Highlights
Drilling permit for the Welchau-1 well has been granted by the Mining Authority, acting on behalf of
The permit allows drilling, testing, and potential extended production testing of Welchau-1.
Environmental clearance marks the final permitting step, backed by an expert's report and stakeholder consultation.
Well-site construction is anticipated to commence during the 4th quarter of 2023, immediately followed by drilling operations.
The Welchau prospect is mapped as covering over 100 square km in size and could contain significant reserves of gas and condensate.
MCF Energy identified the Welchau prospect area as a high-priority opportunity for
A drilling permit ('Drilling Permit') for the Welchau-1 well has been issued by the Mining Authority on behalf of the
The Drilling Permit allows ADX to drill and test the Welchau-1 well and undertake a longer-term production test if required. The Drilling Permit is associated with two designated rig types: a drilling rig and a workover rig. These rigs are supplied by
The final step in the permitting process involves obtaining an environmental clearance ('Environmental Clearance').This clearance will enable the drilling and testing of the Welchau-1 well in accordance with the Drilling Permit. The process for Environmental Clearance is based on evaluating a report by a government-appointed expert, which has been completed and submitted to the local authorities in
Operational Readiness
All essential items for drilling the Welchau-1 well have been procured. The drilling will take place within a pre-existing rig services contract with RED. The drilling and related services will mainly involve skilled local personnel from
'The prospect is located up-dip from a 1989 gas discovery (Molln-1 well), which had a gas column of at least 400 metres and tested condensate-rich, pipeline quality gas at a maximum flow rate of 3.5 MMCFD A successful outcome at Welchau could be a significant catalyst for MCF Energy given the size of the Welchau anticline.'

Oil and Gas Advisories
The term 'boe' means barrel of oil equivalent on the basis of 1 boe to 6,000 cubic feet of natural gas. Boe may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of 1 boe for 6,000 cubic feet of natural gas is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. 'Boe/d' and boepd' mean barrel of oil equivalent per day. Bbl means barrel of oil and 'bopd' means barrels of oil per day. NGLs means natural gas liquids.
This press release contains certain oil and gas metrics and defined terms which do not have standardized meanings: BCFE = Billions of cubic feet equivalent
MMBOE = Millions of barrels of oil equivalent
MMCFD = Millions cubic feet per day
