Melbana Energy Ltd would like to congratulate the EOG team in their work
towards receiving environmental approval to drill the Beehive exploration well in WA-488-P,
offshore Western Australia.
MAY sold WA-488-P in late 2021 for US$7.5 million plus future contingent cash payments
of US$5 million and royalties of US$10 million per each 25 mmboe produced. Melbana has
no funding commitments in this permit.
Beehive is aimed at testing a large Carbonate Platform opportunity that could contain up to
1.4 billion barrels of oil (Prospective Resource, high estimate).
Melbana retains 100% of the adjacent WA-544-P & NT/P87 exploration permits containing
lookalike Carbonate Platform opportunities with similar resource potential as WA-488-P.
Melbana is seeking farminee(s) to fund a forward work programme (3D seismic survey and
contingent drilling option) in the Permits.
