Spudding of the second well in the
Shenandoah South Pilot Project, Shenandoah S2-4H
25 November 2024 – Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd.
(TSXV: FO, AIM: FOG) is pleased to announce the spudding of the
Shenandoah S2-4H (“SS4H”) horizontal well
(previously referred to as the SS3H well) in exploration permit 98
in the Beetaloo Sub-basin, Northern Territory, Australia with
Falcon Oil & Gas Australia Limited’s (“Falcon
Australia”) joint venture partner, Tamboran (B2) Pty
Limited (“Tamboran B2”).
SS4H is the second well of the Shenandoah South
Pilot Project and will be drilled from the same well pad as the
Shenandoah S2-2H ST1 sidetrack well (“SS2H ST1”) using the H&P
super-spec FlexRig® Flex 3 Rig.
The SS4H well is estimated to be drilled to a
total measured depth of 20,669 feet (6,300 metres) including a
horizontal section of approximately 10,000 feet, (3,000 metres),
targeting the Amungee Member B-shale.
Following the drilling of the SS4H well, Liberty
Energy will complete the stimulation of the SS2H ST1 and SS4H
wells, with 34 and 60 stages planned at the respective wells.
Stimulation of both wells is expected to commence in Q1 2025 with
30 day initial production flow rates expected in the same
period.
Falcon Australia will continue its participation
in the Shenandoah South Pilot Project at its elected participating
interest of 5%.
Philip O’Quigley, CEO of Falcon
commented:
“The spudding of the SS4H horizontal well is an exciting
next step in the development of the Beetaloo Sub-basin and we will
look forward to updating the market as operations progress.”
Ends.

negative of those terms or similar words suggesting future
outcomes. In particular, forward-looking information in this press
release includes, but is not limited to, information relating to
the drilling the SS4H well to a total measured depth of 6,300
metres and the planned 10,000 foot (3,000 metre) horizontal
section, the stimulation program following the drilling of the SS4H
well, targeting the Amungee Member B-shale; the wells being

This information is based on current
expectations that are subject to significant risks and
uncertainties that are difficult to predict. The risks, assumptions
and other factors that could influence actual results include risks
associated with fluctuations in market prices for shale gas; risks
related to the exploration, development and production of shale gas
reserves; general economic, market and business conditions;
substantial capital requirements; uncertainties inherent in
estimating quantities of reserves and resources; extent of, and
cost of compliance with, government laws and regulations and the
effect of changes in such laws and regulations; the need to obtain
regulatory approvals before development commences; environmental
risks and hazards and the cost of compliance with environmental
regulations; aboriginal claims; inherent risks and hazards with
operations such as mechanical or pipe failure, cratering and other
dangerous conditions; potential cost overruns, drilling wells is
speculative, often involving significant costs that may be more
than estimated and may not result in any discoveries; variations in
foreign exchange rates; competition for capital, equipment, new
leases, pipeline capacity and skilled personnel; the failure of the
holder of licenses, leases and permits to meet requirements of
such; changes in royalty regimes; failure to accurately estimate
abandonment and reclamation costs; inaccurate estimates and
assumptions by management and their joint venture partners;
effectiveness of internal controls; the potential lack of available
drilling equipment; failure to obtain or keep key personnel; title
deficiencies; geo-political risks; and risk of litigation.

uncertainties is contained in Falcon’s filings with the Canadian
securities regulators, which filings are available at
www.sedarplus.com, including under "Risk Factors" in the Annual
Information Form.
Any references in this news release to
initial production rates are useful in confirming the presence of
hydrocarbons; however, such rates are not determinative of the
rates at which such wells will continue production and decline
thereafter and are not necessarily indicative of long-term
performance or ultimate recovery. While encouraging, readers are
cautioned not to place reliance on such rates in calculating the
aggregate production for Falcon. Such rates are based on field
estimates and may be based on limited data available at this
time.
