Origin and Senex completed the two Cooper Basin tight gas farm-ins announced 24 February 2014, after conditions were met. Origin funds $65m for 40% of Area A and $36m-$40m for up to 45% of Area B Deeps, in programs worth up to $252m in total. Resolves the pending completion.
Planet Gas agreed to be free carried for its share of the $80m Area B Deeps (PEL 638) work program, cutting its interest to 10%. Origin's Stage 1 interest rises to 33.75% (from 30%), and to 45% after Stage 2. Work program unchanged.
Beach's May report lists further Cooper Basin gas wells cased and suspended, including Big Lake-105, -109, -110 and -115 and Vega-4 in the Queensland JV (Origin 16.5%). Cocinero-1 (Origin 25%) was cased and suspended as an oil well. Routine development drilling.
Beach's April drilling report shows further Cooper Basin gas wells cased and suspended in the South Australian JV (Origin 13.19%), including Big Lake and Gooranie, and Baryulah-17 in the Queensland JV (Origin 16.5%). Routine development drilling; other results lie outside Origin's interests.
Origin and Sasol signed a conditional farm-in with Falcon for three Beetaloo Basin permits in the Northern Territory (over 18,500 km2). Origin and Sasol each take 35%. Origin pays about $11m, becomes operator and contributes $32m over three years. This is a new shale gas exploration position.
Beach's March drilling report covers the Cooper Basin, including Big Lake gas wells cased and suspended in the South Australian JV (Origin 13.19%) and Baryulah-18 in the Queensland JV (Origin 16.5%). The oil discovery at Stunsail-1 is outside Origin's interests.
Caravel-1 in New Zealand's Canterbury Basin reached 2,692m and is being plugged and abandoned after encountering only gas shows. Origin holds 45%. Analysis will guide future activity; this resolves the well Origin began on 10 February.
Partner NZ Oil & Gas said an independent assessment, published for the Genesis IPO, estimated extra contingent and prospective resources at Kupe. Origin operates Kupe with 50%. The work is conceptual, expected to take about 12 months, and no volumes are given.
Beach's February drilling report covers Cooper Basin work in which Origin holds 13.19% (South Australia) and 16.5% (Queensland). Barrolka-11 to 13 were all cased as gas wells, and Moomba-193 ST1 reached 3,996m with a roughly 1,000m lateral. Routine partner update.
Planet Gas, which holds 20% of PEL 514, announced the Origin-Senex farm-out of the deep Permian section. Origin earns 30% from Stage 1 and a further 10% from Stage 2; Planet Gas keeps its 20%. Partner's version of the same deal.
Origin signed two farm-ins with Senex for unconventional gas blocks in South Australia's Cooper Basin. It invests $97m in Stage 1 for 40% of Area A and 30% of Area B, with an option to add 10% each for $72m. Completion by about 30 June 2014.
Senex announced the Cooper Basin farm-out to Origin, a work program of up to $252m covering Area A and Area B in South Australia, with at least 15 wells. Senex is free-carried for the first $185m. Completion is expected by 30 June 2014.
Drilling began on 10 February 2014 on the Caravel-1 exploration well offshore Canterbury Basin, New Zealand. Origin holds 45% alongside operator Anadarko (45%) and Discover (10%). Expected to take about 40 days to reach 2,800m in 1,105m of water.
Beach's January drilling report, a partner document. In the SACB JV (Origin 13.19%), Moomba-202 and Big Lake wells were cased as gas producers; Moomba-193 needed a side-track. Barrolka-12 (Origin 16.5% Qld JV) cased as a gas producer. Routine update.
Beach's December drilling report, a partner document. Marama West-1 (Origin 10%) was a gas discovery, completing a three-well Queensland program where all three wells found gas. Several SACB JV (Origin 13.19%) wells were cased as gas producers.
Beach Energy's November drilling report, a partner document, shows Cooper Basin activity where Origin has interests. Kaiden-1 was a gas discovery in the Queensland gas JV (Origin 16.5%), and several SACB JV (Origin 13.19%) wells were cased as gas producers. Routine drilling update.
Beach Energy's September drilling report covers its own wells plus Santos-operated Cooper Basin wells where Origin holds 13.19% or 16.5%, including Cowralli gas wells cased for fracture stimulation and Langmuir-1 suspended. Nothing Origin-specific.
Beach Energy's August drilling report covers its own wells plus Santos-operated Cooper Basin wells where Origin holds 13.19%, 16.5% or 25%, such as Cowralli gas wells and Cook-27 (suspended as a future oil producer). Nothing Origin-specific; the Egypt discovery is Beach's.
Beach Energy's July drilling report covers its own wells plus Santos-operated Cooper Basin wells where Origin holds 13.19%, 16.5% or 25%, such as Cowralli-17/-27, Cook-24 (suspended as oil producer) and Cook-25 (abandoned). Nothing Origin-specific.
Origin's 2P reserves ended June 2013 at 6,201 PJe, down 607 PJe mainly because its APLNG share was diluted from 42.5% to 37.5%; excluding that, up 49 PJe. APLNG is about 45% complete. FY13 production was 123 PJe (-5%); June quarter 32 PJe (+9%).
Origin's Ca Voi-1X well in Vietnam's Block 121 reached its planned 3,750 m depth and was plugged and abandoned, finding only wet gas shows in a secondary objective. This is a disappointing exploration result for Origin's 45% interest.
Origin agreed to take 50% and operatorship of offshore permit WA-454-P from MEO Australia, paying A$5.6m of back costs and funding 80% of the Breakwater-1 exploration well, capped at A$35m. Subject to regulatory approvals and a joint operating agreement.
Beach Energy's June drilling report covers its own wells plus Santos-operated Cooper Basin wells where Origin holds 13.19%, 16.5% or 25%, such as Cowralli, Karmona-6 and Cook-26, mostly cased and suspended for future production. Nothing Origin-specific.
Partner Pan Pacific Petroleum repeats the Ca Voi-1X spud in 270 m of water, testing the Whale prospect (Oligocene reservoirs) to about 3,771 m; the well was at 342 m on 16 June. Origin holds 45% as operator. No new result.
Origin, operator with 45%, spudded the Ca Voi-1X exploration well in Block 121 off central Vietnam on 15 June 2013, targeting 3,771 m. Partners are Premier Oil 40% and Pan Pacific 15%. Origin will update only on completion.
Beach Energy's May drilling report covers its own Cooper Basin oil and deep gas wells. Origin appears only through non-operated Santos-led wells, such as Cowralli development wells (13.19%) and Juno-6 (16.5%). Several cased and suspended as future producers; nothing Origin-specific.
Beach Energy's April drilling report covers its own Cooper Basin oil wells, such as the Kalladeina-2 discovery, plus Santos-operated wells where Origin holds 13.19%, such as Van der Waals-1. Origin is not the operator and no Origin-specific result is reported.
Beach Energy's March drilling report covers its own wells, such as Halifax-1 and Holdfast-2, plus Santos-operated Cooper wells including Achilles-1 (dry). Origin is not named; its link is its 13.19% interest in the Santos-operated Cooper JV.
Beach Energy's February drilling report covers its own Cooper and Otway wells, such as Halifax-1 (up to 4.2 MMscf/d). Origin is not named; its only link is its 13.19% interest in the Santos-operated Cooper JV.
