Booth-1 Drilling Update
Booth-1 well drilling scheduled for late July 2024
Highlights

•
•
The Ventia 106 rig is expected to be released to the L7 Joint Venture in early July and will
take approximately 10 days to mobilise to the Booth-1 location
Drilling of the Booth-1 well is expected to commence mid to late July
Civil works for the drill pad are nearing completion with all other necessary preparatory
works complete and all regulatory approvals received
Booth Prospect has potential for multiple oil and gas targets, with a Prospective Resource
range of 113 Bcf (billion cubic feet of gas) to 540 Bcf with a Best Estimate of 279 Bcf (Gross
100%, on-block)
Triangle Energy Global Ltd (ASX:TEG) (Triangle or Company) is pleased to advise that preparatory works
by the L7 Joint Venture with Strike Energy Ltd (ASX:STX) and New Zealand Oil and Gas Ltd (ASX:NZO)
to drill the Booth-1 well in the North Perth Basin are nearing completion and all regulatory approvals have
been received. The Company now expects the Ventia 106 rig to be released by the current drilling operator
in early July with the spud of the Booth-1 well expected to occur mid to late July.
The Booth prospect, located in the east of L7, is planned to be the first well in the upcoming drilling
campaign, targeting gas at the Kingia-High Cliff reservoirs with potential for oil or gas in the overlying
Dongara and Cattamarra Coal Measures sandstones. Negotiations are ongoing for a rig to drill the Becos
Prospect in permit EP 437.
The Booth prospect has potential for multiple oil and gas targets, with a Prospective Resource range of
113 Bcf (billion cubic feet of gas) to 540 Bcf with a Best Estimate of 279 Bcf (Gross 100%, on-block), has
a prognosed total depth of 2,900m (measured depth) and is expected to take 22 days to drill from spud.
The well will deviate 800m to the southeast from the surface location to intersect three prospective
reservoirs that are offset in depth and will have a true vertical depth of 2,670m. A new water supply well
has been drilled which will subsequently be given to the landowner
Note: Prospective Resources are the estimated quantities of petroleum that may potentially be
recovered by the application of a future development project it relates to undiscovered
accumulations. These estimates have both an associated risk of discovery and a risk to
development. Further exploration appraisal and evaluation is required to determine the existence
of a significant quantity of potentially moveable hydrocarbons.

Triangle Managing Director, Conrad Todd, said: “We are excited to approach the spud of the Booth1 well in the Perth Basin. This will be the first well drilled in our permits for 30 years. Triangle
acquired the first 3D seismic over the L7 and EP 437 permits in 2022 which, in other parts of the
Perth Basin. has played a pivotal role in some of the major discoveries in recent years. This new
3D seismic data was used to locate and plan the Booth-1 well and we are excited to drill the first
of the many prospects within these permits”.

Qualified Petroleum Reserves and Resources Evaluator Statement:
The Prospective Resources are based on and fairly represent information and supporting documentation
prepared and authorised by the Company’s Subsurface Manager Dr Doug Gillies, who is a full-time
employee of Triangle Energy (Global) Limited. Dr Gillies has provided his written consent to the form and
context in which the information that relates to the resources as presented. Dr. Gillies has a PhD in
Geology and a BSc in Geology with over 35 years’ experience practicing in Petroleum Geology. Dr Gillies
is a member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers.
Note: Prospective Resources are the estimated quantities of petroleum that may potentially be recovered
by the application of a future development project relates to undiscovered accumulations. These estimates
have both an associated risk of discovery and a risk to development. Further exploration appraisal and
evaluation is required to determine the existence of a significant quantity of potentially moveable
hydrocarbons.
The estimates of Prospective Resources included in the announcement have been prepared in
accordance with the definitions and guidelines set forth in the Petroleum Resources Management System
(“PRMS”) as revised in June 2018 by the Society of Petroleum Engineers. The PRMS defines prospective
resources as those quantities of petroleum which are estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially
recoverable from undiscovered accumulations.
All Prospective Resources indicated within this release are calculated for a Gross 100% interest in the
Permit and are indicated as Gross (100%) and Net (50%) interests.
These prospects were mapped using the Bookara 3D seismic data which has been recently acquired and
interpreted. TEG has applied a range of reservoir parameters based on regional well information and good
industry practice.
The evaluation date for the Prospective Resources stated within this document is 15th January 2024, this
superseded the previous resource calculation released to the ASX on 27th March 2022.
The Prospective Resources were calculated using a probabilistic method, then resource ranges for the
prospects and leads were summed arithmetically.
The volumes reported are “Unrisked” in the sense that the Geological Chance of Success (GCoS) factor
has not been applied. The designated volumes are considered to be in the moderate to high GCoS range.
