ASX RELEASE DRILLING REPORT NO. 6 FOR DUNNART-2 IN EP437, PERTH BASIN, WESTERN AUSTRALIA FOR THE PERIOD 0600 HOURS 18 AUGUST 2014 TO 1630 HOURS 19 AUGUST 2014
Key Petroleum Limited ("Key") advises that during the period since the issue of Drilling Report No. 5 the Operator drilled ahead in 8 ½" hole from 495m in the Woodada Formation to 612.0m in the Kockatea Shale. Two significant and encouraging gas shows were recorded within the Kockatea Shale.
These significant gas shows were 33.70 units of total gas at 528.9m and 27.3 units of total gas at 530.5m. Sandstones intersected with gas peaks are interpreted to be the Arranoo Sandstone within the Lower Triassic aged Kockatea Shale and are approximately ten times the background gas recorded in this section of the Kockatea Shale. These gas peaks will be evaluated by electric wireline logs.
The Woodada Formation was intersected at 482.5m RT and was high to prognosis as was the Kockatea Shale at
503m RT.
Current depth at 1630 today was 612.0m RT drilling ahead within the Kockatea Shale towards the primary objective
Bookara Sandstone expected to be intersected with a top predicted at 616m RT.
Daily drilling reports to the ASX will continue until all drilling and formation evaluation of Dunnart-2 has been completed.

14. | Operations since last Report: | Drilling ahead in 8 ½" hole from 495m in the Woodada Formation to 612.0m in the Kockatea Shale at 1630 hours, 19 August 2014. The Kockatea is the regional seal. | |
15. | Current Operations: | Drilling ahead in 8 ½" hole in the Kockatea Shale to the primary reservoir objective, Bookara Sandstone predicted at 616m. | |
16. | Future Operations: | Drill 8 ½" hole to the primary objective Bookara Sandstones and evaluate. Testing personnel are on site. | |
17. | Prospect Description: | The Dunnart prospect is a well-defined moderate relief fault closed structure with the top seal provided by the proven regional seal, the Kockatea Shale which is the source rock for oil discovered to date in the North Perth Basin. The Bookara Sandstone is middle to upper shoreface sand which laps the south-western margin of the Northampton Block. Dunnart-1 encountered good oil shows in Bookara sands but was never tested or cored. Estimated prospective resources in the best case estimate are 2 million barrels under SPE-PRMS guidelines. | |
