VANESSA-1 ST-1: PEL-182

A NEW PERMIAN GAS DISCOVERY in the COOPER BASIN S.A.

Eagle Bay Resources advises that Vanessa-1 sidetrack ST-1 has been successfully drilled to a new TD of 3157m, and Schlumberger have successfully wireline logged across the entire new sidetrack interval from TD up – including the Patchawara Fm. (In the original hole, the prospective Patchawarra Fm could not be logged as logging tools were unable to pass deeper then 3027m due to obstruction at a thick coal bed).

Drill stem testing (DST) of the Epsilon and Toolachee formations flowed significant gas to surface, when tool malfunctioned, got irretrievably stuck, and then requiring a new sidetrack be drilled to a new TD for completion as a new Permian Gas Producer.

Halliburton have successfully run and cemented 7” production casing in the sidetrack to TD, and the well is now cased and suspended as a future Permian Gas Producer. Century Rig-3 was released at midnight on Tuesday 17[th] July 2007.

DST GAS PRODUCTION (from 2 of 3 zones) With Corrected DST Intervals

The latest wireline logs in the sidetrack hole have confirmed the presence of the same productive reservoir sands in the Toolachee and Epsilon formations that were earlier Drill Stem Tested in the original hole, which flowed gas to surface at following rates: DST-1A Epsilon Sand 2977 -2980m 5.1 MMscfd on ½” choke at 800 psi FP DST-1B Epsilon Sand 2960 -2963m No Flow-Tool Plugged? (should flow?) DST-1C Toolachee Sand 2929 -2932m 3.9 MMscfd on ½” choke at 525 psi FP No DST’s were run in the deeper Patchawarra Fm, as blocked by coal obstruction.

These are similar intervals as are producing from the Pennie-1 Gas Field, 4 Km updip from Vanessa-1, discovered by Santos in 1995 and on production ever since. The gas gathering line to Moomba passes through the Pennie-1 location.

POTENTIAL FOR PATCHAWARRA GAS

The latest sidetrack logs have finally provided data across the Patchawarra interval, and indicate several additional prospective gas sands in the Patchawarra Fm. These sands will be production tested through casing at a later date and their flow rates determined, when a work over rig is brought on site to develop the well and bring it into production.

ESTIMATED GAS RESOURCE

Preliminary analysis of log and DST data indicates Vanessa-1 appears to have achieved a resource potential in the order of 15 Bcf of gas, based on pre-drill mapping. In conjunction with future cased hole production testing, the operator is currently undertaking detailed geological and geophysical studies to define the reserve potential of the Vanessa gas pool.

Similar follow up prospects also lie close by to the Vanessa-1 location in PEL 182, and in the event of success could be tied into Vanessa-1 to increase proven reserves and gas deliverability to sales point, using nearby infrastructure.

The status of Vanessa-1 ST-1 at 06:00 hrs (CST) on 18[th] July 2007 was: Location: PEL-182 Planned Total Depth: 3200 metres (TVD) Current depth: 3157 metres at TD in Sidetrack. Status: Hole Cased & Suspended with 7” production casing Well is now a Suspended Permian Gas Producer. Operation: Century Rig-3 Released at Midnight 17[th] July 2007

This will be the last Daily ASX release for Vanessa-1
