Update re. EP 155 Farmin
Partner
Mosman Oil and Gas Limited (AIM:
MSMN) the helium, hydrogen and hydrocarbon exploration, development
and production company, notes the recent update from Mining
Minerals & Metals plc ("MMM") regarding the proposed
acquisition of Georgina Energy plc ("Georgina"). Georgina's
subsidiary company Westmarket Oil & Gas Pty Ltd is Mosman's
farmin partner in Exploration Permit 155 application. The full text

Background on EP(A)155 Mount Winter
Located in Australia in the Northern
Amadeus Basin between the producing Surprise Oil Field and Mereenie
Oil and Gas Field, EP(A)155 has significant prospectivity for
helium, natural hydrogen and hydrocarbons.
EP(A)155 lies within the highly
prospective Horn Valley Siltstone fairway with proven hydrocarbon
potential as demonstrated by historical wells, Mt Winter-1 &
1A. Exploration data comprises a sparse 2D seismic grid and 2
wells.
Mt Winter-1 was drilled to a depth
of 2,650m reaching TD in the Proterozoic Gillen Fm, above the
helium and hydrogen prospective targets. Hydrocarbons were
encountered in 2 intervals, the Ordovician Stairway Sandstone
(reservoir at Surprise Field) and Proterozoic Jonny's Creek Beds
(reservoir at Ooaramina discovery, northeastern Amadeus Basin). The
well was drilled off structure due to the limited seismic data
available, and re-interpretation of the available data suggests
valid targets at multiple depths down to and including
basement.
Details of the Farmout Agreement
Mosman's subsidiary company Oilco
Limited ("Oilco") is the applicant for the exploration permit 155.
Oilco entered into a Farmout Agreement with Westmarket Oil &
Gas Pty Ltd ("Farminee") on 11 May 2020.
Under the terms of the Farmout, the
Farminee is responsible for obtaining Native Title agreement which
is required before the permit may be granted. The Farminee has
engaged an experienced consultant and discussions continue with the
Central Land Council ("CLC") advising that a meeting will be
arranged.
The other farmin conditions include
Farminee undertaking technical work, specifically:
· Seismic Reprocessing,
· A
Gravity Survey and
· A
Seismic Survey in accordance with the permit work
programme.
Once these conditions are satisfied
the Farminee will earn a 75% working interest and Mosman will
retain a 25% working interest in the permit. Mosman may elect to be
carried for the cost of drilling a well and the Farminee may earn
an additional 15% working interest if the well is successfully
completed as a producer. In this scenario Mosman would retain a 10%
working interest in the permit.
In addition to the forward work
programme obligations set out above, Mosman received A$15,000 from
the Farminee in consideration for past costs and will receive a
further A$15,000 following completion of the required seismic
reprocessing work.
The Farmout Agreement includes termination
rights as follows, both of which are now in effect given the
passage of time:
a. Mosman may
terminate if the farmin work has not been satisified
within 3 years of the Farmout Agreement date
b. Either party may
terminate if the transfer of the Farmin Interest is not registered
within 4 years of the Farmout Agreement date.
