WA/527-P, BEDOUT SUB-BASIN, OFFSHORE NORTHWEST SHELF
Exploration permit WA/527-P is large, covering approximately 6,500km2, in the Bedout Sub-basin of the Northwest
Shelf, approximately 80km north-east of the recent Dorado-1 oil discovery (Carnarvon Petroleum 20%, Quadrant
Energy 80%).
3D Oil has identified at least fifteen leads across the permit, using a combination of open-file 2D seismic data and
the Searcher Seismic Multi-client Bilby 2D seismic survey. The leads are all considered to be prospective for oil.
Figure 1 - WA/527-P Location
The Bedout Sub-basin is an element of the Roebuck Basin located along the prolific Northwest Shelf of Australia.
A recent exploration campaign by the Quadrant Energy, Carnarvon Petroleum (ASX: CVN) and Finder Exploration
Joint Venture has resulted in the discovery of an exciting new petroleum system, located in permits adjacent to the
Company’s 100%-owned WA/527-P.
The joint venture’s exploration campaign began with the drilling of the Phoenix South and Roc wells between 2014
and 2016. Phoenix South-1 discovered a series of light oil zones, while the Roc wells and Phoenix South-2 all
discovered gas-condensate within sands of the Triassic, Caley reservoir. Recently the Quadrant and CVN Joint
Venture completed the drilling of Phoenix South-3 which indicates the presence of 131m gross hydrocarbon
column at Phoenix South (refer to CVN ASX release, 13 August 2018). However, evaluation of core samples is
required to determine the degree to which the reservoir can flow hydrocarbon.
By far, the most exciting news is the discovery of a large oil and gas-condensate at Dorado-1 along the southern
margin of the basin in July 2018. CVN has estimated a total 283 MMboe 2C resource for Dorado, with 171 MMbbls
of this to be oil (refer to CVN ASX release, 20 August 2018). These estimates make Dorado one of the largest
ever oil discoveries on the northwest shelf.
Carnarvon’s Managing Director and CEO, Adrian Cook said “It is common for additional resources to be discovered
in the surrounding area after a large discovery. In this regard we expect to provide the market with further details
on prospects identified by the play concept now proven at Dorado, that we believe have the potential to also contain
oil resources.”

3D Oil Limited
Review of operations
30 June 2018
The Dorado-1 well confirmed the presence of good quality and hydrocarbon bearing reservoir sands within multiple
intervals of the Lower Triassic including the Caley, Baxter, Crespin and Milne members with a total aggregated net
pay of 132m (refer to the Carnarvon ASX release 8th August 2018). This supports 3D Oil’s long held technical view
that reservoir quality towards the margin of the basin, situated within an analogous setting to WA/527-P would be
high, but also proves the presence of multiple competent sealing units. It is still uncertain as to how far this
configuration extends along the basin margin, however, 3D Oil’s licensed subset of the Bilby 2D Multi-Client Survey
indicates that high amplitude reflectors characteristic of the Caley and Milne members exist within WA/527-P.
Figure 2: Interpretation of open-file 2D seismic data showing high amplitude reflections, likely to represent Lower
Triassic sands.
Activities
During the year 3D Oil completed a comprehensive prospectivity review of WA/527-P. The Company has identified
over fifteen leads across the permit using a combination of open-file 2D seismic data and the Searcher Seismic
Multi-client Bilby 2D seismic survey. The leads are considered to be prospective for oil and form the basis of our
farm-out campaign which commenced early in 2018. 3D Oil is currently engaging in technical discussions with a
number of E&P companies interested in the prospectivity of the permit.
Volumetric estimates have been conducted for three of the leads in WA/527-P (Table 1), as these leads have
sufficient geophysical control to estimate their respective gross rock volumes. These estimates, while conservative
indicate that the permit contains significant potential value to 3D Oil. It should be noted that the estimations are
based on TDO’s current dataset, and has not been able to take into account proprietary geophysical data that the
company currently does not have access to.
Prospectivity
The leads within WA/527-P include a series of prospective features along the western side of the acreage which
may host Triassic sands, similar to those encountered at Dorado. However, 3D Oil has also identified multiple
targets within the shallower Jurassic section and a series of possible carbonate build-up targets within the deeper
Palaeozoic. These features are interpreted to receive hydrocarbon from up to two oil-prone source rocks.

Mesozoic Leads
A series of inversion and fault-bound targets within both the Triassic and Jurassic sections have been identified
along the western side of WA/527-P. Many of these features have been identified on the Bilby 2D seismic data.
As such, some of these are new features, not identified by previous operators. Of particular note is the identification
of the Whaleback Lead, with a Best Estimate Prospective Resource of 86 MMbbls.
The Salamander and Jaubert leads, which may have Triassic reservoir and seal pairs, have been recognised by
previous operators in the permit. Interpretation of a subset of the Bilby 2D survey indicates that Salamander may
extend further to the south than previously interpreted, while Jaubert may have independent dip closure within the
shallower Jurassic section, containing an additional two reservoir-seal pairs.
Recent publications made by Quadrant Energy to leading Australian Oil & Gas Journal APPEA indicate that the
Lower Triassic contains excellent quality oil-prone source rocks (Woodward et al. 2018). 3D Oil is conducting a
new thermal and migration model which integrates these source rock parameters with the Dorado-1 results. Initial
results from the migration model indicate the potential for significant hydrocarbon available to the western side of
3D Oil’s 100%-owned permit WA/527-P
Palaeozoic Leads
3D Oil has identified the presence of at least six reef-like features that could form viable oil targets. These features
range in areal size from 3-30km2. They are mostly identifiable within the eastern side of the permit, within what is
interpreted to be a section of an extensive Palaeozoic barrier reef system. This system is interpreted to extend
between the present day Bonaparte and Perth Basin and is observable in the nearby onshore Canning Basin
where it hosts the Blina and Ungani oil fields. The system is also the target of recent 3D seismic acquisition
program led by Santos in the Bonaparte Basin, which targets the Beehive reef feature of Carboniferous age.
3D Oil’s proposed play concept for the Palaeozoic involves thermally mature source rocks of Devonian and/or
Early Carboniferous age. Such source rocks are proven in the onshore Canning Basin where they have contributed
strongly paraffinic light oil to successful oil fields such as Blina and Ungani. These source rocks are likely to be
mature for oil expulsion within the WA/527-P acreage and if so, may provide hydrocarbon to Palaeozoic targets as
well as to shallower Mesozoic targets.

