EXPLANATORY NOTES
These Explanatory Notes form part of this Notice of Meeting and should be read in conjunction with it.
Each of the Resolutions is an ordinary resolution, which requires a simple majority of votes to be cast in favour by Shareholders entitled to vote on each Resolution.
1. OVERVIEW
On 23rd August 2016, the Company announced that it had established a US$15,000,000 secured convertible note facility that would provide the Company with the financial flexibility to progress the Company’s development projects in the USA and the Middle East and North Africa (“MENA”) which will provide early cash flow. The funds available will be used for the development of the Main Pass 270 #3 well “Hummer” substantial gas/oil discovery in the Gulf of Mexico, USA, through to production, the restart and optimisation of the 5,000 to 10,000 bopd capacity An Nagyah Oilfield in Block S-1, Yemen and to acquire other oil production opportunities in Yemen or the MENA region.
The terms of the Convertible Notes are set out in the Secured Convertible Notes Deed Poll dated 23rd August 2016 (subsequently amended by a deed of variation dated 14th September 2016), a summary of which is set out in Schedule 1 of this Notice of Meeting.
The Convertible Notes are currently designated debt securities which require Shareholder approval to allow the intent of the Deed Poll to be honoured to allow Noteholders to effect conversion of the Convertible Notes into Shares. Approval of Resolution 1 allows the Convertible Notes issued according to the Deed Poll, to be converted into Shares without the need for further Shareholder approval at that time a notice to convert is received by the Company.
On 17th October 2016, in accordance with the terms of the Deed Poll, the Company issued 5,000,000 Shares, being the Facility Fee Shares, to the Registrar.
In summary, this Notice of Meeting seeks the approval of Shareholders for the purposes of the ASX Listing Rule 7.1 of the ASX Listing Rules, to permit conversion of the Convertible Notes into Shares at any time up to the 31st December 2017, in accordance with the terms of the Deed Poll (Resolution 1), and to ratify ,for the purposes of the ASX Listing Rule 7.1 of the ASX Listing Rules, the Facility Fee Shares which have been issued under the terms of the Deed Poll (Resolution 2).
2. RESOLUTION 1
APPROVAL, FOR PURPOSES OF ASX LISTING RULE 7.1, OF THE CONVERSION OF THE CONVERTIBLE NOTES ACCORDING TO THE DEED POLL, INTO SHARES IN THE COMPANY AT ANY TIME UP TO 31 DECEMBER 2017
This Resolution seeks the approval of Shareholders to allow, for purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1, the issue of Shares upon conversion of Convertible Notes at any time prior to 31st December 2017 in accordance with the terms of the Deed Poll. Approval of this Resolution is to give effect to the convertibility of debt into equity in accordance with the Deed Poll, while maintaining the Company’s 7.1 Capacity. This will allow the Company to issue further securities up to the limit of 15% of the issued capital of the Company in the next 12 month period without Shareholder approval.
Set out below is all information known to the Company that is material to the decision on how to vote on the Resolution.

