ARGENTINA has won the shale “lottery” with a 1000foot-thick Vaca Muerta formation, according to Chevron.

While commercial layers of shale formations may just be slithers of a broader sandwich of unproductive rock, Chevron spokesman Kent Robertson told Reuters that Argentina “kind of won the geological lottery” with its uniquely thick Vaca Muerta find.

Vaca Muerta is like one big cake, 1000 feet [305 metres] thick in places, which means one well can be much more productive," Robertson reportedly said.

The region is tipped to host other advantages. “One of the unique things about Vaca Muerta from an international perspective is that it is in an area where you've already got oil industry activity," Robertson told the newswire.

"There is already an established oil industry in the region where the shale is. You've got service companies, you've got pipelines and infrastructure.

“You've got existing assets that do not need to be recreated. Plus, you've also got a head start in that you have knowledge of the rocks." Chevron last month agreed to invest $US1.6 billion ($A1.73 billion) in Argentinian shale development, including to drill 170 wells in the Vaca Muerta with joint venture partner YPF.

Further Information on Advent Energy’s Bonaparte Basin Unconventional Assets:

• The depositional environment in Australia is predominantly terrestrial vs. marine in North America. The predominant source rocks are coal and lacustrine shales as opposed to marine shales in North America. Advent Energy’s Milligans Formation (primary shale resource target) is shallow marine depositional source material.

The estimated shale resource potential in Australia appears massive with proximity to robust Asia-Pacific LNG markets. Activity in Australian unconventional plays will build momentum. (Circa 1400 TCF)

Nb: Net and gross thicknesses of the shales vary with different published sources

Advent Note:

The reservoir thickness from which the estimated 6 Tcf in the ACOLA report was based was 36m (120ft) of average net shale thickness in the Bonaparte Basin.

The thickness estimated from Advent’s well logs shows elevated gas levels from between 300m and 1700m indicating substantial prospective upside in shale gas resource for Advent’s Bonaparte Basin areas.

Bonaparte Basin (WA/NT) EP 386 / RL-1 Shale and tight gas exploration

  • Multiple petroleum targets are present in EP 386 & RL1 area:

  • Proven conventional gas charged sandstone reservoirs in nearshore marine area of the Milligans Formation (Prospective Resources in EP386 increased to mean 556 Bcf), with potential for deeper prospective shales;

  • Unconventional gas-condensate shale play in the shallow marine areas of Lower Milligans Formation;

  • Unconventional tight gas sandstone and limestone reservoirs in the Langfield, Ningbing & Cockatoo groups below the Milligans Formation.

  • Lower Milligans Formation shale is prospective for shale gas play with considerably large upside potential:

  • Marine shale with moderate organic richness: TOC of over 4% from samples in wells within or in close proximity of EP 386. Higher TOC could be present in the area in the north & northeast of EP 386;

  • Source rocks are mature for gas and oil generation: Ro range 0.44-2.42% & Tmax range from 430 to 480;

  • Limited geochemical data indicates source rocks at depth shallower than c. 1400m are mature for gas/wet gas and oil generating windows, but overmature and in the dry gas generating window at depth below 1400m.

  • The thickness of the prospective shale gas play is varied from 300m to over 1500m. This would provide significant upside in prospective shale gas resources

Unrisked OGIP for EP 386 & RL 1 could be in the range from c. 19 TCF to 141 TCF

Bonaparte Basin:

The Bonaparte Basin is currently Australia’s third most prolific offshore hydrocarbonproducing basin. A proven hydrocarbon producing basin representing 19% of Australian liquids and 17% of gas (2005 Geoscience Australia report). EP386 and RL1 are located on the southern, onshore portion of the Bonaparte Basin. EP386 covers 2568km[2] in Western Australia and RL1 covers 166km[2] in the Northern Territory.

Production development offshore was established since the 1980s at the Challis-Cassini, Jabiru, Laminaria, Laminaria East, Corallina, Buffalo, and Elang-Kakatua oilfields. The BayuUndan field is the key driver of the NT’s LNG export boom. (source)

Advent’s acreage is underexplored – 14 wells in 2,734km[2] – only 1 well for every 195km[2] .

Australia tipped to overtake China in shale boom MATT CHAMBERS, THE AUSTRALIAN , JANUARY 20, 2014

==> picture [572 x 298] intentionally omitted <==

AUSTRALIA is being touted as the place most able to replicate the shale gas and oil success of the US, overtaking China, where exploration is struggling to gain traction, and other nations that pose too much regulatory risk. Boston consultant Lux Research has issued a study declaring Australia "the next big energy market" for shale ahead of China, which was once seen as having similar potential to the US. Australia beats other nations with potential shale and other unconventional resources because of know-how and government stability, Lux says.

For shale gas, TOCs should ideally be between 2.0% by weight (wt%) and 7.0wt%.

A value of approximately 0.5wt% is considered the minimum for an effective conventional source rock.

Many of the North American plays have TOC values that exceed the ideal range, whilst most Australian plays fall comfortably within the optimum range.

Adjacent Port of Wyndham:

Wyndham Port is the only deep-water port between Broome and Darwin. Exports include oil, iron ore, live cattle and nickel. Imports include fuel oil, ammonium nitrate for the mining industry (in particular Argyle Diamond Mine) and general cargo. The port is predominantly for servicing of commercial and trade vessels and is a designated maritime security facility. LNG tankers can access Wyndham Port.

ADVENT Ener Ltd. – Summar gy y

Late stage Exploration with early stage Production wells

Low-risk, high-return pipeline 4 petroleum titles and 20 validated wells

Focus on low-entry-cost projects with massive deposits

Booming demand for gas and shortage of supply in Asia

Experienced and high-demand management team in place

  • ADVENT’s four key petroleum titles contain all the elements seen in other producing, world class petroleum basins, and have an aggregate Prospective recoverable Resources of over 15 TCF (Best Estimate).

  • The aggregate area of all four permits exceeds 6,800 km[2]

  • Multiple petroleum targets are present in EP386 & RL1 – Lower Milligans Fm shale is prospective for shale gas play with considerably large upside potential. All wells have been independently validated for gas/methane content.

  • The thickness of the prospective shale gas play varies from over 300 m to over 1,500 m.

  • Unconventional OGIP for EP386 & RL1 estimated in the range from 19 TCF to 141 TCF in Milligans Formation shales, with additional potential in deeper prospective shales. Conservative independent assessments for the region provide a 6 TCF Prospective Resource

  • Federal and State Government investment into the Kununurra/East Kimberley region exceeding $500 million and will bring infrastructure within 15 km of the Vienta gas discovery.

  • Management & board members hold over 75 years combined oil industry experience, mainly from Schlumberger Asia.

  • Exceptional advisory panel with international oil industry experience.
