Project Peregrine

Multiple independent drill-ready targets in proven petroleum province

Operator | ~100% WI

971 MMBO Unrisked net mean prospective oil resources1,2

  • Project Peregrine acreage was acquired by 88 Energy via an off-market takeover of XCD Energy Ltd in August 2020.
  • Large acreage with multiple, independent, drilling locations exist coupled with completion of Merlin-1 in Q1 2021 and follow up Merlin-2 in Q1 2022, both confirming existence of petroleum system.
  • Merlin-1 exploration and Merlin-2 appraisal indicated:
    – Evidence of hydrocarbons in all 3 primary targets
    – Biomarker analysis consistent with Hue/HRZ type oil
    – Carbon isotope analysis of mud gas and core samples returned vitrinite reflectance values between 0.7 and 1% Ro – proof that Project Peregrine acreage is oil prone.
  • High Resolution Gas Chromatography performed on Merlin-2 side wall cores show, like Merlin-1, definitive evidence of hydrocarbons at Project Peregrine.
  • Independent drill-ready targets remain untested (Harrier-1, Merlin-1A).
  • 2022 independent basin modelling study, coupled with abundant oil shows at Merlin-1 & 2, are encouraging for untested Harrier prospects to the North.
  • The Project Peregrine Nanushuk sequences continue North where they are the target of Conoco Phillip’s Harpoon and Willow drilling programs, the latter of which contains 750-800mmbo recoverable (Conoco, 2018).
  • NPRA is a proven petroleum province – discoveries at Umiat, Willow, Alpine.
  • Anticipated activity North (Conoco’s Harpoon) and West (Armstrong’s Castle West) may provide an opportunity for future cost sharing.

1. Please refer to the ASX release dated 16 August 2021 for full details with respect to the Prospective Resource estimate, associated risking.

2. Cautionary Statement: The estimated quantities of petroleum that may be potentially recovered by the application of a future development project relate to undiscovered accumulations. These estimates have both an associated risk of discovery and a risk of development. Further exploration, appraisal and evaluation are required to determine the existence of a significant quantity of potentially movable hydrocarbons.
