Amadeus Basin Project Update

 

Mosman Oil and Gas Limited (AIM: MSMN) the New Zealand and Australia focussed oil exploration and development company, announces an update on its Amadeus Basin project in the Northern Territory of Australia.

 

Mosman owns and operates two 100% owned granted permits (EP 145 & 156) and one application (EPA 155) which total 5,458 sq. km. SRK Consulting (Australia) has finalised a report ("SRK Report") into the prospective resources contained in permit EP 145 which is on trend with the existing producing Mereenie oil and gas field. The report highlights the potential for both conventional oil and gas resources in proven reservoirs within the West Walker Anticline and unconventional gas resources in the Horn Valley Siltstone.

 

SRK has calculated unrisked prospective resources within both plays which are documented in table 1 below:

In EP 145, Mosman conducted geological field reconnaissance during 2015. The approval of a 12 month Suspension and Extension period announced on 18 December 2015 will enable Mosman to review exploration priorities and plan the next phase of activity in the permit.

 

In EP 156, geological and geophysical surveys were conducted during 2015. A 12 month Suspension and Extension period was granted on this permit in November 2015 to allow Mosman to acquire Central Land Council ("CLC") permission in order to progress with further exploration of the permit. A high resolution aerogravity and magnetic survey is planned for 2016/17 to assist with structural interpretation and prospect mapping.

 

The application for EPA 155 was acknowledged by the relevant Northern Territory government agency recently and will now follow the normal negotiation process with the CLC prior to grant of an exploration licence.

 

It is encouraging to note that the Northern Territory Government is progressing on the development of a gas pipeline and has selected Jemena Northern Gas Pipeline Pty Ltd to construct and operate the North East Gas Interconnector (NEGI) Pipeline to connect NT gas to the eastern gas markets (see https://onshoregas.nt.gov.au/new-gas-pipeline; this website includes information on the Amadeus Basin and the relevant map includes the location of three wells in Mosman permits, namely Mount Winter-1, West Walker-1 and Tent Hill-1). This infrastructure development will provide access from NT to Eastern Australian gas markets including three LNG export terminals, and has already spurred petroleum industry activity including the recent development of Dingo Gas Field by Central Petroleum CTP:ASX and large farm-in deals by a US company ref Armour Energy ref AJQ:ASX and EEG:ASX.

 

John W Barr, Executive Chairman of Mosman commented: "We are pleased with the prospective resource quantification from the SRK Report that highlights the significant gas potential in our Amadeus permits, which are located adjacent to existing producing oil and gas fields. Mosman believes the Amadeus Basin could one day be a potentially important strategic source of gas production for the East Coast of Australia and this report will greatly assist us in prioritising future exploration activity. Our exploration activities in the Amadeus Basin are being undertaken in a methodical and cost-effective manner and this same approach is applied across all our exploration licences."
