   Operational Update - Kyalla 117 N2-1H ST2 
 
   10 December 2020 - Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd. (TSXV: FO, AIM: FOG) provides 
an update on exploration activity in the Beetaloo Sub-basin, Northern 
Territory, Australia following the successful hydraulic stimulation of 
the Kyalla 117 N2-1H ST2 well ("Kyalla 117"). 
 
   As announced on 25 November 2020, operations were being planned to 
re-enter Kyalla 117 with coiled tubing and apply nitrogen lift to lower 
the pressure in the wellbore and to assist with achieving and sustaining 
gas breakthrough. If successful, this would allow extended production 
testing to commence. The timing of operations was carefully considered 
as the wet season approaches, with health, safety, environmental and 
cost considerations in mind. 
 
   The JV has decided to execute operations without delay with all of the 
necessary equipment and consumables for the nitrogen lift being prepared 
to mobilise to the well site. 
 
   Further updates will be provided to the market as appropriate. 
 
   Philip O'Quigley (CEO of Falcon) commented: 
 
   "The decision to execute operations without delay is really good news 
and we look forward to updating the market as information from 
operations is available" 
 
   Ends.

forward-looking information. Forward-looking information typically 
contains statements with words such as "may", "will", "should", "expect", 
"intend", "plan", "anticipate", "believe", "estimate", "projects", 
"dependent", "potential", "scheduled", "forecast", "outlook", "budget", 
"hope", "support" or the negative of those terms or similar words 
suggesting future outcomes.  In particular, forward-looking information 
in this press release includes, but is not limited to, comments made 
with respect to the type, number, schedule, stimulating, testing and 
objectives of the wells to be drilled in the Beetaloo Sub-basin 
Australia, plans to re-enter Kyalla 117 with coiled tubing and apply 
nitrogen lift techniques and the likelihood of such operations being 
successful, the prospectivity of the Middle Velkerri and Kyalla plays 
and the prospect of the exploration programme being brought to 
commerciality. This information is based on current expectations that 
are subject to significant risks and uncertainties that are difficult to 
predict. The risks, assumptions and other factors that could influence 
actual results include risks associated with fluctuations in market 
prices for shale gas; risks related to the exploration, development and 
production of shale gas reserves; general economic, market and business 
conditions; substantial capital requirements; uncertainties inherent in 
estimating quantities of reserves and resources; extent of, and cost of 
compliance with, government laws and regulations and the effect of 
changes in such laws and regulations; the need to obtain regulatory 
approvals before development commences; environmental risks and hazards 
and the cost of compliance with environmental regulations; aboriginal 
claims; risks and uncertainties associated with wellbore or reservoir 
conditions; inherent risks and hazards with operations such as 
mechanical or pipe failure, cratering and other dangerous conditions; 
potential cost overruns, drilling wells is speculative, often involving 
significant costs that may be more than estimated and may not result in 
any discoveries; variations in foreign exchange rates; competition for 
capital, equipment, new leases, pipeline capacity and skilled personnel; 
the failure of the holder of licenses, leases and permits to meet 
requirements of such; changes in royalty regimes; failure to accurately 
estimate abandonment and reclamation costs; inaccurate estimates and 
assumptions by management and their joint venture partners; 
effectiveness of internal controls; the potential lack of available 
drilling equipment; failure to obtain or keep key personnel; title 
deficiencies; geo-political risks; and risk of litigation. 
 
   Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list of important factors is 
not exhaustive and that these factors and risks are difficult to 
predict. Actual results might differ materially from results suggested 
in any forward-looking statements.  Falcon assumes no obligation to 
update the forward-looking statements, or to update the reasons why 
actual results could differ from those reflected in the forward 
looking-statements unless and until required by securities laws 
applicable to Falcon. Additional information identifying risks and 
uncertainties is contained in Falcon's filings with the Canadian