T/49P, OTWAY BASIN, OFFSHORE TASMANIA
Exploration permit T/49P was awarded to 3D Oil in May 2013 with Company having a 100% interest. The permit
is located in the offshore Otway Basin of Tasmania, immediately southeast of the largest producing gas field in the
Otway Basin, Thylacine.
The Otway Basin is a northwest trending rift basin. It is approximately 500km long and extends along the southern
margin of South Australia and Victoria to north-west Tasmania, covering an area of 150,000km2. The basin has
been an important supplier of gas to the east coast of Australia since the 1980s. In the event of a discovery, the
T/49-P permit will be optimally placed to contribute much needed additional gas to this market in coming years.
5
3D Oil Limited
Review of operations
30 June 2018
The first commercial gas discoveries in the offshore Otway were in Victorian waters, in the early 1990s proving the
existence of what would become recognised as a prolific gas province that is now known to extend throughout
much of the Victorian Otway Basin and likely within 3D Oil’s T/49-P exploration acreage. The acreage is situated
immediately to the southeast of the basins largest offshore gas field, Thylacine discovered in 2001. Thylacine and
the nearby Geographe gas field have been producing since 2007 from infrastructure that is located close to the
northern boundary of the T/49P permit and the Flanagan Prospect. The offshore Otway Basin also supports two
other gas production projects at Casino and Minerva, both in Victorian waters.
The T/49-P permit contains a number of structures prospective for gas within an area of 4,960 km2 and in water
depths generally no greater than 100m. The north of the permit is covered by 974 km2 of modern 3D seismic,
while the area to the south remains lightly explored and covered by a broad grid of 2D seismic data of varying
vintages. Only two early exploration wells have been drilled in the permit (in 1967 and 1970) on historic, widely
spaced 2D seismic. In subsequent years the region was largely overlooked by the industry despite the proximity
of the Thylacine and Geographe gas fields.
The T/49P work-programme is currently in Permit Year 5, having completed the primary work-programme (Years1-
3) including the acquisition, processing and interpretation of the Flanagan 3D seismic survey.
Figure 3 – Otway Basin, Fields and Infrastructure Location
Activities
At the commencement of the year 3D Oil made a formal request to the National Offshore Petroleum Titles
Administrator (“NOPTA”) to vary the secondary work programme for T/49P. This was in response to discussions
with a number of potential farminees which suggested that swapping the Year 5 exploration well, with the Year 6
6
3D Oil Limited
Review of operations
30 June 2018
seismic acquisition could result in providing a suite of ‘drill-ready’ gas targets to add to Flanagan. The variation
was awarded by NOPTA on 16 OCT 2017.
Subsequent to the award of the variation 3D Oil began planning the acquisition of the Dorrigo 3D MSS. This has
included highly detailed planning, determination of optimal acquisition parameters, determination of the most
efficient acquisition area, and the commencement of the Environmental Plan for the activity.
The minimum work commitment for the survey is 750km2, however, 3D Oil is planning for the acquisition of
1580km2 which would far exceed its obligation. The survey has been carefully designed to capture all remaining
leads located to the south of Flanagan (Fig. 4).
Figure 4: Location Map of the Dorrigo 3D Marine Seismic Survey shown with Leads and Prospects
The Company has completed key environmental modelling and is in the process of drafting the Environmental
Planning (“EP”) application. Presently, the company is in the process of engaging with community stakeholders
as per regulatory requirements. 3D Oil is strongly committed to an open and thorough consultation process and
as such, this process has been on-going since early 2018 and will continue until regulatory requirements are fully
satisfied.
The previous 3D seismic survey confirmed the Flanagan Prospect in the northern portion of T/49P with Prospective
Resource of 1.4TCF (Best Estimate). The Dorrigo project will target a series of significant leads across the central
and southern portion of T/49P with the intention of maturing several of these to prospect status. 3D Oil intends to
combine insight gleaned from the new data with that from existing seismic, to determine the location of the
exploration well planned for 2020, subject to funding and securing a suitable exploration partner.
One of the key leads to be targeted by the seismic program is the Harbinger Lead, supported by a Type III AVO
anomaly indicative of gas. Independent analysis has estimated that Harbinger contains 790 BCF of Prospective
Resources; however, this analysis was constrained by broadly spaced, decade old 2D seismic data. The upcoming
3D seismic acquisition may allow 3D Oil to more definitively understand the size of the prospective gas resource
and allow for accurate drill planning.

Another potential target for 3D seismic acquisition is the Seal Rocks lead, with a Best Estimate Prospective
Resource of over 4 TCF. Seal Rocks is also constrained by widely spaced grid of 2D seismic and requires modern
3D data to asses more accurately.

VIC/P57, GIPPSLAND BASIN OFFSHORE VICTORIA
Exploration Permit VIC/P57 is located in the northwest part of the offshore Gippsland Basin. The permit is
approximately 246 square kilometres in size, close to shore, in shallow water depths and proximal to existing
infrastructure.
3D Oil holds a 24.9% interest in the VIC/P57. By arrangement with permit operator Carnarvon Hibiscus Pty Ltd
(CHPL), 3D Oil Limited continues to carry out subsurface technical work for the permit on behalf of the Joint
Venture. The Joint Venture is optimistic in relation to the potential for this permit to supply additional gas to the
domestic market.

