BP plans to stop fuel production at Kwinana and become an import terminal, and Triangle sells Cliff Head crude there. BP will keep operating for many months and no termination notice has come, but Triangle withdrew its 29 October reserves and resources figures until the economics are confirmed.
ASX paused trading in Triangle shares pending a further announcement. This is a procedural notice with no substance of its own; the later BP Kwinana response lifts the halt.
A reserves review, validated by RISC Advisory, put Cliff Head 2P reserves at 1.13 MMstb net to Triangle at 30 June 2020, with economic life to mid-2026 (earlier 1.71 MMstb gross-basis figure from 2019). A farmout was started for West High, SE Nose and Mentelle Updip drilling, targeted for 1H 2022.
Pilot Energy (ASX:PGY) re-released Triangle's workover announcement. It adds that Pilot has agreed to acquire Royal Energy, which holds an effective 21.25% of Cliff Head, subject to shareholder approval. This is a third-party release, not a Triangle announcement.
The CH-6 and CH-7 workover began on 25 October 2020, with the hydraulic workover unit at Cliff Head Alpha. Replacing the pumps should restore about 400 bopd, lifting output to about 1,000 bopd, with restart expected by year end. This follows the June shut-ins.
The share purchase plan drew applications of A$4.93M at A$0.03. Triangle accepted oversubscriptions up to the 30% limit, raising A$3.91M for 130.2M shares, well above the A$1M target. Funds go to the CH6/CH7 workovers, drilling prospects and working capital.
What it means for a shareholder
130m new shares at about A$0.030 to raise about A$3.9m. That's 23% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 23% smaller. If you held A$1,000 of shares (33,299 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.00767% to 0.0059% of the company. To keep it you'd need 9,987 more shares - about A$300 at the issue price.
Triangle lodged its Appendix 4G and Corporate Governance Statement for the year to 30 June 2020. This is a compliance filing with no new operating or financial information.
ASX again paused trading in Triangle shares pending a further announcement, alongside a new price query. This is a procedural notice with no substance of its own.

The closing date for the share purchase plan at A$0.03 per share, with up to A$30,000 per eligible holder, was extended from 18 September to 2 October 2020. Results are due 7 October and new shares issue 13 October.
The share purchase plan opened on 4 September 2020 at A$0.03 per share, after 73,346,667 placement shares were issued. Eligible holders can apply for A$1,000 to A$30,000 each, capped at A$1M. Directors intend to take up their maximum.
Notice that 72,150,580 quoted options at A$0.12 expire on 30 September 2020, with quotation ceasing 24 September. The shares closed at A$0.033 on 31 August, well below the exercise price, so exercise looks unlikely (inference).
