Testing at Waggon Creek-1 is under way over the 2011 perforated intervals, with later testing of additional perforations. The program is expected to run about four weeks. No flow results yet.
17 Sept 2012drilling progress report● Neutral
Production testing has started at Waggon Creek-1, resuming the program suspended by the 2011 wet season. No new results; Advent says further updates will follow as testing progresses.
12 Sept 2012drilling scheduled● Neutral
Equipment is being mobilised to resume production testing at Waggon Creek-1 (EP386), planned within a week and lasting about five weeks. This follows the 2011 test, cut short by the wet season, which flowed ~1.07 MMscf/d. Also cites a USGS onshore Bonaparte mean of 460 Bcf undiscovered gas.
4 Sept 2012resource reserve update▲ GoodMajor
Advent lifted its EP386 conventional prospective recoverable gas estimate to a 556 Bcf mean (best estimate 356 Bcf; low 53, high 1,326), with 15 MMbbl mean condensate. These are unrisked prospective figures, not reserves; Advent says it is assessing near-term commercialisation.
30 Aug 2012annual report▼ Bad
Year to 30 June 2012: net loss $9.18M (up 126%) on revenue $376K; net assets fell $9.41M to $36.72M. The company attributes the fall to the loss on shares sold in BPH's selective buyback. NTA 3.31 cps. Repeats known Advent results.
23 Aug 2012investor presentation● Neutral
Advent restates the case for EP386 and RL1: 19-141 Tcf unrisked shale gas in place, a Weaber 3C contingent resource of 45 Bcf, and possible local sales of up to 12 TJ/day via a mini LNG facility. It adds a risked recoverable estimate of 9.6 Tcf for the Bonaparte permits, which is Advent's own calculation.
20 Aug 2012material agreement▲ Good
Advent signed a land access and data sharing agreement with Beach Energy for an airborne gravity and magnetic survey planned later in 2012. It covers all of RL1 and part of EP386. Advent gets the data; no cost or payment is stated.

PEP11 was renewed for five years, granted 13 August 2012, resolving the pending renewal. Advent's Asset Energy interest, raised from 25% to 85% on completing New Seaclem-1, is now formally registered; Bounty holds 15%. Year 4 requires one exploration well.
9 July 2012regulatory community update● Neutral
Update on Fugro's roughly $2.2M claim over PEP11 survey fees: Asset is defending, has counterclaimed for the New Seaclem-1 drilling cost, and joined RPS Energy as a third party. A WA court hearing is expected in early 2013.

Waggon Creek-1 flowed gas at about 1.07 MMscf/d over a 6-hour test with no water, perforated at about 384-395 m. Vienta-1 showed strong pressure recovery. Both wells are suspended until the 2012 dry season, with extended tests planned then.

Vienta-1 flowed gas at about 1.97 MMscf/d, falling to about 0.53 MMscf/d within an hour, from zones at 1365-1421 m. Advent says early indications suggest a tight or damaged reservoir. It is shut in for a pressure build-up survey, and Waggon Creek-1 is next.

Advent is mobilising equipment to re-enter and production-test Waggon Creek-1 and Vienta-1 in EP386, with WA approvals received. Both gas discoveries from 1995 and 1998 were never fully tested. This delivers the production test planned in the EP386 renewal.
