Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd.
("Falcon" or "Company")

Binding Letter of Intent Executed with New Joint Venture Partner

11 October 2022 - Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd. (TSXV: FO, AIM: FOG) is pleased to announce that its c.98% owned subsidiary, Falcon Oil & Gas Australia Limited ("Falcon Australia"), has entered into a binding Letter of Intent ("LOI") with Tamboran (B1) Pty Limited ("Tamboran"), a joint venture between Sheffield Holdings LP and Tamboran Resources Limited, pursuant to which the parties have agreed to amend the terms of the Joint Operating Agreement ("JOA") and the Farm-In Agreement ("FIA"), each dated 2 May 2014 (as amended), entered into with Origin Energy B2 Pty Ltd ("Origin") in respect of Falcon Australia's interest in the Beetaloo Sub-Basin exploration permits.

The Board believes that the proposed amendments to the FIA and JOA will significantly improve Falcon's future capital preservation and optionality. The key terms of the LOI provide for:

  • Falcon Australia to earn an additional carry on future well costs of up to AU$30m (AU$6.75m net to Falcon Australia);
  • the introduction of limited proration units on sole risk operations to a maximum of 6,400 acres per well, providing Falcon Australia with participation optionality on the drilling of future wells;
  • the sharing of well data on any sole risked wells, providing Falcon Australia with visibility on crucial data and analysis even where it elects not to participate; and
  • pre-emptive rights in relation to Origin's divestment of its 77.5% interest in the Beetaloo Sub-basin announced on 19 September 2022 are not to be exercised by Falcon Australia and all pre-emptive and similar rights are to be removed from the JOA, providing Falcon Australia with greater flexibility for realisation of licence interests.

The parties will now proceed to negotiate and agree fully termed amendments to the JOA and the FIA reflecting the terms of the LOI.

Drilling of the first of the two Stage 3 wells will commence shortly with Falcon Australia still benefiting financially from the remainder of the carry under the existing FIA and JOA with Origin.

Philip O'Quigley, Falcon's CEO,commented:

"Falcon Australia welcomes its new JV partners,Sheffield Holdings and Tamboran Resources. While our immediate focus is on the two Stage 3 Amungee wells, we are really excited about the future pace of development of the Beetaloo. The proposed amendments to the FIA and JOA puts Falcon in a very strongposition going forward creating optionality for our shareholders in terms of the level of participation in any future appraisal and development drilling. Each future well drilled in the Beetaloo basin play further de-risks the play and, as a result of the proposed changes contemplated by the LOI, Falcon can tailor its participation tobest preserve its capital while at the same time maximising its optionality."

"Falcon is very pleased that Bryan Sheffield of Sheffield Holdings LP has increased his strategic stake in the Company at this time. Bryan is a highly successful investor and has made significant returns in the US unconventional energy sector in the past. He was Founder of Parsley Energy Inc. ("PE"), an independent unconventional oil and gas producer in the Permian Basin, Texas and previously served as its Chairman and CEO.

PE was acquired for over US$7 billion by Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer"), itself a leading independent oil and gas company and with the PE acquisition became a Permian pure play company. Pioneer has a current market capitalisation of c. US$60 billion."

Bryan Sheffield of Sheffield Holdings LP commented:
''Falcon and its partner have the largest acreage (4.6 million acres) position centred over the Beetaloo Sub-Basin. The Beetaloo is emerging as a world class shale gas basin with stacked pay potential from several shale intervals. Flow tests from the B Shale of the Amungee Member have confirmed a productive dry gas system in place. Geologic and engineering data from test wells across the Sub- basin have similar properties to some of the highly successful shale gas plays in the United States. The Beetaloo Sub-Basin is still in the exploration and appraisal phase, but with continued good well results, Falcon is well positioned to become a key supplier of low carbon energy to Australia and to the world within a few short years. I am delighted to have this opportunity to acquire a significant interest in Falcon and gain exposure to their net 1 million acres in what may become one of the biggest shale plays in the world.''

Mr. Philip O'Quigley reports

FALCON OIL & GAS LTD. - PRELIMINARY PETROPHYSICS AND MUD GAS COMPOSITION FROM VELKERRI 76 S2-1 WELL

Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd. has provided details on the preliminary petrophysical interpretation and mud gas composition data from the Velkerri 76 S2-1 vertical appraisal well in the Beetaloo subbasin, Northern Territory, Australia, with the company's joint venture partner Origin Energy B2 Pty. Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Origin Energy Ltd.

On Oct. 15, 2021, the company announced that drilling of the Velkerri 76 well had been completed and preliminary evaluation of the results had been very encouraging.

The preliminary petrophysical interpretation of the Velkerri-76 wireline logs has now been carried out, which has confirmed positive indications in particular from the B shale of the Amungee member (formerly known as the Middle Velkerri). Other intervals within the Amungee member also show positive indications and further analysis will now be undertaken to confirm these results.

The Amungee member B shale was the principal area of focus with Falcon's operations at Amungee NW-1H and the results obtained to date compare very favourably with some of the most commercially successful shale plays in North America. The Amungee Member B shale is also the focus of activities in the neighbouring Santos and Empire Resources operated blocks.

