Acquisition of Rights to Secure
Substantial Increase in Alaska Land Holding
 
88 Energy Limited ("88 Energy", "the Company") (ASX, AIM: 88E) is pleased to announce the following update in relation to Project Icewine (77.5% Working Interest, Operator), located on the Central North Slope of Alaska.
 
Highlights
 
·     Accumulate Energy Alaska, Inc. ("Accumulate", a 100% subsidiary of 88E) and JV Partner, Burgundy Xploration LLC ("Burgundy") declared high bidder on ~142,560 acres on the Central North Slope (Accumulate 77.5% working interest)
 
·     Burgundy declared high bidder on additional 279,360 acres on the Central North Slope (Accumulate retains back in right for 30% of these additional acres at cost)
 
·     Net land position for Accumulate (assuming all rights taken up) now over 400,000 acres on the Central North Slope (Joint Venture gross position over 690,000 acres)
 
Managing Director of 88 Energy Limited, Dave Wall commented:
 
"Our success in this bid round provides us with the ability to significantly increase our acreage position on the North Slope and highlights the confidence that management has in both the HRZ unconventional play as well as the conventional prospectivity at Project Icewine.
 
The upcoming drilling of Icewine#2 will test the flow potential of the HRZ in 1H 2017 and, with the additional acreage, we have now maximised the potential upside exposure for our shareholders in the event of success.
 
We look forward to providing additional news on all fronts in the near future."
 
Central North Slope Alaska - Acreage Details
Additional analysis of the results from the Icewine#1 well by the Company's JV partner, Burgundy, has refined the potential HRZ resource play sweetspot. This resulted in a joint decision by 88 Energy and Burgundy to seek rights to a substantial increase in acreage in the December 2016 Central North Slope Alaska bid round.
 
Accumulate elected to bid its pro rata entitlement of 77.5% working interest on 142,560 gross acres, based on the original Area of Mutual Interest ("AMI"). Given Burgundy's desire to lease a substantially larger area, being an additional 279,360 acres, the Joint Venture agreed to modify the AMI, extending its boundary to include all of the additional leases bid on by Burgundy and to change the working interest for Accumulate's back in right to 30%.
 
As per previous bid rounds on the Central North Slope of Alaska, the Joint Venture participants each funded their share of a 20% deposit of the gross bid amount (88E net deposit paid US$600k), the balance of which is paid on official award in several months' time.
 
Conventional Update
Finalisation of the 2D seismic interpretation over Project Icewine identified the extension of a prospective play fairway on the western margin of the acreage where a number of promising leads have been mapped, all with stacked pay potential. The acquisition of the new leases by the Company captures the full potential of these leads which will be further evaluated in conjunction with the continuing conventional prospectivity review of the Icewine acreage.
 
Vintage exploration wells within the newly acquired lease area encountered hydrocarbon shows within the prospective play fairway, which is encouraging, and prospectivity analysis is ongoing

JV area now as big as Cheshire, that's a sizeable tract of land. Should be a very interesting year for 88e, especially when they announce their 2d Seismic results.

Nice paragraph. :-))

On the up 8%

Some big buys going through today 10% up

Today has broken up on the charting front

Good to see the sp now make progress, opposed to falling off .

15.385% rise on AUX overnight.

nice. :-))

Another good day in the UK by the looks of things. This and Sound are my two biggest holdings, so hoping for big news from both in 2017!

Well one thing can be guaranteed and that is, there will be news from both, maybe in 2016 for 88E, good or bad! If only the former could be guaranteed!

Busy last half hour. Next news please.

Proactive investor - 88 Energy shares could add more than a third in coming months

09:55 12 Jan 2017


The ‘King of Charts’ Zak Mir is tipping oil and gas explorer 88 Energy ltd (LON:88E) to add more than a third to its share price over the coming weeks and months.
In the latest episode of the Proactive Investors Bulletin Board, Mir says: “The view at the moment is while we’re above the 50-day moving average of 2.3p we could at least retest the August resistance zone towards 3.5p.”

RNS out in the morning will confirm that the results from the 2D seismic interpretation continue to exceed expectations for the conventional potential across Project Icewine and whilst the conventional Prospective Resource is very large, it is eclipsed by the potential of the HRZ, especially given the recently expanded acreage position. Additionally, the HRZ has been de-risked via analysis of the results from Icewine 1 and remains the Company's primary objective. Preparations for the drilling of Icewine 2 remain on track.

Taking its time this one.

Bought some @ 2.475p

Has been around this bottom for a few days, and Indicators are turning up.
