Whitebark Power Ltd. (WBE) has exercised its possibility to accumulate the remaining 30 p.c shares in Officer Power Pty. Ltd., taking full management of what it stated is a “big” potential in its Officer Basin acreage onshore South Australia.
Officer Power not directly owns PEL 81 and PEL 253, in response to Whitebark. “Exercising the choice supplies the corporate with full management of the permits and timing of the Alinya Venture”, it stated in a press release on-line. “The extra fairness supplies scope to supply larger participation to 3rd events in any future farm-in course of.

Earlier this month the Adelaide-based firm introduced outcomes from two separate assessments for the permits.
Sproule ERCE estimated 3U (P10) gross potential sources of 1.2 billion kilograms of hydrogen and 209 billion cubic toes of helium for the Rickerscote Prospect with a 7-17 p.c geological likelihood of success.
In the meantime Fluid Power Consultants’ evaluation declared the 3U gross potential useful resource for PEL 81 to be 4.3 trillion cubic toes of fuel and 1.3 billion barrels of liquids.
“The large Rickerscote Prospect is the biggest construction within the acreage and Fluid has an assessed 2U potential useful resource of 1.06 Tcf fuel and 145 million barrels of liquids in complete (707 Bcf fuel; 97 million barrels of liquids WBE share)”, Whitebark stated August 7.
“Further prospects Milford and Milford East, positioned proximally to Rickerscote, are assessed by Fluid to have potential sources on a mixed 2U foundation of 58 Bcf fuel and 181 million barrels of liquids in complete (39 Bcf fuel; 121 million barrels of liquids WBE share)”.
Rickerscote is the most important prospect within the Alinya Venture, which straddles PEL 81 and PEL 253. Rickerscote is likely one of the largest, undrilled, seismically outlined, sub-salt constructions onshore Australia, in response to Whitebark. Rickerscote includes a number of, stacked reservoir targets and exceeds 180 sq. kilometers (69.5 sq. miles) of closure or productive space, in response to the corporate.
“Sproule ERCE has confirmed that each one the mandatory parts exist within the Officer Basin for the era and storage of hydrogen and helium”, Whitebark stated August 12.
“PELs 253 and 81 have confirmed standard reservoirs and salt seals straight overlying basement. A granitic supply has the potential to generate substantial free hydrogen over geological time as seen in close by basins.
“Success at Rickerscote will unlock the Officer Basin and set up these historic onshore basins as world-class hydrogen and helium provinces”.
Whitebark director Richard King stated, “The impartial estimates of potential sources made by Sproule ERCE validate our robust perception within the world-class potential of our acreage within the Officer Basin. Not solely is it potential for hydrocarbons however, in our view, is likely one of the finest locations on the planet to check for conventionally reservoired pure hydrogen and helium. PELs 253 and 81 have the appropriate rocks and the correct quantity of time for such a system to work”.
