ACOR owns a 13.83% working interest under PEL 112 & PEL 444 and is 100% fully carried for its 13.83% working interest in the next 2 wells drilled on either block. ACOR will pay their proportionate part on any exploration cost thereafter. PEL 112 and PEL 444 comprise of approximately 4,544 Sq. kilometers or approximately 1.125 million gross acres and are located in Australia's most prolific onshore oil & gas producing basin, the Cooper/Eromanga Basin.
The study, received by the operator on June 12th 2009, analyzed only 10 of 45 drilling leads and concluded undeveloped P90 and mean risked reserves related to those leads were approximately 25,300,000 barrels of oil and approximately 31,600,000 million barrels of oil, respectively.
The independent study was conducted by ISIS Petroleum Consultants Pty. Ltd. of Australia, an internationally recognized petroleum engineering firm. The reported increase in reserves results, in largest part, from the likely migration of oil past the Cooper Basin's Permian zero edge resulting in the recognition of the Namur Sandstone as the Company's primary reservoir.
The operator of PEL 112 & PEL 444 states that seismic acquisition and a 5-well drilling program to begin exploration of the leases will require expenditures in excess of $11,000,000.

New Field Discovery - The Perlubie Oil Field
In May 2009, the operator PEL 92 that adjoins PEL 112 to the North announced that the Perlubie-1 well came online at 3000 barrels of oil per day.
The Perlubie-1 well has now been choked back to 800BOPD due to strong production performance in the Parsons and Callawonga oil fields that adjoin PEL 112 to the North.
Currently, the new Parsons-Callawonga-Tantanna flow line is at 100% of its 6000 barrels of oil per day oil capacity.
Perlubie-1 was declared an oil discovery in February 2009.
New Field Discovery - The Perlubie South Oil Field
The operator of PEL 92 states that they have hit a winner with the Perlubie South-1 well in PEL 92, Cooper Basin, after logging confirmed the well is a new oil discovery.
According to partner Cooper Energy, preliminary evaluation of the logs show the well intersected an oil column between 1313-1316m and the oil-water contact appears to be similar to that encountered in the nearby Perlubie-1 well.
The operator of PEL 92 said the logs showed the reservoir appears to be of a similar high quality to other producing Namur oil reservoirs nearby.