Review of operations
30 June 2018
The Gippsland Basin, with initial reserves estimated at 4 billion barrels of oil and 11.5 trillion cubic feet of gas, is
Australia’s most prolific oil and gas producing basin. Twenty-one oil and gas fields are on production with most of
the hydrocarbons reservoired within the world-class sandstones of the Latrobe Group.
Much of the historical success in the basin was achieved by the interpretation of 2D seismic data. The dominant
acreage position of the Esso-BHP joint venture, with a focus on large-scale projects, has to some extent hindered
the impact that 3D seismic-based exploration has had on similar basins, where smaller but lower risk targets are
pursued. VIC/P57 is covered by 3D seismic data which was reprocessed by the Company in 2010/11, and more
recently in 2018 as part of the Gippsland ReGeneration Reprocessing Project.
The Gippsland ReGeneration Reprocessing Project has been initiated by the French seismic company CGG.
There are many areas of improvement that have resulted in enhanced imaging of the sub-surface. These
techniques were recently applied in the eastern Gippsland Basin, at the previously poorly understood Dory gas
discovery. Broader bandwidth, less noise, a significantly improved velocity model and more sophisticated
migration algorithms have resulted in a dramatic improvement in imaging compared with previous attempts.
ExxonMobil are planning on drilling Hairtail-1 and Bald Fish-1 at the Dory prospect in 2018.
The data provides a more reliable means to identify and exploit previously un-detected near-field opportunities
within the Upper Latrobe Group, and importantly, mature the deeper gas fairway within the Emperor and Golden
Beach Sub-groups, which is generally not well imaged on legacy datasets.
The Joint Venture is pleased to announce that it has purchased a sub-set of this state-of-the-art reprocessing and
is excited to see how the data will enhance the prospectivity of the VIC/P57 permit. Preliminary results are exciting
and the Company looks forward to updating the market as the data continues to add value to the permit.
Activities
Last year the VIC/P57 Joint Venture agreed to renew the permit for a further five-year period following the results
of a thorough prospectivity review that identified significant remaining value likely to be present within the acreage.
A renewal application was lodged with NOPTA in September 2017 and subsequently granted in March of this year.
The retained area shown on Figure 6 was carefully chosen to include only the most promising leads and prospects
as defined in last year’s prospectivity review.
The work program for the primary term of the renewal period, the first three years, is designed to de-risk and high
grade the prospect inventory and ultimately progress prospects to ‘drill-ready’, while also providing an opportunity
to identify previously undetected gas targets.
In mid-July the Joint Venture received a 564 km2 subset of the CGG Gippsland Regeneration reprocessed data,
covering the entirety of VIC/P57 area and relevant nearby oil & gas fields including West Seahorse. This exceeds
a key work commitment for the primary term which included 230 km2 of seismic reprocessing. The dataset has
been loaded into the interpretation software and preliminary analysis show exceptional improvement to the data
quality.

Prospectivity
Felix Prospect
The Felix Prospect contains a Best Estimate prospective Resource of 16MMbbls. The Prospect is situated in a
favourable location, between the Moonfish field and Wirrah discoveries. As such, it is considered highly likely to
benefit from similar reservoir-seal configurations and to have access to charge from the same kitchen.
The new reprocessing includes a significantly improved velocity model and depth migration which will allow the
Joint Venture to more accurately estimate the most likely size of the Felix structure, and therefore hydrocarbon
volumes. It is hoped that the data will also facilitate determination of the best possible drilling location.
The deeper gas potential of the Emperor and Golden Beach has been proven at discoveries such as the Sunfish,
Remora, South East Remora, Longtom and Kipper fields. Structural modelling at Felix demonstrates that there is
likely to be prospective traps at equivalent levels. After preliminary analysis, the new reprocessing indicates
improved imaging of the Emperor and Golden Beach sections at Felix.
Pointer Prospect
Pointer is a gas prospect within the Upper Latrobe Group. It was identified as a result of amplitude analysis
conducted using the Joint Venture’s Pre Stack Depth Migration (PrSDM) subset of the Northern Fields 3D seismic
survey. It presents as a Type II AVO anomaly that may seal by on-lap against Volcanics or fine-grained clastic
sediments. Seismic mapping and amplitude extraction suggest that the feature could be 27km2 in areal extent
and contain a Best Estimate of 235Bcf Prospective Resource.
The new dataset has provided a clearer representation of the Pointer amplitude anomaly (Fig. 7), with added finer
details allowing for more accurate mapping and characterisation of the prospect. The angle stack dataset
necessary for quantitative geophysical methods such as AVO analysis are expected to be delivered in the near
future. A clear AVO anomaly will solidify Pointer as a strong candidate to contribute much needed gas to the East
Australian market.
Throughout the reporting period the Joint Venture has already entertained preliminary discussions with major
Exploration & Production companies which have expressed strong interest in Pointer.

Deeper Gas Potential
The potential for a prospective gas fairway in VIC/P57 is high. The Emperor Subgroup play, proven by the along-
trend Longtom and Judith gas discoveries is likely to be present within VIC/P57. The prospectivity review
conducted last year supported the presence of Emperor Subgroup leads including Lucifer, Dexter and Kangafish,
which are low-side, fault-dependent structures associated with the east-west trending fault system along the
basin’s northern margin.
Seismic attribute analysis combined with structural modelling has identified the presence of a series of tilted-fault
blocks that may represent hydrocarbon traps within the possible Emperor section of the Seahorse Syncline.
Imaging limitations on the Joint Venture’s 2011 PrSDM made these features difficult to properly map. In contrast,
the 2018 reprocessed seismic data show a spectacular improvement to the imaging of this section. Figure 8 shows
the previous vintage of seismic data (left) where the section was barely visible, compared with the CGG Gippsland
Regeneration dataset (right), which shows clearly visible tilted fault blocks and involved bedding. It is hoped that
this improvement will allow the Joint Venture to accurately map this previously poorly imaged gas fairway and
reveal its potential to host additional gas targets.

