Following these reviews, Advent have provided an increase in the 'best estimate' (P50 level) to 13.2 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of prospective gas resources. Prospects and leads within the Permo-Triassic sedimentary sequence were estimated to contain 6.0 Tcf (P50) whilst estimates for the Cainozoic sedimentary sequence are 7.2 Tcf (P50).

The Ocean Patriot has been contracted to drill PEP11 in the Offshore Sydney Basin. PEP11 is being progressed with joint venture partner Bounty Oil and Gas (ASX: BUY).

An exact date for drilling is yet to be determined and is contingent upon pre-existing contracts between the other parties.  The range of dates to commence drilling in PEP 11 is within the third quarter of 2010, with operations currently planned for mid August and expected to take approximately 25 days.

MEC Resources' investee Advent Energy Ltd is pleased to advise that it has commenced procurement of long lead items and selected/awarded key service providers for the drilling of PEP 11 in the offshore Sydney Basin. Key contracts include, wellhead and surface conductor, casing and Helicopters.

By engaging these key suppliers Advent is well prepared for its anticipated drilling later in 2010.

The first tranche of this work is expected to be completed by the end of November, including coverage of the primary drilling target area. 

The reprocessing, developed by Fugro Multi-Client Services over the last six months, has shown marked improvement from the original processed data.  As a result, Fugro were contracted to reprocess in tranches the entirety of the 2004 Baleen 2D Seismic Data.

The object of the survey is to detect transients of secondary magnetic fields associated with micro-seepage plumes and REDOX cells over hydrocarbon reservoirs.  In addition to the Weaber Gas Field in RL1, there are a number of leads and prospects in EP386 and RL1 as well as unknown prospectivity in much of the permits.  The aim of the survey is to upgrade these various prospects in EP386 and RL1 for further evaluation for drilling.

Advent holds a 100% interest in each of EP386 and RL1.

Advent, through wholly owned subsidiary Asset Energy Pty Ltd, was required to submit an Environmental Plan (EP) to the NSW DPI for its proposed exploration activities in PEP11. 

The NSW DPI has subsequently advised that the geophysical site survey component of the EP has been accepted, pursuant to the Commonwealth Peroleum (Submerged Lands) (Management of Environment) Regulations 1999.

Advent has previously reported the prospective P10 unrisked gas resource estimate of 16.3 trillion cubic feet for the permit (ASX: MMR 27 October 2008), as residing in deeper, structural Permo-Triassic targets associated with the Offshore Uplift. 

PEP11 covers a very large area (over 8,100km2). In addition to the aforementioned prospects, further examination of features in the Cainozoic sediment wedge overlying the Permo-Triassic sediments along the Sydney Basin continental shelf has demonstrated "soft" high amplitude anomalies (reverse polarity to the water bottom reflector) that are observed along sequential seismic lines continuously over considerable (>60 km) lateral NE-SW extent.
