Evidence for Multiple Petroleum Systems Confirms Oil & Gas Plays in Peruvian TEA

Evidence for Multiple Petroleum Systems Confirms Oil & Gas Plays in Peruvian TEA

Condor Energy Ltd (ASX: CND) (Condor or the Company) is pleased to provide an update on exploration progress at its Technical Evaluation Agreement (TEA) offshore Peru where two large oil prospects (Raya and Bonito) have already been identified and regional mapping shows that the primary source rock interval, the Oligocene/Miocene aged Heath Formation, is mature for oil generation over much of the TEA area.


HIGHLIGHTS
  • Maturation mapping shows that at least two source rock intervals are present within the TEA
  • Heath Formation source rocks shown to be oil mature over majority of the TEA
  • Zorritos Formation reservoirs (primary target) have access to oil charge from mature Heath Formation source rocks
  • Piedra Redonda gas field most likely to be charged by deeper source rocks in the Mancora formation
  • Unexplored deep gas play in the TEA identified

Figure 1 – Maturation map showing expected Vitrinite Reflectance (%) in the middle of the Heath Formation. The peak oil generation zone corresponds to a range in vitrinite reflectance between 0.8 and 1.2% shown in green.

The Raya and Bonito prospects are large features in the Zorritos Formation, which present structural closure at multiple levels and the potential for stacked pay with multiple Zorritos reservoir-seal pairs present.

Based on analysis of surface outcrops, cuttings and core samples from previous wells published by Perupetro (the Peruvian national oil regulator), there are numerous potential source rock intervals in the Tumbes Basin.

The Company recently completed an interpretation of the wider regional seismic data which mapped key intervals and confirmed that the Heath Formation (Figure 1) and Mancora Formation likely sit within the maturity window for oil and gas generation respectively.

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.
