Monthly Drilling Report

Release Date: 6 September 2017

Senex is half way through its Phase 2 drilling program of 30 appraisal wells for the Western Surat Gas Project in Queensland, and has drilled an oil appraisal well in the Cooper Basin during August.

Surat Basin - Western Surat Gas Project

Seven wells were drilled within the Eos and Glenora blocks during August with all wells cased and suspended as future coal seam gas producers. Of the 30 wells in the current campaign, 14 wells have been drilled with the 15[th] well spudded in early September.

The Phase 2 investment program for the Western Surat Gas Project focuses on the south-east area of Senex’s permits, within the drill-ready blocks Eos (ATP 795) and Glenora (ATP 889). The area is approximately 30 kilometres from Roma and directly north of GLNG’s producing Roma field. The campaign is appraising the coal seam gas production potential of the Walloon coal measures with an average well depth of around 430 metres.

Construction activities for water and gas handling infrastructure continued during August, with the gathering system nearing completion and wellsite skid installations underway. Senex holds 100% operating interest in the Western Surat Gas Project. Refer to the map in Figure 1 showing drilling locations.

Cooper Basin

Martlet North-2 oil appraisal well (ex-PEL 104/111: Senex 60% and operator)

Marlet North-2 was drilled as a deviated oil appraisal well targeting the Namur Sandstone, approximately 250 metres north-east of the producing Martlet North-1 well. The well was identified from the Mollichuta 3D seismic survey and drilled from the Martlet North-1 pad, and designed to appraise the north-eastern extent of the field and improve overall field recovery. Martlet North-2 reached total depth of 1,626 metres subsequent to month-end, with the decision made to plug and abandon due to lack of commercial pay. Refer to the map in Figure 2 for the Martlet North-2 well location.

Senex expects to move the rig to a drilling location in the south-western Cooper Basin during September.
