Investment in Australian Interest
4 June, 2007
Petrofac, the international oil & gas facilities service provider, announces that its Resources division has farmed into 10% of Permit NT/P68, 300 km NNW of Darwin in Australian waters. MEO Australia Limited, which is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (symbol: MEO), owns the remaining 90% of the permit. The investment is conditional upon, inter alia, the approval of the assignment by the relevant governmental authorities.
Permit NT/P68 extends over an area of 12,070 km² and within it the Heron-1 well was drilled in 1972 and had several interpreted hydrocarbon bearing zones, the most significant being in the Darwin Formation. The terms of the farm-in require funding a portion of two appraisal wells to be drilled in 2007. Petrofac will become operator for any follow-on delineation, development and production periods.
Subject to the results of the appraisal programme, it is anticipated that the accumulations in the block may be of sufficient size to be commercialised either by pipeline to the mainl& or to the Tassie Shoal LNG project.
Amjad Bseisu, chief executive of Petrofac Resources, said “This farm-in commitment provides Petrofac with a low risk opportunity to gain an operator position in a potentially significant offshore development which may incorporate an LNG facility. We look forward to bringing our engineering and operating capabilities to this exciting development.”
