Mahalo Gas Hub Area, Bowen Basin, QLD

Comet Ridge holds 100% equity in three project areas in the Mahalo Gas Hub area, and a 40% interest (increasing to 70%) in the Mahalo Gas Project. The current net acreage area for Comet Ridge across the Mahalo Gas Hub is substantial at 1,250 km[2] , with a large part of these blocks sitting over the highest productivity Mahalo shallow fairway. This is the fairway that has been extensively appraised and importantly has produced 1.4 MMcfd (million standard cubic feet of gas per day) from a lateral pilot well (Mira 6) drilled only 924 metres in coal (refer ASX announcement 26 June 2018).

A summary of each of the permits in the Mahalo Gas Hub area and current status is shown below.

Mahalo Gas Project (PL 1082 & 1083, PCA 302 to 304) – Comet Ridge 40%, increasing to 70%

Overview

The Mahalo Gas Project, with two Petroleum Leases (PL’s) formally awarded, is Comet Ridge’s flagship gas project and once in production, will provide the scale and infrastructure to underpin development of Comet Ridge’s 100% owned blocks in the Mahalo Gas Hub. The Mahalo Gas Project, focussed initially on the shallow fairway in PL 1082 and 1083 (see Figure 1 ), is currently a joint venture between Comet Ridge (40%), Santos (30%) and APLNG (30%). Comet Ridge and APLNG have agreed a transaction for APLNG to exit the block, with Comet Ridge acquiring APLNG’s equity share (refer ASX announcements on 3 August 2021).

The initial focus for development of the Project will be in the two Petroleum Lease (PL 1082 and PL 1083) areas that were awarded to the Mahalo joint venture participants in June 2020, and have been heavily appraised to date, with strong flow rates and 2P reserves independently certified. The Project is located 65km to the north of infrastructure connecting to the east coast gas market and Gladstone LNG export terminals (see Figure 2 ).

APLNG acquisiton update

Comet Ridge entered into a binding agreement to acquire Australia Pacific LNG Pty Limited’s (APLNG) 30% interest in the Mahalo Gas Project, announced on 3 August 2021, taking Comet Ridge’s interest from 40% to 70% on completion ( Acquisiton ). At the same time, Comet Ridge executed a funding and option agreement with continuing Mahalo Gas Project partner, Santos QNT Limited, whereby Santos may increase its equity interest in Mahalo from 30% to 50% and acquire 50% interests in Mahalo North (ATP 2048) and Mahalo East (ATP 2061).

During the December 2021 quarter, the Mahalo joint venture parties have materially progressed the conditions required to be satisfied prior to completion of the Acquisition. The conditions are broadly grouped into four categories and the current status is summarised in Table 2 below.

Mahalo North (ATP 2048) – Comet Ridge 100%

Overview

Mahalo North (Comet Ridge 100%, Operator) is highly prospective (450km[2] block) located directly north of, and contiguous with, the Mahalo Gas Project. The block was formally awarded to Comet Ridge by the Queensland Government in 2020. Gas produced from Mahalo North is subject to domestic supply conditions, meaning that it cannot be supplied other than to the Australian domestic market (unless there is an offsetting domestic sales volume from another project via a swap arrangement).

Comet Ridge has undertaken subsurface analysis utilising the significant volume of detailed well and seismic data that exists for the permit, principally from historical coal and petroleum exploration. The third party, high quality, seismic data has increased the Company’s confidence in the productive coal fairway and the ability of strategically placed pilots to deliver meaningful gas volumes. This means that appraisal and initial development well locations can be chosen based on the available data.

Drilling and Appraisal Program

During the December quarter and into January 2022, Comet Ridge has undertaken the following appraisal work program:

  • Drilled Mahalo North 1 vertical well and cored to confirm key coal reservoir data from lab analysis;

  • Drilled a dual lateral well (Mahalo North 2), which intersected Mahalo North 1 through the target coal reservoir;

  • Completed Mahalo North 1 with downhole pump, production tubing and pressure gauge in preparation for production testing;

  • Installed surface production equipment including water storage tanks, gas-water separator, flowlines and flare stack; and

  • Commenced production testing of Mahalo North 1 on 14 January 2022.

Interpretaton of drilling and appraisal results to date

Drilling Results

Results from drilling the Mahalo North 1 vertical well and Mahalo North 2 dual lateral well have been very positive and exceeded Comet Ridge’s pre-drilling expectations. Figure 3 below shows a schematic of the wells and Figure 4 shows water storage and production test facilities on site.

Production testing

The Mahalo North production test commenced on 14 January 2022 with the downhole pump started at low speed and water being produced to the on-site water storage tanks.

After starting the downhole pump and initially achieving 110 barrels of water per day (bwpd) the pump speed has been increased and the water rate has increased to 141 bwpd. Over the coming weeks, the pump speed will be progressively increased to draw the bottomhole pressure down in a controlled manner, which will significantly increase water flow from the well. This will reduce pressure in the reservoir over a wide area around the well to enable gas desorption from the surface of the coal and production of both water and gas to surface for measurement. Based on the Company’s experience from the very successful Mahalo 7 and Mira 6 production tests in the main Mahalo Gas Project just to the south, a slow and controlled reduction in pressure in the reservoir in this manner, allows these particularly productive fractures in the coal seam to remain open and the best possible gas flowrate to be achieved. This process follows how production wells would be brought on line in development.

