The production test has been approved for a period of 3 months during which time the well will be produced at a variety of rates as necessary to acquire information on reservoir performance, confirm the commerciality of the discovery and enable the planning of facilities required for full field development.

During the period of the test the oil produced will be trucked to the BP oil refinery south of Perth for sale.

ASX Release

13 May 2003

Eremia 1, Onshore Perth Basin, Western Australia Production testing commenced at 1,000 bopd

Origin Energy Resources Limited* advises that the exploration well Eremia 1 operated by ARC Energy NL and located in the onshore Perth Basin Production Licence L1, was perforated and flow tested on 11 May at an initial constrained rate of 1,600 barrels of oil per day (bopd) through a 100/64 inch choke. The well has now commenced a production test and cleanup program at a constrained rate of 1,000 bopd. The initial analysis of the oil recovered is that it is very similar to that from the Hovea Field.

The forward plan is to continue to flow the well at a stable rate of 1,000 bopd for up to four weeks to gather reservoir and operational data to design the most efficient permanent production system for the field. During this evaluation flow period for Eremia, the total production rate for the Hovea and Eremia Fields will be constrained to 5,000 barrels of oil per day.

Participants in L1 and L2 (excluding the Dongara, Mondarra and Yardarino fields), and Eremia 1 are:

Origin Energy Developments Pty Limited*		50.00	%
Arc Energy NL (Operator)		50.00	%
