CHAIRMAN’S ADDRESS
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING – 17 NOVEMBER 2011
Ladies and Gentlemen,
2011 has been a year of transformation for Strike Energy.
Over the past 12 months the Company has successfully executed a strategy which we believe will deliver the rewards that all stakeholders are seeking. This time last year I said that “Strike had to be innovative and be prepared to reposition itself to deliver better outcomes for shareholders”.
I believe that we are demonstrating our ability to do the former and are well on the way to achieving better shareholder outcomes. Strike Energy is a different Company to a year ago. We have a new senior management team, a new Board composition and exciting new high-upside opportunities.
The market environment over this past year has been difficult. Repositioning the Company in such an environment has seen Strike Energy’s share price perform below expectations. In addition the Wilcox exploration program did not achieve the success which we have experienced and grown to expect from previous years. Nevertheless as a consequence of the initiatives taken over the year, I and the Board are confident in the direction we are taking and very optimistic about the outcomes we can achieve.
Let me talk briefly about the strategy:
-
We are committed to maximising shareholder exposure to high-impact exploration opportunities;
-
We seek to maximise economic potential by maintaining an oil and liquids rich gas emphasis; and
-
We focus on Australia and the USA because of our strong relationships and commercial and technical knowledge in these markets.
So what has this strategy delivered?
Since last year, we are now a significant player in the Eagle Ford Shale, the USA’s (if not the world’s) premier shale play. We have been steadily accumulating acreage within the preferred condensate/gas fairway, and I’m pleased to announce that Strike now has over 8,000 net acres in the Eagle Ford Shale. Our Eagle Ford Shale investment ticks all the boxes. It is big, it is liquids rich and we are working with experienced and capable partners. The year ahead looks very exciting as we move from leasing to exploration and potentially onto production.
Last week we announced an important extension to our USA business with an entry into the Permian Basin, the USA’s most prolific oil producing region. The Clearfork Shale investment is consistent with our strategy; it meets our criteria. It gives shareholders high-upside exposure, comparable to our Eagle Ford Shale position and an early entry into an oil-rich shale play. The acquisition also boosts Strike’s production and reserves position.
In Australia, there is considerable interest in our Cooper Basin unconventional drilling program. Strike Energy has a very large position in the Cooper & Eromanga Basins – over 16,000 net square kilometres – which we have estimated contains a prospective resource of over 6 Tcf gas net to Strike Energy. Let’s be clear this is an early stage play, but again, the potential value for shareholders is extremely large.
So what can shareholders look forward to over the next 12 months?
The AD Kennison 1 well at the conventional St Landry Canyon Project is expected to reach total depth shortly. This is a very large prospect, and if drilling is successful it will multiply Strike’s reserves and production.
In the Cooper Basin, we have two evaluation wells being drilled by our partner Beach Energy during the first calendar quarter.
Both the Eagle Ford Shale and Clearfork Shale projects have active drilling programs planned with the potential to deliver unconventional production during the year.
We are also planning an additional Wilcox conventional well.
Our new management team, led by David Wrench, is motivated and working hard.
It makes for an exciting year ahead; certainly the most active we have had.
Strike Energy has a great suite of assets and the strategy and team to take the Company to the next level.
In closing, I wish to thank Simon Ashton on behalf of the Board and shareholders for his vision and leadership during his 13 years at the helm and for his efforts in building the Company to its current position.
I also wish to thank the Company’s employees and my fellow Directors for their contribution to the management of the Company and its activities.
Finally, to the shareholders, thank you for your continuing support.
