Extension of ORRI Call Option

By Press Releases

FALCON OIL & GAS LTD.

 Extension of ORRI Call Option

23 April 2019 – Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd. (TSXV: FO, AIM: FOG, Euronext Growth: FAC) is pleased to announce that Falcon Oil & Gas Australia Ltd. (“Falcon”) has successfully negotiated a two-year extension of the call option (“the Extension”) to acquire it’s 30% portion of the 2% ORRI from the TOG Group. The Extension will be submitted to the Northern Territory Government, Australia, for review, approval and registration if required.

 Background

In December 2013, Falcon entered an agreement with the TOG Group to acquire 7% (seven-eighths) of their 8% private ORRI over the Beetaloo Sub-basin exploration permits. Falcon made a payment to the TOG Group of $5 million to acquire 5% (five-eighths) of their ORRI on completion of a Beetaloo farm-out transaction. The TOG Group granted Falcon and Origin Energy B2 Pty Ltd. (“Origin”) a five-year call option in proportion to their Participating Interest to acquire a further 2% (two-eighths) of their ORRI for a payment of US$15 million. The TOG Group retains a 1% ORRI. The call option is due to expire on 22 August 2019.

The Extension highlights are as follows:

  • Allows Falcon to exercise its 30% share of the call option up to and including 31 August 2021.
  • Falcon to pay US$500,000 to the TOG Group for granting the Extension
  • The cost of exercising Falcon’s portion of the call option increases from US$4.5m to US$7.5m.

The Extension granted to Falcon does not change the rights or obligations for Origin under the original call option agreement.

Philip O’Quigley, CEO of Falcon, commented: 

“Falcon had originally envisaged the call option decision would follow the completion of the Beetaloo work programme under the 2014 Farmin Agreement with Origin.  In consideration of the delays to the work programme due to the moratorium on hydraulic fracture stimulation in the Northern Territory, this two-year Extension enables Falcon to further progress the Beetaloo work program, allowing Falcon make a more informed decision with the additional work completed while providing greater financial flexibility over the next couple of years.”

 2019 Beetaloo Drilling Programme – Rig Contract Signed

21 January 2019 – Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd. (TSXV: FO, AIM: FOG, ESM: FAC) is very pleased to announce that Origin Energy B2 Pty Ltd. (“Origin”), our joint venture (“JV”) partner and Operator of the Beetaloo project, in the Northern Territory, Australia, has signed a rig contract with Ensign Australia Pty Ltd. for Rig 963 for the 2019 Stage 2 Beetaloo drilling programme, with an option to extend the contract into 2020.

2019 Stage 2 Beetaloo Drilling Programme

Subject to relevant approvals, and implementation of the exploration recommendations of the Inquiry into Hydraulic Fracture Stimulation in the Northern Territory, the JV will evaluate the potential of the liquids-rich gas fairways in both the Kyalla and Velkerri plays. Exploration and appraisal activities include the drilling and hydraulic fracture stimulation of two horizontal wells. Together with the Velkerri B dry gas play discovered in 2016, this allows for the assessment of three plays, enabling the most commercially prospective play to be targeted for Stage 3 drilling during 2020.

Work has already commenced at some well sites, including water bore drilling and water monitoring, with drilling targeted to commence in June 2019.

The Stage 2 Cost Cap is approximately A$65m for the exploration and appraisal programme, including the drilling and hydraulic fracture stimulation costs of two horizontal wells.

Philip O’Quigley, CEO of Falcon, commented: 

“Today’s announcement is an exciting development for Falcon shareholders as the JV prepares to commence drilling in the highly prospective Beetaloo Sub-basin. We look forward to updating the market as work progresses over the coming months.”

Acceleration of Exploration and Appraisal Drilling Programme into Stage 2

By Press Releases

Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd. (“Falcon”)

Acceleration of Exploration and Appraisal Drilling Programme into Stage 2

16 August 2018 – Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd. (TSXV: FO, AIM: FOG, ESM: FAC) is pleased to announce it has signed an agreement to amend the Farm Out Agreement with Origin Energy B2 Pty Ltd (“Origin”), to deem Stage 1 of the exploration and appraisal drilling programme in the Beetaloo Sub-basin complete and to commence Stage 2 with a A$15 million increase to the Stage 2 Cost Cap.