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration
The objective of the consolidated entity's executive reward framework is to ensure reward for performance is competitive
and appropriate for the results delivered. The framework aligns executive reward with the achievement of strategic objectives
and the creation of value for shareholders, and conforms with the market best practice for delivery of reward. The Board of
Directors ('the Board') ensures that executive reward satisfies the following key criteria for good reward governance practices:
●
●
●
●
competitiveness and reasonableness
acceptability to shareholders
alignment of executive compensation
transparency
The Nomination and Remuneration Committee is responsible for determining and reviewing remuneration arrangements for
its directors and executives. The performance of the consolidated entity and company depends on the quality of its directors
and executives. The remuneration philosophy is to attract, motivate and retain high performance and high quality personnel.
The Nomination and Remuneration Committee has structured an executive remuneration framework that is market
competitive and complementary to the reward strategy of the consolidated entity.
15
3D Oil Limited
Directors' report
30 June 2018
The reward framework is designed to align executive reward to shareholders' interests. The Board have considered that it
should seek to enhance shareholders' interests by:
●
focusing on sustained growth in shareholder wealth, consisting of dividends and growth in share price, and delivering
constant or increasing return on assets as well as focusing the executive on key non-financial drivers of value
attracting and retaining high calibre executives
●
Additionally, the reward framework should seek to enhance executives' interests by:
●
●
●
rewarding capability and experience
reflecting competitive reward for contribution to growth in shareholder wealth
providing a clear structure for earning rewards
In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive director and executive director
remuneration is separate.
Non-executive directors remuneration
Fees and payments to non-executive directors reflect the demands which are made on, and the responsibilities of, the
directors. Non-executive directors' fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Nomination and Remuneration
Committee. The chairman's fees are determined independently to the fees of other non-executive directors based on
comparative roles in the external market. The chairman is not present at any discussions relating to determination of his own
remuneration. Non-executive directors do not receive share options or other incentives.
ASX listing rules requires that the aggregate non-executive directors remuneration shall be determined periodically by a
general meeting. The most recent determination was at the Annual General Meeting held on 21 November 2012, where the
shareholders approved an aggregate remuneration of $400,000.
Executive remuneration
The consolidated entity aims to reward executives with a level and mix of remuneration based on their position and
responsibility, which are both fixed.
The executive remuneration and reward framework has three components:
●
●
●
base pay and non-monetary benefits
share-based payments
other remuneration such as superannuation and long service leave
The combination of these comprises the executive's total remuneration.
Fixed remuneration, consisting of base salary, superannuation and non-monetary benefits, are reviewed annually by the
Nomination and Remuneration Committee, based on individual and business unit performance, the overall performance of
the company and comparable market remunerations.
Executives can receive their fixed remuneration in the form of cash or other fringe benefits (for example motor vehicle
benefits) where it does not create any additional costs to the company and adds additional value to the executive.
All Executives are eligible to receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as experience and comparable industry
information) or consulting fee. The Board reviews the Managing Director's remuneration package, and the Managing Director
reviews the senior Executives' remuneration packages annually by reference to the consolidated entity's performance,
executive performance and comparable information within the industry.
The performance of Executives is measured against criteria agreed annually with each executive and is based predominantly
on the overall success of the consolidated entity in achieving its broader corporate goals. Bonuses and incentives are linked
to predetermined performance criteria. The Board may, however, exercise its discretion in relation to approving incentives,
bonuses, and options, and can require changes to the Managing Director's recommendations. This policy is designed to
attract the highest calibre of Executives and reward them for performance that results in long-term growth in shareholder
wealth.
All remuneration paid to Directors and Executives is valued at the cost to the consolidated entity and expensed. Options are
valued using the Black-Scholes or Binomial methodology.
The long-term incentives ('LTI') includes long service leave and share-based payments. Shares and or options are awarded
to executives on the discretion of the remuneration and Nomination Committee based on long-term incentive measures.

Directors' report
30 June 2018
Consolidated entity performance and link to remuneration
Remuneration packages do not include performance-based components. An individual member of staff's performance is
assessed by reference to their contribution to the Company's overall achievements. The intention of this program is to
facilitate goal congruence between Executives with that of the business and shareholders. Generally, the executive's
remuneration is tied to the consolidated entity's successful achievement of certain key milestones as they relate to its
operating activities.
Voting and comments made at the company's 2 November 2017 Annual General Meeting ('AGM')
The company received 98.10% of 'for' votes in relation to its remuneration report for the year ended 30 June 2017. The
company did not receive any specific feedback at the AGM regarding its remuneration practices.

Issue of shares
There were no shares issued to directors and other key management personnel as part of compensation during the year
ended 30 June 2018.

There were no options over ordinary shares issued to directors and other key management personnel as part of
compensation that were outstanding as at 30 June 2018.
There were no options over ordinary shares granted to or vested by directors and other key management personnel as part

$0.027
$0.021
The Performance Rights were issued for $Nil consideration, and the vesting of the rights is contingent on the Company
achieving certain hurdles over a three-year performance period.
The number of Performance Rights which vest is determined by assessing the performance of the Company, as measured
by Total Shareholder Return (TSR) at the Performance Date relative to a comparator group of companies. The VWAP of the
Shares in the one-month preceding the Performance Date compared to the VWAP of the Shares in the one-month preceding
the grant date, will be used in calculating the TSR over the three-year period. The TSR incorporate capital returns as well as
dividends notionally reinvested and is considered the most appropriate means of measuring the Company’s performance.
Performance Rights will only convert to Shares subject to the Performance Period being met and subject to the Company’s
TSR being at least equal to the median of the comparator group performance. The entire annual allocation will convert if the
Company’s TSR is at the 75th percentile or higher than the comparator group performance. The detailed breakdown of the
relationship between the Company’s performance and the conversion of Performance Rights is:
• 0% converting if the Company TSR performance is below the median performance of the comparator group.
• 50% to 100% converting if the Company TSR performance is at or above the median performance of the
comparator group, but below the 75th percentile performance of the comparator group.
• 100% converting if the Company TSR performance is at or above the 75th percentile performance of the
comparator group.
Under the LTI Plan there will be a straight line pro-rata conversion of Performance Rights to Shares where the Company’s
TSR performance is between the median and 75th percentile performance.
There were no performance rights over ordinary shares granted to or vested by directors and other key management
personnel as part of compensation during the year ended 30 June 2018.

Notes to the financial statements
30 June 2018
Note 1. General information
The financial statements cover 3D Oil Limited as a consolidated entity consisting of 3D Oil Limited and the entities it controlled
at the end of, or during, the year. The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is 3D Oil Limited's
functional and presentation currency.
3D Oil Limited is a listed public company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. Its registered office and
principal place of business is:
Level 18
41 Exhibition Street
Melbourne VIC 3000
A description of the nature of the consolidated entity's operations and its principal activities are included in the directors'
report, which is not part of the financial statements.
The financial statements were authorised for issue, in accordance with a resolution of directors, on 26 September 2018. The
directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements.
Note 2. Significant accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out either in the respective
notes or below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the
Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period.
Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.
Going concern
The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes continuity of normal business activities
and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
The working capital position as at 30 June 2018 of the consolidated entity results in an excess of current assets over current
liabilities of $103,564 (30 June 2017: $1,492,021). The consolidated entity made a loss after tax of $1,154,810 during the
financial year (2017 loss: $1,839,978) and had net operating cash outflows of $982,352 (2017: $1,486,299). The cash
balance as at 30 June 2018 was $1,007,865 (2017: $1,304,423).
On 5 September 2018, the consolidated entity announced a $3 million capital raising to fund the purchase of seismic data
and undertake a comprehensive prospectivity update across its 100% owned WA-527-P permit.
The Directors continue to monitor the ongoing funding requirements of the consolidated entity and have considered minimum
commitments under current permit arrangements and as a consequence the directors have a reasonable expectation that
the consolidated entity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the relevant period and as such are
of the opinion that the financial report has been appropriately prepared on a going concern basis.
Rounding of amounts
3D Oil Limited is a type of Company that is referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports)
Instrument 2016/191 and therefore the amounts contained in this report and in the financial report have been rounded to the
nearest dollar.
Basis of preparation
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and
Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate
for for-profit oriented entities. These financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as
issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB').

