Strike Oil vom Explorer zum Produzenten

permanent
Ich habe mich für Strike Oil als Neuinvestment entschieden, weil ich meine Ölwerte geographisch breiter streuen will und Strike Oil für sehr aussichtsreich halte, zudem haben sie noch sehr interessante Liegenschaften in den USA, die bei erfolgreicher Exploration für zusätzlichen Kursschub sorgen dürften.
Bei Strike Oil kam bis jetzt kaum eine Empfehlung, was sich meines erachtens bald ändern wird.
12 New 2006 Wells To Be Drilled - All Adjoin ACOR's 41.5% WI PEL 112 - The 1st Three (3) Wells of 12 Wells Strike Oil - Avg 100% Success - 5th Well Delray-1 Spuds
Australian-Canadian Oil Royalties Ltd. (herein called ACOR) (OTCBB:AUCAF) is pleased to announce that the operator advises that the 5th well of the 12 wells to be drilled has spudded. The Delray-1 well adjoins ACOR's PEL 112 to the east. The Delray-1 well will target the Namur Formation, with estimated reserves of approximately 3 million barrels of oil. The 4th well, the Silver Sands-1 well spudded on Friday, the Silver Sands-1 well adjoins ACOR's PEL 112 to the north. The Silver Sands-1 a near-field exploration well located approximately 1.5km to the southeast of the Christies oil field and is targeting the Namur and Birkhead/Hutton oil reservoirs, with the Poolowanna as a secondary target. Both wells are expected to take approximately 14 days to drill and test.
The operator on the adjoining area to the north of ACOR's PEL 112 advises that the Christie-5 well will be cased and suspended after encountering oil pay in the Birkhead and Namur Formation with an initial potential of 403 BOPD. DST-1 across the interval 1,626m to 1,636m in the Birkhead Formation, resulting in a flow of 85 BOPD of oil through a 1/4" choke. DST-2 was run across the interval 1,377m to 1,382.5m in the Mid Namur reservoir, resulting in a flow of 318 BOPD of oil through a 1/4" choke. Christies-5 has successfully extended the northwest extent of the Birkhead/Hutton oil pool in the prolific Cooper/Eromanga basin discovered in July 2003. Christies-5 is located in the approx. 200 meters northwest of Christies-1 and 300 meters north of Christies-2.
The Christies-4 well was cased and suspended after encountering oil pay in the Hutton and Namur Sandstone. DST 1 was a misrun, the results of DST 2 conducted on March 24th was an initial potential of 653 BOPD.
The Christies Oil Field has confirmed that the oil entrapment model for the southern Queensland flank, like the Tintaburra/Mulberry Oil Field on ACOR's ORRI under ATP-299 is applicable in the area of ACOR's PEL 112. The Christies structure appears to be fully charged, with oil now proven in various stacked reservoirs. The drilling of Christies-2 and Christies-3 has resulted in two new pool discoveries within the Namur Sandstone, as well as improved reservoir potential within the main reservoir, the Birkhead Formation and Hutton Sandstone. Each of the zones tested gave good oil flows. The wells had initial potentials of 3600 BOPD on clean up flow from the Namur Formation.
The current production on the adjoining area to the north, not counting the new Christies-4&Christies-5 wells is averaging a reported $33,000,000 a year gross on the adjoining block to the north of PEL 112.
The Worrior-4 was drilled on March 17, 2006 and was completed as an oil producer; the well adjoins PEL 112 to the east. The Worrior-4 has been tied into the Worrior Oil Field facilities. The initial 18 hour rate of the Worrior-4 was reported at 1,660 BOPD from the McKinlay formation. Worrior-4 encountered oil bearing reservoirs in the McKinlay and Birkhead Formations as expected.
The current production on the adjoining area to the east, not counting the new Worrior-4 well is averaging a reported $75,000,000 a year. The wells are approximately 6,000 feet deep and cost around $1.5 million dollars to drill and complete.
Why are we talking about the Wells that adjoin ACOR's PEL 112?
