Additional Deeper Targets Identified in Bonito Prospect

Global Oil & Gas Ltd (ASX:GLV) (Global or the Company) is pleased to provide an update on exploration activities on its (80% held) 4,585km2 Tumbes Basin Technical Evaluation Agreement (TEA or block) offshore Peru.


Highlights

  • Additional deeper stacked targets identified in the proven oil-bearing Zorritos Formation represents significant upside for the Bonito Prospect
  • Deeper targets proven in adjacent producing oil fields evident on seismic data at Bonito
  • Reprocessing of 3D seismic data over Bonito area is well advanced
  • Prospective Resource estimates will incorporate reprocessed seismic data and deeper targets

The block incorporates over 3,800km2 of existing 3D seismic data which the Company is currently reviewing; with an aggregate of 1,000km2 currently prioritised and undergoing reprocessing and interpretation across three discrete highly prospective areas (one of which includes the Bonito Prospect) (see Figure 2). Reprocessing will include pre-stack depth migration (PSDM) work across each of the three areas.

The Bonito Prospect was first identified in the early 2000s. Previous Operators focussed exclusively on the Upper Zorritos reservoir demonstrating that it had potential to contain significant hydrocarbon volumes.

However, deeper Zorritos Formation reservoirs have also been identified and proven in discoveries and other wells drilled in the Tumbes Basin, as demonstrated by production from the Lower Zorritos Formation in the Albacora field, as well as pay zones identified in the Delfin discovery and non-pay reservoirs identified in the Piedra Redonda gas field (Figure 3). Further, intra-formational seals identified within the Zorritos Formation in the Delfin discovery, suggest that the Lower Zorritos levels possess genuine potential as independent targets.

At the Upper Zorritos level the faulted three-way dip closure trapping geometry at Bonito measures 76km2 with approximately 300m of vertical relief. Should the lower Zorritos levels prove viable, the additional vertical relief of the stacked reservoirs could be substantial.

Seismic reprocessing of the Bonito area (250km2) is well underway and will result in improvements in data quality that will facilitate precise depth mapping and enhance lithology and fluid discrimination.

It is anticipated that a Prospective Resource estimate for the Bonito Prospect incorporating the reprocessed seismic data and the newly identified deeper targets will be released once completed and additional work undertaken to mature Bonito to drill-ready status.

Green Hydrogen Market Projected To Reach $30 Billion By 2030, Growing At 61.1% CAGR From 2023 To 2030

FN Media Group News Commentary - The green hydrogen market is experiencing rapid growth, driven by global efforts to reduce carbon emissions and advancements in electrolysis and renewables. Government support through policies and investments is also boosting growth. Its versatility and scalability make green hydrogen a key player in the transition to sustainable energy. The market is even being propelled by its increasing use in fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) and high-energy-intensive industries like steel and ammonia production, further driving demand and market expansion. A report from MarketsAndMarkets said: "The green hydrogen market was valued at USD 1.1 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD $30.6 Billion by 2030, growing at 61.1% CAGR from 2023 to 2030." The report said: "Hydrogen's versatility has expanded beyond its traditional role in fuel cells for electric vehicles, now encompassing the production of alternative fuels like ammonia, methanol, and synthetic liquids. These energy carriers are gaining prominence and are poised to drive future demand. In developing economies, green hydrogen presents a pathway to a low-carbon future, offering a nearly carbon-free fuel option for marine transportation, hydrogen fuel cells in electric vehicles (EVs), and industrial backup power. The diverse array of applications positions the green hydrogen sector as a lucrative venture with significant growth potential. The market for green hydrogen in vehicle fuel cells is rapidly evolving, providing the convenience of fossil fuels without the associated emissions." Active companies in the markets this week include Charbone Hydrogen Corporation (OTCQB: CHHYF) (TSXV: CH), Bloom Energy (NYSE: BE), NANO Nuclear Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: NNE), Plug Power Inc. (NASDAQ: PLUG), FuelCell Energy, Inc . (NASDAQ: FCEL).

From Fossil Fuels to Renewables: How the Energy Transition is Transforming the Oil and Gas Industry

The oil and gas sector has long been one of the Earth's largest and most valuable industries, but it's undergoing major changes to compete in the green energy transition and remain profitable.

At last year's COP28 summit, nations signaled a definitive shift away from fossil fuels, marking a potential "beginning of the end" for the era. While ambitious, the reality is more complex. Oil and gas aren't disappearing anytime soon — in fact, the industry is projected to rake in revenue of US$5.3 trillion in 2024, with daily consumption of 103 million barrels.

Indeed, petroleum remains the lifeblood of transportation systems, powering billions of vehicles, while natural gas heats a significant portion of the world's homes. At the same time, the industry's substantial environmental impact — accounting for 15 percent of energy-related emissions on a worldwide scale — cannot be ignored.