3D Oil Limited
Notes to the financial statements
30 June 2018
Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
Historical cost convention
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for, where applicable, the
revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets, financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, investment
properties, certain classes of property, plant and equipment and derivative financial instruments.
Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires
management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the consolidated entity's accounting policies. The areas
involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the
financial statements, are disclosed in note 3.
Parent entity information
In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the consolidated entity only.
Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 24.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of 3D Oil Limited ('company' or
'parent entity') as at 30 June 2018 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. 3D Oil Limited and its subsidiaries
together are referred to in these financial statements as the 'consolidated entity'.
Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the consolidated entity has control. The consolidated entity controls an entity
when the consolidated entity is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the
ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from
the date on which control is transferred to the consolidated entity. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the consolidated entity are
eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset
transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies
adopted by the consolidated entity.
The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership interest,
without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference between the consideration
transferred and the book value of the share of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable
to the parent.
Where the consolidated entity loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and
non-controlling interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. The
consolidated entity recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained
together with any gain or loss in profit or loss.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefit will flow to the consolidated entity and the revenue can
be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.
Interest
Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the
amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate,
which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the
net carrying amount of the financial asset.
Income tax
The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period's taxable income based on the applicable
income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary
differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable.
29
3D Oil Limited
Notes to the financial statements
30 June 2018
Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to be applied when the
assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted, except for:
When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a
●
transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor
taxable profits; or
When the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, and the
timing of the reversal can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable
future.
●
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that
future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. Deferred tax
assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for the
carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable
that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against
current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities; and they relate to the same taxable authority on
either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend to settle simultaneously.
3D Oil Limited (the 'head entity') and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidated group
under the tax consolidation regime. The head entity and each subsidiary in the tax consolidated group continue to account
for their own current and deferred tax amounts. The tax consolidated group has applied the 'separate taxpayer within group'
approach in determining the appropriate amount of taxes to allocate to members of the tax consolidated group.
Current and non-current classification
Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification.
An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the
consolidated entity's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within
12 months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used
to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the consolidated entity's normal operating cycle;
it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or there is no
unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities
are classified as non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current.
Exploration Expenditure
Exploration expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are only carried
forward in relation to each area of interest to the extent the following conditions are satisfied:
(a) the rights to tenure of the area of interest are current; and
(b) at least one of the following conditions is also met:
(i)
the exploration and evaluation expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and
exploitation of the area of interest, or alternatively, by its sale; and
(ii) exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not at the reporting date reached a stage which
permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active
and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing.
30
3D Oil Limited
Notes to the financial statements
30 June 2018
Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit in the year in which the decision to
abandon the area is made.
When 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.
A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward cost
in relation to that area of interest.
Costs of site restoration are provided over the life of the facility from when exploration commences and are included in the
cost of that stage. Site restoration costs include the dismantling and removal of mining plant, equipment and building
structures, waste removal, and rehabilitation of the site in accordance with clauses of the mining permits. Such costs have
been determined using estimates of future costs, current legal requirements and technology on an undiscounted basis.
Any changes in the estimates for the costs are accounted on a prospective basis. In determining the costs of site restoration,
there is uncertainty regarding the nature and extent of the restoration due to community expectations and future legislation.
Accordingly the costs have been determined on the basis that the restoration will be completed within one year of abandoning
the site.
Impairment of non-financial assets
Goodwill and other intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually
for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other non-
financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount
may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its
recoverable amount.
Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The value-in-use is the
present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or
cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to
form a cash-generating unit.
Leases
The determination of whether an arrangement is or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement and
requires an assessment of whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets
and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset.
A distinction is made between finance leases, which effectively transfer from the lessor to the lessee substantially all the
risks and benefits incidental to ownership of leased assets, and operating leases, under which the lessor effectively retains
substantially all such risks and benefits.
Operating lease payments, net of any incentives received from the lessor, are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis
over the term of the lease.
The consolidated entity has not entered into any finance leases.
Goods and Services Tax ('GST') and other similar taxes
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not
recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the asset or as part of
the expense.
Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST
recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority is included in other receivables or other payables in the statement of
financial position.
Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities
which are recoverable from, or payable to the tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority.

Notes to the financial statements

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
Fair value measurement
When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, the fair
value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date; and assumes that the transaction will take place either: in the principal
market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market.
Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming
they act in their economic best interests. For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement is based on its highest and
best use. Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to
measure fair value, are used, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable
inputs.
New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory,
have not been early adopted by the consolidated entity for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2018. The consolidated
entity's assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, most relevant to the
consolidated entity, are set out below.
AASB 9 Financial Instruments
This standard and its consequential amendments are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January
2018 and completes phases I and III of the IASB's project to replace IAS 39 (AASB 139) 'Financial Instruments: Recognition
and Measurement'. This standard introduces new classification and measurement models for financial assets, using a single
approach to determine whether a financial asset is measured at amortised cost or fair value. The accounting for financial
liabilities continues to be classified and measured in accordance with AASB 139, with one exception, being that the portion
of a change of fair value relating to the entity's own credit risk is to be presented in other comprehensive income unless it
would create an accounting mismatch. Chapter 6 'Hedge Accounting' supersedes the general hedge accounting
requirements in AASB 139 and provides a new simpler approach to hedge accounting that is intended to more closely align
with risk management activities undertaken by entities when hedging financial and non-financial risks. The consolidated
entity will adopt this standard and the amendments from 1 January 2018, however these are not expected to impact the
results currently required for future years.
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The standard provides a single
standard for revenue recognition. The core principle of the standard is that an entity will recognise revenue to depict the
transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects
to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard will require: contracts (either written, verbal or implied)
to be identified, together with the separate performance obligations within the contract; determine the transaction price,
adjusted for the time value of money excluding credit risk; allocation of the transaction price to the separate performance
obligations on a basis of relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service, or estimation approach if no
distinct observable prices exist; and recognition of revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. Credit risk will be
presented separately as an expense rather than adjusted to revenue. For goods, the performance obligation would be
satisfied when the customer obtains control of the goods. For services, the performance obligation is satisfied when the
service has been provided, typically for promises to transfer services to customers. For performance obligations satisfied
over time, an entity would select an appropriate measure of progress to determine how much revenue should be recognised
as the performance obligation is satisfied. Contracts with customers will be presented in an entity's statement of financial
position as a contract liability, a contract asset, or a receivable, depending on the relationship between the entity's
performance and the customer's payment. Sufficient quantitative and qualitative disclosure is required to enable users to
understand the contracts with customers; the significant judgements made in applying the guidance to those contracts; and
any assets recognised from the costs to obtain or fulfil a contract with a customer. The consolidated entity will adopt this
standard from 1 January 2018 and it is not expected to impact the revenue currently reported when applied in future years.

