BPH released a technical presentation supporting a revised Baleen drill target in PEP 11, with total depth of 2,150 m and a possible gas anomaly of about 24 km2. It describes risks and does not report new drilling or approvals. Bounty holds 15%.
BPH Energy, which holds an indirect stake in PEP 11 operator Advent, is raising $449,813 via placement at 1.5 cents plus up to $2.42M via rights issue. About $2M is for Baleen well planning. This is BPH's raising, not Bounty's.
Partner BPH Energy released a 1992 Ampolex study naming the Baleen South lead on PEP 11 as a major target with a possible gas/condensate source. It is historical background supporting the Baleen well plan, not new data. Bounty holds 15%.
NOPTA says the PEP 11 joint venture application, lodged in December 2019 to enable drilling of the Baleen prospect, has finished assessment and is in the final decision phase. No timing was given. Bounty holds 15%.
ASX asked Bounty to explain a price move from $0.012 to $0.017 and sharply higher volume from 15 to 18 June 2020, and whether it holds undisclosed information. The letter has questions only, not Bounty's answers.
Cooroo NW 6 (1,860 m) was plugged and abandoned, ending the five-well Cooroo NW program. For 2020 Bounty took part in 8 wells: six cased for production and two plugged. The program is said to have materially extended reserves. Bounty holds 2%.
Cooroo 7 (1,932 m) and Cooroo NW 5 (1,916 m) both found oil and net pay and were cased and suspended as future producers; NW 5 confirmed a material northwest extension of the field. Bounty's 2020 tally is six successful wells and one plugged. Bounty holds 2%.
Cooroo NW 3 reached 1,916 m with net pay in the Westbourne and Birkhead and was cased and suspended. Cooroo NW 4 found weak shows and was plugged and abandoned. Cooroo NW 7 is next. Bounty holds 2%.
Bounty joins a five-well appraisal program at Cooroo NW in Naccowlah, following the Jarrar wells. Cooroo NW 4 spudded 18 March 2020; Cooroo NW 3 is due around 22 March. Bounty holds 2%.
Half-year to 31 Dec 2019: revenue $1.97M (up from $1.45M), net loss $2.86M after a $2.904M non-cash impairment on relinquishing AC/P 32 after no farm-out. Bounty expects about $3.0M sales for FY2020 and declining production.
ASX lifted the suspension and reinstated Bounty shares to quotation after receiving a response to the price query. This resolves the suspension; the response itself is not in this text.
ASX asked Bounty to explain a share price rise from a low of $0.004 on 12 February to an intraday high of $0.011, with sharply higher volume. It asked if any undisclosed information exists. The letter contains questions only, not Bounty's answers.
Jarrar 8 reached 1,914 m with very good oil shows and logged net pay in a thick Birkhead sand, and was cased and suspended. This completes the Jarrar phase; further 2020 Naccowlah drilling awaits timing and rig availability. Bounty holds 2%.
Jarrar 7 reached 1,971 m with very good Birkhead oil shows and logged net pay, plus shows in the Mackunda Formation. It was cased and suspended as a potential producer. Bounty holds 2%.
Jarrar 7 spudded 24 January 2020 and is in progress. It is a deviated appraisal well planned to 1,977 m to test the Birkhead oil zone. Bounty holds 2%.

BPH reports the PEP 11 joint venture has applied to NOPTA to drill the Baleen target, extend the permit up to two years from March 2021 expiry and drop the 500 sq km 3D seismic requirement. Drilling is subject to approvals and financing. Bounty holds 15%.
Jarrar 6 spudded 16 January 2020, starting the 2020 Naccowlah appraisal program. It is a development well planned to 1,809 m to test the Birkhead oil zone. Bounty holds 2%.
