Commencement of 3D Seismic Reprocessing at the First of Three Major Prospect Areas

Global Oil & Gas Limited (ASX: GLV) (Global or Company) is pleased to provide a further update on its 4,585km2 Tumbes Basin Technical Evaluation Agreement (TEA or block) offshore Peru. The block comprises over 3,800km2 of existing 3D seismic data and more than 7,000km of 2D seismic.


Highlights

  • Commencement of seismic reprocessing targeting the extensive Bonito and Volador prospects in the southern portion of the Company’s 4,585km2 offshore Peru oil and gas block
  • The Bonito and Volador prospect area is the first of three prospective areas to be reprocessed – a total of at least 1,000km2 of 3D seismic is to be reprocessed
  • Reprocessing expected to enhance structure mapping, improve lithology and fluid discrimination and allow for the estimation of prospective resources and progress through to drill ready targets

The Company propose to reprocess a total of approximately 1,000km2 of 3D seismic data across three discrete highly prospective areas within the offshore block. The first prospective area to be reprocessed is a 250km2 area in the southern part of the TEA incorporating the Bonito and the Volador prospects.

From the interpretation of the historically processed data it is clear that both these prospects have the potential to hold significant hydrocarbon volumes. The reprocessing of the 3D seismic data will enable Global to estimate Prospective Resources and progress the prospects to drill ready status.

Bonito Prospect

The Bonito prospect is a large anticlinal feature with 76km2 of closure (Figures 2 and 3) where the Zorritos Formation, the primary reservoir in the basin, is at a depth of c. 2,050m (~1,500m sub-sea).

The Tumbes Basin has a complex geological history related to the forces created by the Pacific Plate colliding with, and being subducted beneath, the South American Plate. Periods of faulting and rapid subsidence are interspersed with periods of compression and uplift thought to be responsible for forming the Bonito structure.

Seismic reprocessing should result in improvements to the data quality that will improve both the accuracy of depth mapping and the ability to discriminate lithology and fluids which would ultimately result in the Company’s ability to estimate the potential volumes of hydrocarbons to be contained, select potential exploration well locations and mature prospects to drill ready status.

ASX Oil and Gas Stocks: 5 Biggest Companies in 2025

Oil and gas are key energy fuels, and ASX-listed Australian oil and gas companies could benefit from their price moves.

For the most part, 2024 was a volatile year for both the oil and gas markets. In the first half of the year, oil prices were riding an uptrend, spurred on by rising tensions in the Middle East amid tightening supply.

However, after prices peaked at US$91.70 per barrel in early April, demand-side challenges weighed oil down, with levels sinking to US$77 in early June. In the second half of the year, oil prices took a hit as global economic uncertainties continued to grow.

By September 10, oil fell to a year-to-date low of US$69.09 as investors anticipated interest rate cuts in the US and the Israel-Hamas war continued to threaten supply chains. Weakness in demand from China also suppressed oil prices. By late December, prices were holding in the US$72.40 range.

Energizing the Future: How Green Hydrogen is Shaping Sustainable Investments

As the world continues to face the challenges of and find solutions to climate change, the hydrogen economy is emerging as a beacon of hope in the area of sustainable energy. This transformative shift is not just reshaping industries; it's opening up exciting avenues for investors keen on aligning their portfolios with a greener future.

Hydrogen, particularly green hydrogen, is taking center stage in the global push towards decarbonization. Unlike its counterparts — blue and grey hydrogen — green hydrogen is produced using renewable energy sources, resulting in zero carbon emissions. This clean energy carrier is poised to play a crucial role in sectors traditionally difficult to decarbonize, such as heavy industry and long-haul transportation.

The numbers speak volumes about hydrogen's potential. Market projections paint an optimistic picture, with the global hydrogen generation market expected to surge from $158.8 billion in 2023 to a staggering $257.9 billion by 2028. More impressively, the green hydrogen market alone could surpass $334.6 billion by 2032. These figures underscore a seismic shift in energy paradigms, with clean hydrogen potentially capturing up to 30 percent of the market share by 2030, up from less than 1 percent today.
