Annual Report to Shareholders
Melbourne, Sep 30, 2020 AEST (ABN Newswire) - Vintage Energy Limited (
ASX:VEN) present the report together with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2020 and the Independent Audit Report.
Significant changes in the state of affairs
Two discoveries were made during the year - natural gas at the Vali-1 ST1 well, in the ATP 2021 permit of the Cooper and Eromanga Basins, and CO2, at the Nangwarry-1 well, in the PEL 155 permit, onshore Otway Basin.
Both discoveries have the potential to be on production once appropriate test work and infrastructure connection is approved and completed.
The Company also raised $3,000,000 ($2,250,000 from a share placement and $750,000 from a Share Purchase Plan), the funds from which were primarily used to fracture stimulate and flow test the Vali-1 ST1 gas discovery.
Subsequent events
Fracture stimulation of the Vali-1 ST1 well over six stages was completed, with five stages in the Patchawarra Formation and one in the deeper Tirrawarra Sandstone.
Successful flow testing of the Vali-1 ST1 well delivered a stabilised raw gas rate, over a two-day period, of 4.3 MMscfd through a 36/64" choke at 942 psi (flowing well-head pressure).
A development concept for the Vali Field was completed and estimates a field life of around 20 years.
A recoverable CO2 booking for the Nangwarry-1 discovery was made, with a gross Best Case of 25.1 Bcf recoverable CO2 estimated by ERCE.
On 9 July 2020, the Company issued 10,694,444 shares to Directors at $0.036 per share, as part of the share capital placement announced on 30 April 2020.
