Empyrean Energy PLC ("Empyrean" or the "Company")
Duyung PSC, Operational Update
Empyrean Energy Plc, the oil and gas development company with
interests in China, Indonesia and the United States, is pleased to
provide an operational update in relation to the upcoming drilling
campaign at the Duyung PSC in the West Natuna basin, offshore
Indonesia, in which Empyrean holds an 8.5% interest.
Empyrean has been advised that the Asian Endeavour-1 jack up
rig, owned by China Oilfield Services Limited ("COSL"), has
mobilised from Singapore and is now en-route to the location for
the first well in the drilling campaign. Drilling operations are
expected to commence on time and a further announcement will be
made when rigging up is complete and drilling operations
commence.
The campaign will comprise of two wells, an appraisal well
designed to primarily appraise the intra-Muda sandstone reservoir
(Mako gas field discovery) in the southern area of the Mako field
and an exploration well designed to test the Tambak prospect
beneath the central area of the Mako gas field, after appraising
the Mako gas field at that location. For further information on the
drilling campaign, refer to the announcement made on 19 August
2019.
The information contained in this announcement has been reviewed
by Empyrean's Executive Technical director, Gaz Bisht, who has over
29 years' experience as a hydrocarbon geologist and
geoscientist.

The Mako Gas Field, Duyung PSC, Offshore Indonesia
The Mako gas field is an extremely large, shallow structural
closure, with an area extent of over 350 square km. The reservoir
is a Pliocene-age sandstone, with a gas-water contact at
approximately 391m true vertical depth sub-sea. The field has
excellent seismic definition with direct hydrocarbon indicators
being very evident.
Having been drilled but not tested by prior operators of the
acreage, the commercial viability of the Mako gas field was
demonstrated by the Mako South-1 well drilled by Empyrean and its
partner and operator, Conrad Petroleum Limited in 2017. The well
was drilled to core and test the Mako reservoir, flowing up to 10.8
MMscf/d of dry gas on test. Overall four wells have penetrated the
reservoir section, and while further appraisal is planned given the
huge areal extent of the field, the reservoir distribution is
reasonably well understood.
The Mako field is located in the prolific West Natuna basin,
approximately 16 km from the WNTS pipeline system which delivers
gas from Indonesia to Singapore. A plan of development has recently
been approved by Indonesian authorities and initial gas marketing
discussions have commenced, with a gas buyer in Singapore for the
Mako gas. An independent report on the field's potential was
recently carried out by Gaffney Cline & Associates, giving a 2C
recoverable resource assessment of 276 Bcf and 392 Bcf of 3C
recoverable resources.
Near Field Exploration Potential, To Be Tested in 2019
A series of prospects both beneath and above the Mako field have
been mapped. Of particular note is the Tambak (formerly 'Mako
Deep') prospect, a Lower Gabus structure that sits beneath the
northern end of the Mako field. The target interval within Tambak
exhibits seismic amplitude brightening, conformable with structural
closure. The prospect has a prospective resource range of 200 to
300 Bcf with a mid-case 250 Bcf and a CoS of 45%.
At the southern end of the field, over the structure's crest,
sits the Mako Shallow prospect. This again shows a very strong
direct hydrocarbon indicators on seismic, conformable with closure
in shallow Muda sandstones. The Shallow Muda prospect has potential
to add a further 100 Bcf of recoverable resources and a very high
CoS of 75%.