Stage 1 Early Completion

Under the terms of the 2014 Farm-Out Agreement and Joint Operating Agreement (collectively “the Agreements”) the joint venture parties (“JV”) drilled three vertical wells and one hydraulic fracture stimulated horizontal well. The JV has agreed that, following the success of the fracture stimulated horizontal well in 2016, accelerating into the Stage 2 horizontal drilling programme is far more beneficial than fracture stimulating the final vertical well under Stage 1. The formal completion of Stage 1 is subject to government approval.

Stage 2 – A$15 million Cost Cap Increase

Under the Agreements, the original Stage 2 Cost Cap was approximately A$50m for the exploration and appraisal programme including the drilling and hydraulic fracture stimulation costs of two horizontal wells. With the removal of the fracture stimulation of the vertical well and accelerating the commencement of Stage 2, Origin has agreed to increase the Stage 2 Cost Cap by A$15 million, to approximately A$65 million. Any portion of the A$15 million increase not utilised during Stage 2 will transfer to the Stage 3 Cost Cap, which currently stands at A$48 million.

Stage 2 Exploration and Appraisal Drilling Program

The JV has agreed to evaluate the potential of the liquids-rich gas fairways in both the Kyalla and Velkerri plays. Exploration and appraisal activities planned for 2019 include the drilling of one vertical well and the drilling and hydraulic fracture stimulation of two horizontal wells. Preparations for this drilling program has started. This will allow for the assessment of three plays, including the Velkerri B dry gas play discovered in 2016, so that the most commercially prospective play can be targeted during Stage 3.

Stage 3 Early Capital Commitments

The Stage 2 exploration and appraisal drilling programme will determine the most commercially prospective play to be targeted during Stage 3. The JV has agreed to the early commitment of Stage 3 capital expenditure during 2019, allowing for an efficient transition from Stage 2 to Stage 3, in the case that Origin and Falcon agree to proceed to Stage 3.

Philip O’Quigley, CEO of Falcon, commented: 

“Today’s announcement is an exciting development for Falcon shareholders and is due to significant technical work carried out by Origin over the past 18 months. The agreed acceleration of the work program into Stage 2 is technically driven and the A$15m cost cap increase provides Falcon with additional financial flexibility. We are very excited about the upcoming drilling program with the objective of appraising and assessing commerciality of the prospective plays.”

Four additional potential plays in the Beetaloo Basin, Australia

By Press Releases

Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd. (“Falcon”)

Four additional potential plays in the Beetaloo Basin, Australia

15 May 2018 – Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd. (TSXV: FO, AIM: FOG, ESM: FAC) is pleased to report that Origin Energy Limited (“Origin”) presented a technical paper, headlined – “Australia’s premier shale basin: 5 plays 1,000,000,000 years in the making”, at the Australian Petroleum Production and Exploration Association (“APPEA”) Conference in Adelaide earlier today. The key findings are summarised below.

Overall

  • Origin has identified four additional potential plays in the Beetaloo sub-basin in addition to the existing and explored Velkerri shale dry gas play, namely; o Velkerri shale liquids rich gas play,
    • Kyalla shale and hybrid liquids rich gas plays, and
    • Hayfield sandstone oil/condensate play.
  • The Velkerri shale dry gas remains the most materially and technically mature resource.
  • Origin stated, “as such, the Beetaloo provides the JV with a diversified portfolio of material multi-TCF plays, each with the potential to redefine Australia’s energy market.”

Velkerri shale liquids rich gas play

  • Located along the northern and south-eastern flanks of the Beetaloo sub-basin.
  • Indications that porosity and permeability are higher in these areas.
  • Gas composition and maturity modelling indicate a possible condensate to gas ratio (“CGR”) in the region of 5-40 bbl/MMscf.
  • A horizontal fracture stimulated well to test the deliverability of the play is required to assess technical viability.

Kyalla shale and hybrid lithology liquids rich gas play

  • Two related liquid rich gas play types have been identified for further appraisal:
    • shale play targets, and
    • hybrid play targets.
  • Prospective areas are interpreted to be confined to the JV’s permits.
  • There is likely a cost advantage over the Velkerri shale dry gas play as it is shallower.
  • Liquid yields could be in the range of 15-60 bbl/MMscf.
  • Additional work is required to rank these plays for further appraisal.

