Multiple Significant New Oil Leads Identified in Peruvian TEA

Condor Energy Ltd (ASX: CND) (Condor or the Company) is pleased to provide an update on its evaluation work on the oil and gas potential of its 4,858km2 Technical Evaluation Agreement (TEA or Block) offshore Peru.


Highlights

  • Significant new oil targets identified from fast-track interpretation of the 3,800km2 of legacy 3D seismic data
  • Recently completed field work mapped Zorritos Formation reservoir fairways (the primary reservoir objective) into the Tumbes TEA
  • A series of prospective leads have been mapped within these anticipated reservoir fairways located above Heath Formation source rocks at peak oil maturity
  • Salmon Lead within this new trend has stacked structural traps with some potential Direct Hydrocarbon Indicators (DHIs)
  • The structural configuration of the Salmon Lead is repeated several times, presenting the possibility of multiple follow-on targets in the event of success

As a result of the Company’s fast-track interpretation of the 3,800km2 of legacy 3D seismic data, the Company has identified significant new oil targets which highlights the potential for additional discoveries in the Block (Figure 1). Condor has completed a comprehensive assessment of the Salmon Lead.

Figure 1 – Perspective view of the Zorritos Unconformity. The Salmon Lead at this level has two separate closures (A&B) and additional leads (C-G) have also been identified. The green arrows show inferred oil migration pathways into the traps.

Figure 2 – Maturation map showing expected Vitrinite Reflectance (%) in the middle of the Heath Formation. The peak oilgeneration zone corresponds to a range in vitrinite reflectance between 0.8 and 1.2% shown in green.

The Salmon Lead is a structural target in the basin centre located mid way between the previously identified Raya and Bonito Prospects (Figures 2 and 3).

Oil Price and Inflation: What’s the Correlation?

When oil prices plunged to four-year lows this year, many analysts immediately turned to the inflation narrative, dusting off the long-held belief that where oil prices go, inflation follows.

But this time, the correlation isn't as straightforward.

Brent crude fell to US$58.62 per barrel and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) to US$55.38 in early April of 2025, marking a sharp decline of over 21 percent since January. The slump was driven by a mix of soft global demand, US–China trade tensions, and an unexpected about-face by OPEC+ to increase output after previously committing to production cuts.

The downturn marked a significant shift in sentiment from earlier in Q1, when prices rallied on geopolitical jitters and hopes of tighter supply.

Top 5 Canadian Mining Stocks This Week: TAG Oil Posts 76 Percent Gain

Welcome to the Investing News Network's weekly look at the best-performing Canadian mining stocks on the TSX, TSXV and CSE, starting with a round-up of Canadian and US news impacting the resource sector.

South of the border, cooling rhetoric from the Trump administration led a relatively quiet news week.

Markets were volatile at the start of the week, however, after US President Donald Trump suggested on April 17 that Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s “termination couldn’t come fast enough.” The president softened his stance on Tuesday (April 22), saying he has no intention of firing the head of the US central bank, but called him a “major loser.”
