Carnarvon Petroleum Limited (ASX:CVN) Phoenix Project - Volumetric Strategy

$
0
0
Carnarvon Petroleum Limited ("Carnarvon") (ASX:CVN) (OTCMKTS:CVONF) provides the following update on its volume estimates within the Phoenix project ahead of, and for context in regard to, the drilling of the Phoenix South-3 well that has already commenced and the Dorado-1 well that is expected to commence next month.

Highlights

- Phoenix project drilling has delineated 332 Bcf of gas and 27 mmbbls to date (gross, 2C basis)

- Phoenix South-3 and Dorado-1 wells in 2018 seeking to add 1.0 Tcf of gas and 88 mmbbls (gross, mean)

- Dorado-1 well has additional upside in secondary targets

- Multiple follow-up opportunities also exist for consideration in potential future drilling programs

To date the Phoenix project has made four discoveries from the four wells that have been drilled (being Phoenix South-1, Roc-1, Roc-2 and Phoenix South-2) by the current Joint Venture partners. The 2018 drilling program is aiming to build on the already discovered oil and gas resources and to assist in future decisions around optimising a commercial development.

The table in link below covers the gas and condensate and oil volumes that are now able to be classified as contingent resources, namely from the discovery wells to date.

The objective of the 2018 drilling program is to add to the above volumes and in doing so underpin progression to a commercial development.

The 2018 drilling program comprises the Phoenix South-3 well and Dorado-1 well. The volumes from either or both will materially improve the above volumes as presented in the following table (see link below).

The Dorado structure also has the potential to contain a number of additional targets beneath the Caley interval which could contain significant additional volumes of gas and condensate, albeit having a lower predicted chance of geological success. These volumes have been estimated by Carnarvon as per the table in link below.

One aspect that is particularly exciting about the Phoenix project is the potential to unlock further gas and condensate and oil through additional drilling. Targets already identified within comfortable tie back distance to a development around the Roc area include the Apus and Mensa prospects which are outlined in the table below (see link below).

In addition to the above, a large number of prospects and leads are continually being matured through ongoing technical work.

The Phoenix project has a number of key attractions, including its dual income stream potential from oil and gas, its proximity to infrastructure and its positioning in shallow water of approximately 100 metres. The latter substantially reducing the cost and complexity of a development, allowing for the aggregation of discoveries in the near vicinity.
 
Carnarvon Petroleum              20% 
Quadrant Energy (Operator)       80%

The quarter yielded another strong result for OtherLevels, reflecting the continued momentum the company is seeing with increased sales growth and continued effective operational cost controls.

Brendan O'Kane, the OtherLevels Managing Director, commented "Historically Q2 and Q3 of the fiscal year have been strong quarters for OtherLevels, and it is pleasing to see the company build on the FY18 Q2 success with a strong Q3. Conversely, FY18 Q4 and Q1 FY19 are cyclically quieter quarters as clients in the wagering sector are impacted by the annual northern hemisphere summer vacation period and this year, with their significant involvement with the Football World Cup. This has previously affected the timing of sales activities through this period although we remain confident of our ability to continue to grow the business over the long term.

Founder and Clinical Director, Dr Chris Hart commented, "While we are still in the early stages of rolling out under the Modern agreement, the go to market activities undertaken by Modern in the Dental channel are now starting to have an impact on sales.

Along with our recently increased sales capability in the US, early feedback and progress in the Sleep channel indicates that we will be well positioned to start better driving sales in the second half of calendar 2018. A European launch is planned by the second half of calendar 2018."

EON NRG Ltd (ASX:E2E) Quarterly Activities Report

$
0
0
EON NRG Ltd (ASX:E2E) (OTCMKTS:ICRMF) provides the Company's Quarterly Activities Report for the period ended 31 March, 2018.

