Managing Director, Tino Guglielmo commented:
“We are pleased to announce that we are about to achieve a key milestone towards commencing
Kiwi-1’s Extended Production Test (EPT) following initial weather-related delays. A successful test at
Kiwi represents an ideal opportunity for Bass to enter the Australian east coast gas market in a
period with forecasted gas shortages and be highly value accretive to the Company.”
Kiwi 1 EPT Background
Kiwi 1 was drilled in 2003 as an exploration well, resulting in a Triassic age, Callamurra Member gas
discovery which flow tested at 9.6 million cubic feet per day on drill stem test. Bass has interpreted
a 3D seismic survey over the area and upgraded the potential size of Kiwi discovery to a mean
Contingent Resource of 5.24 BCF and a 3C Contingent Resource of 11.5 BCF.
The Company has also identified other prospects and leads on trend with the Kiwi that, as a result
of a successful test of this well, may be significantly upgraded.
This announcement has been authorised for release by the Board of Directors of Bass Oil Limited.