Take the smallest of the recent discoveries and multiply (x) it by $70.00 per barrel, current market price of crude oil times (x) 30 days, times (x) 12 months and apply it to ACOR's PEL 112 (x) 41.5% Working Interest and see the results for yourself. Now do the same with the largest discovery that adjoins ACOR's PEL 112.
Smallest Discovery so far, Christies-5 IP403 BOPD
Largest Discovery so far, Warrior-4 IP1,660 BOPD
Now you can see why ACOR management is so excited about all the drilling activity that is going on adjoining ACOR's PEL 112 to the north and east. In our opinion, any one of the recent discoveries from the smallest to the largest could be a possible "Company-Maker" discovery for our company, if discovered on PEL 112.
This is some of the most profitable production in onshore Australia, and ACOR is in the middle of it.
ABOUT PEL 112
ACOR has invested approximately 5 years of time and several million dollars on PEL's 112, 108,&109.
PEL 112 covers 818,904 acres and has never been drilled on (no dry holes) and is located in the Cooper/Eromanga Basin of South Australia. ACOR has just completed a new seismic survey on PEL 112 at a cost of approximately $1,100,000. The new seismic survey has discovered two large seismograph highs as well as 28 smaller ones. The two large seismograph highs are called C-23&C-26, which cover a combined area of approx. 5,534 acres with excellent closure.
ACOR is currently getting drilling bids for the 2 best drilling locations identified by seismic. The drilling locations for C-23 & C-26 have now been staked and the photos of the locations are available on our website.
ACOR owns 41.5% WI under PEL's 108, 109,&112.

GOLDINVEST-Kolumne: Die Australier erobern Texas
Peter Allchurch wurde durch den Erfolg von Amity Oil bekannt. Das Unternehmen wurde 2004 von einem größeren Konkurrenten übernommen. Danach baute er mit den Platin Konzern Platinum auf. Doch den Öl- und Gasexperten ließ die Liebe zu seiner alten Branche nicht los. Als Gründer und heute Berater eines australischen aufstrebenden Unternehmens, das in den USA Großes vorhat, kann er nochmals seine Passion ausleben. Bei Aurora Oil & Gas Limited handelt es sich um ein australisches Unternehmen, das in Nueces County, Texas nach Öl und Gas sucht. Die Gesellschaft erwarb ein drittes großes Projekt in Texas, das ihr in den nächsten drei Jahren einen enormen Produktionszuwachs bescheren könnte. Weit mehr als zehn Millionen Kubikfuß Gas pro Tag könnten es werden.
Aurora Oil & Gas besitzt drei Hauptexplorationsgebiete in Texas. Am Flour Bluff Gas Development Projekt hält das Unternehmen einen Anteil von 22,78 Prozent, am West Black Lake Projekt ist Aurora mit 20,15 Prozent beteiligt und am Sugarloaf Hosston Projekt ist sie mit 12,5 Prozent beteiligt. Aurora wurde im Dezember 2004 ins Leben gerufen.
Das Flour Bluff Projekt befindet sich nahe Corpus Christi in Südtexas. Im Dezember 2004 gehörten Aurora erst 12,5 Prozent. Mehrmals erwarb sie weitere Anteile und investierte dafür insgesamt 6,25 Millionen US Dollar. In den Vierziger Jahren wurden dort erstmalig die Bodenschätze entdeckt. Seit 1964 wurden dort 640 Milliarden Kubikfuß Gas und 32 Millionen Barrel Rohölprodukte gefördert.
Eine neueste Studie über die noch im Boden schlummernden Reserven ergab Folgendes: 88 Milliarden Kubikfuß Gas und 1,7 Millionen Barrel Öl warten auf Exploration. Darüber hinaus liegen zusätzlich noch 102 Milliarden Kubikfuß Gas und 1,8 Millionen Barrel Öl als Ressourcen vor. Die aktuelle Produktion beträgt derzeit 2,8 Millionen Kubikfuß Gas und 50 Barrel Öl pro Tag. Ende 2005 wurden Instandhaltungsarbeiten vorgenommen und der Aufbau von neuen Quellen in Angriff genommen. Sobald Aurora das Programm beendet hat, dürften es wieder 6 Millionen Kubikfuß pro Tag werden. Damit ist jedoch noch nicht Schluss, denn weitere Erweiterungsarbeiten sollten die Produktion bis 2008 auf 30 Millionen Kubikfuß steigen lassen. Der Anteil von Aurora davon beträgt gemäß den Beteiligungsverhältnissen knapp 7 Millionen Kubikfuß pro Tag. Die reinen Förderkosten dürften dabei leicht von 4,60 Dollar auf 4,40 Dollar je 1000 Kubikfuß sinken.
