OPERATING SUMMARY
Bengal has filed its consolidated financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis for the second quarter of fiscal year 2020 with the Canadian securities regulators. The documents are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com or by visiting Bengal’s website at www.bengalenergy.ca. BUSINESS OVERVIEW AUSTRALIA – Cooper Basin, Queensland PL 303 Barta Block Cuisinier (controlling permit ATP 752) (30.357% WI) The Cuisinier 29 well is on production from the newly discovered DC-50 zone. A development plan for this new zone is under preparation with further drilling and evaluation expected in Q1 calendar 2020. Planning and drilling location selection is underway for the next multi-well development and appraisal drilling campaign which is expected to commence late in the second quarter of calendar 2020. A pilot reservoir pressure maintenance scheme, is planned to commence during the first quarter of calendar 2020. The location of this pilot is in the southeast quadrant of the Cuisinier pool, with injection of water to take place at the Cuisinier-24 well. The broad nature of the Cuisinier structure combined with variable flank aquifer pressure support has resulted in pressure depletion within the central portion of the Cuisinier pool. The injection of produced formation water is anticipated to increase production up to four offsetting wells. In addition, the program will also complement future water flood expansion phases currently in the initial planning stages. About Bengal Bengal Energy Ltd. is an international junior oil and gas exploration and production company with assets in Australia. The Company is committed to growing shareholder value through international exploration, production and acquisitions. Bengal’s common shares trade on the TSX under the symbol “BNG”.

Selected Definitions The following terms used in this news release have the meanings set forth below: bbl – barrel Non-IFRS Measurements Within this news release references are made to terms commonly used in the oil and gas industry. Funds from operations, funds from operations per share, operating netback, netback per bbl, adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per share do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS and previous GAAP and are referred to as non-IFRS measures. Funds from operations per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding consistent with the calculation of net income (loss) per share. Operating netback includes realized losses on financial instruments. Netback per bbl is calculated by dividing revenue (including realized loss on financial instruments) less royalties, operating expenses by the total production of the Company measured in bbl. Adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per share are calculated based on Net income (loss) plus unrealized loss (gain) on financial instruments less unrealized foreign exchange loss (gain) and non-cash impairment of non-current assets. The Company’s calculation of the non-IFRS measures included herein may differ from the calculation of similar measures by other issuers. Therefore, the Company’s non-IFRS measures may not be comparable to other similar measures used by other issuers. Funds from operations is not intended to represent operating profit for the period nor should it be viewed as an alternative to operating profit, net income, cash flow from operations or other measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with IFRS. Non-IFRS measures should only be used in conjunction with the Company’s annual audited and interim financial statements. A reconciliation of these measures can be found in the table on pages 7 and 18 of Bengal’s management’s discussion and analysis for the Q2 and fiscal year ended March 31, 2020.
