中央石油有限公司（Central Petroleum Limited）宣布已完成从ADZ Energy（DZ Energy）收购位于奥特威盆地（Otway Basins）和库珀盆地（Cooper Basins）陆上极具前景的常规勘探许可证权益。ADZ

是这些矿权区的作业者。中央

石油有限公司和ADZ计划在未来18个月内，在上述矿权区内至少钻探三口勘探
井，其中首口井是位于维多利亚州奥特威盆地PEP 169区块的Enterprise North井，该井采用振幅支撑法，计划于2026年下半年钻探。Enterprise

North井是PEP 169区块地震勘探中发现的多个天然气目标之一，所有这些目标都靠近现有管道和三个现有天然气处理厂（Iona、Otway和Athena天然气处理厂），这些设施为维多利亚州的高价值天然气市场供气。该勘探井的设计目标是，如果勘探成功，它将转化为一口生产井。

因此，只需少量井口设施即可迅速启动天然气销售。从长远来看，鉴于预期的储层渗透率和靠近市场，许可证范围内的任何枯竭储层都可能成为未来优质天然气储存的理想选择。Enterprise

North勘探井的目标是位于陆上奥特威盆地Waarre组、预计深度约2000米的天然气。Waarre组是世界级的常规储层，以其高渗透率而闻名，而Enterprise North位于已发现的渗透率超过1000毫达西的气田附近。Enterprise-1井的流量测试结果约为6200万标准立方英尺/天（据作业者Beach Energy报告）。Enterprise North勘探区所在的奥特威盆地Shipwreck Trough的大多数气田都与地震振幅异常有关，与Enterprise North观测到的异常类似。

Enterprise North 也位于一个断块内，该断块位于高产的 Enterprise 气田（2020 年发现）的上倾方向，并沿其溢流路径延伸，这进一步提高了预计的成功率。Enterprise North-1 井计划在 PEP 169 区块南部钻探，位于 Enterprise 气田以北约 2.5 公里处，距离 Iona 气田西南仅 8.5 公里。PEP

169 区块位于维多利亚州奥特威盆地。
据 Central 公司估计，Enterprise North 区块 Waarre C 地层的天然气储量高达 790 亿立方英尺（Central 公司占 20% 的份额：约 160 亿立方英尺）。Waarre A 地层和 Eumerella 地层可能存在额外的勘探前景，但这些次要目标的资源量估算尚未正式完成。P50

成功结果的模型表明，Enterprise North 区块可能的天然气产量将使 Central 公司目前的天然气产量几乎翻一番。鉴于目标地层的高渗透性，我们预计在相对较短的三年内，将生产超过一半的天然气，这得益于该地层的预期高渗透性和高流量。

如果成功，Enterprise North项目或许可证中已确定的其他几个重要天然气目标中的任何一个，都将为Central公司带来巨大的价值提升，预计现场天然气价格强劲，且所需的基础设施资本支出相对较低。由于维多利亚州市场天然气价格高企，且考虑到许可证区域靠近市场，运输成本相对较低，Enterprise North供应的天然气有望获得较高的现场天然气价格和利润率。 除了PEP 169之外，Central公司还收购了多个Cooper Basin PRL和PEL 677的49%权益。Cooper

Basin 是一个成熟且资源丰富的石油产区，拥有众多历史和近期发现的油气资源。尽管周边区域一直在进行勘探和发现，但勘探相关区块（PRL）自2016年至2025年一直处于暂停状态，至今已闲置9年。在2024年，即2025年1月解除暂停之前，对所有可用数据进行了详细审查并评估了勘探前景。已确定多个油气目标，预计将于2027年上半年启动其中两到三个目标的勘探钻井。钻井计划将在正在进行的地震数据重处理项目完成后最终确定，该项目旨在进一步降低这些极具吸引力的钻井目标的风险。




库珀盆地的油气发现可通过现有的天然气管道网络迅速投入运营，这些管道可接入高价值的东海岸天然气市场；此外，现有石油管道和运输走廊也可通往成熟的炼油厂和港口设施。

本ASX公告已获得董事总经理兼首席执行官Leon Devaney的批准和授权发布。

关于石油资源的更多信息：
Enterprise North拥有极具吸引力的技术成功几率，而这一成功几率本身可能被认为是保守的。维多利亚州资源局2021年的一份报告估计，维多利亚州陆上振幅支撑目标的成功率约为62%，而其他运营商报告称，奥特威盆地海上油气勘探的成功率超过90%。

目前，Enterprise North尚未获得任何石油储量或探明资源量。

本公告中包含的预期资源量代表截至2026年1月23日，根据蒙特卡罗概率体积分析得出的每个勘探目标的未风险可采量。

这些分析所需的输入数据来自与每个油气藏和油田相关的邻井和油田。所使用的采收率系数来自类似的油田生产数据。

计划于2026年下半年在Enterprise North钻探一口勘探井。

Central Petroleum Limited (锟紺entral锟�) advises it has completed the acquisition from ADZ Energy (锟紸DZ锟�) of interests in the highly prospective conventional exploration permits in the onshore Otway and Cooper Basins.