Das West Black Lake Projekt ist vom Ressourcenpotenzial her gesehen deutlich größer als das Flour Bluff Projekt. Geologen gehen von bis zu 600 Milliarden Kubikfuß Gas aus. Jedoch es ist nicht so einfach schnell eine größere Produktion aufzubauen. Die ersten angebohrten Quellen dürften nur etwa ein Zwanzigstel der gesamten Ressourcen als Ziel haben. Ab 2007 dürfte die Produktion starten. Dann dürften etwa 5 Millionen Kubikfuß am Tag strömen. Bis 2009 soll die Produktion auf knapp 15 Millionen Kubikfuß pro Tag erhöht werden. Der Aurora Anteil daran beträgt gemäß dem Beteiligungsverhältnis 3 Millionen Kubikfuß Gas pro Tag.
100 Kilometer nördlich von Flour Bluff liegt das Sugarloaf Hosston Projekt. Dort haben die Aurora Experten ein 80 Quadratkilometer großes Gebiet ausgemacht, in dem potenzielle Ressourcen von 800 Milliarden Kubikfuß Gas enthalten sein dürften. Das Problem ist die Tiefe, in der das Gas schlummert. Die Löcher müssen rund 6 Kilometer tief in den Boden gebohrt werden. Für April war eine erste Bohrung vorgesehen, die rund 6 Millionen US Dollar verschlingen wird. Sollte diese erfolgreich sein, kann Aurora an die Ausbeutung des Felds herangehen.
Läuft alles nach Plan, dann sollte der Umsatz im laufenden Geschäftsjahr 2005/2006 (Ende Juni) von 900.000 australischen Dollar auf vier Millionen ansteigen. Sobald die nächsten Gasquellen in Produktion gehen, sollte der Umsatz 2006/2007 auf 25 Millionen und 2007/2008 auf 48 Millionen A-Dollar ansteigen. Die Gewinnzone sollte Aurora 2006/2007 erreichen. 2007/2008 dürfte der Gewinn je Aktie bereits knapp 10 australische Cent betragen. Das Kurs-Gewinn-Verhältnis darauf bezogen ist nach Adam Riese weniger als fünf. Die Aurora Oil & Gas Aktie (ISIN: AU000000AUT1 / WPKN: A0EAH7) dürfte also langfristig einiges an Potenzial haben.

12 Wells to Be Drilled -- All Adjoin ACOR's 41.5% WI PEL 112 -- 1st Five (5) Wells of 12 Wells Strike Oil -- Avg 100% Success -- Sellicks-2 IP 2700 BOPD -- New Pool Discovery
Australian-Canadian Oil Royalties Ltd. (herein called ACOR) (OTCBB:AUCAF) reports that the operator has announced that the Sellicks-2 well has struck oil in a new oil pool. The DST 1A conducted early this morning over the Poolowanna Formation interval 1984-2007 meters resulted in a flow of oil to surface in 13 minutes. A preliminary rate of 2250-2700 barrels of oil/day was achieved. The Sellicks-2 well adjoins ACOR's PEL 112 to the north. The Sellicks-2 is an appraisal well in Sellicks Oilfield in the Eromanga Basin, South Australia, spudded on May 11.
This is a new pool oil discovery within the Sellicks Field, which has, to date, produced oil only from the deeper Patchawarra Formation. Sellicks-2 is the first of two appraisal wells based upon 3-D seismic that was designed to optimize field development. Sellicks-2 will now drill ahead to evaluate the Patchawarra Formation primary target, which is expected to be reached tomorrow.
