Petsec Announces Completion of Hummer Platform Jacket

Sydney, July 26, 2016 AEST (ABN Newswire) - Petsec Energy Ltd (googlechartASX:PSA) (googlechartPSJEY:OTCMKTS) is pleased to advise that fabrication of the platform jacket for the Hummer Development Project has been completed. The platform jacket is a 4 pile, 3 slot structure designed to be installed in water depth of 215 feet over the Main Pass Block 270 #3 Hummer discovery well, which was drilled in late 2015. Installation of the platform jacket is planned for mid-August 2016.

Following jacket installation, a rig is scheduled to arrive on location to undertake the next phase of development which is to tie back the subsea suspended #3 well to the jacket and complete and test the well. It is anticipated that test results will be available in September or early October 2016.

Following testing results, the well will be suspended for future production while the platform deck, facilities and pipelines are fabricated and installed. Current estimates for first production are mid-year 2017.

The Hummer Development Project covers an area that includes portions of 3 Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) lease blocks - Main Pass Blocks 270, 273 and 274.
