DALLAS, Oct. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- International TME Resources Inc.
(ITME) announces that the first well of a 13 well program on the PEL 115
permit, the Hornet No. 1, has been completed in the Permian as a natural gas
discovery. The pay zone, in the Patchawarra formation, is 100 feet thick and
encountered high gas flow rates during drilling. 7-inch production casing was
set through the total section. This well is located on a separate structure
on the PEL 115 permit and is considered a gas discovery. Production testing
of the well is to begin in November. Development drilling is planned to test
the structure.
The Ventura No. 1 has been completed in the Jurassic as a new oil
discovery. This is the second well in the program. Oil was encountered in
two zones and tests indicate production rates in excess of 340 B.O.P.D.
7-inch production casing was set through the McKinlay/Namur oil column.
Production testing of this well is planned for November. Development drilling
is planned to test the areal extent of this new field, which is located on a
separate structure.
Drilling has started on the Canberra No. 1, the third well of the program.
It is believed that the Canberra-1 could be a major oil and gas well with
potential of up to 160 billion cubic feet of gas and 6.4 million barrels of
oil. This well could prove up very substantial oil and gas reserves on the
permit. The permit may contain the largest oil and gas reserves in South
Australia, apart from Santos and its partners. The prospect is a pure
stratigraphic trap and the risk associated with this type of prospect is
mitigated by the 'spectral anomaly feature,' which highlighted the play.
The PEL 115 contains 273,297 acres, which is divided into six separate
parcels. The parcels contain more that 30 leads and prospects with oil and
gas potential.
The PEL 115 permit is located in close proximity to infrastructure such as
gathering lines and trucking facilities. The Operator for the permit is
Victoria Petroleum N. L.
TME owns a fifteen (15%) percent carried interest in a joint venture,
which owns a royalty interest in the entire 273,297 acre permit.
TME onshore royalty holdings now total 3,968,304 acres. Offshore royalty
holdings total 214,896 acres. The total royalty and working interest holdings
for all of Australia now total 4,183,200 acres.
