Potential Acquisition Thread: Central Petroleum 1/213 Oct 2024 18:31
Having done a deep dive into prospective #Helium Acquisition/JV targets for the newly cashed-up #MSMN, one close-to-home opportunity stands out as a favourite: 1/6
Central Petroleum (#CTP listed on ASX)
- CTP are a Oil & Gas producer, with Helium & #Hydrogen exploration assets in the Amadeus Basin, Australia🇦🇺 (EP115 surrounds the #MSMN & GEX EP155 Mt Winter License)
- Licenses with Helium/Nitrogen potential: EP82, EP105, EP112, EP125 & EP155
- Farmout discussions underway for EP112 & EP125
- A Seismic Survey has generated multiple drill targets at EP115
- Helium from 4% to 9% detected
- Drilling planned for Q4 2024 & Q1 2025
- CTP also has several other license applications pending in the Amadeus Basin including: EP133, EP137, EP147, EP149 & EP152
Here we can see from the map below #CTP has significant coverage of the Amadeus Basin, both with granted licenses (marked with red boxes) & open license applications (Green boxes)
EP115 surrounds the MSMN permit JV'd with GEX at EP155, so it would make sense for MSMN to be very interested in the multiple drill targets identified by the recent seismic studies, either as a JV or a data sharing agreement
EP115, EP112, EP125 & EP137 are all in close proximity to MSMN's other Helium License EP145 with which they are JV'd with Greenvale #GRV. Again, a JV or data sharing arrangement could be very beneficial to both parties
It's worth noting that CTP have recently paid off a large chunk of debt & need cash for further exploration, hence stating that Farmout discussions are underway for EP112 & EP125
Could this be with MSMN?
CTP Amadeus Basin #Helium & #Hydrogen Resource Estimates:
EP125:
- Jacko Bore flow test indicated world-class Helium potential (9% Helium & 12% Hydrogen)
- 39bcf Helium, 31bcf Hydrogen & 65bcf Natural Gas
- Jacko Bore 1 drilled vertically to 2,295 mTVD
with flow of 530 mscf/d from fractured basement
- Farmout discussions underway, targeting spud late 2024/2025
