Independent Evaluation of Hydrocarbons
Niche, the AIM listed investment company with interests in gas exploration and development activities onshore Turkey, has received results of the first independent evaluation of the recoverable hydrocarbons (the "CPR") within Oman Resources Ltd's ("Oman") assets in Turkey. Niche holds loan notes convertible into a 35.7% shareholding in Oman. The CPR was carried out by Senergy (GB) Ltd ("Senergy") across licenses AR/ARR/4077 ("Block 4077"), AR/ARR 4396 ("Block 4396"), AR/ARR/4395 ("Block 4395") and AR/ARR4394 ("Block 4394") (together the "Licences") in which Oman has farmed in to a 50% working interest.
The CPR has shown:
-- Best estimate gross recoverable Reserves, Contingent and Prospective Resources of 397.7 bcf (billion cubic feet) of gas across the Licences;
-- Short-term ability to upgrade Contingent and Prospective Resources to Reserves with the current ongoing drilling and testing activity.
A summary of the CPR results is set out below:
Net to Oman Gross Recoverable Recoverable (Bscf) (Bscf) * Reserves 2P 2P 30.8 12.6 Contingent Resources 2C 2C 140.7 57.3 Prospective Resources Best Best 226.2 92.1 Total Gas (Bscf) 397.7 162
* Net to Oman after deduction of Government Royalty of 12.5%
Hatay-4396
The CPR shows best estimate gross Recoverable Reserves of 30.8 bcf in Hatay-4396, relating solely to Miocene sand reservoirs penetrated by the Hamam-1 and Yesiltepe-1 wells, with these wells having successfully produced gas. The Hamam-1 well is currently undergoing test production and is selling natural gas into the local market.
The current programme envisions drilling a number of production wells during the balance of the year into the Hamam and Yesiltepe reservoirs to increase production and revenues.
Hatay-4395
Senergy has attributed only Prospective Resources to Hatay-4395. However, following hydrocarbon shows in the Kastal-1 well, it is anticipated that the Prospective Resources would be upgraded to Reserves on testing of the well, which is expected to occur during Q3.
Hatay-4394
Senergy has attributed only Prospective Resources to Hatay-4394. Budgeted drilling and work-over operations in late 2011-early 2012 should enable substantially all the attributed Prospective Resources to be upgraded to Reserves and Contingent Resources.
Konya-4077
The two most recently Arar-drilled wells on the licence, Gulhanim-1 and Gulhanim-2 have both encountered hydrocarbons across multiple horizons. The Gulhanim-1 well flowed gas and Gulhanim-2 flowed gas and oil to surface. Gulhanim-2 is currently being cleaned up prior to being placed on production test. Senergy has attributed Contingent and Prospective Resources to Konya-4077 including the Contingent Resources attributed to the historical Karapinar-1 and Karapinar-2 wells after re-evaluating the electric logs as a consequence of the positive results from Gulhanim-2 well.
In addition, Prospective Resources have been assigned by Senergy to a number of untested fault blocks on the Konya structure. Future exploration drilling will most likely provide an opportunity to mature these Prospective Resources to Reserves and Contingent Resources.
Nigel Little, Chairman of Niche, commented,
"This first independent assessment of the four blocks underpins Oman's expectations of gas volumes across the acreage. The operator is engaged in a work programme which should allow significant upgrading of resources.
Niche has long been of the opinion that Oman's blocks, held in partnership with one of Turkey's most established licence holders, offer great potential for near-term gas production with significant upside from further exploration."
