Perth, Feb 1, 2012 (ABN Newswire) - ADX Energy (
ASX:ADX) is pleased to provide a quarterly activities report for the period ended 31 December 2011.
Operational Highlights
Chorbane Permit, onshore Tunisia - Sidi Dhaher-1 discovery
- Laboratory analysis by Corelab (Aberdeen) of the recovered well samples confirmed that the reservoir fluids are typical live crude oil and mud filtrate with minor amounts of water.
- The oil was encountered in the thick, porous and permeable Bireno reservoir of upper Cretaceous age overlain by an 80 m sealing shale section. Down hole pressure measurements and sampling confirmed the presence of an oil column.
- Revised volume calculations based on an updated seismic interpretation and well results resulted in an ADX estimated mean contingent oil in place (OIP) resource of 51 mmbbls. The confirmation of expected recoverable volumes and resulting potential reserves are contingent upon a successful well test with the objective of proving commercial flow rates and estimation of likely recovery factors.
- Invitations to tender for a work over rig to test the discovery were sent to five potential bidders. Four bids were received and documentation formally opened in the presence of the local petroleum authority, ETAP (Enterprise Tunisienne D'Activites Petroliere).
- After selection of the winning bid, an LOI (Letter of Intent) was signed with DIETSWELL SA, for the provision of the Sedlar-160 drilling rig.
Kerkouane Permit - Sicily Channel, offshore Tunisia
In the offshore Kerkouane license, Tunisia, a seismic survey was completed under a data exchange and acquisition agreement with Shell as part of a larger program being undertaken by Shell in their adjacent Sicily Channel licenses. During the quarter the fast-track data processing was completed and the seismic interpretation commenced in the ADX Vienna office. The final PSTM (pre-stack time migration) data processing continued on schedule with a view to providing a revised interpretation of the Kerkouane discovery.
Parta License, onshore Romania
The tender process for 2D and 3D seismic acquisition in 2012 was completed. An excellent response was received with four contractors being evaluated for the final contract to be awarded in early February 2012.
Corporate/Farmins
- A placement to institutions and sophisticated investors of 25,000,000 shares at 8.0 cents each was completed to raise gross proceeds of $2,000,000.
- A share purchase plan to registered shareholders raised an additional $270,000 at 8.0 cents incorporating 3,375,000 shares.

About ADX Energy Limited
The company's strategy is two pronged; grow the European and North African oil and gas business in order to expose shareholders to the lucrative European energy market and to promote it's existing Australian energy, gold and base metal portfolio to capitalise on the current high commodity price environment.
ADX was incorporated in 1987 in order to explore for gold and base metals in Western Australia. The company has recently diversified from its initial minerals focus to include oil and gas exploration. To that effect ADX farmed in PEL 182 into the South Australian portion of the Cooper Basin in 2005.
ADX appointed Wolfgang Zimmer, an oil and gas industry professional with over 27 years experience, as Managing Director in late 2007 to grow the company’s oil and gas business. Subsequent director and staff appointments and the establishment of a European office have boosted the depth of oil and gas experience in the company and allowed the company to expand its oil and gas activities.
Currently ADX operates permits onshore and offshore Tunisia, offshore Italy and onshore Australia and holds an interest in a non operated block in onshore Romania.
ADX is also a participant and operator of a number of AMI's (Area/s of Mutual Interest) that enable it and its partners to efficiently act upon business opportunities.
