CLONTARF ASSETS:
GHANA
Clontarf have a major interest in the Tano 2A Block in Ghana and is held 60% by Clontarf Energy, 30% Petrel Resources and 10% Ghanaian interests.
The block covers 1,532km2 with extensive raw data available, 676km of 2d seismic is now being reviewed. The block is onshore/offshore close to four recent major discoveries by Tullow and Kosmos.
The block has numerous seeps and shows onshore which are fed from offshore oil kitchens. Clontarf Energy has reprocessed and analysed the available data and have identified eight potential targets.
The block is awaiting ratification and is expected during Q1 2012.
PERU:
Clontarf were awarded two exploration blocks in Peru in the October 2010 bid round. The two exploration Blocks, 183 and 188, are in key producing areas in the Maranon and Ucayali basins. Both the Peruvian Blocks, 183 & 188, received the Presidential ‘Supreme Decree’ on the 26th July 2011. These are expected to be farmed out to a regional oil major during 2012.
Block 183: covers 396,826 hectares in the Marañon Basin, which has produced oil and gas since the 1940s. Two oil fields and one gas field are on adjacent blocks. Good quality, recently re-processed seismic data is available. Clontarf Energy already has identified leads & prospects.
Block 188: covers 595,809 hectares of prospective ground beside a 16 tcf producing field. Extensive regional data is available (13,400km of 2d seismic and 50 wells), good seismic coverage and 3 wells drilled close to the block. There are three main producing reservoirs in the area and an undeveloped oil discovery at neighbouring La Colpa.
BOLIVIA:
Monteagudo: (30% Clontarf, 50% Repsol-YPFB, 20% Petrobras). This is a traditional field producing c. 120 bod. The potential is the deep gas play, estimated to be 3 tcf; identified by 3D seismic and identical to nearby multi-tcf discoveries. The company is being restructured and Clontarf hopes to increase their stake to 50%. There is 3rd party interest in the field.
El Dorado (10% Clontarf 90% YPFB) is a producing gas field near Santa Cruz. These wells are now producing c. 19mmcfd & 500bd condensate. Planned production is c.40mmcfd & 800 barrels condensate – yielding gross revenues of over $200k daily. Subject to final negotiation with YPFB, the field has the potential to yield substantial revenue to Clontarf. There is 440 bcf proven to date.
