Successful Completion of SS1H Stimulation Program

7 December 2023 - Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd. (TSXV: FO, AIM: FOG) is pleased to announce the completion of the 10-stage stimulation program over a 500 metre horizontal section of the Amungee Member B-Shale within the Shenandoah South 1H (“SS1H”) well in EP117 which is operated by Falcon Oil & Gas Australia Limited’s joint venture partner, Tamboran B2 Pty Limited (“Tamboran”).

Details are as follows:

• The stimulation program at SS1H delivered a proppant intensity of 2,212 pounds per foot (lb/ft) and average proppant injection per stage was 356,000 pounds.
  
  
• The stimulation program achieved rates of 100 barrels per minute (bpm) using slickwater, a first in the Amungee Member B-Shale and in-line with current US shale basin stimulation designs.
  
  
• Tamboran now plans to install production tubing ahead of the SS1H well commencing flow back of stimulation fluid.
  
  
• Commencement of 30-day initial production (IP30) testing in mid-December 2023, subject to timing of gas breakthrough.
  
  
• Current expectations are to release IP30 flow rates in Q1 2024, subject to timing of flow back stimulation fluid and weather conditions.
  
  
• Proof of commercial flow rates as measured over the IP30 day period and which Falcon estimates to be 1.5 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) over the 500 metre horizontal section (3.0 MMcf/d normalised over 1,000 metres) or greater will allow us to progress the sanctioning of the proposed 40 MMcf/d pilot project at Shenandoah South during the first half of 2024.
  
  

Philip O’Quigley, CEO of Falcon commented:

“The stimulation program went extremely well with Tamboran’s operations team achieving injection rates up to 100 bpm, a Beetaloo Sub-Basin rate record, and average proppant injection per stage of 356,000 pounds, in line with the initial design. We look forward to this next phase of operations in the Beetaloo with the installation of production tubing ahead of flow back of stimulation fluid and the commencement of the IP30. We will continue to update the market as results become available.”
