Partial reimbursement for exploration costs10 Feb 2024 08:47
Just how far back are we going when it comes to partial or full reimbursement for exploration costs? this has been mentioned that we are to receive sums associated with this? I thought we might be lucky to get 1 million or so but wonder now just what the full costs have been for SYN, how far we are going back and as a percentage what have the new partner been willing to pay?
It dates back to 2006, possibly even further?
Between 2006 and 2011, the Company conducted an extensive work programme in the contract area, including 3D seismic, five wells and a study to evaluate the application of shale gas technology to the Eocene reservoirs. Netherland Sewell & Associates, Inc. (NSAI), conducted an independent assessment in 2011 which identified significant Contingent and Prospective Resources.
Cambay-73 was originally drilled in 2008 as a vertical well with a single stage fracture stimulation. During an extended production test in 2012 it had a peak production rate of 1MMscfd and 23.5 bbls of condensate.
In 2014, Synergia Energy completed the Cambay-77H horizontal well, achieving significant progress in delivering the following proof of concept objectives:
In April 2022, production from the C-73 and C77H wells was resumed after a hiatus of several years with production being co-mingled through the C-73 production facility. A gas sales contract was executed in April 2022 to market gas to the local low-pressure grid system.
Following the resumption of production in April 2022 and the increase of the Company's working interest in the Cambay PSC to 100% pursuant to the GSPC WI acquisition, a review of Synergia Energy's reserve and resource position was conducted by an independent reserves auditor (RISC). This has resulted in the return of 206 BCP of gas and 8 mmbbls of condensate to the 2P reserves category from Contingent Resources.
