– ASX QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT DECEMBER 2014 QUARTER
Operations
Antilles Oil and Gas NL (“Antilles”) continues to identify and develop opportunities within the established strategy in both the deep water exploration and near term exploration/appraisal targeting the Caribbean and northern South America.
The company is seeing excellent near term exploration / appraisal options in onshore South America with the potential to add a base level of value into the company. These near term opportunities are onshore with a low entry cost leading to drilling and the company has two active negotiations ongoing looking to complete in the first quarter 2015.
In the greater Caribbean the company has three active bids with negotiations in progress and intends to secure one high impact exploration block which has potential to add high multiples of value into the company in the first half 2015.
In line with our strategy to draw on alliances to support bids for acreage with Governments and deliver work programs efficiently, Antilles has finalised agreements with Multi Client Geophysical (MCG) of Norway to cooperate in exploration efforts in the Caribbean where both companies see areas of high potential. This compliments the other two alliances that have been put in place over the past 4 months with AGR FJ Brown, Inc (drilling) and Polarcus (2D seismic).
Regional highlights include strong activity with BHPBilliton entering into contracts in Trinidad and Barbados http://www.oedigital.com/component/k2/item/7676-trinidad-bhp-bg-sign-ontwo-deepwater-blocks, Petrobras making the first deep water discovery offshore Colombia http://www.ogj.com/articles/2014/12/petrobras-makes-deepwater-discovery-in-colombiancaribbean.html, and Tullow investing in offshore Jamaica http://jamaicagleaner.com/gleaner/20141112/business/business62.html.
The falling oil price has created headwinds for oil and gas explorers and developers and there has been considerable debate in the media and amongst analysts as to where it will ultimately settle and what projects are most affected. It is the view of the board that the deep water projects that the company plans to enter into will have terms set that work down to the lower oil prices and that these projects will provide attractive opportunities for partners once the early exploration work has been completed leading to subsequent drilling.
