Buffalo Project Update

Advance Energy (AIM:ADV), the energy company seeking growth through acquisition or farm-in to non-operated interests in discovered upstream projects, provides the following update on the Buffalo project offshore Timor-Leste (the "Buffalo Project") ahead of the drilling of the Buffalo-10 well.

 

The Operator of the Buffalo Project, Carnarvon Petroleum Timor, Lda., has been advised that the Valaris JU-107 jack-up rig is completing its final operation with another operator, with rig handover now expected to occur in late December 2021, instead of mid-December as previously guided.

 

The Company notes that the delays are not related to the performance of the rig or preparation by the Operator.

 

The Buffalo-10 well is designed to test the presence of a significant attic oil accumulation that remains after the original development was closed-in and convert the 2C certified resources of 34.3 MMstb to 2P (proved plus probable) reserves following re-certification.

A further update will be provided upon mobilisation of the drilling rig to the Buffalo Project location.

Leslie Peterkin, CEO of Advance Energy, commented:

"These delays are part and parcel of the industry, and we look forward to a successful handover in late December. Our excitement for the well continues to grow as we get closer to unleashing the value of the Buffalo Project."
