators are present (refer to Note 1(q) for details of impairment).
The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the asset's employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts.
Depreciation
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the asset's useful life to the consolidated group commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.
Exploration and Evaluation Assets
Where a resource has been identified and where it is expected that future expenditures will be recovered by future exploitation or sale, the impairment of the exploration and evaluation is written back and transferred to development costs. Once production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant
area of interest are amortised over the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves.
- Accounts Payable
- Contributed Equity
Issued Capital
Incremental costs directly attributable to issue of ordinary shares and share options are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any related income tax benefit.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share ("EPS") are calculated based upon the net loss divided by the weighted average number of shares. Diluted EPS are calculated as the net loss divided by the weighted average number of shares and dilutive potential shares.
- Share-Based Payment Transactions
- Comparative Figures
- Financial Risk Management
- Financial Instruments
Recognition, initial measurement and derecognition
Classification and subsequent measurement of financial assets
Hybrid contracts
Subsequent measurement of financial assets
- financial assets at amortised cost
- financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL)
- debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)
- equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)
Classifications are determined by both:
- the entity's business model for managing the financial asset
- the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets
Financial assets at amortised cost
After initial recognition, these are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Company's cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other receivables fall into this category of financial.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL)
Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (Debt FVOCI)
Equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (Equity FVOCI)
Investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading are eligible for an irrevocable election at inception to be measured at FVOCI. Under this category, subsequent movements in fair value are recognised in other comprehensive income and are never reclassified to profit or loss. Dividend income is taken to profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents return of capital.
Impairment of Financial assets
- Oil and gas assets
- Impairment of Assets
At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying values of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is
compared to the asset's carrying value. Any excess of the asset's carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the income statement. Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives.
Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating until to which the asset belongs.
- Employee Entitlements
- Provisions
- Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of 3 months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the balance sheet.
Revenue and Other Income
Revenue from Joint Operations is recognised based on its share of the sale by joint operation.
Business combinations
Business combinations are initially accounted for on a provisional basis. The acquirer retrospectively adjusts the provisional amounts recognised and also recognises additional assets or liabilities during the measurement period, based on new information obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition-date. The measurement period ends on either the earlier of (i) 12 months from the
date of the acquisition or (ii) when the acquirer receives all the information possible to determine fair value.
Acquisition of Subsidiary Not Deemed a Business Combination
When an acquisition of assets does not constitute a business combination, the assets and liabilities are assigned a carrying amount based on their relative fair values in an asset purchase transaction and no deferred tax will arise in relation to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities as the initial exemption for deferred tax under AASB 12 applies. No goodwill will arise on the acquisition and transaction costs of the acquisition will be included in the capitalised cost of the asset.
Foreign Currency Translation
Functional currency
Presentation currency
The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Group's presentation currency.
Functional currency balances are translated into the presentation currency using the exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Value differences arising from movements in the exchange rate is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

- As at 30 June 2023 the Company had Australian tax losses of $15,994,372 (2022: $14,107,506). The benefit of deferred tax assets not brought to account will only be realised if:
- Future assessable income is derived of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefit to be realised; and
- The conditions for deductibility imposed by tax legislation continue to be complied with and no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the Company in realising the benefit.
