                           Receipt of Yetagun Payment

Premier announces that it has received the sum of US$19.3 million from the gas
buyer, PTT of Thailand, in settlement of the "Take or Pay" payment due for
2000 under the Yetagun Field Gas Sales Agreement (GSA).

These payments arise where physical gas deliveries in any calendar year are
less than the contract volume as defined by the GSA. PTT may take the
undelivered gas in future free of charge provided they have already taken the
contract volume for the relevant year.

                                                                    2 July