Hayfield sandstone oil/condensate play

  • Interpreted as a thin but regionally extensive sandstone confined to the north of the JV permits.
  • Strong wet gas shows in the Amungee NW-1 and other regional wells suggest the presence of liquid hydrocarbons without significant formation water.
  • The Hayfield Sandstone is a tight sandstone with a significant secondary porosity network (but low matrix permeability) and potentially the presence of open, uncemented, hydrocarbon filled natural fractures.
  • Anticipated to have the highest liquid yields and lowest well costs that could contribute to improved economics of a stacked play development.
  • Success will be dependent on the combination of system permeability and resource density.
  • Would require a horizontal fracture stimulated well to assess the technical viability of the play.

Philip O’Quigley, CEO of Falcon, commented:

“The Beetaloo sub basin provides us with an exciting diversified portfolio, having exposure to all five identified plays. When activity resumes, the JV will look to demonstrate improved well deliverability through longer laterals in the Velkerri shale while simultaneously seeking to prove up high value plays with increased liquids potential with lower well cost and improved economics. We look forward to announcing a forward exploration and appraisal drilling programme in due course.”

Moratorium lifted, Beetaloo exploration to resume as soon as practical

By Press Releases

Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd. (“Falcon”)

Moratorium lifted, Beetaloo exploration to resume as soon as practical

17 April 2018 – Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd. (TSXV: FO, AIM: FOG, ESM: FAC) welcomes the decision by the Northern Territory (“NT”) government to lift the moratorium on hydraulic fracturing.

Beetaloo Update

– The decision by the NT government follows the independent scientific inquiry conclusion that not only could the risks associated with an onshore shale gas industry be minimised to an acceptable level, in some instances, they can be avoided altogether.

– Well testing completed just prior to the moratorium indicated a very promising material gas resource in the Beetaloo sub-basin. As detailed in our 15 February 2017 press release, a resource study based on the Amungee NW-1H well results and other key wells in the Beetaloo Basin estimated an OGIP of 61 TCF and 6.6 TCF gross contingent resource, over an area of 1,968 km2.

– Resumption of work with our joint venture partner, Origin Energy Limited (“Origin”) will start as soon as practical, adopting recommendations of the scientific inquiry and obtaining necessary approvals to complete the remaining work programme.

– Origin plans to drill and fracture stimulate a further five wells to complete the exploration permit commitments.

Philip O’Quigley, CEO of Falcon, commented:

“We are very pleased with the fact-based decision made by the NT government to lift the moratorium on hydraulic fracturing. We look forward to the recommencement as soon as practical of our multi-well work programme in the Beetaloo basin with our joint venture partner, Origin Energy Limited.

Background

On 21 August 2014, Falcon completed its farm-out agreement and joint operating agreement, farming down 70% interest in the Beetaloo Basin exploration permits for a carry in a nine well exploration and appraisal programme over 5 years.

2015 saw the commencement of the work programme with three wells drilled, Kalala S-1 to a total depth (“TD”) of 2,619 metres, Amungee NW-1 to a TD of 2,611 metres and the first horizontal well, Amungee NW-1H to a TD of 3,808 metres, including a 1,100 metre horizontal section.

In 2016 the Beetaloo W-1 well was drilled to a TD of 3,173 metres and the horizontal Amungee well was hydraulic fracture stimulated with production testing completed.

While further exploration and appraisal is required, Origin’s initial drilling results indicate original gas in place of 61 TCF and a 6.6 TCF gross contingent resource over an area of 1,968 km2 within the Middle Velkerri B shale pool.

Origin plans to drill a further five wells under its existing exploration permit commitments with the NT Government, completing a nine well exploration and appraisal program.

Falcon remains carried for the cost of the next five wells with the original cap totalling A$101m for the last four wells.

Final Report from the scientific inquiry into hydraulic fracturing

By Press Releases

Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd. (“Falcon”)

Final Report from the scientific inquiry into hydraulic fracturing

27 March 2018 – Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd. (TSXV: FO, AIM: FOG, ESM: FAC) notes the publication of the Final Report (“Report”) by the scientific inquiry into hydraulic fracturing.

The Inquiry Chair, Justice Rachel Pepper noted the following in Community Update #31:

It was not the role of the Inquiry to recommend whether the moratorium on hydraulic fracturing in the Northern Territory be lifted, that is a political decision that rests with the Government alone.

The overall conclusion is that risk is inherent for the onshore shale gas industry, however if all of the recommendations are implemented, the identified risks associated with any onshore shale gas industry can be mitigated or reduced to an acceptable level, and in some cases, the risks can be eliminated.

