ITEM 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement

      On February 25, 2005 Deep Well Oil & Gas, Inc. ("Deep Well") signed a
farmout agreement (the "Agreement") with Surge Global Energy, Inc and Surge
Global Energy (Canada), Ltd. (collectively "Surge"). The Agreement allowed Surge
to earn up to a 40% working interest in the farmout lands if it met certain
conditions, including that it "spud" a first well on the farmout lands or before
the deadline contained in the Agreement. The Agreement was amended by the
parties on July 14, 2005 to provide Surge with an extension, to September 25,
2005, to meet its obligations under the Agreement. Surge did not "spud" the
first well on or prior to September 25, 2005.

      On September 26, 2005, Deep Well notified Surge that Surge was in default
(the "Notice") under the Agreement, and terminated the Agreement. In the Notice,
Deep Well notified Surge that Surge failed to meet the Agreement's condition
that Surge spud a test well on the farmout lands on or prior to September 25,
2005, and was in breach of other provisions of the Agreement.
