Senex Energy Limited (Senex, ASX: SXY) is pleased to report tha tgas has flowed to surface at a rate of more than two million cubic feet per day at the Hornet - 1 unconventional gas exploration well in the southern Cooper Basin permit PEL 115 (Senex 80% and Operator; Orca Energy Limited (Orca, ASX: OGY) 20%).

Our drilling energies and resources in 2013 are being channelled into developing and growing our near plant Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve over the next 12 months,” said Focus Minerals Chairman and Acting CEO Don Taig. ” Our goal is to return the business to a stable position of having  2- 3 years of Ore Reserves ahead of us which will in turn enable us to make the appropriate key business decisions in relation to mill expansions and recommissioning’s which we know can have a significant impact on the long term economics of our operations.

Potential of 7 billion barrels of hydrocarbon resources offshore Africa

The Board of FAR Limited (“FAR” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce the outcome of the updated prospective resource estimates following the completion of internal technical studies.

The new assessment of the prospective resources, on an un-risked, best-estimate basis, concludes that approximately seven billion barrels of hydrocarbon resources (5.4 billion barrels attributable to FAR) could be contained within just two of FAR’s offshore African oil exploration permits.

FAR managing director, Cath Norman, said, “The prospective resources that have now been identified in our Senegalese and Kenya L6 projects are much larger than we originally assessed.

There has been no oil and gas drilling off the Senegal coast for over 40 years and none in this Kenyan block for 20 years. We are confident of introducing a world class partner into both of these project areas. Modern seismic data and other new technologies clearly indicate very strong potential in these areas and we are aiming to drill in these blocks before year end”. [Read more →]

Here is the latest updated drilling report for  Senex Energy. The full report can be seen on the ASX website.

Senex Energy Limited (ASX:SXY, Senex) has commenced a large scale fracture stimulation program on its unconventional gas exploration wells in the South Australian Cooper Basin, beginning with Skipton-1 in PEL 516 (Senex 100%). The five well program aims to delineate unconventional gas resources in several Senex permits in the southern and northern South Australian Cooper Basin.

Senex has successfully drilled three new dedicated unconventional gas exploration wells in its southern permits (Skipton-1, Kingston Rule-1, and Talaq-1). A fourth well, Paning-2 in the northern Cooper Basin, has successfully been drilled and is currently being cased. Senex observed significant zones of net gas pay within all of these wells.

This program involves fracture stimulation and flow testing of these wells, along with the existing Hornet-1 well which flowed gas to surface during drilling in 2004. Senex expects this program will provide information on post-fracture production rates and detailed information to allow the refinement of fracture stimulation design within tight gas sands, shales and deep coals in the Cooper Basin.
