Commencement of Initial Production Testing at Shenandoah South 1H

29 January 2024 - Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd. (TSXV: FO, AIM: FOG) is pleased to announce the commencement of the 30-day initial production (IP30) testing at the Shenandoah South 1H (“SS1H”) well in EP117, operated by Falcon Oil & Gas Australia Limited’s joint venture partner, Tamboran B2 Pty Limited.

Following the completion of the 10-stage stimulation program announced on 7 December 2023 and the subsequent successful installation of production tubing, the SS1H well was opened to allow sufficient flow back of stimulation fluid ahead of commencing the IP30 test. For normal operational reasons, the SS1H well was shut-in for a three week soak period and was successfully re-opened on 25 January 2024. The aim of soaking was to allow for sufficient stimulation fluid to be absorbed by the shale, increasing the relative permeability to gas of the formation and enhancing future production performance. The IP30 test has now commenced, and results are expected by the end of February 2024.

Proof of commercial flow rates as measured over the IP30 day period and which Falcon estimates to be 1.5 million cubic feet per day (“MMcf/d”) over the 500 metre horizontal section (3.0 MMcf/d normalised over 1,000 metres) or greater will allow the joint venture to progress the sanctioning of the proposed 40 MMcf/d pilot project at Shenandoah South during the first half of 2024.

Philip O’Quigley, CEO of Falcon commented:
“We look forward to this next phase of operations with the initial production testing of the SS1H well in the Beetaloo and will continue to update the market as results become available.”

FALCON OIL & GAS LTD. - SPUDDING OF AMUNGEE NW-3H IN EXPLORATION PERMIT 98

Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd. has spudded the Amungee NW-3H (A3H) horizontal well in exploration permit 98 with an H&P (Helmerich & Payne) super-spec FlexRig flex 3 rig in the Beetaloo subbasin, Northern Territory, Australia, with Falcon Oil & Gas Australia Ltd.'s joint venture partner, Tamboran (B2) Pty. Ltd. The A3H well is the second of the two-well program in 2023 and will target the Amungee member B shale at an estimated depth of 2,450 metres TVD (total vertical depth). The A3H well is located on the same well pad as the Amungee NW-2H well in exploration permit (EP) 98 and is approximately 60 kilometres north of the Shenandoah South 1H well (SS1H), which the company completed the drilling of last week.

Drilling activity is expected to take approximately 25 days, including a 1,000-metre horizontal section. A stimulation program is planned for the second quarter of 2024, following the end of the Northern Territory wet season.

Falcon will participate in the A3H well at its full participating interest of 22.5 per cent, which, under the terms of the joint operating agreement, will create a drilling spacing unit (DSU) of 20,480 acres.

Philip O'Quigley, chief executive officer of Falcon, commented:

"The spudding of the A3H horizontal well, just a week after drilling the SS1H well, is an exciting acceleration in the appraisal of the Beetaloo subbasin. We are confident that learnings and results from the previous two Amungee wells drilled in EP 98, together with the drilling of the SS1H well, will have a positive impact on the outcome of the results from this A3H well. Preparations for the stimulation program of the SS1H well are ongoing and we look forward to updating the market in due course as soon as those operations commence."

Drilling spacing unit

Under the latest-executed joint operating agreement, any well in a new area creates a DSU (formerly referred to as a pro ration unit). The size of the DSU varies depending on: a) the type and length of the well to be drilled; and b) whether or not the well is a commitment well under the terms of the exploration permit. Given that A3H is a commitment well on EP 98, to satisfy permit requirements to the Northern Territory government, the DSU created is approximately four times that of other wells. Wells which are not commitment wells creating a new DSU will be a maximum of 6,400 acres.

FALCON OIL & GAS LTD. - PRELIMINARY PETROPHYSICS AND MUD GAS COMPOSITION FROM VELKERRI 76 S2-1 WELL

Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd. has provided details on the preliminary petrophysical interpretation and mud gas composition data from the Velkerri 76 S2-1 vertical appraisal well in the Beetaloo subbasin, Northern Territory, Australia, with the company's joint venture partner Origin Energy B2 Pty. Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Origin Energy Ltd.

On Oct. 15, 2021, the company announced that drilling of the Velkerri 76 well had been completed and preliminary evaluation of the results had been very encouraging.

The preliminary petrophysical interpretation of the Velkerri-76 wireline logs has now been carried out, which has confirmed positive indications in particular from the B shale of the Amungee member (formerly known as the Middle Velkerri). Other intervals within the Amungee member also show positive indications and further analysis will now be undertaken to confirm these results.

The Amungee member B shale was the principal area of focus with Falcon's operations at Amungee NW-1H and the results obtained to date compare very favourably with some of the most commercially successful shale plays in North America. The Amungee Member B shale is also the focus of activities in the neighbouring Santos and Empire Resources operated blocks.

Mud gas composition data also provides evidence that the Amungee member is within the wet gas maturity window and contains good LPG yields and high heating gas value.

