Colin Vost (ASX:BKP)

We think this is a fantastic result for everyone involved, especially our shareholders, this is an enormous amount of money to be spent on exploration and indicates just how massive the potential for this area could be. Statoil is a global oil & gas company listed on the New York Stock Exchange and the Oslo Bors with a market capitalization of approx US$75 Billion. We believe they presently have business operations in 41 countries/territories and now you can add Australia. As we understand it, this is the first investment of Statoil into Australia, and needless to say, adds huge global credibility to the Southern Georgina Basin as well as significant capital and technical capability.

Paul Bennett (TSVFC)

We are very excited to announce this farm-in agreement whereby up to US$230.0 million will be spent on our unconventional properties, of which Statoil will contribute up to US$210.0 million. Statoil is a highly regarded international exploration company, actively involved in major unconventional plays and brings exceptional financial resources and technical capabilities to our new relationship. We believe that partnering with a global leader like Statoil validates the potential of our assets and the exploration work we have completed to date.

Atle Rettedal (NYSE:STO)

These exploration activities are in line with our objective to access shale plays at an early stage, at low cost and to develop them into potentially high value assets. We are looking forward to exploring them together with PetroFrontier, a small but highly competent company.

PetroFrontier Corp. announces successful drilling of its second horizontal well in Southern Georgina Basin, Australia

CALGARY, June 25, 2012 /CNW/ - (TSX-V: PFC) - PetroFrontier Corp. ("PetroFrontier") is pleased to announce that it has successfully completed the drilling of its second horizontal well ("MacIntyre-2H") in the Southern Georgina Basin, Northern Territory, Australia. MacIntyre-2H is located in the northeastern part of EP 127, approximately 60 km from the Baldwin-2Hst1 well, which PetroFrontier successfully drilled in late 2011.

MacIntyre-2H reached a total measured depth of 1,916 metres and stayed within the primary target zone, the Lower Arthur Creek "Hot Shale" Formation, for approximately 1,080 metres, recording positive hydrocarbon indications along the entire length of the horizontal section. A multistage open-hole completion string will now be placed in the well before the drilling rig moves on to drill PetroFrontier's third horizontal well, Owen-3. Thereafter, a fracture stimulation program is expected to be carried out at each of Baldwin-2Hst1, MacIntyre-2H and Owen-3H.

Although the drilling results from MacIntyre-2H are encouraging, this well remains a high-risk exploration venture. Readers are cautioned that no reserves have been proven by this well.

technically, everything looks wrong ......so, i bought more of these at .013's last week.....we are due some results over the next few weeks......if the library cores are anything to go by already, the results should/would/could give a minimum idea if forecasts by Ryder et al have any real susbstance.......

 

[boff]

technically, everything looks wrong ......

Ha ha. love it.

Couldn't agree more. I topped up with a couple of mil. about a month ago at 1.4. They are currently progressing the second frac and I think the third will be completed within a couple of weeks. Then flow tests. Because of flow testing in reverse order it is touch and go if our hole gets a go before the wet. However good results from the first 2 would be a major boost/de-risk for us.

CALGARY, Oct. 12, 2012 /CNW/ - (TSXV: PFC) - PetroFrontier Corp. ("PetroFrontier") is pleased to provide an operational update regarding its current well completion operations in the Southern Georgina Basin, Northern Territory, Australia.

Owen-3H

A successful hydraulic stimulation was performed on the Owen-3H well over ten open-hole stages. PetroFrontier is very encouraged by the low fluid injection pressures and high injection rates evident during the stimulation. Log data and core samples have been obtained and appear positive, confirming the existence of oil in the Lower Arthur Creek and Thorntonia Carbonate Formations.

PetroFrontier is now preparing to conduct an extended flow-test of the Owen-3H well prior to the wet season. PetroFrontier and its joint venture partner (Statoil Australia Oil & Gas AS) are encouraged by these early stage results and look forward to flow-testing this well. This data will be used to guide the 2013 capital program as it supports the potential for oil recovery in PetroFrontier's unconventional acreage.

