21 Apr 2015drilling result▲ GoodMajor
Cased hole logs on Hoffer B1 show about 90 ft of gross sandstone in the primary target and about 30 ft more elsewhere, giving roughly 200 ft of combined zones of interest. Net pay cannot be measured through casing; perforating and testing plans are being prepared.
21 Apr 2015investor presentation● Neutral
Symposium presentation repeats known facts: Hoffer B1 called a confirmed gas discovery, about 200 ft of zones of interest, testing to start shortly. Cash $19.6m at 31 December 2014, no debt, market cap $20.5m at 13.5c, stated as fully funded.
7 Apr 2015drilling progress report● Neutral
Cased hole logging at Hoffer B 1 has started, delayed just under two weeks by wet weather. Logging should finish later this week, with completion and testing to follow once the data are analysed.
18 Mar 2015drilling progress report● Neutral
Production casing has been run and cemented in Hoffer B 1 to 14,150 ft over all potentially productive intervals. The rig will be released, with cased hole logging in 7-10 days, then a completion and testing crew once data are analysed.
13 Mar 2015half year report▼ Bad
Half-year to 31 December 2014: loss $5.674m versus $2.457m a year earlier. Exploration spend rose to $4.974m from $1.211m on the start of US drilling. Otherwise repeats operations already reported; Chile CEOP application now targeted for first half of 2015.
12 Mar 2015drilling result● NeutralMajor
Hoffer B 1 reached 14,150 ft (350 ft short of target) with thirteen significant shows; production casing is being run to complete it for testing. Dworsky Haas 1 reached 11,600 ft but its Midcox sands were tight, so the deep section is plugged and shallower zones will be tested. Kansas 3D data quality is excellent.
23 Feb 2015drilling result▲ GoodMajor
Logs on Hoffer B1 show 43 ft of net gas pay in the Middle Midcox, a secondary target, and a possible 40 ft in the Yegua. The company says the 43 ft alone could make the well commercial at current prices, subject to flow testing. Primary target still to be drilled.
16 Feb 2015drilling progress report● Neutral
Hoffer B 1 is at 13,000 ft after strong gas shows and higher-than-expected pressures; cost may run 10-20% over budget (US$112k-225k to Galilee). Dworsky Haas 1 spud on 14 February, about US$786,000 to casing point to Galilee, 21 days to drill.
12 Feb 2015regulatory community update● Neutral
Administrative Listing Rule 5.4.3 notice listing interests held at 31 December 2014, including Hoffer B1 35% (28% after payout), Dworsky 32.46%, Spikes East 38.94%, Hoffer Extension 37.5%. Discloses Spikes East interest at 38.94% (31.15% after payout); otherwise no new substance.
30 Jan 2015quarterly activities report● Neutral
December quarter: Chile study completed and supports a likely significant gas resource, with a CEOP application with ENAP being prepared. Illinois paused after four wells, Hoffer B 1 drilling, Kansas seismic recorded. Lavaca well returns stated as above 90% IRR. Repeats known facts; truncated text gives no cash figure.
28 Jan 2015drilling progress report▲ Good
Hoffer B 1 reached 11,209 ft with very strong gas shows in two shallower sandstones that may offer an extra completion zone. Dworsky Haas 1 is now due to spud in early February (slipped from mid-January). Kansas 3D seismic recording is finished, with initial results due late February or early March.
7 Jan 2015drilling spud▲ GoodMajor
Hoffer B, the Lavaca County, Texas well in which Galilee holds 35%, was spud on 6 January 2015, targeting 14,250 ft in the Lower Wilcox. Expected to take 40-60 days. Total exposure including entry cost is put at under US$1.5m; the partner's prospect estimate is 70 Bcf gas plus 1.8m bbl oil, not certified.
15 Dec 2014investor presentation● Neutral
Responding to the oil price fall, Galilee says its Texas and Kansas economics remain robust (Lavaca well IRR 125% to 100% at US$65 oil), rig rates are down 20%, and Lavaca drilling slips to late December and mid-January. It is assessing corporate opportunities.
20 Nov 2014investor presentation● Neutral
AGM presentation repeats known facts: cash $24.7m, no debt, market cap $20.5m at 13.5c, and the Illinois, Texas, Kansas and Chile projects. Says current activities are fully funded and Hoffer B should spud mid-to-late December.
19 Nov 2014regulatory community update▲ Good
The Kansas 3D seismic survey (about 40 sq miles, Meade County) has begun after permits were secured, with acquisition expected by year end and early 2015 results. This follows the July Kansas MOU and the JV agreement reported in the quarterly.
12 Nov 2014drilling result▼ BadMajor
Wenzel 1, the fourth Illinois well, reached 2,757 ft and a test found no commercial hydrocarbons, so all four wells were dry. Galilee and partners suspend field activity until early Q2 2015 to review results, and the company says they support further exploration.
31 Oct 2014quarterly activities report● Neutral
September quarter: cash $24.7m (about 16.2c per share). Reviews the three Illinois dry holes, the Lavaca expansion, a finalised Kansas JV agreement with seismic due to start in November, and the Chile study nearly complete with meetings set for December.
30 Oct 2014drilling result▼ BadMajor
Cunningham 1, the third Illinois well, reached 2,556 ft. Oil shows were weak or the zones tight, and no commercial hydrocarbons were recovered; the well is being plugged. Shale shows again extend the resource-play study area. Wenzel 1, the final well, is next.
28 Oct 2014asset acquisition disposition▲ GoodMajor
Galilee signs binding agreements to widen its Lavaca County, Texas interests: 37.5% in a new Lower Wilcox exploration area, 32% (24% after payout) in the Dworsky Haas 1 well, and a share of Williams 2. Hoffer B is expected to spud mid-to-late December 2014; Dworsky cost to casing point is about US$900,000.
24 Oct 2014drilling result▼ BadMajor
Kramer 1, the second Illinois well, reached 2,625 ft. Strong oil and gas shows in the Racine zone were tested without commercial hydrocarbons, and the well is being plugged. Shale shows widen the area of interest for a resource-play study. Rig moves to Cunningham 1.

Hanner 1 reached 2,268 ft; the main Racine reef reservoir was poorly developed and a test of the Trenton zone found no commercial hydrocarbons. The well is being plugged. About 300 ft of oil shows are said to show a working petroleum system; the first Illinois well is a dry hole.
8 Oct 2014drilling scheduled▲ GoodMajor
The first Illinois well, Hanner 1 (Logan County, target depth 2,990 ft), is due to spud this week, with Kramer 1 next. Dry hole cost is expected under US$200,000. The MD calls it Galilee's first drilling in a number of years.
