Item 2.01 Completion of Disposition of Assets
REARRANGEMENT OF BROWSE JOINT VENTURE
FARMOUT OF WA-332-P, WA-333-P AND WA-342-P
PREPARATION FOR DRILLING BRAVEHEART 1 WELL
Our wholly owned subsidiary, Alpha Oil & Natural Gas Pty Ltd ("Alpha") together
with its joint venturers, has entered into a farmout agreement with respect to
WA-332-P, WA-333-P and WA-342-P ("Permits") with Gascorp Australia Pty Ltd
("Gascorp") whereby Gascorp has agreed to earn a 15% interest in each of the
Permits in return for the obligation of Gascorp to expend $1,120,000 in
acquiring approximately 490 line kilometres of new 2D seismic data in the
Permits and in acquiring a drill site survey over a possible location to test
the Braveheart prospect. The seismic survey is planned to provide coverage of
leads within WA-332-P as well as assist in the determination of the location of
a Braveheart 1 well, which is expected to be drilled in WA-333-P in late 2009.
As a result of this farmout, Alpha's interest in each of the three permits has
reduced from 20% to 17%.
In addition to this farmout, the participants in each of the Permits have
elected to form new 100% owned subsidiary companies and have agreed to transfer
their respective interests to such wholly owned subsidiaries. Alpha has
incorporated Braveheart Oil & Gas Pty Ltd as a wholly owned subsidiary of AOGC
to which it has assigned its residual 17% interest in each of the Permits. These
transactions have been submitted to the Designated Authority (Commonwealth of
Australia) for approval.
The participants in the Browse Joint Venture have contracted to engage the
services of Australian Drilling Associates Pty Ltd to provide project management
services to support the conduct of drilling operations and to gain access to one
drilling slot in a group sponsored multi-well program utilising the
semi-submersible drilling rig, the Songa Venus. The drilling slot is to be used
for the drilling of the Braveheart 1 well.
