Highlights
• 718 barrels of Kiwi condensate sold to a local refinery
• Total sale value A$59,000 with funds expected in March
• The Kiwi asset is progressing with a clear path to market emerging
Bass Oil Limited (ASX:BAS) (“Bass” or the “Company”) is pleased to advise that it has completed the sale of 718
barrels of Kiwi condensate that was produced as part of the recent production test to a local refinery. The
total sale value of the condensate was $59,000 with funds to be received in March.
The well was flow-tested in August 2024 and recorded a maximum production rate limited by surface
constraints, of 4.1 million cubic feet per day along with 988 barrels of condensate per day at a 1585 psi flowing
wellhead pressure.
Managing Director, Tino Guglielmo commented:
“The condensate sale is another step on our path to market for the Kiwi gas field with multiple parties
expressing an interest in purchasing the product. The Kiwi asset has surpassed our expectations,
making it a cornerstone asset in our portfolio. The combination of significant gas volumes,
substantial liquids content, and promising exploration upside across the Triassic Gas Play solidifies
Kiwi’s role in our growth strategy. We remain committed to maximizing its value to shareholders
and becoming a reliable supplier to the east coast gas market.”
Kiwi Gas Field – 100% Bass Owned Cooper Basin gas discovery
Kiwi 1 well was drilled in 2003 as an exploration well, resulting in a Triassic age, Callamurra Member gas
discovery. A mapping project utilising 3D seismic data has indicated the possible presence of a larger
stratigraphic trap and has resulted in an increased best estimate Contingent Resource (2C) at Kiwi of 3.6 BCF
with 416,000 barrels of condensate, a high estimate Contingent Resource (3C) of 11.5 BCF with 1,525,000
barrels of condensate and a low estimate Contingent Resource (1C) of 1.1 BCF with 155,000 barrels of
condensate.
The results from recent screening economics for the development of the Kiwi gas discovery outlined in ASX
announcement on 8 November 2024, demonstrate the significant value of the asset. The best estimate
contingent resource case (2C) Net Present Value (NPV) has been calculated at ~A$24.0 million with the
potential to more than double Bass's reserves.
Recently announced on 10 February 2025, BAS is to undertake a study to quantify the significant gas potential
that has been identified in the Triassic zone in the northern Cooper Basin by the recent gas test at Kiwi and
previous exploration success in the area. The Kiwi asset alone is a transformative opportunity for Bass, with
future development poised to unlock substantial value.