MacIntyre-2H

A successful hydraulic stimulation was performed on the MacIntyre-2H well over nine open-hole stages. However, after recovering approximately one-third of the hydraulic stimulation fluid, traces of biogenic hydrogen sulfide gas, produced from naturally occurring organisms in the completion fluid, were detected and the well had to be suspended. PetroFrontier is actively sourcing the specialized equipment to allow flow-testing to resume.

Based on the experience at the MacIntyre-2H well, additional treatment of the completion fluid was performed prior to stimulation operations at the Owen-3H and Baldwin-2Hst1 wells to avoid a reoccurrence of this problem.

Baldwin-2Hst1

During the hydraulic stimulation program of the Baldwin-2Hst1 well, a shallow casing failure occurred and as a result, PetroFrontier was unable to complete the program. As expected, the multiple casing design protected the shallow aquifers. PetroFrontier plans to carry out remedial work to repair this well so that the planned hydraulic stimulation program can be completed.

As a result of these unforeseen operational delays at MacIntyre-2H and Baldwin-2Hst1, test results on these wells are not likely until 2013, depending on regulatory approvals, weather and the availability of required equipment and services.

The operations referred to above are "firsts" in the Northern Territory, Australia and are critically important operations for PetroFrontier. PetroFrontier (in conjunction with its partners, Statoil Australia Oil & Gas AS and Baraka Energy & Resources Limited) intends to continue assessing the most efficient and cost effective way to explore and develop its unconventional resource potential in the Southern Georgina Basin.

seems, inspite of the crush on PFC sp and crunch on BKP's sp, more and more drillers come to the game in the Georgina basin......that's a lot of faith.....i'm guessing youre enjoying todays operational pdf

tick tock tick......

 

[Joules MM1]

that clocks slowing down.....lulz......

bought more today at 011's

 

[Joules MM1]

so, the words

Laboratory analysis of the Owen-3 core indicated porosities ranging from 1.6% to 6.7% and low permeability, all as expected. This analysis also indicated that the core fluids contained 90% oil and 10% water. Oil was observed dripping from the core which indicated that it is "movable". Furthermore, no water was apparent on the logs in either the Owen-3 pilot hole or the Owen-3H well.

from PFC werent going to be enough for the price to hold

nasty

purchased another parcel at 07's .....the long view just became.....looooooong view....

 

[Joules MM1]

todays large buy volume mid morning in a period that wouldnt expect to see such action....something afoot, watson.....

sniff sniff

 

[Joules MM1]

purchased another parcel at 07's ...

expect a 'please explain' note from the mod squad later today

PetroFrontier Corp. announces Statoil to fully fund a US$50 million 2013/2014 exploration program in the Southern Georgina Basin

CALGARY, June 11, 2013 /CNW/ - (TSX-V: PFC) - PetroFrontier Corp. ("PetroFrontier") is pleased to announce that it has agreed to amend the existing farmin agreement with Statoil Australia Oil & Gas AS ("Statoil") whereby Statoil has committed to spend the next US$50 million throughout the remainder of 2013 and 2014 to fully fund up to a 385 km 2D seismic program and the drilling and stimulation of four to six vertical test wells (the "Amended Farmin Agreement").

Throughout 2012 and the first half of 2013, PetroFrontier and Statoil jointly spent approximately US$30 million on exploration in the Southern Georgina Basin, thereby gaining valuable geological information. Under the Amended Farmin Agreement, Statoil could spend a total of up to US$175 million by the end of 2016 before PetroFrontier will be required to contribute further. Statoil will also become the operator effective September 1, 2013.

