Varies the November 2011 Tancoal JV to cover all unconventional gas, with NuEnergy at 70% and Tancoal's 30% carried up to 5 years. Tancoal gets a 5% royalty. NuEnergy commits at least US$1m over two years, with 2 core holes and a G&G study; a further US$1m follows if it proceeds.
Well 1 core tests show 115 scf/t gas content, 88% saturation and 92.7-98.3% methane, which the company says beats earlier estimates. It states 1.89 Tcf gross gas in place net to NuEnergy. Well 2 finished at 840m and is cased as a pilot well. NSAI report due July.
First Muara Enim well reached 733m, with 38.2m net coal including one 19m seam. Results are said to match earlier gas-in-place estimates; gas content is due next month. A second well is next, to 1,000m, ahead of an independent resource report and a possible pilot well.
Enters East African CBM through joint ventures over Tancoal and Tanzacoal's Tanzanian coal tenements. NuEnergy's subsidiary holds 70%, operates and funds development; partners get 30% of operating profits plus a 5% royalty. Drilling is intended in first half 2012, delivering the East Africa strategy.
First resource figure for Muara Enim: gas in place estimated at 4.1 to 4.6 Tcf by PT Trias Energy Perkasa, a preliminary estimate to be refined after coring. Drilling is confirmed to start late October once the rig arrives, with pads and land access done.
The company gains a call option to lift its L Parigi gas consortium stake from 20% to 75% by issuing 175 million shares at 0.5 cents, about 19% of capital, exercisable to 24 November 2006. It also agreed to sell the Heathcote gold plant to Resource Base for $495,000, subject to approvals.
