QUARTERLY ACTIVITY REPORT
30 June 2018
Interest in WA-54-R Greater Cornea Fields
The company holds a 14.875% working interest in the Cornea Joint Venture. The Cornea Joint Venture ownership is as follows:
| Enegex Limited | 14.875% |
|---|---|
| Octanex Group (ASX Code: OXX) | 18.750% |
| Cornea Resources Pty Ltd (Operator) | 13.100% |
| Others | 53.275% |
The Greater Cornea Fields (being the Cornea, Focus and Sparkle Oil Fields and the Cornea North (Tear) Gas Field) are located in the Browse Basin, offshore from Western Australia and held via a Retention Lease (WA-54-R).

Figure 1 Greater Cornea Field Retention Lease Location Map
The Greater Cornea Fields present a large in-place oil resource contained in a challenging reservoir. At the time the Retention Lease was applied for and granted, production uncertainty was identified as the primary constraint to development. A successful production test well designed to demonstrate threshold productivity for development initiation is required to commercialise Cornea.
Given the favourable prevailing oil price when the Retention Lease was applied for (October 2013), numerous field development concepts were then considered to be economic (subject to achieving threshold production volumes).
The current oil price environment therefore presents a further significant challenge to the Cornea field’s commerciality, having rendered as non-viable the field development concepts previously considered as potentially viable.
Reflecting our markedly reduced oil price expectations, new development concept screening was undertaken with the objective of identifying a field development concept with the potential to be commercial at current oil prices in the order of US$50 a barrel.
Following this screening, a field development concept predicated on the use of a Mobile Offshore Production Unit (MOPU) with a subsea holding tank and single point mooring has been selected for further investigation. This concept is significantly different to earlier concepts, with implications for significant cost reduction.
Integrated reservoir modelling and facilities work continued during the quarter to support design of a production test well capable of delivering threshold productivity using this development concept. The Cornea Joint Venture has applied to vary the conditions of WA-54-R to facilitate this work.
Our studies indicate that an oil price than can confidentially be expected to be consistently above $80 a barrel for a number of years would be required to justify any decision to develop.
Energy Storage Innovation
Enegex is open to other natural resource opportunities that may present.
With oil prices continuing to languish, we have considered other avenues where our future may lie. In particular, with advances being made in energy generation and storage, Enegex is seeking to become involved in innovations that are transforming the storage of energy. Our involvement in energy storage and services may take a variety of forms including direct participation, joint venture and equity investment.
Our initial initiatives are to investigate and to undertake corporate investment in the following areas:
-
Strategic energy storage minerals
-
Energy storage technologies
-
Alternative and renewable energy sources
