Triangle secures Environmental Plan for
Becos-1 well
Clears way for drilling 5 MMbbl oil target
Rig tenders and slots under evaluation
Key takeaways:

•
•
The Environment Plan (EP) for the Becos-1 has been granted.
Stakeholder approvals secured.
Rig tenders under evaluation.
Triangle Energy Global Ltd (ASX:TEG) is pleased to advise that its Joint Venture with Strike Energy Ltd
(ASX:STX) and Echelon Resources Ltd (ASX:ECH) has received approval of the EP to drill the Becos-1
well, which is a commitment well under the EP 437 permit title.
The approval of this EP clears the path to drilling the Becos-1 well when a rig is available. These
discussions are underway with a number of possible alternatives and a decision is anticipated within the
next few weeks.
The primary target is oil in the Bookara and Arranoo reservoirs. These encountered gas with good oil
shows in the Wye-1 well, drilled in 1996. Gross Prospective Resources ranging from 1 million barrels of
oil (MMbbl) Low Estimate to 21 MMbbl High Estimate with a Best Estimate of 5 MMbbl recoverable have
been calculated for these two reservoirs.
The Becos prospect location is shown on the location map to lie in the EP 437 and the western part of L7,
see Figure 1.
Becos has been mapped on the Bookara 3D seismic survey area. The depth structure map over the EP
437 and L7 permits (Figure 2) shows the faults and structures of the Bookara Shelf. Of particular interest
is the east-west trending Allanooka Fault at the southern edge of the map. Triangle has determined that
the oil in the Mt Horner oil field (at least 8 million barrels in-place) located in the center of the L7 permit
and the gas tested with good oil shows in the Wye-1 well in EP 437, must have migrated from the deeper
basin section to the south of the Allanooka fault. The results of the Booth-1 well confirm that in the east of
the L7 permit, the Allanooka fault did not let gas or oil across into the Booth prospect.

Triangle has calculated a range of gross oil prospective resources for the Becos prospect from 1MMbbl
for the low case to 21 MMbbl for the high case with a best estimate of 5MMbbl. The prospect is
considered to have a geological chance of success (GPOS) of 25%

A further oil prospect, Wye Knot, has been identified downdip from the proven gas in the Wye-1 well. The
oil is expected to form a rim around the gas leg. The Wye Knot prospect is calculated to have Best Estimate
Prospective Resources of 2 MMbbl.

Table 1: Becos Prospective Oil Resources
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.
Triangle Managing Director Conrad Todd said: “We are looking forward to drilling the attractive
Becos-1 in the North Perth Basin, the Joint Venture will update the market as soon as a rig contract
has been concluded with further information on the well. Some preliminary discussions have been
held and it is anticipated a decision will be made within the next few weeks.”

Note: Prospective Resources are the estimated quantities of petroleum that may potentially be recovered
by the application of a future development project relate 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 the updated L7 and EP 437 resources tables are calculated
for a Gross 100% interest in the Permit and tabulates 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 11th 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.