3D Oil Limited
Notes to the financial statements
30 June 2018
Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
AASB 16 Leases
This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The standard replaces AASB
117 'Leases' and for lessees will eliminate the classifications of operating leases and finance leases. Subject to exceptions,
a 'right-of-use' asset will be capitalised in the statement of financial position, measured at the present value of the unavoidable
future lease payments to be made over the lease term. The exceptions relate to short-term leases of 12 months or less and
leases of low-value assets (such as personal computers and small office furniture) where an accounting policy choice exists
whereby either a 'right-of-use' asset is recognised or lease payments are expensed to profit or loss as incurred. A liability
corresponding to the capitalised lease will also be recognised, adjusted for lease prepayments, lease incentives received,
initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of any future restoration, removal or dismantling costs. Straight-line operating
lease expense recognition will be replaced with a depreciation charge for the leased asset (included in operating costs) and
an interest expense on the recognised lease liability (included in finance costs). In the earlier periods of the lease, the
expenses associated with the lease under AASB 16 will be higher when compared to lease expenses under AASB 117.
However EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation) results will be improved as the operating
expense is replaced by interest expense and depreciation in profit or loss under AASB 16. For classification within the
statement of cash flows, the lease payments will be separated into both a principal (financing activities) and interest (either
operating or financing activities) component. For lessor accounting, the standard does not substantially change how a lessor
accounts for leases. The consolidated entity will adopt this standard from 1 July 2019 and it is not expected to have material
impact to the balance sheet when applied in future years.
Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in
relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and
assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, management
believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal
the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material
adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year are
discussed below.
Share-based payment transactions
The consolidated entity measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the
equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using either the Binomial or Black-
Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The accounting
estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts
of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity.
Estimation of useful lives of assets
The consolidated entity determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation and amortisation charges for its
property, plant and equipment and finite life intangible assets. The useful lives could change significantly as a result of
technical innovations or some other event. The depreciation and amortisation charge will increase where the useful lives are
less than previously estimated lives, or technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold will
be written off or written down.
Exploration and evaluation costs
Exploration and evaluation costs have been capitalised on the basis that the consolidated entity will commence commercial
production in the future, from which time the costs will be amortised in proportion to the depletion of the mineral resources.
Key judgements are applied in considering costs to be capitalised which includes determining expenditures directly related
to these activities and allocating overheads between those that are expensed and capitalised. In addition, costs are only
capitalised that are expected to be recovered either through successful development or sale of the relevant mining interest.
The expectation of recovery of the costs capitalised is based on the assumption that the Group will be able to obtain adequate
financing to allow the continued exploration and subsequent development of areas of interest by either successfully farming
out a proportion of existing permits or raising adequate capital in its own right. To the extent that capitalised costs are
determined not to be recoverable in the future, they will be written off in the period in which this determination is made.

Notes to the financial statements
30 June 2018
Note 4. Operating segments
AASB 8 requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about the components of the
consolidated entity that are regularly reviewed by the chief decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segment and
to assess its performance. 3D Oil Limited operates in the development of oil and gas within Australia. The consolidated
entity's activities are therefore classified as one operating segment.
The chief decision makers, being the Board of Directors, assess the performance of the consolidated entity as a whole and
as such through one segment.
Accounting policy for operating segments
Operating segments are presented using the 'management approach', where the information presented is on the same basis
as the internal reports provided to the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM'). The CODM is responsible for the allocation
of resources to operating segments and assessing their performance.

Petroleum Resource Rent Tax (PRRT) applies to petroleum projects in Australian onshore and offshore areas under the
Petroleum Resource Rent Tax Assessment Act 1987. PRRT is assessed on a project basis or production licence area and
is levied on the taxable profits of a petroleum project at a rate of 40%. Production license VIC/L31 has been registered at a
project for PRRT purposes. Eligible expenditure incurred in relation to the production license VIC/L31 and permits VIC/P57
and T49P, attach to the permit and can be carried forward. Certain specified undeducted expenditure is eligible for annual
compounding at set rates. The compound amount can be deducted against assessable receipts in future years.
The Company has not recognised a deferred tax asset with respect to the carried forward undeducted expenditure.

The above potential tax benefit, which excludes tax losses, for deductible temporary differences has not been recognised in
the statement of financial position as the recovery of this benefit is uncertain.
The taxation benefits of tax losses and temporary difference not brought to account will only be obtained if:
(i)
the consolidated entity derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefit
from the deductions for the losses to be realised;
the consolidated entity continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by law; and
(ii)
(iii) no change in tax legislation adversely affects the company in realising the benefits from deducting the losses.

Trade receivables represent reimbursement of labour costs and third-party invoices by Carnarvon Hibiscus Pty Ltd.
The average credit period on trade and other receivables is 30 days. No interest is charged on the receivables. The
consolidated entity has financial risk management policies in place to ensure that all receivables are received within the
credit timeframe. Due to the short-term nature of these receivables, their carrying value is assumed to be approximate to
their fair value.
Accounting policy for trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective
interest method, less any provision for impairment. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days.
Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any provision for impairment.