2.1 Listing Rule 7.1
Listing Rule 7.1 enables entities with shareholder approval to issue securities comprising more than 15% of the entity’s ordinary securities then on issue. Approval of Resolution 1 allows the Company to issue Shares pursuant to the Deed Poll for Convertible Notes issued at any time up to 31st December 2017 without using the Company’s 7.1 Capacity.
Formula for calculating the 7.1 Capacity
Listing Rule 7.1 provides that entities with shareholder approval must not issue or agree to issue more equity securities than the number calculated according to the following formula:
(A x B) – C
A is the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue 12 months before the date of issue or
agreement to issue:
(a) plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the 12 months under an
exception in Listing Rule 7.2;
(b) plus the number of partly paid ordinary securities that became fully paid in the 12
months;
(c) plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the 12 months with approval
of holders of shares under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;
(d) less the number of fully paid ordinary securities cancelled in the 12 months.
B is 15%.
C is the number of equity securities issued or agreed to be issued before the date of issue or agreement to issue that are not issued:
(a) under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;
(b) under Listing Rule 7.2; or
(c) with shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.4.
2.2 ASX waiver
Under Listing Rule 7.3.2, any issue of securities approved with shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 must be issued within 3 months of the Company receiving shareholder approval. The Deed Poll provides that the Convertible Notes can be issued in three Tranches if the conditions applicable to the Issued Convertible Notes can be converted into Shares up until the maturity date of 31st December 2017. Shareholder approval at this meeting in December 2016 granting approval to issue Convertible Notes which may be converted to Shares up to the 31st December 2017 exceeds the 3 month limit set out in Listing Rule 7.3.2.
Consequently, the Company sought and was granted on 21st October 2016 a waiver of Listing Rule 7.3.2 from the ASX. The waiver allows conversion of the Convertible Notes at any time before the Maturity Date without affecting the Company’s 7.1 Capacity.
2.3 The effect on the Company of the issue of the Convertible Notes and the potential conversion into Shares
(a) Capital structure.
The principal effect of the issue of the Convertible Notes on the Company will be to:

(ii) increase the number of unlisted secured convertible notes on issue from nil to US$15,000,000 worth of Convertible Notes; and
(iii) give rise to the Company having a liability for up to US$15,000,000 plus interest at 10% per annum, compounding monthly, capitalising into the principal amount of the Convertible Notes.
(b) Potential increase in number of Shares.
At the date of this Notice of Meeting, the issued capital of the Company was 236,461,630 Shares.
The potential effect of the issue of the Convertible Notes on the Company will be to increase the number of Shares on issue if the Convertible Notes are converted, in accordance with the terms described in Schedule 1.
Should the maximum amount of Convertible Notes be issued (US$15,000,000), then up to 46,000,000 new Shares could be issued if the all of the notes are converted into Shares as permitted by the Deed Poll. The effect on the issued share capital of the Company on conversion of all the Convertible Notes is set out in Schedule 2, which is based on the conversion prices for Shares stated in the Deed Poll:
Tranche 1: Interest –A$0.15/Share;
Tranche 1: Principal (up to 50% may be converted) – A$0.20/Share;
Tranche 2: Principal and interest (up to 50% may be converted) – A$0.30/Share; and

3. RESOLUTION 2

Under the terms of the Deed Poll, the Company agreed that, following the initial subscription for Convertible Notes, the Company would issue the Registrar 5,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares as a Facility Fee for arranging the subscription of the Convertible Notes.
Approval of this Resolution will refresh the ability of the Company to issue further securities up to the limit of 15% of the issued capital of the Company in the next 12 month period without Shareholder approval.
By issuing the Shares as a Facility Fee, the Company has used part of its 15% new issue capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

*Note: 6,592 is a rounding error only and to be disregarded.
The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
1. The Noteholder converts the maximum number of Convertible Notes;
2. The relevant interest rate is 10%, and interest is calculated based on assumptions as to issue dates and conversion dates as follows:
Tranche Issue Date Conversion Date and Share Issue Date
Amount (US$)

