Each one in plain English, with the numbers worked through for a shareholder.
22 Dec 2023production update▼ Bad
Annual integrity testing shut in Cliff Head wells, so production is reduced. CH-6 and CH-13 are back at about 250 bopd; CH-12 is expected to add about 200 bopd by end January, and CH-7 needs a valve fix (about 150 bopd). The A$15M sale to Pilot is described as well advanced.
NZO confirms regulatory approvals are received and its farm-in to 25% of L7 and EP 437 is complete. This clears the approvals outstanding since the March agreement; Triangle remains 50% operator with Talon 25%. Drilling is still planned for 2024.
AGM presentation repeats the strategy: drill three Perth Basin wells in 1H 2024 funded by Talon and NZOG, and divest Cliff Head to Pilot for about A$15M. Cash A$7M at September 2023. No new results.
Registry report listing top holders of the 159.6M unlisted A$0.025 options, expiring 30 June 2025. The top 20 hold 74.88%. Administrative only; no business news.

The L7/EP 437 joint venture (Triangle 50%, Talon 25%, NZO 25%) has ordered casing and wellheads for two wells, with Booth (gas, mid-case 279 Bcf) first and Becos (oil, 5 MMbbl) second. Farm-in transfers are approved. No rig date is set yet.

Good Oil Conference presentation repeats known facts: three Perth Basin wells targeted 1H 2024 paid for by Talon and NZOG, and the Cliff Head sale to Pilot (~A$15M). It states the sale removes an abandonment liability of about A$20M (company's figure). No new results.
27 July 2023asset acquisition disposition● NeutralMajor
Triangle agrees to sell its 78.75% of Cliff Head to Pilot, replacing the October 2022 60/40 deal. It receives A$3M on the storage declaration, A$4.5M on the injection licence, and up to A$7.5M in royalties, about A$15M in total. Completion is expected early 2024, with Triangle refocusing on Perth Basin exploration.
27 July 2023asset acquisition disposition● Neutral
Joint Pilot/Triangle release repeating the 27 July revised deal: Pilot buys Triangle's 78.75% of Cliff Head via subsidiaries including operator TEO, for about A$15M (A$3M, A$4.5M, up to A$7.5M royalties). Completion expected early 2024. Duplicate of Triangle's own release.
Key Petroleum says it received the final 31,378,015 Triangle shares for its L7 and EP 437 interests and sold them on market on 27 March for about A$562K net. This closes out the Key purchase begun in January 2021, and these shares were sold into the market.
Talon reports the same preliminary prospective resources for L7's three gas prospects, each over 50 Bcf, all near the Dampier-Bunbury pipeline. The joint venture plans to drill the two best in 2024, possibly accelerated to early 2024. Largely duplicates Triangle's release.
NZO says Triangle gave the joint venture a technical update on early Bookara 3D seismic findings, which it describes as in line with expectations. Refers readers to Triangle's 27 March release; adds no new numbers.
First interpretation of the Bookara 3D seismic high-grades four drilling prospects for 2024: three gas in L7 (Booth, Huntswell Deep, Mountain Bridge South, combined best estimate 393 Bcf gross) and one oil in EP 437 (Becos, 5 MMbbl best). Unrisked estimates, considered moderate risk.
Triangle signs the binding NZO farmout agreement for 25% of L7 and EP 437, completing the January term sheet; only regulatory approvals (DMIRS, FIRB) remain. NZO pays A$1.9M for seismic, A$9.96M in total. With Talon, this recovers all Bookara seismic cost; drilling is now targeted for first half 2024.
New Zealand Oil & Gas confirms it has signed a binding farm-out agreement for 25% of L7 and EP 437, with due diligence complete. It will pay A$1.9M of seismic costs plus about A$9.96M in total, subject to regulatory approvals. Mirrors Triangle's release.
Half-year report to 31 December 2022 largely restates known events: the truck-to-tanker oil export route, the Talon and NZO farm-ins, and the 9.7 Mt CO2 storage upgrade. It describes TP/15 as in the final stages of relinquishment, and Triangle's State Gas stake at about 10.6%. Financial figures were truncated.
Talon confirms it signed the formal farm-in for 25% of L7 and EP 437, paying about A$1.9M for seismic (A$1M now, rest before 1 Sep 2023) plus about A$7.3M of well costs. New joint operating agreements are waived until May. Mirrors Triangle's release.
Triangle signs the binding farmout agreement with Talon for 25% of L7 and EP 437, with all conditions satisfied. Talon pays the first A$1M of its seismic share. This completes the term sheet of December 2022. Drilling is estimated for early 2024.
A$5.7M received for the second Thailand shipment, about A$4.5M to Triangle and A$1.2M to Pilot. The tanker has left Geraldton with 51,100 bbls, with payment expected in March. Confirms the export route is generating cash.
Triangle signs a second binding term sheet, farming 25% of L7 and EP 437 to New Zealand Oil & Gas, taking Triangle to 50% and operator. NZO pays A$9.96M in total. With Talon, this covers all seismic cost and nearly all of Triangle's drilling costs; first L7 well planned Q1 2024.
New Zealand Oil & Gas announces a binding term sheet for 25% of Triangle's L7 and EP 437, paying A$1.9M of seismic costs plus well shares. Subject to due diligence and approvals; with Talon, Triangle would hold 50%. Mirrors Triangle's release.
The AB Paloma delivered 52,900 bbls to a Thailand refinery, with payment due early February 2023. A fifth load of about 25,500 bbls is aboard at Geraldton, and the tanker awaits another load in 5-6 weeks. Export routine continues.
Triangle signs a binding term sheet farming 25% of L7 and EP 437 out to Talon, keeping operatorship and 75%. Talon pays A$1.9M of seismic cost plus well shares, A$9.26M in total. Drilling expected early 2024. Begins the search for a farm-in partner noted earlier.
Talon Energy announces a binding term sheet to take 25% of Triangle's L7 and EP 437, subject to its due diligence. It pays about A$1.9M towards Bookara seismic costs and funds shares of three 2024 wells. Mirrors Triangle's own release.
The Cliff Head JV lodged its NOPTA application for a greenhouse gas storage declaration and raised the 2C contingent CO2 storage resource about 50% to 9.7 million tonnes (100%). A declaration would trigger the Pilot 60%/Triangle 40% restructure. Capex guidance stays at about A$110M.
Pilot reports its Mid West Clean Energy Project progress. The Cliff Head JV expects to lodge the NOPTA greenhouse gas storage declaration application within weeks, with CCS front-end design in 2023. Mostly Pilot's own matters (8 Rivers A$500K investment, new hires).
Fourth Cliff Head load of 26,500 bbls put on the AB Paloma, which sails for Asia with 53,000 bbls. Continues the truck-to-tanker export route begun in July; Pilot and Triangle still finalising Cliff Head alignment.
