Senex Energy Limited (Senex) is set to commence a two well oil exploration program with Ambassador Oil and Gas Limited (Ambassador) following the release of the Century Drilling Rig 3 from the Talaq-1 well site following successful completion of drilling and casing. Talaq-1 is now suspended awaiting fracture stimulation.
Century Rig 3 is currently rigging up at the Shocking-1 well site in PEL 516 (Senex: 100%), 65 km south-east of Moomba. Shocking-1 is the first of two conventional oil wells to be drilled in joint venture with Ambassador following the execution of a farm-in agreement.
The Shocking-1 well is targeting mean recoverable oil potential of greater than 250,000 barrels of oil primarily from the Murta, McKinlay, and Birkhead formations. Secondary targets include the Mid-Namur and Hutton Sandstone formations.
Under the terms of the farm-in agreement, Ambassador will pay 100% of drilling costs to earn a 60% interest in each successful prospect. Following the drilling of Shocking-1, Century Drilling Rig 3 will move to the second farm-out well location, Kruger-1 (refer attached map).

Senex Energy Limited (Senex) has been advised by Santos Limited, the operator of the ATP 752P joint venture in the Queensland Cooper Basin, that the Cuisinier-5 oil appraisal well has been cased and suspended as a future oil producer after successfully intersecting a 12.8 metre gross oil column.
The Cuisinier-5 appraisal well spudded on 10 June 2012 and reached a total depth of 1,751 metres on 13 June 2012. Wire line logs confirmed the presence of a 12.8 metre gross oil column in the oil-bearing sands of the
Murta Formation over the interval 1,632.0 to 1,644.8 metres with interpreted net oil pay of 2.0 metres.
Cuisinier-5 is the second of four wells to be drilled in the Barta Block in the current drilling campaign. Cuisinier-6, the next well in the schedule, is expected to spud this weekend, and will be followed an exploration well.
Saxon Rig 184 has now mobilised to the Cuisinier-6 location, approximately 1,300 metres northeast of the Cuisinier-1 discovery well. Drilling of the well is scheduled to begin on the 23 June 2012, targeting a total depth of 1,754 metres.
They have also completed the institutional portion of $155m cap raising.
