Yes a 72% cos with the top zone which to me is as near a certainty.
The risk is the lower oil zone at 24% cos but if that comes in its a bonus anyway. imo
Drilling operations will first consist of one well drilling into the Kirkham Abbey Formation gas discovery, de-risking 189 BCFe (Billion Cubic Feet equivalent) Contingent Resources, before then targeting the deeper Cadeby Formation oil exploration target which has gross Prospective Resources of 79.1Mmboe (million barrels of oil equivalent).
Pre-drill estimates ascribe 72* per cent. chance of success and a gross NPV of $247** million for the Kirkham Abbey Formation discovery and a 24* per cent. chance of success and a gross NPV of $850** million for the Cadeby Formation prospect.
In a success case, West Newton offers a fast pathway to monetisation through its proximity to existing gas pipelines and infrastructure in the local area.