PETSEC ENERGY LTD ACN 000 602 700
3rd November 2016,
Dear Shareholder,
On behalf of the Directors of the Company, I am pleased to invite you to attend the Petsec Energy Ltd
Extraordinary General Meeting (“EGM”) to be held at The Museum of Sydney, corner of Bridge &
Phillip Streets Sydney on Thursday 1st December 2016 at 11.00 a.m. (AEDT).
The purpose of the EGM is to seek the approval of Shareholders, for the purposes of the ASX Listing
Rule 7.1 of the ASX Listing Rules, to permit the potential issue of the Company’s shares (Shares) at
any time up to the 31st December 2017, should there be conversion of the Convertible Notes into
Shares in accordance with the terms of the secured convertible note facility established by the
Company on 23rd August 2016, and to ratify, for the purposes of the ASX Listing Rule 7.1 of the
ASX Listing Rules, the issue of 5,000,000 Shares to the Convertible Note Registrar on 17th October
2016, being a facility fee for arranging the subscription of the Convertible Notes, such that the issue
of Shares does not use the Company’s ASX Listing Rule 7.1 capacity to issue further securities up to
15% of the Company’s issued capital at any time.
I recommend that shareholders vote for both resolutions to ensure the Company has optimal financial
flexibility.
On the 23rd August 2016, the Company announced that it had established a US$15,000,000 secured
convertible note facility that would provide the Company with the financial flexibility to progress the
Company’s development projects in the USA and the Middle East and North Africa (“MENA”) which
will provide early cash flow.
The available funds will be used for the appraisal and development of the Hummer gas/oil Field,
discovered by the Company in late 2015 in the Gulf of Mexico, USA, through to production of the
discovery well (Tranche 1: US$5 million); the restart and optimisation of the 5,000 to 10,000 barrels
of oil per day (bopd) capacity An Nagyah Oilfield in the Damis (Block S-1) Production Licence in
Yemen acquired by the Company in February 2016 (Tranche 2: US$5 million); and to acquire other
oil production opportunities in Yemen or the MENA region (Tranche 3: US$5million).
The first tranche of US$5 million will largely be used to fund the Company’s share of the appraisal
and development costs of the Main Pass 270 # 3 discovery well in the Hummer gas/oil Field, which
includes construction and installation of a 4 pile jacket capable of supporting a minimum of four
production wells and production facilities to accommodate production of up to eight wells,
completion of the discovery well in the Bigenerina Humblei (Big Hum) sand reservoir for production
and testing of the completed well to determine production rates and gas and oil volumes to allow
sizing of the production facilities and pipelines, and consequent construction of production facilities
for the platform.
The fabrication and installation of the jacket has now been completed, with the tie-back, well
completion, and testing anticipated to be completed in mid-November 2016. Following completion
and testing of the well, the deck facilities and pipelines will be fabricated and installed.
Commercial production from the well is anticipated during second quarter 2017.
In addition to the Big Hum sand reservoir that will be completed and tested in the Main Pass 270 # 3
well, other sand reservoirs in the Middle Miocene age Texularia W (Tex W) and Cristellaria I (Cris I)
were identified from well logs as hydrocarbon bearing in the discovery well. These additional oil and
gas bearing sands, along with the Big Hum sand reservoir will be drill targets in the future delineation
and development wells, the drilling of which is anticipated to begin mid-year 2017.

Map 1: Petsec Energy Gulf of Mexico and Louisiana Gulf Coast, USA exploration and production leases
The Hummer gas/oil Field age equivalent Middle Miocene reservoirs are prolific producers in nearby
fields on trend to Hummer and with a similar style of trapping mechanism. The most significant of
these fields is the Main Pass 280/281/283 and Viosca Knoll 734 complex of fields, 14 miles to the
East, which have produced approximately 85 million barrels of oil equivalent (“MMboe”), of which
an estimated 37 MMboe comes from age equivalent Big Hum and Cris I reservoirs. Maximum
production rates from those productive reservoir sands were 25 million cubic feet of gas per day plus
1,100 barrels of condensate per day for a gas and condensate reservoir, to approximately 6,200 barrels
of oil per day plus 7.5 million cubic feet of gas per day, for an oil or high condensate yield prone
reservoir.
The Hummer gas/oil Field is a substantial oil and gas discovery covering a large prospective area
extending over three offshore lease blocks of Main Pass 270, 273 and 274. The indicated resource
potential, supported by the discovery well, 3D seismic and data from the proximal analogue fields at
Main Pass 280/281/283 and Viosca Knoll 734, exceeds the Company’s pre-drill mapped target
estimates for the Hummer prospect of 59 billion cubic feet of gas and 1.2 million barrels of oil to 183
billion cubic feet of gas and 3.7 million barrels of oil gross in the Big Hum reservoir. Development of
the Hummer Field will require, on current estimates, up to seven additional wells plus facilities to
define and develop the full extent of the reserves.