Accounting policy for property, plant and equipment
Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Historical cost includes
expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the net cost of each item of property, plant and equipment
(excluding land) over their expected useful lives as follows:
Plant and equipment
3-7 years
The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.

Note 11. Non-current assets - intangibles (continued)
Accounting policy for intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination, other than goodwill, are initially measured at their fair value at
the date of the acquisition. Intangible assets acquired separately are initially recognised at cost. Indefinite life intangible
assets are not amortised and are subsequently measured at cost less any impairment. Finite life intangible assets are
subsequently measured at cost less amortisation and any impairment. The gains or losses recognised in profit or loss arising
from the derecognition of intangible assets are measured as the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying
amount of the intangible asset. The method and useful lives of finite life intangible assets are reviewed annually. Changes in
the expected pattern of consumption or useful life are accounted for prospectively by changing the amortisation method or
period.
Software
Significant costs associated with software are deferred and amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their expected
benefit, being their finite life of 5 years.

The exploration and evaluation assets relate to VIC/P57 offshore Gippsland Basin in Victoria, T/49P offshore Otway Basin
in Tasmania and WA-527-P in Western Australia. The recoverability of the carrying amounts of the exploration and evaluation
expenditure is dependent on the successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively the sale, of the
respective areas of interest.
During the financial year the exploration permit VIC/P57 has been renewed for a further 5 years to 2023.
The Company carried out an impairment review of the carrying amount of its exploration expenditure in VIC/P57, T/49P and
WA-527-P as at 30 June 2018.
Farm-outs — in the exploration and evaluation phase
The consolidated entity does not record any expenditure made by the farmee on its account. It also does not recognise any
gain or loss on its exploration and evaluation farm-out arrangements, but redesignates any costs previously capitalised in
relation to the whole interest as relating to the partial interest retained. Any cash consideration received directly from the
farmee is credited against costs previously capitalised in relation to the whole interest with any excess accounted for by the
farmor as a gain on disposal.

Note 12. Non-current assets - exploration and evaluation (continued)
Accounting policy for exploration and evaluation assets
Exploration and evaluation expenditure in relation to separate areas of interest for which rights of tenure are current is carried
forward as an asset in the statement of financial position where it is expected that the expenditure will be recovered through
the successful development and exploitation of an area of interest, or by its sale; or exploration activities are continuing in
an area and activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable estimate of the existence or otherwise of
economically recoverable reserves. Where a project or an area of interest has been abandoned, the expenditure incurred
thereon is written off in the year in which the decision is made.

The liability for long service leave not expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are measured as the
present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date
using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of
employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting
date on high quality corporate bond rates with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated
future cash outflows.

Ordinary shares
Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on the winding up of the company in proportion
to the number of and amounts paid on the shares held. The fully paid ordinary shares have no par value and the company
does not have a limited amount of authorised capital.
On a show of hands every member present at a meeting in person or by proxy shall have one vote and upon a poll each
share shall have one vote.
Capital risk management
The company's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can
provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimum capital structure to reduce
the cost of capital.
Capital is regarded as total equity, as recognised in the statement of financial position, plus net debt. Net debt is calculated
as total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders,
return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
The consolidated entity would look to raise capital when an opportunity to invest in a business or company was seen as
value adding relative to the current parent entity's share price at the time of the investment. The company is not actively
pursuing additional investments in the short term as it continues to integrate and grow its existing businesses in order to
maximise synergies.
The capital risk management policy remains unchanged from the 30 June 2017 Annual Report.
Options
For further information in relation to unissued ordinary shares of 3D Oil Limited under option, refer to the Directors' report
and Note 29.
Accounting policy for issued capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax,

Note 19. Financial instruments
Financial risk management objectives
The consolidated entity's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign currency risk, price
risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The consolidated entity's overall risk management program focuses
on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of
the consolidated entity. The consolidated entity uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is
exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate, foreign exchange and other price risks,
ageing analysis for credit risk and beta analysis in respect of investment portfolios to determine market risk.
Risk management is carried out by senior finance executives ('finance') under policies approved by the Board of Directors
('the Board'). These policies include identification and analysis of the risk exposure of the consolidated entity and appropriate
procedures, controls and risk limits. Finance identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks within the consolidated entity's
operating units. Finance reports to the Board on a monthly basis.
Market risk
Foreign currency risk
The consolidated entity undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currency and is exposed to foreign
currency risk through foreign exchange rate fluctuations. The consolidated entity operates a US dollar bank account for
the purpose of transacting in US dollars.
Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised financial assets and financial liabilities
denominated in a currency that is not the entity's functional currency. The risk is measured using sensitivity analysis and
cash flow forecasting.

Notes to the financial statements

Note 19. Financial instruments (continued)
Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the
consolidated entity. The consolidated entity has a strict code of credit, including obtaining agency credit information,
confirming references and setting appropriate credit limits. The consolidated entity obtains guarantees where appropriate to
mitigate credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date to recognised financial assets is the carrying
amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to
the financial statements. The consolidated entity does not hold any collateral.
Liquidity risk
Vigilant liquidity risk management requires the consolidated entity to maintain sufficient liquid assets (mainly cash and cash
equivalents) and available borrowing facilities to be able to pay debts as and when they become due and payable.
The consolidated entity manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves and available borrowing facilities by
continuously monitoring actual and forecast cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
Remaining contractual maturities
The following tables detail the consolidated entity's remaining contractual maturity for its financial instrument liabilities. The
tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which
the financial liabilities are required to be paid. The tables include both interest and principal cash flows disclosed as remaining
contractual maturities and therefore these totals may differ from their carrying amount in the statement of financial position.

Fair value of financial instruments
Unless otherwise stated, the carrying amounts of financial instruments reflect their fair value. The carrying amounts of trade
receivables and trade payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. The fair value of
financial liabilities is estimated by discounting the remaining contractual maturities at the current market interest rate that is
available for similar financial instruments.

