Sonoro through its wholly owned subsidiaries has a 71.5 percent working interest in a production sharing contract (PSC), plus a pending 28% working interest waiting on government approval, for the exploration rights to a 1094 square kilometer onshore area on Sulawesi Indonesia called the Budong Budong PSC. The company plans to  revisit success by drilling one to two appraisal wells on this PSC for a shallow (500m), well defined Pliocene structure, which through the previously drilled LG-1, had oil and gas shows. The Company is also pursuing other oil and gas opportunities in South East Asia where it sees significant growth opportunity.

ABOUT

 
Sonoro is an international oil and gas resource exploration and development company with a focus on Southeast Asia and its onshore Budong Budong production sharing contract in Sulawesi Indonesia. 




 

OPERATIONS

 
Budong Budong Production Sharing Contract (PSC)
Sulawesi, Indonesia


The Budong Budong Production Sharing Contract (“BB PSC”) lies on the coast of western Sulawesi almost directly opposite Balikpapan. Sonoro has remapped the shallow LG Prospect from existing 2D seismic to better define the 4-way closure drilled by the LG-1 well and has confirmed that it was drilled on the flank of the structure. More importantly Sonoro has looked in detail at the pressure data collected during the drilling of the well and confirmed that it intersected a series of hydrocarbon reservoirs with clear oil gradients. The result is that LG-1 up-dip is a oil prospect with a crest some 110 metres up-dip from LG-1 well. LG-1 up-dip is therefore a  low risk appraisal project  with all pay intervals between 200 to 600 metres depth and an estimated  TD of around 750 metres. There are at least two further follow up shallow prospects of similar if not larger size in the northern area of the PSC  and a really impressive lead in the southern area with a preliminary mapped  15km x 3km closure, a TD of around 1000 metres with an oil seep on crest but which will need more low cost seismic (weight drop 2D) to firm up.
    1. – 1,099 square km area after final relinquishment
    2. – Cost recovery of 100%
    3. – Cost recovery pool at over $80 million (unaudited)
    4. – Production Split of 62.5% to Contractor
    5. – Royalty of 10%
    6. – Exploration term expired Jan 15, 2017, extended to Jan. 15, 2018
    7. – LG-1 and KD-1 wells discovered oil and gas at shallow depths (450-750m)
    8. – Sonoro is seeking to drill one appraisal well (600m TD) by late October 2017
    9. – 20 year production term on commercial discovery and plan of development
    10. – Balikpapan refinery is 280km across straight with several ports on Sulawesi capable of export
    11. – Fast track PoD with successful appraisal wells can achieve sustained production in 2018
The Company has commenced operations for a one well appraisal drilling program on the Budong Budong license offsetting the LG-1 well.  Estimated completion date Late Q3 2017, early Q4 2017.
