New Seaclem-1 Well Summary

The New Seaclem 1 well will be drilled 55km east of Newcastle within Commonwealth Waters.

The well will be the first exploration well to be drilled offshore New South Wales.

New Seaclem-1 will target natural gas in the Great White and Marlin stratigraphic prospects contained within the Cainozoic age sedimentary sequence. The specific gas targets are within interpreted Tertiary age sandstone reservoirs in that sequence and on the basis of seismic interpretation and site surveys the Great White/Marlin prospects have prospective gas in place resources of 7 TCF in PEP11.

Bounty is free carried for all costs of the New Seaclem 1 well. Upon completion of the well Advent will increase its working interest in PEP11 from 25% to 85%. Bounty will thereby reduce its interest from 75% to 15%.

See location map below.
