VIC/P57, Gippsland Basin, Offshore Victoria The Company has a valuable proven oil discovery in the West Seahorse oil field and a portfolio of highly prospective exploration leads and prospects. The 3D Oil team has made significant progress in bringing West Seahorse to development and the Company is actively seeking alliances to maximise the value inherent in its assets. West Seahorse - Reserves Upgrade An extensive reassessment of the West Seahorse Field was completed including detailed reservoir analysis; detailed mapping of all hydrocarbon bearing horizons; high density depth conversion; reserve assessment. This data was used to develop a field production model to simulate oil production over the life of the field. The model was calibrated against the neighbouring Seahorse Field, which has been producing for similar reservoir units and has approximately 20 years of production history and therefore an excellent analogue. A feature of the model is the very high production rates predicted, with the development well modelled to produce at over 8,000 barrels of oil per day. This is typical of the Gippsland Basin where the combination of strong natural water drive and excellent reservoir properties result in very high flow rates. Clearly, high production rates during the start-up phase will provide a strong revenue stream with early project pay-back, enhancing the commerciality of the field. Following this extensive review, there has been a revision to the reserves and contingent resources position. A comparison to previously disclosed reserves and contingent resources is set out below. |