Since its discovery in July 2003 the Sellicks-1 has produced more than 250,000 barrels of oil or $17,500,000, using $70.00 per barrel oil and continues to produce strongly. However, new 3-D seismic mapping suggests that the discovery well may not be optimally located on the field, and the two appraisal wells are designed to test the potential for undrained oil updip and offset from Sellicks-1. Both wells will be deviated from a single well site located adjacent to the established field facility. The bottom-hole target for Sellicks-2 is located approximately 120 meters to the south of Sellicks-1. It has a planned total depth of 2,147 meters.
All the wells mentioned in this press release adjoin ACOR's 41.5% working interest PEL 112 to the north and to the east.
Silver Sands-1 well came in with an initial potential of 1062 BOPD
Christies-1 well came in with an initial potential of 500 BOPD
Christies-2 well came in with an initial potential of 1960 BOPD
Christies-3 well came in with an initial potential of 2400 BOPD

Why are we talking about the Wells that adjoin ACOR's PEL 112?
Take the smallest of the recent discoveries (276 BOPD) and multiply (x) it by $70.00 per barrel, current market price of crude oil times (x) 30 days, times (x) 12 months and apply it to times (x) ACOR's PEL 112 41.5% Working Interest and see the results for yourself.

Current daily sales from Strike Oil’s Mesquite Project on the Gulf Coast of Texas continue in the 12 to 13 million cubic feet of gas and 250 to 275 barrels of oil condensate. This represents net revenues to Strike Oil in the range of AUD$23,000 to $25,000 per day.
The company expects that the level of sales will increase once the Webernick 1 well is fully tested and on full production and with success at the Webernick 2 well, which is currently being drilled.
Strike said that progress with the two Webernick wells has been slower than expected for operational reasons, however, further testing at the Webernick 1 well is now due to recommence once the company is aware of the Webernick 2 well results.
The company is also progressing with securing additional leases on new, high upside, prospects on trend with the Mesquite Project in Jackson, Wharton and Fort Bend Counties.
The order of 5,000 acres has been leased or is under negotiation on several of these prospects in preparation for drilling later in 2006 and into 2007.

DRILLING PROGRAM UPDATE
Strike Oil announces the following drilling program update.
Mesquite Project, Texas
The first 4 wells on the Mesquite Project have now been drilled and the drilling rig released. Of these four wells two of them are on production, (Shefcik 1 and 3) one is waiting further testing and on partial production (Webernick 1) and the final well is waiting testing (Webernick 2). Once these final two wells are tested and on full production this will add to the production in the field which is currently around 12 million cubic feet of gas per day and 200 barrels of oil condensate per day.
Technical evaluation is underway to integrate the results of the 4 Mesquite wells to design optimally the perforating, fraccing and testing of the multiple interpreted gas pay zones in the Webernick 1 and 2 wells. This testing is expected to take place over the next 1 to 2 months.
Forward Drilling Program
Drilling is scheduled to resume in the Texas Gulf Coast in September this year. Drilling on the Mesquite Project will await the results of the current testing of the Webernick 1 and 2 wells and the overall evaluation of the 4 wells now drilled including production history analysis. Further drilling on new prospects is scheduled for later in 3rd quarter 2006.
Prior to the Texas Gulf Coast drilling resuming the next drilling in the United States is schedule to commence in July at the Tow Creek and Bear River projects in Colorado. These will be oil evaluation wells drilled into existing historical oilfields. Any success here will be brought onto production rapidly to take advantage of the high oil prices.
In both Australia and the United States we are continuing to prepare for the drilling of some significant size oil and gas prospects with potential the order of 10 to 50 million barrels of oil and 30 to 200 billion cubic feet of gas. The first of these larger sized prospects is scheduled to be drilled as early as September 2006.
Further information will be released as the respective drilling timing becomes more definite.
Future Operational Reporting
Regular drilling and operational reports will recommence when the drilling program resumes and from now on reports will be made as needed.
Yours faithfully
