Cooper Basin JV to Undertake Seismic in 3 SA's Petroleum Retention Licenses

Tellus Resources Ltd (TLU or the Company) provided Friday the following update on its Cooper Basin JV with Senex Energy Ltd (Senex). As advised previously, the Company’s Cooper Basin exploration interests have now been converted to three Petroleum Retention Licences in South Australia viz: PRL 108, 109 and 110.

The Operator of the JV (Senex) was to drill a well in the Permit by Sept. 30 as part of a farmin agreement announced previously.

The parties have agreed that the expenditure be used in extra 3D seismic (approximately 19.3 square miles or 50 square kilometers) and 3D seismic reprocessing; with the potential to complete and production test the Pirie 1 exploration well previously cased and suspended.

In the Company’s view, this program would add significantly more value to the PRLs than a well alone.

Both parties have indicated their willingness to move forward as quickly as possible (the seismic will be tied in with a survey by the Operator which is commencing late 2014 early 2015) and the appropriate budgets and work plans are being put in place now.

Following the completion of the agreed work, TLU will have an interest of 30 percent in the PRLs with Senex at 70 percent and operatorship.

For the Company, this interest equates to a net acreage position in the Cooper Basin of 16,500 acres with up to 15 years of tenure.