Map 2: Petsec licence location and Yemen infrastructure
The balance of the first US$5 million tranche of convertible notes and the second tranche of US$5
million will be applied to the re-start of oil production from the An Nagyah Oilfield on the Damis
(Block S-1) Production Licence in Yemen.
The Damis (Block S-1) is located in the prolific Shabwa Basin approximately 80 kilometres to the
Southwest of the Company’s other lease in Yemen, Block 7, some 450 kilometres connected by oil
pipeline East of the Ras Isa oil terminal on the Red Sea, some 250 kilometres North by road of the Bir
Ali oil export terminal on the Bay of Aden, and 450 kilometres West by road of the Masila Basin
Production Hub.
The Damis (Block S-1) Production Licence holds five sizeable oil and gas discoveries – the developed
and productive (until suspended in 2014) An Nagyah Oilfield, which holds 12.8 million barrels of oil
gross to Petsec Energy as estimated by DeGolyer and McNaughton Canada Limited (5.6 million
barrels net to Petsec with a PV10 in the order of US$155 million 1), and a further four undeveloped oil
and gas fields – Osaylan, An Naeem, Wadi Bayhan, and Harmel which hold in excess of 34 million
barrels of recoverable oil and 550 Bcf of gas 2 which will be a source of future growth of reserves and
production for the Company.

Figure 2: An Nagyah Central Processing Facility with oil storage in the foreground
The previous operator had invested over US$450 million on the Block over a period of 10 years
developing the An Nagyah Oilfield with attendant production facilities which have the capacity to
process up to 20,000 barrels of oil per day (bopd) producing into an 80,000 bopd pipeline, which joins
the 350,000 bopd Marib export pipeline to the Ras Isa terminal on the Red Sea.
The An Nagyah Oilfield has been shut-in since February 2014 following the declaration of Force
Majeure by the previous operator due to political issues in Yemen. The field at the time of shut-in was
producing at a restricted rate of over 5,600 bopd and of the order of 10,000 bopd at an unrestricted
rate two years earlier.
Since March 2015, Yemen has been in political turmoil which has resulted in an armed conflict
between two major political alliances. The elected government is supported by the UN and a large
coalition of Middle Eastern countries led by Saudi Arabia, which placed an embargo on all oil exports
from Yemen. We anticipate the conflict is nearing its end with ongoing UN sponsored peace
negotiations taking place over the past five months.
In August of this year, oil was shipped from Yemen for the first time since March 2015 when 4
million barrels of oil were shipped from the Ash Shihr terminal near Mukalla on the Gulf of Aden
which services Masila Basin oil production, and in turn the Masila oilfields have returned to
production. The Aden Refinery, which has a 150,000 bopd processing capacity, has returned to
production and the Company anticipates the restart of the Total operated LNG plant at Bal Haf on the
Gulf of Aden. During the conflict the country’s oil and gas infrastructure was largely untouched.

Company information is available on: petsec.com.au
With the recommencement of oil shipments from Ash Shihr there is an opportunity for Petsec Energy
to transport An Nagyah oil production by truck either to the Masila hub to the East or South to the Bir
Ali terminal until such time as the Ras Isa terminal on the Red Sea reopens for shipping oil, which
allows production through the Marib pipeline.
The An Nagyah oil production facility has been well maintained during the shut-in period and
preparations are now underway for the re-start of production as soon as the political/logistical
situation allows.
The testing of the Hummer discovery well and the promise of an early restart of production from An
Nagyah should see renewed interest in the assets of the Company and their large potential value.
Yours sincerely
Terrence N. Fern
Chairman and Managing Director