5

==> picture [68 x 33] intentionally omitted <==

Comet Ridge expects that based on the excellent permeability already observed in Mahalo North 1 and the high fluid losses experienced whilst drilling both lateral sections of Mahalo North 2, that strong water and gas rates should be expected. In anticipation of these higher water and gas rates Comet Ridge has secured a larger water storage tank which is now expected to be installed next month.

Refer to Comet Ridge’s ASX releases of 25 October 2021 and 15 November 2021 for more detail on both Mahalo North 1 and 2 drilling results and ASX releases of 8 December 2021, 22 December 2021 and 17 January 2022 for Mahalo North operations updates.

Galilee Basin, Qld - ATP 743, 744 & 1015 (Comet Ridge 100% in “Shallows”, 70% in “Deeps”)

Tenure Renewal and Potental Commercial Area applicatons

Activities in the Galilee Basin projects in the current quarter have continued to focus on technical work that will secure tenure via renewal of certain areas of Authorities to Prospect (ATP) 743 and ATP 744, and underpin securing the large resource areas with Potential Commercial Area (PCA) applications to the Queensland Government.

ATP 743

The permit came to the end of its term on 3 September 2021 with all work program commitments up to date and the permit in good-standing with the Queensland Government. Comet Ridge has applied for permit renewal and PCA applications over the most prospective areas of this permit, including the Koburra structure in the north-west of the permit (PCA 318) and an area in the south-east of the permit (PCA 319), which is an extension of the Albany structure from ATP 744. Most of the remaining area of the ATP will be relinquished as part of the permit renewal and PCA application process, which were submitted to the Queensland Department of Resources in August 2021 and were subsequently formally accepted for evaluation. Comet Ridge is targeting retention of approximately 30% of this block under PCAs with the remainder relinquished.

ATP 744

This permit came to the end of its term on 31 October 2021, with all work program commitments up to date and the permit in good-standing with the Queensland Government. Comet Ridge submitted a permit renewal application for ATP 744 in September 2021 to the Queensland Department of Resources, along with three PCA applications – one over the Albany Structure (PCA 320), the second over the Schmitt East area (PCA 321) and the third over the Gunn CSG project area (PCA 322). A significant portion of ATP 744 is targeted to be retained by Comet Ridge due to a combination of the strong prospectivity and size of the Albany Structure (conventional sandstone gas) held by the Galilee Deeps Joint Venture (Comet Ridge 70% and Vintage Energy 30%) and also via the CSG Contingent Resource areas in the shallower sections, held 100% by Comet Ridge.

ATP 1015

This permit term ends on 30 November 2022. In October 2021, Comet Ridge submitted PCA applications over two areas within the permit – Schmitt (PCA 323) and Ophir (PCA 324). Both of these areas are prospective for CSG and conventional sandstone gas.

Figure 5 below shows the PCA application areas within Comet Ridge’s Galilee Basin permits.

Updatng and quantfying very large CSG resource potental

Detailed geological and geophysical work continues to progress to refine the geological model for the Gunn CSG Project Area across ATP 744 and ATP 1015. This area is in excess of 2,100 km[2] with an initial CSG focus area of approximately 950 km[2] .

This upgraded model will be used to identify development options using geological characteristics and concept well designs. The geological model will also underpin a revised CSG resource assessment for the Gunn CSG Project area over the PCA areas from within ATP 744 and ATP 1015.

Gunnedah Basin, NSW – PEL 6, PEL 427 (Comet Ridge 29.55% to 100%)

Comet Ridge’s two contiguous NSW licences (PEL 427 and PEL 6) cover a total area of 10,926 km[2] and are located in the northern Gunnedah Basin, immediately north and northeast of Santos’ Narrabri CSG Project in the Bohena Trough. Comet Ridge currently holds between 29.55% and 59.09% CSG equity interests across these licences and between 97.5% and 100% conventional equity interest. Comet Ridge is the conventional operator whilst Santos operates the CSG interest.

There has been minimal activity in the NSW licences during the current quarter following the NSW Government Future of Gas Statement release on 21 July 2021. In this Statement, the NSW Government on one hand seems to support a gas industry as critical for manufacturing, but at the same time has undertaken to restrict gas activity outside the Narrabri Gas Project area. The Company is unclear on the NSW Government’s intentions for renewal of PEL 6 and PEL 427.

The Company will keep the market updated on developments.

Gas Markets

Bowen Basin Concept Study

The Queensland Government’s Department of Resources released a report prepared by KPMG, GHD and NSAI in December 2021 (Report) which investigates the potential of unlocking future gas supply from the Bowen Basin in Queensland. The Report confirms new upstream sources of gas supply are required from as early as the mid-2020s to avoid long-term shortfalls in the East Coast Gas and export markets. The Report concludes the Bowen Basin is potentially in a prime position to meet the State’s needs due to its existing infrastructure, existing production and extensive exploration and appraisal activity. In particular, the Moranbah, Blackwater and Mahalo regions were noted as the most likely to provide the new production sources to fill demand with the Mahalo region already being close to existing infrastructure.

The Report also examined a number of options for gas pipeline export from the Basin and noted at least two of the routes pass very close to the Mahalo Gas Hub area to connect with existing infrastructure near Rolleston.

East Coast Gas Markets

East coast wholesale domestic gas prices (both spot and contract) continue to strengthen and increased by 28.7% in Q3 2021, followed by spot prices increasing in November 2021 to $10-13/GJ. Domestic spot prices remain well below international spot prices, which are around $40/GJ, with high international spot prices encouraging strong exports from Gladstone, including high-priced spot cargoes. Figure 6 below shows the strengthening gas prices on a monthly basis since November 2020 (source: EnergyQuest, December 2021).
