The dataset available, therefore, gives significant uncertainty in the assessment of in place volumes, the
main issues are:
> The Alfold-1 well reportedly penetrates the reservoir at a shallower depth than the discovery well but
is calculated to have no gas pay only some likely residual oil shows
> As mapped Alfold-1 is on structure and above the contact
> The precise location of Alfold-1 and its penetration of the Portland is unknown
> The structure does not close at the depth of the contact to the north east
To account for these uncertainties Xodus considered a number of possible scenarios. In all scenarios there
was gas bearing reservoir on PEDL234 however, more data is required to properly estimate the in place
volumes. Recoverable volumes were not estimated at this time due to the inherent uncertainties. Xodus
believes that a further modern appraisal well and extended test is required to narrow the current
uncertainties and enable a better estimation of potential recoverable resources to be undertaken.
Previous CPRs for IGas, the operator of PEDL235, have calculated estimates of Contingent Resource of
between 5 and 10 bcf net to IGas. There is no comment on the discovery extending into PEDL234 and
maps are cut off at the licence boundary.
UKOG has informed Xodus that they have plans to drill a well to appraise and test the Portland gas reservoir
and underlying Kimmeridge Limestones in the Godley Bridge structure from a location in the PEDL234
licence. A lease on the site has been finalised, planning permission work is under way and the well is
planned for 2019 subject to the necessary grant of regulatory permissions and availability of funds.