Mud gas composition data also provides evidence that the Amungee member is within the wet gas maturity window and contains good LPG yields and high heating gas value.

Key information with respect to the preliminary petrophysics and mud gas composition of the Amungee member B shale are included in the attached table.

The results of preliminary petrophysical interpretation confirm: 

  • The prospectivity of the Amungee member B shale.
  • Reservoir quality of the B shale (TOC, porosity and gross thickness) compares strongly with commercial shale plays in the United States.
  • The Velkerri 76 S2-1 well provides yet another robust data point for the joint venture to consider various commercialization options across its permits.

Additional analysis of the conventional core acquired during the drilling of Velkerri 76 will be required to confirm the preliminary petrophysics interpretation and will take place over the coming months.

Laboratory analysis of gas samples collected during drilling will be carried out to further refine gas composition data within the Amungee member shale intervals. 

Philip O'Quigley, chief executive officer of Falcon, commented: "The preliminary petrophysical interpretation of the Velkerri 76 wireline logs is excellent news with the Middle Velkerri B shale comparing favourably to some of the most commercially successful shale plays in North America. These results are further evidence of the increasing significance of the Velkerri play, with results still to come from flow testing of two horizontal wells at the neighbouring Santos-operated blocks also targeting the Velkerri play."

Mr. Philip O'Quigley reports

FALCON OIL & GAS LTD. - AMUNGEE NW-1H - NORMALISED GAS FLOW RATE EQUIVALENT TO 5 MMSCF/D PER 1,000M HORIZONTAL

Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd. has provided results of the production log test at the Amungee NW-1H well. The results suggest a normalized gas flow rate equivalent of between 5.2 million to 5.8 million standard cubic feet per day per 1,000 metres of horizontal section.

Amungee is located in the Beetaloo subbasin, Northern Territory, Australia, and the testing conducted is part of the 2021 work program, which is operated by Falcon's joint venture partner, Origin Energy B2 Pty. Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Origin Energy Ltd.

Amungee background: 

  • It is located in exploration permit 98, approximately 60 kilometres east of Daly Waters, just south of the Carpentaria Highway.
  • It was the first horizontal well to be drilled and first well to be fracked with Falcon's JV partner and operator, Origin.
  • In November, 2015, the JV successfully drilled the well to a total measured depth of 3,808 m, including a 1,100 m horizontal section.
  • In September, 2016, 11 hydraulic stimulation stages were completed along the horizontal section in the Middle Velkerri B shale zone.
  • In December, 2016, a 57-day extended production test (EPT) was completed, with production averaging 1.10 mmscf/d.
  • In February, 2017, the results of evaluation of the discovery and preliminary estimate of petroleum in place were published for the Velkerri B shale gas pool, confirming a gross contingent resource of 6.6 trillion cubic feet, 1.46 trillion cubic feet net to Falcon; full details are contained in Falcon's annual information form. 

Details of Amungee testing: 

  • The well was successfully put back on production testing on Aug. 7, 2021.
  • Initial flow rates during the first 48 hours of testing ranged between two million and four million standard cubic feet per day with rates averaging 1.23 mmscf/d over the first 23 days.
  • A PLT was run on Aug. 19, 2021, to 3,098 metres measured depth, just prior to the casing deformation at 3,112 m md.
  • The PLT data confirm that: Only 5 to 15 per cent of the production came from stages 1 to 7 beyond the casing deformation point at 3,112 m md. Eighty-five to 95 per cent of the production came from stages 8 to 11, spanning a 200 m horizontal section, prior to the casing deformation.
  • The low contribution from stages 1 to 7 is likely the result of a restriction caused by the casing deformation or the plugs having not milled out, or both.
  • Conclusion: Stages 8 to 11 may be representative of the deliverability that can be achieved within the Middle Velkerri B shale at Amungee.
  • The PLT test results equate to a normalized gas flow rate of between 5.2 million and 5.8 million standard cubic feet per day per 1,000 m of horizontal section.
  • A typical future production well would be likely to have a horizontal production section of up to three kilometres.
  • The result validates the decision to undertake a second EPT in order to run a PLT. 

Philip O'Quigley, chief executive officer of Falcon, commented: "With our unique and extensive position in the Beetaloo subbasin, this is really exciting news for Falcon shareholders and this significant development provides line of sight to the commercialization of the Beetaloo, for which we remain carried for further activity.

"A recent report by an industry analyst suggests that gas flows greater than three mmscf/d from a 1,000 m horizontal well are required to demonstrate the commerciality of the Beetaloo. Not only does this test result significantly exceed these parameters and significantly increase our assessment of the Velkerri dry gas play, but it also puts the Beetaloo on a par with other shale gas basins in North America.

"While we wait for further news from our operations at Kyalla 117 N2-1H ST2 and Velkerri 76 S2-1, we look forward to working with our JV partner, Origin, in establishing the next phase of work on the Middle Velkerri B shale.

"With other drilling activity in neighbouring Santos-operated blocks targeting the Velkerri dry gas play, this is an important moment for the nationally significant Beetaloo subbasin."
