Cervantes-1 Rig Mobilising

Melbourne, Mar 18, 2022 AEST (ABN Newswire) - Vintage Energy Ltd (googlechartASX:VEN) announces mobilisation of the Ensign 970 drilling rig to the Cervantes-1 well site in the onshore Perth Basin licence L14.

Cervantes-1 is an oil exploration well addressing a high side fault trap assessed to contain gross recoverable Prospective Resources (P50) of 15.3 million barrels of oil (4.6 million barrels net to Vintage). The chance of success has been estimated at 28%.

Cervantes-1 is located on-trend with the producing Cliff Head, Jingemia and Hovea oil fields and will target Permian sandstone reservoir targets which have been prolific producers in the Perth Basin.

The well will be drilled by the L14 Cervantes Joint Venture comprising Vintage earning 30%, Metgasco Ltd earning 30% and RCMA Australia Pty Ltd ("RCMA"), 40%. Vintage will earn its stake in any Cervantes discovery in the targeted Permian reservoirs through funding 50% of the cost of Cervantes-1 (with Metgasco to fund the remaining 50% to earn its stake). The well is to be operated by RCMA, with drilling management services supplied by Aztech Well Construction Pty Ltd.

Mobilisation is expected to take approximately 7 days with the well spudding shortly thereafter.

Vintage is fully funded to meet its share of expected costs for the Cervantes well through the recent placement and share purchase plan which raised funds for future exploration projects and other capital expenditure planned for the company's portfolio.