1 HIGHLIGHTS

- Prospective Cobalt Claims acquired in Nevada, USA

- Successful gas well recompletion at the Silvertip Oil and Gas Field

- Permitting commenced for 2 new wells at the Borie Oilfield

- WTI oil price averaged US$62.89/barrel, up from $55.38/barrel in Q4-17 - current spot price of $68/barrel

- Q1 2018 revenue receipts of $1.45m

- Net positive company cash flow reported for the quarter

2 BATTERY MINERALS DIVISION

During the quarter, Eon announced the acquisition of its cobalt prospect with first 18 mineral claims and recently in April a second group of 24 claims combined covering an area of 840 acres in the Stillwater Range (Table Mountain District), Nevada.

The claims include the historic Gilberts silver, gold and lead mine and there are a number of significant adits and tunnels from previous mineral exploration that date back to the late 1800's. The claims are less than 3 miles (5 km) from the historic Lovelock cobalt mine.

The Company is targeting broadly disseminated mineralisation that has the potential to host significant ore body with cobalt content which would not have been economic to mine over a century ago, when last mined. Eon is applying modern exploration methods to these historic prospects for the discovery of a significant battery mineral deposit such as cobalt.

Eon established the battery minerals division to identify and acquire opportunities in the emerging energy storage sector. The Company has targeted prospective cobalt areas as this is recognised as a mineral that is integral to the emerging battery market and is limited in supply globally relative to its expected demand.

3 BORIE OILFIELD, DJ BASIN, WYOMING

Eon completed the acquisition of the Borie Oilfield and took over as operator in December 2017.

Production -

The Borie field has produced over 10,000 barrels of oil in the first six months of ownership by the Company. Three workovers were performed on wells during the first quarter of 2018 and production is ahead of expectation at ~70 bopd.

New wells -

Eon is in the process of permitting two new drills within the Borie Oilfield.

One of these wells will be a vertical Muddy/J Sand development well drilled to a TD of 8,600'.

The second well will be a 4,000-foot horizontal lateral exploration well targeting the Niobrara Chalk formation. A drill stem test (DST) was previously performed in the Niobrara Formation during the drilling of an offsetting vertical Muddy J well that resulted in 1,500 feet of gas, 200 feet of oil gas cut mud, and 70 feet of mud and gas cut oil.

Waterflood Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) -

Work is under way for the implementation of an EOR waterflood program in the North Borie portion of the field. The workover on the water injection well and surface pumping equipment should be ready for injection to commence in the month of May.

SILVERTIP FIELD, BIGHORN BASIN, WYOMING

In February, Eon carried out a recompletion of an untested sand lobe within the Meeteetse Formation of the 35-28F well in the Silvertip Field. The 60-day initial production rate for the well was 487 MCF/D and gas production continued to increase for the remainder of the quarter from this well. The well is currently flowing 700 mcd while holding 390 psi of backpressure on the wellbore which demonstrates the reservoir has more lateral extension than expected.

The capital cost of the well recompletion was US$22,000 which was repaid within the first 30 days of production. The recompletion has generated net revenue (after royalties and production tax) of more than US$60,000 in the first 60 days of operation. Additional recompletion opportunities with similar formation characteristics to the 35-28F well are under review and will be permitted in the upcoming months.

Several workovers have also resulted in a 16% increase in oil production.

4 CORPORATE

The Company had a net operating cash flow surplus for the Quarter of US$149,000 and an overall surplus of $83,000 after costs associated with the acquisition of Cobalt claims and bank debt principal repayments.

Total cash at the end of Q1-18 was US$1.343 million of which US$673,000 is held as security for environmental bonds.

The average oil price has increased by 14% from the last quarter of 2017 with the West Texas Intermediate (WTI) spot oil at US$68.26 at the close of trade in the the week ending April 20th, 2018.

5 PRODUCTION

Gross production across all fields in Q1-18 was 50,654 BOE, an average of 563 BOEPD. Net sales volume for the quarter was 33,787 BOE.

Gross production and net sales volumes for the last two quarters (Q1-18 and Q4-2017) and corresponding prior year quarter (Q1-2017) are shown in Table 1 (see link below).
