Item 8.01                      Other Events.

In September of 2009, Deep Well Oil & Gas, Inc. through its 100% owned subsidiaries, Northern Alberta Oil Ltd. and Deep Well Oil & Gas (Alberta) Ltd. (collectively “Deep Well” or the “Company”) applied to the Alberta Energy Regulator (“AER”) for a commercial bitumen recovery scheme for potential thermal development using cyclical steam stimulation (“CSS”) on one of Deep Well’s vertical wells. In October of 2010, this initial application was approved by the AER. In February 2012, Deep Well filed an application with the AER to modify its previously approved CSS application to use horizontal well CSS instead of vertical well CSS and on August 19, 2013, Deep Well received approval from the AER on the modified application submitted by Deep Well for a thermal recovery development project using Horizontal CSS (“HCSS”).