Summary of Final Report

The summary of the Final Report provided the following conclusion:

“No industry is completely without risk, and the development of any onshore shale gas industry in the NT [Northern Territory] is no exception. But having considered the latest and best-available scientific data from a wide range of sources, and noting the recent and continuing technological improvements

in the extraction of onshore shale gas, the conclusion of this Inquiry is that the challenges and risks associated with any onshore shale gas industry in the NT can be appropriately managed by, among other things:

  • releasing land that is environmentally, socially and culturally appropriate for use for shale gas development;
  • mandating world-leading engineering standards for the construction, maintenance and de-commissioning of all onshore shale gas wells and for the extraction of shale gas by hydraulic fracturing;
  • implementing new technologies where relevant as soon as they become available;
  • equiring the comprehensive monitoring and reporting of all aspects of onshore shale gas operations with real-time public scrutiny of the resulting data;
  • implementing area (regional) based approval processes;
  • the completion of a SREBA [strategic regional environmental and baseline assessment] before production to gather essential baseline data prior to any onshore shale gas industry being developed;
  • insisting on a standalone comprehensive SIA [social impact assessment] for each onshore shale gas project;
  • ensuring that traditional Aboriginal owners and Aboriginal communities are properly and comprehensively consulted about all aspects (positive and negative) of any onshore shale gas project on or affecting their country;
  • ensuring that the regulator is truly independent and that laws protecting the environment are properly enforced with sufficiently stringent sanctions for non-compliance;
  • ensuring greater access to justice;
  • reforming the current regulatory framework governing onshore shale gas development in the NT to strengthen transparency and accountability of all decision-making;
  • introducing full fee recovery to fund the necessary regulatory reforms and to ensure that strong oversight is maintained; and
  • ensuring that all of the recommendations contained in this Report are implemented in full.

Of course, nothing is guaranteed. And with any new industry, it is not uncommon for problems to emerge. However, it is the Panel’s opinion that, provided that all of the recommendations made in this Report are adopted and implemented in their entirety, not only should the risks associated with an onshore shale gas industry be minimised to an acceptable level, in some instances, they can be avoided altogether.”

Government Decision

Falcon awaits the Northern Territory Government’s decision on the current moratorium following the publication of the Final Report.

Philip O’Quigley, CEO of Falcon, commented:

“We are very pleased with the conclusions reached by the scientific inquiry as set out in the Final Report and encouraged by the final position of the Panel regarding SREBA, which requires some elements to be implemented immediately while others can proceed in parallel with the relatively small activity footprints associated with exploration. We look forward to the government’s decision on the moratorium, which we hope will be announced soon.”

Kyalla Formation Evaluation, Beetaloo Basin

By Press Releases

Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd. (“Falcon”)

Kyalla Formation Evaluation, Beetaloo Basin, Australia

21 February 2018 – Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd. (TSXV: FO, AIM: FOG, ESM: FAC) is pleased to announce that Origin Energy Limited (“Origin”) presented a technical paper on the potential of the Kyalla Formation in the Beetaloo Sub-basin at the Australia Exploration Geoscience Conference (AEGC) in Sydney earlier today. The key conclusions by Origin are summarised below:

Kyalla Formation Evaluation

  • Reservoir and geomechanical analysis acquired at the Beetaloo W-1 well indicate the presence of two potential Source Rock Reservoir (“SRR”) intervals; the middle Kyalla SRR and the lower Kyalla SRR.
  • Geomechanical properties of the lower Kyalla SRR suggest it has the greater potential and could be conducive to successful hydraulic fracture stimulation.
  • Development of the lower Kyalla SRR, if viable, could have significant cost advantages over that of the middle Velkerri SRR due to expected lower drilling costs.
  • Mudgas and core analysis indicate the reservoir is likely to be wet gas which could also improve the economics considerably.
  • There is also the possibility that a successful lower Kyalla SRR test could lead to a ‘stacked’ play development with the middle Velkerri SRR. Infrastructure sharing synergies, with a greater portion of centralised infrastructure, could result in significant cost savings and an optimised surface footprint.
  • Further appraisal work is required to determine the deliverability of the identified Kyalla SRRs.

Philip O’Quigley, CEO of Falcon, commented:

“Today’s announcement is encouraging and follows the February 2017 Discovery Evaluation Report publication on the existence of a material gas resource in the middle Velkerri formation. We look forward to the Final Report from the scientific inquiry into hydraulic fracturing due to be published in March and the Northern Territory Government’s response to the Final Report before determining the forward exploration / appraisal program.”
