Technical Evaluation Agreement (TEA) LXXXVI - Offshore Oil and Gas Block (GLV 80% Working Interest)
During the March 2024 quarter, Global and US-based joint venture partner Jaguar Exploration Limited (Jaguar), continued the evaluation of their 4,585km2 Technical Evaluation Agreement (TEA or block) offshore Peru.
The block comprises over 3,800km2 of existing 3D seismic data and more than 7,000 line kilometres of 2D seismic. An aggregate of 1,000km2 of 3D seismic was selected during the quarter to undergo reprocessing and interpretation across three discrete highly prospective areas. Reprocessing will include pre-stack depth migration (PSDM) work across each of the three areas (Figure 2).

The areas were selected following a review of the seismic data and other historical reports and information related to the TEA. Global identified more than twenty prospects and leads as detailed in the ASX release on 23 January 2024 of which three large scale oil and gas prospects, Bonito, Raya and Volador and one already discovered gas field, Piedra Redonda have been prioritised.
Piedra Redonda Gas Field
As part of the Company’s review of the Tumbes Basin, to identify areas in the TEA for additional studies including seismic repreocessing, the Piedra Redonda gas field, discovered in 1978 by the C-18X well, was reviewed.
The review of the Piedra Redonda gas field including a historical assesment contingent and prospective resource is detailed in the ASX release on 18 March 2024.
