15 Feb 2021drilling progress report● Neutral
West Erregulla 4 finished its 17.5-inch section at 2,635m and is running 13-3/8 inch casing. Hydrocarbon shows in the Cattamarra Coal Measures are similar to WE2 and WE3.
8 Feb 2021drilling progress report● Neutral
West Erregulla 4 reached surface hole depth of 1,003m, with 20-inch casing cemented. Drilling of the 17.5-inch section to about 2,550m is next. Normal logistics resumed as WA's COVID lockdown eased.
1 Feb 2021drilling progress report● Neutral
West Erregulla 4 is at 707m in the 26-inch surface hole after several days lost to a mud system part failure. Personnel were moved to site to keep operating through WA's five-day COVID lockdown.
25 Jan 2021drilling spud● NeutralMajor
West Erregulla 4 spudded over the weekend after the rig moved from West Erregulla 3, which was suspended with cement plugs after hitting an over-pressured gas column. Plans to take WE3 to final depth are still being developed.
22 Jan 2021regulatory community update▲ GoodMajor
WA granted exploration permits EP503 and EP504 (converted from EPA82 and EPA98), opening South Erregulla work. A ~140km Maior 2D seismic survey is awarded to Velseis for 1H21. This follows the earlier-flagged permit applications. WE3 results are said to support 'filled to spill' structures.

Strike launched Project Haber, a proposed 1.4 mtpa urea plant near Geraldton costing about A$2.3bn, using up to 628 PJ of Greater Erregulla gas over 20 years. It has an option to lease 60 hectares; offtake tender in Q2/21, Strike expects to keep a ~30% carried interest.

Strike received $8m in deferred R&D refunds after the ATO processed amended FY16, FY18 and FY19 returns, following the August settlement with Innovation & Science Australia. An FY20 claim is being prepared, with a further refund expected.
15 Dec 2020drilling progress report● Neutral
West Erregulla 3 is at 4,024m after casing the 9-5/8 inch string, with consistent gas shows in the Dongara and upper Wagina sandstones. Jurassic and Triassic sands had only residual hydrocarbons. The Kingia and High Cliff primary targets are next.
4 Dec 2020drilling progress report▲ Good
West Erregulla 3 finished its second intermediate section at about 3,534-3,556m, short of the planned 3,750m because a fault was hit higher than predicted. Hydrocarbon shows throughout are consistent with West Erregulla 2. Wireline logging comes next, then 9-5/8 inch casing.
25 Nov 2020other▲ Good
Strike says APA's planned 580km pipeline linking the Perth Basin to the Goldfields makes its gas the closest supply to that region. Strike claims its geographic market reach grows from 70% to over 80% of existing WA domestic gas demand. No new contracts announced.
23 Nov 2020drilling progress report▲ Good
The new slip and seal assembly is installed and pressure tests passed. West Erregulla 3 is running in hole to drill the second intermediate section to 3,750-4,150m. This resolves the wellhead delay reported a week earlier.
16 Nov 2020drilling progress report▼ Bad
At West Erregulla 3, pressure testing of the 13-3/8 inch casing wellhead seals failed because the slip and seal assembly failed. A replacement is due in about a week, and the rig stands by. Another delay after the earlier bit and motor failures.
13 Nov 2020debt financing▲ Good
Strike signed definitive documents for the up to $28m Macquarie facility announced 9 October, covering West Erregulla appraisal drilling and long-lead items. Financial close of the $13m first tranche is expected in November. Macquarie's 35m options at 29c vest on that close.
12 Nov 2020drilling progress report▲ Good
West Erregulla 3 finished its first intermediate section at 2,462m with casing cemented, after the side-tracks. Hydrocarbon shows in the upper Cattamarra Coal Measures are similar to West Erregulla 2. Strike believes it found the root causes of the earlier failures.
27 Oct 2020director officer appointment● NeutralMajor
Mary Hackett, ex-GE Oil & Gas Australasia CEO and Woodside executive, joins as a non-executive director. Jody Rowe retires at the 2020 AGM. Hackett is to get 5m options at $0.35, subject to shareholder approval.
26 Oct 2020drilling progress report▼ Bad
A second mud motor failure at 1,629m on West Erregulla 3 forced another cement plug and side-track. Strike has added experienced Perth Basin drilling engineers and is reviewing the cause. Repeats the earlier problem and further delays the well.
14 Oct 2020drilling progress report▼ Bad
West Erregulla 3 lost its drill bit and motor in the hole while drilling the 17.5-inch section. Fishing failed, so Strike is cementing and side-tracking. Strike calls the delays unfortunate but is confident of resuming normal drilling.
14 Oct 2020drilling progress report● Neutral
Warrego re-released Strike's 14 October West Erregulla 3 update (lost bottom hole assembly, side-track under way). Counterparty re-release; no new information.
12 Oct 2020drilling scheduled▲ GoodMajor
Strike secured three Ensign Rig 970 slot options for CY21 to drill Walyering and South Erregulla, targeting 1,686 PJ of prospective resource (Strike share). Trieste 3D data lifted South Erregulla's chance of success from 50% to 57%.
9 Oct 2020debt financing● NeutralMajor
Strike secured a $28m two-year secured Macquarie facility for West Erregulla appraisal and long-lead items: $13m committed, $15m tied to drilling milestones. Macquarie gets 35m options at 29 cents. Strike was previously debt free.

Warrego and Strike signed a binding Heads of Agreement on joint West Erregulla development: Phase 1 plant raised to 80 TJ/d, FID now targeted by end Q1 CY2021, first gas mid-2022, WE-5 approved. This eases the Warrego dispute, though FID slips from end-2020.