"We have worked with our financial advisor, GMP Securities L.P., over the past five months reviewing various strategic opportunities and feel that we have reached a transaction best representing the interests of our shareholders," said Paul Bennett, President and CEO of PetroFrontier. "We are very pleased that Statoil is clearly interested in the exploration of the Southern Georgina Basin. Its commitment to further explore the basin is a very positive indication of their belief in the prospectivity of the area. In addition, while retaining a significant working interest, we eliminate our US$10 million capital commitment and our need to raise additional financing."

"We believe the Southern Georgina Basin asset to be potentially very prospective and we are happy to assume operatorship for this 14 million acre area. This deal is in line with our exploration strategy where we pursue access early and at scale to de-risk the plays and grow organically through exploration activities. We will continue the good work done by PetroFrontier with the aim of clarifying the prospectivity", said Vice President Vidar Skjæveland in Statoil's onshore exploration unit.

With working capital of approximately $11.3 million at March 31, 2013, no debt and reduced operating expenses going forward, as a result of the Amended Farmin Agreement, PetroFrontier is now positioned for new growth opportunities.

Under the terms of the Amended Farmin Agreement, up to the next US$160 million of exploration costs will be fully funded by Statoil over three phases to the end of 2016, in return for 80% of PetroFrontier's working interest ("WI") in EP 103/EP 104 (100% WI), EP 127/EP 128 (75% WI) and EPA 213/EPA 252 (100% WI) in the Southern Georgina Basin, Northern Territory, Australia (collectively the "Permits").

Phase 1 & 2A (2013 and 2014):
Statoil will spend the next US$50 million on exploration (PetroFrontier - nil) and assume operatorship on September 1, 2013

At the end of Phase 2A, Statoil will have the option to continue to Phase 2B; if Statoil elects not to continue, it must return to PetroFrontier 50% of its former WI in the Permits, such that ownership will then be: Statoil (30%), PetroFrontier (70%)
Phase 2B (2015):
Upon proceeding to Phase 2B, Statoil will spend the next US$30 million on exploration (PetroFrontier - nil)

At the end of Phase 2B, Statoil will have the option to continue to Phase 3; if Statoil elects not to continue to Phase 3, then it must return to PetroFrontier 25% of its former WI in the Permits, such that ownership will then be Statoil (55%), PetroFrontier (45%)
Phase 3 (2016):
Upon proceeding to Phase 3, Statoil will spend the next US$80 million on exploration (PetroFrontier - nil)

At the end of Phase 3, Statoil will own 80% and PetroFrontier will own 20% of PetroFrontier's former WI in the Permits


At the end of Phase 3, Statoil will have completed its funding obligations under the Amended Farmin Agreement and the sharing of future costs between Statoil and PetroFrontier will be based on their then respective ownership interests.

These amendments are subject to satisfaction of certain conditions precedent, including the approval of the Foreign Investment Review Board of Australia and the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. Upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent (expected to be satisfied on or before July 1, 2013), PetroFrontier's strategic review process announced on December 4, 2012 will have been successfully completed.

After selling out around two years ago at just under 3c bkp has never been fully off my radar and it has now come back for me. With things moving very slowly and a few anns due by the end of this year I have started slow accumulation at .004 ~.006

I am taking a long term view with plans to hold for next 3+ years if things are looking positive.

I guess I am posting this as recently I have been getting excited about baraka again after a long break, maybye its so if we ever make multi bagger I can say here is the proof , looking to accumulate around 1 mil shares at sub 1c price which ever comes first.

I still value the Scott Ryder report, things have just been going nowhere since the release with a big spec spike, if the report is correct and management do one day manage to get things going this stock is very undervalued to me.

I held CTP once at 3 times of what it is worth today and see them as a good indicator a sense for what the future might hold for bkp.

I am not aiming at promoting bkp as a next big thing that's about to boom but taking a long term hold and not selling out at 100 200 or 500 % gains. 3 - 10 years time frame is what I am locked in to hold unless things go totally pear shaped.

nothing moving....crude being hit hard isnt a great back drop and a farm-in being accused of price fixing, but, mostly, there's no sign that anyone has an intheknow buy going on here....
