QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT FOR
THE THREE MONTHS ENDED 31 MARCH 2005
Following a successful capital raising in the previous quarter Gippsland Offshore Petroleum Limited ("GOP") listed on the Australian Stock Exchange on 10 January 2005, and farmed into three permits in which Lakes Oil N.L. or a wholly owned subsidiary company held an interest. The permit areas are PEP 155 (Marlo Block), Vic/P40 V and Vic/P47 (west) (Gilbert Blocks).
ONSHORE GIPPSLAND BASIN
PEP 155 Western Block - Onshore, Victoria
(Lakes Oil Group, Operator: 100% interest)
Results of the airborne Falcon gravimetric, radiometric and magnetics surveys are being integrated with available geological and seismic data from nearby offshore areas. These results are being co-ordinated with ongoing geological mapping and aerial photographic studies conducted across both portions of the PEP 155 permit.
PEP 155 Marlo Block (Eastern portion) - Onshore, Victoria
(Lakes Oil Group, Operator: 46% interest)
Two prospects, "Banjo" and "Patrobus" in the Marlo Block have been identified from air photo interpretation together with results from Falcon gravimetric, radiometric and magnetics surveys. Results of this data are being integrated with available geological and seismic data from nearby offshore areas. These two shallow prospects are expected to be drilled in the June Quarter.
PEP 156 - Onshore, Victoria
(Lakes Oil Group, Operator: 100% interest)
Geological studies, which are continuing, were conducted in the Bairnsdale/ Lakes Entrance area and around Loch Sport. A better understanding of the geology and petroleum potential is emerging. This work has up-graded the Lochport- Secombe area in particular.
PEP 157 - Onshore, Victoria
(Lakes Oil Group, Operator: 100% interest of overall permit Roma Petroleum NL has a 5% over-riding royalty)
Field operations and geological/geophysical studies occurred during the quarter in this highly prospective permit. The field activities included:
Echidna High - 1 exploration well
(Lakes Oil Group, Operator: 100% interest)
Echidna High - 1 well was spudded on 26 February 2005 and programmed to drill to a depth of 1,500 metres to test a mapped seismic structure located some10 kilometres north-west of the Wombat discovery wells. The primary target was sands in the Strzelecki Group and secondary target in the Latrobe Group. The section intersected was affected by faulting and the top of the Latrobe and Strzelecki Groups were intersected deeper than anticipated. After minor gas shows were recorded in the Strzelecki Group at 1,591 metres, it was decided to case the well to 1,600 metres and test the section in the interval between 1,590 and 1,609 metres. No significant shows were encountered in the testing. The well continued to a total depth of 1,868 metres when electric logs were run to examine the nature of the deeper section penetrated on both sides of the fault forming the structure. Detailed interpretation of the well and seismic data are currently being conducted. The well reached total depth on 22 March 2005.
WOMBAT BLOCK
(Lakes Oil Group, Operator: 92.5% Private interests 7.5%)
Wombat - 2 well test
Wombat - 2 well was re-opened for extended gas flow-testing during drilling of the nearby Echidna High well while personnel were in the area. The well continued to flow gas to the surface for over a week before being shut-in to establish the build-up pressures in the reservoir sands. Results of the testing are currently being evaluated by Halliburton in Denver, Colorado.
TRIFON BLOCK
(Lakes Oil Group, Operator: 50% Jarden Corporation Australia Pty Ltd 50%)
Trifon - 2, North Seaspray - 3
Further evaluation continues on the results of the Trifon and North Seaspray wells and the Wombat Gas Field.
Since the end of this quarter, Lakes Oil N.L. has contracted an experienced hydraulic fracturing expert, Mr. Jim Macadam, to evaluate the economic feasibility of development of the Wombat and Trifon gas reservoirs and to oversee the fracture stimulation program on both the Wombat-3 and Trifon-2 wells. Initial evaluation on the commercial development of these wells is expected to be available in the next quarter.
Geological and geophysical
Large scale re-mapping of all existing seismic in PEP 157 continued during the quarter. This re-mapping in both PEP 157 and the adjoining permit PEP 158, will provide continuous maps of the western portion of the onshore Gippsland Basin.
PEP 158 - Onshore, Victoria
(Lakes Oil Group, Operator: 100% interest)
Work is continuing on re-mapping of all the existing seismic in the permit in conjunction with that from the adjoining permit PEP 157. All relevant well data has been reviewed so that it can be calibrated with the seismic. The re-mapping in both PEP 158 and the adjoining permit PEP 157, will provide continuous maps of the western portion of the onshore Gippsland Basin.
PEP 166 - Onshore, Victoria
(Lakes Oil Group: 50% interest; Operator: Lakes Oil jointly with AusAm Resources Limited)
Geological studies have continued in this permit in the South Gippsland Hills. Several leads and prospects on the subsurface top of Strzelecki Group have been identified. These include leads at Hazelwood and Loy Yang. A drilling proposal is being prepared for the drilling of the Hazelwood prospect.
OFFSHORE GIPPSLAND BASIN
VIC /P47 (GILBERT BLOCK ) - Offshore, Victoria
(Lakes Oil Group: 26% interest; Operator: Bass Strait Oil Co)
Geological studies continued on the Gilbert Prospect and on new play concepts in this block. The seismically defined Gilbert Prospect is planned to be drilled later in the year, using the "Ocean Pariot" semi-submersible drilling rig.
The participating interests in the Gilbert Block subsequent to drilling of Gilbert would be:
Gippsland Offshore Petroleum Ltd 51%
Petro Tech Pty Ltd - a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lakes Oil 26%
Rilo Explorations Pty Ltd 3%
Moby Oil and Gas Ltd 10%
Eagle Bay Resources NL 10%
Work is continuing on the Gilbert prospect and on new play concepts in the permit.
VIC/P40 (V) - Nearshore, Victoria
(Lakes Oil Group - 39.2%; Operator: Lakes Oil NL)
During the previous quarter, the company signed a farm-in agreement with Gippsland Offshore Petroleum Ltd. Lakes Oil have a participating interest of 39.2% subsequent to GOP's expenditure.
Further interpretation of the Falcon airborne gravity and magnetic survey continued in this permit in Victorian territorial waters between Lakes Entrance and Marlo. The interpretation has identified the Foster Prospect and the Harman Lead, a structural trap. The Foster Prospect has adequate seismic coverage and could be drilled at short notice.

Notes
The quarterly report provides a basis for informing the market how the entity’s activities have been financed for the past quarter and the effect on its cash position. An entity wanting to disclose additional information is encouraged to do so, in a note or notes attached to this report.
The "Nature of interest" (items 6.1 and 6.2) includes options in respect of interests in mining tenements acquired, exercised or lapsed during the reporting period. If the entity is involved in a joint venture agreement and there are conditions precedent which will change its percentage interest in a mining tenement, it should disclose the change of percentage interest and conditions precedent in the list required for items 6.1 and 6.2.
Issued and quoted securities The issue price and amount paid up is not required in items 7.1 and 7.3 for fully paid securities.
The definitions in, and provisions of, AASB 1022: Accounting for Extractive Industries and AASB 1026: Statement of Cash Flows apply to this report.
Accounting Standards ASX will accept, for example, the use of International Accounting Standards for foreign entities. If the standards used do not address a topic, the Australian standard on that topic (if any) must be complied with.
