Future Operations

 

Mosman's strategic objective continues to be to identify opportunities which will provide operating cash flow and have development upside, in conjunction with exploration of its existing Australian exploration permit.

 

Increased production and an oil price currently over USD 60/bbl are expected to provide strong operating cash flow to Mosman, and the Company looks forward to progressing additional development wells to add to the recent success at Stanley. Wells currently under consideration include additional Stanley development wells, a well at Falcon and at Galaxie at the Champion project and development wells at the Challenger project. The timing and order of the wells under consideration remain subject to a number of considerations including approvals, priorities determined by Working Interest partners, and funding.

 

Mosman continues to progress EP 145 in the Amadeus Basin NT, near where Santos is drilling the Dukas well to test a large helium and hydrocarbons prospect. The Company is planning and making applications for the approvals required to acquire additional seismic data.

 

Mosman's policy remains that it will provide the market with six monthly updates on production with ad hoc updates as required due to changes in production trends.

 

John W Barr, Chairman, said: "Mosman set a strategic objective on which it is delivering results. We are on track to further increase production and look forward to updating the market with further developments.

 

The recent success at Stanley and the potential new wells under consideration should further lift production."
