Pancontinental Oil and Gas NL (ASX: PCL) wishes to advise that Joint Venture (JV) partner and operator of the EP 104 & R1 Onshore Canning Basin project, Arc Energy (ASX: ARQ), has announced that drilling operations at the Valentine-1 exploration well are continuing at a final measured depth (MD) of 3,430m.

Final TD has been called at 3430m MD based on lack of porosity in cuttings and the lack of significant hydrocarbon shows in the Virgin Hills Formation section and a wiper trip is being performed prior to logging. Final interests in R1 and EP104 post the Valentine-1 well farm-in earning program are:

ARC Energy Limited (Operator) 38.95%
Empire Oil and Gas NLEmerald Oil & Gas NL 14.8%12.75%
Pancontinental Oil & Gas NL 10%
Phoenix Resources PLC 10%
First Australian Resources Limited 8%
Indigo Oil Pty Ltd 5.5%

Pancontinental General Manager, Matthew Battrick said: “The upper portion of the clastic sediment interval of the target Virgin Hills Formation is interpreted to have been intersected with lithologies being predominantly tight sandstones and calcareous claystones. No significant indications of hydrocarbons or porosity were noted over this interval. Further evaluation of all intervals in this well will be undertaken with the wireline logging program.

“Following the logging program, the well will be plugged back and sidetracked to the Stokes Bay location. The very strong gas shows and indications of porosity in the shallower intervals of the Anderson and Laurel Formations is considered highly encouraging for the targets of the Stokes Bay 1 well which were encountered as planned substantially down-dip in the Valentine well bore.”
