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.

Tracy Shuchart: Energy Demand Exploding — Watching Oil/Gas, Uranium and Grid Stocks

Tracy Shuchart, CEO and founder of Hilltower Resource Advisors, discussed the growing need for all types of energy in the US, saying she's looking for opportunities in oil, natural gas, grid stocks and uranium juniors.

"I think 2025 is going to be a really good year for energy, absolutely," she said. "Not just because of the incoming administration that is very pro-energy and very-pro nuclear as well. But I think with this demand explosion that we're having it's going to be hard to keep ignoring that sector as people have over the last few years."

Looking at oil stocks, Shuchart said those who do their research will be able to find bargains outside the majors.

Trillion Energy Successfully Re-completes Wells in VS Program

Trillion Energy International Inc. (" Trillion " or the "Company ") (CSE: TCF) (OTCQB: TRLEF) (Frankfurt: Z62) is pleased to announce that it has successfully run 2 38 velocity string tubing ("VS") in four existing wells, including three long reach wells on the Akcakoca Platform at the SASB Gas Field, Turkey.

The new tubing operation was conducted to reduce water loading, increase production and overall recovery from the wells. With the new tubing strings, the wells should be able to produce at a lower WHP (well head pressure) for a longer period.

Eric Nuttall: Oil Facing Volatile 2025 — Where I'm Investing, Plus Prices, Supply and Demand

Eric Nuttall, partner and senior portfolio manager at Ninepoint Partners, spoke to the Investing News Network about 2024 oil market trends and what's next for the sector heading into 2025.

While the past year has been tough overall, he believes the biggest challenge is sentiment.

"Nobody's here. Nobody cares. Nobody is aware of any of the bullish potential, because everybody is just focused on the narrative around, '(The market is) awash in oil and we're going to fall to US$60 (per barrel).' Or I even saw US$40 the other day. You've got to try to really tune out the noise," Nuttall explained during the conversation.
