Vali Field Reserves Significantly Upgraded
Three-fold upgrade of Vali Field Gross 2P Gas Reserves from original independent evaluation.
Independently evaluated Gross 2P Reserves of 92 Bscf (101 PJ - 25.2 PJ net Metgasco) vs previous estimate of 30.3 Bscf (33.5 PJ - 8.4 PJ net Metgasco)
Reserves Increase for the Patchawarra Formation and addition of Toolachee Formation
The board of Metgasco Ltd (ASX:MEL) ( Metgasco or the Company ) is delighted to announce a material upgrade to the independently evaluated reserves for the Vali Field in the Cooper Basin.
Ken Aitken, Metgasco Managing Director, commented:
“The independent evaluation of a material upgrade in the Vali gas field reserves is a great outcome for Metgasco and confirms the decision to drill the Vali-2 and 3 appraisal wells. The study confirms the Toolachee reservoir has conventional gas flow potential to supplement the unconventional potential gas productivity in the Patchawarra zone already tested in Vali-1 ST1. This reserves upgrade further validates Metgasco’s “string of pearls” thesis and underpins the planned pivot to a gas producer into the strengthening East coast gas market in mid CY2022.”
ATP 2021 (Vintage 50% and operatorship, Metgasco Ltd 25% and Bridgeport (Cooper Basin) Pty Ltd 25%)
ERC Equipoise Pte Ltd (“ERCE”) recently completed an independent evaluation of the Vali Field, which included results from the Vali-2 and Vali-3 wells. As a result of this evaluation, ERCE revised its 1P, 2P and 3P reserves estimates for the Vali Field to include the Toolachee Formation, as well as revising upward the previously booked reserves from the Patchawarra Formation. The following tables detail the combined revised reserves estimates.

Resource Evaluator
ERCE is an independent consultancy specialising in petroleum reservoir evaluation. Except for the provision of professional services on a fee basis, ERCE has no commercial arrangement with any other person or company involved in the interests that are the subject of this Reserves evaluation. The work has been supervised by Mr Adam Becis, Principal Reservoir Engineer of ERCE’s Asia Pacific office who has over 14 years of experience. He is a member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers and also a member of the Society of Petroleum Evaluation Engineers.
The increase in the independently evaluated 2P gas reserves, when compared with the original reserves booking (which only accounted for the Patchawarra Formation), is 201%.
As previously advised, detailed Engineering has commenced for the connection of the Vali gas field to the South Australian Cooper Basin Joint Venture (SACBJV) infrastructure, with the work awarded to Logicamms, a member of the Verbrec group of companies. This work is a crucial step toward first production and cash flow for the Joint Venture.
