ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
31 January 2017 by e-lodgement
The Directors of Triple Energy Limited (ASX: TNP , Triple or Company ) are pleased to provide the following update on activities during and since the quarter to 31 December 2016.
Shaanmei Project Areas and Other New Ventures
Triple advised on 14 December 2016 that a cooperation agreement ( Agreement ) had been reached with Shaanxi Province Coal Bed Methane Exploitation and Utilization Co. Ltd., a subsidiary of Shaanmei Coal Mining Company ( Shaanmei ).
The Agreement is in the form of production sharing for Coal Bed Methane Drainage of three linked areas in Wangfeng and Sangshuping Mining Areas in Hancheng, Shaanxi Province and covers approximately 162km[2] .
Triple understands there is a technical report covering this area prepared by CCTEG Xi’an Research Institute dated 2012 however, as this is not yet audited and prepared in accordance with ASX guidelines, a report compliant with ASX requirements will need to be prepared in due course and details will be made available at that time.
The acreage is well located in China’s Ordos basin where 90% of China’s current coal bed methane production comes from. Specifically, the Wangfeng and Sangshuping mining areas in Hancheng are located in the east margin of the Ordos Basin, which is rich in coal bed methane resources.
The Agreement provides for a profit sharing arrangement and requires Triple to provide RMB5,000,000 (~$1,000,000) as a performance surety. TNP’s parent, Beijing Gas Blue Sky Power ( BGBSP ), through its TNP Board nominees, has confirmed that it is arranging this funding in support of TNP. As at the date of this report, details of the proposed structure and mechanism of this financing have not yet been made available to or considered by the non BGBSP directors, with the current expectation being that this will not now occur until after the local public holiday period. Further details on the project and financing arrangements will be announced as they become available.
Aolong JV Project in Heilongjiang
No substantial exploration activity was able to be carried out during the quarter, as the joint venture partners are continuing to investigate measures to ensure closer cooperation in the Hegang area to minimize any future development conflicts as well as identifying other project areas suitable for gas production. Triple looks forward to further progress in this regard and working together with its joint venture partner in leveraging the data acquired from the three wells now drilled.
