Come on trolls you will have to do better than that, Trolls getting really worried now despite posting 24/7 with their negative crap still the SP keeps rising and no wonder it wont be long now.
The Company plans to drill one or more wells in the SWP in the second half of 2019, namely in the Bonasse license area.
On-trend structures offshore have yielded major oil fields such as the Soldado Main, Soldado South West, and Soldado West within 12 km of the South West Peninsula. It is Columbus’s view that similar structures may lie onshore beneath the SWP, presenting significant exploration opportunity in the area. Any successful discovery/appraisal can be brought onto early production at a low cost due to the presence of existing Company operated oil production and sales capabilities and other locally available hydrocarbon infrastructure.
Company interpretations includes twelve mapped prospects over the broader SWP area, each having volumes of between 20-400 million barrels in place. Onshore drilling allows the cost per well to be significantly lower than equivalent depth wells offshore. It is anticipated that between 2-3 wells, targeting the shallower prospects, may be drilled on the licences initially at costs of between US$500,000 to US$1,000,000 per well based on favourable rig rates, including wells with multiple stacked reservoir targets, with the first well being drilled, subject to regulatory consent and satisfactory commercial arrangements, in the second half of 2019.