Key information with respect to the preliminary petrophysics and mud gas composition of the Amungee member B shale are included in the attached table.

The results of preliminary petrophysical interpretation confirm: 

• The prospectivity of the Amungee member B shale.
• Reservoir quality of the B shale (TOC, porosity and gross thickness) compares strongly with commercial shale plays in the United States.
• The Velkerri 76 S2-1 well provides yet another robust data point for the joint venture to consider various commercialization options across its permits.

Additional analysis of the conventional core acquired during the drilling of Velkerri 76 will be required to confirm the preliminary petrophysics interpretation and will take place over the coming months.

Laboratory analysis of gas samples collected during drilling will be carried out to further refine gas composition data within the Amungee member shale intervals. 

Philip O'Quigley, chief executive officer of Falcon, commented: "The preliminary petrophysical interpretation of the Velkerri 76 wireline logs is excellent news with the Middle Velkerri B shale comparing favourably to some of the most commercially successful shale plays in North America. These results are further evidence of the increasing significance of the Velkerri play, with results still to come from flow testing of two horizontal wells at the neighbouring Santos-operated blocks also targeting the Velkerri play."

Mr. Philip O'Quigley reports

FALCON OIL & GAS LTD. - AMUNGEE NW-1H - NORMALISED GAS FLOW RATE EQUIVALENT TO 5 MMSCF/D PER 1,000M HORIZONTAL

Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd. has provided results of the production log test at the Amungee NW-1H well. The results suggest a normalized gas flow rate equivalent of between 5.2 million to 5.8 million standard cubic feet per day per 1,000 metres of horizontal section.

Amungee is located in the Beetaloo subbasin, Northern Territory, Australia, and the testing conducted is part of the 2021 work program, which is operated by Falcon's joint venture partner, Origin Energy B2 Pty. Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Origin Energy Ltd.

Amungee background: 

• It is located in exploration permit 98, approximately 60 kilometres east of Daly Waters, just south of the Carpentaria Highway.
• It was the first horizontal well to be drilled and first well to be fracked with Falcon's JV partner and operator, Origin.
• In November, 2015, the JV successfully drilled the well to a total measured depth of 3,808 m, including a 1,100 m horizontal section.
• In September, 2016, 11 hydraulic stimulation stages were completed along the horizontal section in the Middle Velkerri B shale zone.
• In December, 2016, a 57-day extended production test (EPT) was completed, with production averaging 1.10 mmscf/d.
• In February, 2017, the results of evaluation of the discovery and preliminary estimate of petroleum in place were published for the Velkerri B shale gas pool, confirming a gross contingent resource of 6.6 trillion cubic feet, 1.46 trillion cubic feet net to Falcon; full details are contained in Falcon's annual information form. 

Details of Amungee testing: 

• The well was successfully put back on production testing on Aug. 7, 2021.
• Initial flow rates during the first 48 hours of testing ranged between two million and four million standard cubic feet per day with rates averaging 1.23 mmscf/d over the first 23 days.
• A PLT was run on Aug. 19, 2021, to 3,098 metres measured depth, just prior to the casing deformation at 3,112 m md.
• The PLT data confirm that: Only 5 to 15 per cent of the production came from stages 1 to 7 beyond the casing deformation point at 3,112 m md. Eighty-five to 95 per cent of the production came from stages 8 to 11, spanning a 200 m horizontal section, prior to the casing deformation.
• The low contribution from stages 1 to 7 is likely the result of a restriction caused by the casing deformation or the plugs having not milled out, or both.
• Conclusion: Stages 8 to 11 may be representative of the deliverability that can be achieved within the Middle Velkerri B shale at Amungee.
• The PLT test results equate to a normalized gas flow rate of between 5.2 million and 5.8 million standard cubic feet per day per 1,000 m of horizontal section.
• A typical future production well would be likely to have a horizontal production section of up to three kilometres.
• The result validates the decision to undertake a second EPT in order to run a PLT. 

Philip O'Quigley, chief executive officer of Falcon, commented: "With our unique and extensive position in the Beetaloo subbasin, this is really exciting news for Falcon shareholders and this significant development provides line of sight to the commercialization of the Beetaloo, for which we remain carried for further activity.

"A recent report by an industry analyst suggests that gas flows greater than three mmscf/d from a 1,000 m horizontal well are required to demonstrate the commerciality of the Beetaloo. Not only does this test result significantly exceed these parameters and significantly increase our assessment of the Velkerri dry gas play, but it also puts the Beetaloo on a par with other shale gas basins in North America.

"While we wait for further news from our operations at Kyalla 117 N2-1H ST2 and Velkerri 76 S2-1, we look forward to working with our JV partner, Origin, in establishing the next phase of work on the Middle Velkerri B shale.

"With other drilling activity in neighbouring Santos-operated blocks targeting the Velkerri dry gas play, this is an important moment for the nationally significant Beetaloo subbasin."
