XANADU-1 DISCOVERY UPDATE
HIGHLIGHTS
-
Oil assay results confirm Cliff Head analogue
-
TP/15 Joint Venture agree to 3D seismic acquisition over Xanadu structure
-
Low cost, high impact program planned for early 2018
Triangle Energy (Global) Ltd ( Triangle , the Company ) (ASX: TEG) is pleased to provide an update on the Xanadu-1 oil discovery and work program. Xanadu-1 is located offshore in the Perth Basin, about 270 kilometres north of Perth.
Triangle’s Managing Director Rob Towner said the Xanadu-1 oil analysis confirmed similarity with the oil produced at Triangle’s own Cliff Head Oil Field, which is located approximately 14km to the north-west of Xanadu.
“With the oil at Xanadu having similar properties to that at Cliff Head means the oil could be processed seamlessly at Triangle’s onshore Arrowsmith stabilisation plant, expediting any production to market.
“The similarities between the Xanadu and Cliff Head crude analysis also suggest that the oil in both fields has probably migrated from the same source. If true, this increases the likelihood that other structures within the area of Cliff Head and Xanadu may also be trapped with oil and the approved 3D seismic acquisition over the Xanadu structure will help analyse and identify additional sources.
“The Cliff Head data can be also be used as an analogue in developeing future exploration, appraisal, production and development scenarios.”

Mr Towner said the Joint Venture had agreed to a 3D seismic acquisition program over the Xanadu structure.
“The TP/15 permit has limited 2D seismic coverage, and by acquiring 3D seismic, the Xanadu structure can be mapped in much greater detail.

“While the primary purpose of the seismic will be to map the northern up-dip region where it is currently planned to drill Xanadu-2, it will also be used to map the southern down-dip structure, where significant volumes of oil are believed to be located,” Mr Towner said.
The Joint Venture is also considering extending the acquisition envelope to encompass the western flank of the Xanadu structure, where further accumulations of oil are possible.
A reservoir engineering study will be completed during Q1 2018, the results of which will be integrated with the Xanadu-1 data and 3D seismic data. This will form the basis for a conceptual development plan, well completion concepts, future well locations, productivity estimates, oil-in-place and recoverable volume calculations that can subsequently be provided to the market.
Timing of the seismic survey will be dependent upon regulatory approvals, however it is anticipated that a late Q1 2018 acquisition is possible.
Strategen Environmental has been formally engaged to manage the regulatory approvals process on behalf of the TP/15 Joint Venture, and a community consultation plan is also under development.
Norwest, as operator of the joint venture, is currently reviewing proposals from seismic acquisition vendors, however the technical program and budget will require Joint Venture approval prior to the acquisition contract being awarded. Timing of the seismic survey will be dependent upon regulatory approvals. It is anticipated that a late Q1 2018 acquisition is possible.
A Discovery Assessment Report is also currently being prepared for submission to the Minister for Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety and is due by 26 December 2017. This follows the Discovery Notice which was lodged when the Xanadu-1 discovery was made.
The Joint Venture will continue to progress the next stage of project appraisal as efficiently and effectively as possible.