ADZ is the operator of these tenements.

Multi-well exploration program to start this year with Enterprise North
Central and ADZ are planning to drill at least three exploration wells across the tenements over the next 18 months, starting with the amplitude-supported Enterprise North well in PEP 169 (Otway Basin, Victoria), planned for 2H 2026.

Enterprise North is one of several gas targets identified on seismic in PEP 169, all of which are situated close to existing pipelines and three existing processing facilities (Iona, Otway and Athena Gas Plants) which feed into the high value Victorian gas market. The exploration well has been designed so that it will become a production well in a success scenario.

Consequently, gas sales could commence quickly with only nominal wellhead facilities required. In the longer term, any depleted reservoir in the permit could be a high-quality candidate for future gas storage given the anticipated reservoir permeability and proximity to market.

The Enterprise North exploration well will target natural gas in the Waarre Formation of the onshore Otway Basin at an estimated depth of approximately 2,000 m. The Waarre Formation is a world class conventional reservoir, known for its high permeability, and Enterprise North is located in the vicinity of discovered gas fields with permeabilities in excess of 1000 mD. The Enterprise-1 well was flow tested at ~62MMscf/d (as reported by Operator, Beach Energy). Most gas fields in the Shipwreck Trough of the Otway Basin, where the Enterprise North prospect is located, are associated with seismic amplitude anomalies, similar to those observed at Enterprise North.

Enterprise North is also located in a fault block just updip and along the spill path from the prolific Enterprise gas field (discovered in 2020), further improving estimated chance of success. The Enterprise North-1 well is planned to be drilled in the southern part of PEP 169, approximately 2.5 km north of the Enterprise gas field and only 8.5 km southwest of the Iona Gas Field.

PEP 169 锟� Otway Basin, Victoria
Central estimates there to be up to 79 Bcf of gas in place in the Waarre C formation at Enterprise North (Central 20% share: ~16 Bcf). Additional prospectivity may exist in the Waarre A and Eumerella formations but resource estimation for these secondary targets has not yet been formally completed.

Modelling of a P50 success outcome indicates that possible gas production rates at Enterprise North results in a near doubling of Central锟絪 current gas production rates. Given the high permeability of the target formations, we anticipate producing over half of the gas over a relatively short 3-year period given the formation锟絪 expected high permeability and flow rates.

If successful, the Enterprise North project or any of the several other significant gas targets already identified in the permit, would be highly value accretive to Central, with strong ex-field gas pricing expected and relatively low infrastructure CAPEX required. Gas supplied from Enterprise North is likely to command strong ex-field gas prices and margin due to high gas prices in the Victorian market and relatively low transportation costs given the permit锟絪 proximity to market.

Cooper Basin joint venture
In addition to PEP 169, Central has also acquired a 49% interest in multiple Cooper Basin PRLs and PEL 677.

The Cooper Basin is a mature and well-established petroleum province with numerous historic and recent discoveries. Whilst there has been ongoing exploration and discoveries in the surrounding acreage, the PRLs were in suspension from 2016 until 2025 and have lain dormant for 9 years. Over the course of CY24, prior to lifting the suspension in January 2025, detailed reviews of all available data were conducted and prospectivity assessed. A number of oil and gas targets were identified and exploration drilling of two to three of these targets is expected to commence in 1H 2027. Drilling plans will be finalised following conclusion of an ongoing seismic re-processing project, designed to further de-risk these attractive drilling targets.

Discoveries in the Cooper Basin can quickly be brought online via a network of existing gas pipelines accessing the high value east coast gas market, and existing oil pipelines and trucking corridors to established refineries and port facilities.

This ASX announcement was approved and authorised for release by Leon Devaney, Managing Director and CEO.

Additional information relating to petroleum resources
Enterprise North has an attractive technical chance of success which itself may be considered conservative. A 2021 report from Resources Victoria estimated a success rate of ~62% for amplitude-supported onshore targets in Victoria and other Operators have reported success rates >90% in the offshore Otway basin.

No petroleum reserves or contingent resources have been attributed to Enterprise North at this time.

The volumes of prospective resources included in this announcement represent the unrisked recoverable volumes derived from Monte Carlo probabilistic volumetric analysis for each prospect as at 23 January 2026.

Inputs required for these analyses have been derived from offset wells and fields relevant to each play and field. Recovery factors used have been derived from analogous field production data.

An exploration well is planned to be drilled at Enterprise North in 2H 2026.
