Update on Wilson Prospect

01/02/2007
  • As a result of a farm in to the Wilson prospect by Cinco Resources Inc, Pantheon's original 25% working interest in Wilson prospect has been reduced by 4.875%.
  • Separately however Pantheon has agreed in principle, subject to execution of contracts, to farm into an additional 7.5% of the Wilson prospect on a "heads up" basis. "Heads up" means that Pantheon will bear 7.5% of the costs for its 7.5% working interest. It will not therefore be subject to any premium or "promote" on this component.
  • Overall, subject to the latter transaction being completed, the net effect is that Pantheon's working interest in Wilson will increase from the original 25% to 27.625% on more favourable terms.

In summary the working interests in the Wilson Prospect are as follows:

  Working Interest (%) % Share of Drilling Costs to Casing Point
Golden Gate Petroleum Ltd
47.375
40.670
Pantheon Resources Plc*
27.625

Expected Drilling Timetable

  • The operator expects the well to be completed by the end of March.
  • The Wilson well will be targeting the upper Frio system at similar depths to existing production on Padre Island such as at La Playa Deep and La Playa Shallow to the north, and Dunn Peach #6 to the south.