Notes to the financial statements

Note 22. Commitments (continued)
In order to maintain current rights of tenure to exploration tenements, the consolidated entity is required to outlay rentals and
to meet the minimum work requirements and associated indicative expenditure of the National Offshore Petroleum Titles
Administrator ('NOPTA'). Minimum commitments may be subject to renegotiation and with approval may otherwise be
avoided by sale, farm out or relinquishment. These obligations are therefore not provided for in the financial statements as
payable.
During the previous financial year Beach Energy Ltd withdrew from its 30% interest in T/49P and this was assigned to 3D
Oil for Nil consideration. As a result of this assignment 3D Oil's equity interest in T/49P increased from 70% to 100%. The
Company is continuing with its international farm-out process to reduce exposure to risk and expenditure.
The Company has included its commitments for indicative expenditure in the above note partly relating to Exploration Permit
T/49P up to year 4 as outlined in the permit documentation. The permit is currently in Year 5 which includes a $10million
work programme for 3D Seismic acquisition, processing, interpretation and prospect maturation. The actual cost of the work
programme is likely to be less than this amount. To fund this work programme the Company continues to engage with a
number of large international petroleum companies in seeking interest to contribute significant investment to the project,
discussions progress under confidentiality agreements. Commitments from year 5 onwards are confirmed on a year-by-year
basis dependent on the Company agreeing to proceed. If the Company was to proceed beyond year 4 in relation to T/49P,
the current indicative expenditure commitment for Years 5-6 is currently gross $30 million and this would be occurring in
2018-2020 years.
In relation to VIC/P57, the Company has included its commitments for indicative expenditure in the above note relating to
VIC/P57 up to year 3. If the Company was to proceed beyond year 4 in relation to VIC/P57, the current indicative expenditure
commitments for Years 4-5 is currently gross $31.3 million and this would be occurring in 2022-2023 years. The Company
announced on 7 March 2018 the renewal of the permit by NOPTA for a further five years.
During the financial year the Company was awarded a new exploration permit, WA-527-P in the Roebuck Basin of Western
Australia. The Company has included its commitments for indicative expenditure in the above note relating to WA-527-P up
to year 4. Commitments from year 5 onwards are confirmed on a year-by-year basis dependent on the Company agreeing
to proceed. If the Company was to proceed beyond year 5 in relation to WA-527-P, the current indicative expenditure
commitment for Years 5-6 is currently gross $30.5 million and this would be occurring in 2022-2023 years.

Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of 3D Oil Limited, excluding any costs
of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the
financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the financial year.
Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the
after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted
average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.

Accounting policy for share-based payments
Equity-settled and cash-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees.
Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, or options over shares, that are provided to employees in exchange for the
rendering of services. Cash-settled transactions are awards of cash for the exchange of services, where the amount of cash
is determined by reference to the share price.
The cost of equity-settled transactions are measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is independently determined using
either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option,
the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend
yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option, together with non-vesting conditions that do not determine
whether the consolidated entity receives the services that entitle the employees to receive payment. No account is taken of
any other vesting conditions.
The cost of equity-settled transactions are recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting
period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award, the best estimate
of the number of awards that are likely to vest and the expired portion of the vesting period. The amount recognised in profit
or loss for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts already recognised in previous
periods.

3D Oil Limited
Notes to the financial statements
30 June 2018
Note 29. Share-based payments (continued)
The cost of cash-settled transactions is initially, and at each reporting date until vested, determined by applying either the
Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model, taking into consideration the terms and conditions on which the award was
granted. The cumulative charge to profit or loss until settlement of the liability is calculated as follows:
●
during the vesting period, the liability at each reporting date is the fair value of the award at that date multiplied by the
expired portion of the vesting period.
from the end of the vesting period until settlement of the award, the liability is the full fair value of the liability at the
reporting date.
●
All changes in the liability are recognised in profit or loss. The ultimate cost of cash-settled transactions is the cash paid to
settle the liability.
Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining fair value. Therefore any awards subject to market conditions
are considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition has been met, provided all other conditions are
satisfied.
If equity-settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the modification has not been made. An
additional expense is recognised, over the remaining vesting period, for any modification that increases the total fair value
of the share-based compensation benefit as at the date of modification.
If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the consolidated entity or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition is
treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the consolidated entity or employee and is not satisfied
during the vesting period, any remaining expense for the award is recognised over the remaining vesting period, unless the
award is forfeited.
If equity-settled awards are cancelled, it is treated as if it has vested on the date of cancellation, and any remaining expense
is recognised immediately. If a new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled award, the cancelled and new award
is treated as if they were a modification.

Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial
report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in
forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matter
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Exploration and Evaluation Assets - valuation
As all of the tenements held by 3D Oil Limited are in the
exploration stage, exploration expenditure is capitalised in
accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 6
Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources.
The Company is required to assess at each reporting date if
there are any triggers for impairment which may suggest the
carrying value is in excess of the recoverable value. Any
impairment losses are then measured in accordance with
AASB 136 Impairment of Assets.
AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources
requires exploration and evaluation asset to be assessed for
impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the
carrying amount of an exploration and evaluation asset may
exceed its recoverable amount. AASB 6 provides a list of 4
indicators, however that list is not exhaustive and therefore
subjectivity is involved in the assessment.
This area is a key audit matter as significant judgement is
required in determining whether the facts and circumstances
suggest that the carrying amount of an exploration and
evaluation asset may exceed its recoverable amount, and
then consequently in measuring any impairment loss.
Our procedures included, amongst others:
• Obtaining the management prepared reconciliation of
capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure and
agreeing to the general ledger;
• Selecting a sample of capitalised exploration and
evaluation expenditure and obtain documentation to
support the amount capitalised in line with AASB 6;
• Critically reviewing management's assessment of
impairment indicators for the Group's capitalised
exploration assets under AASB 6 by:
o Assessing the period for the right to explore the
areas of interest have not expired or will not expire in
the near future without an expectation of renewal;
o Enquiring of management regarding their intentions
to carry out exploration and evaluation activity in the
relevant exploration area, including review of
managements’ budgeted expenditure;
o Understanding whether any data exists that indicates
the carrying value of these exploration and evaluation
assets are unlikely to be recovered from successful
development or by sale; and
o Considering any other available evidence of
impairment.
• Reviewing related financial statement disclosures.
Information other than the financial report and auditor’s report thereon
The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the
Company’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2018, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report
thereon.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance
conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider
whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or
otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are
required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the financial report
The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in
accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the Directors
determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the Directors are responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless
the Directors either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance
is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing
Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are
considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions
of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and Assurance
Standards Board website at: http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar2.pdf. This description forms part of our
auditor’s report.
