Do you know when to trade AUCAF ?
AUCAF | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Australian-Canadian Oil Royalties Ltd. (herein called ACOR) (OTCBB:AUCAF)
is pleased to announce that the operator states that the TSMarine Rem
Etive dive support vessel had completed all hook-up activities for the
pipeline and control systems for the Longtom Gas Field and tested the
system.
Production is expected to start in the coming week following
coordination of the start-up with Santos's onshore Orbost gas plant.
Santos has a gas contract in place, at an estimated value of
approximately $1,000,000,000 (BILLION) to process and purchase up to 350
Petajoules (PJ) of gas and associated liquids from the Longtom Gas Field
on ACOR's ORRI located in the offshore Gippsland Basin.
The gas from the Longtom Gas Field will be transported via the
newly-built pipeline by the operator to the end of Santos's
Patricia-Baleen pipeline, approximately 7.3 miles away. The raw gas
would then continue along the Patricia-Baleen pipeline to shore where it
would be processed at the Orbost gas plant.
The Longtom gas project has proved and probable reserves of
approximately 350 BCF of gas and 4 million barrels of condensate. The
daily production is estimated at a volume of approximately 11,000 -
12,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (100% basis).
ACOR owns a 1/20th of 1% ORRI under VIC/54 (including the
Longtom Gas Field) covering approximately 155,676 gross acres.
About the Longtom Gas Field
The Longtom gas field is located in production license VIC/L29 in the
Gippsland Basin, offshore Victoria. The field is approximately 12 miles
from the coastline in approximately 183 feet of water depth.
In September 2006, the Longtom-3 well flowed at over 75 MMCF per day on
test while bypassing the separator, confirming that it can also alone
meet the contract requirements.
In September 2008, the Longtom-4 development well was successfully flow
tested. The test of the primary production zone within the Admiral
formation flowed at a rate of approximately 58 MMCF per day through a
64/64" choke on ACOR's ORRI. The well flowed for 35 hours before being
shut-in to monitor the pressure response from the reservoir.
The Longtom gas project is a significant long term infrastructure
development that has the capacity to deliver over 10% of Victoria's
annual gas demand.
