Petrofrontier verfügt in Australien über vier gewaltige Ölschieferprojekte.
Ölressourcen von 27,5 Milliarden Barrel.
Es hängt viel von den ersten Bohrungen ab die am Ende der Regensaison im März
wieder starten sollen.
Wenn hier ein Volltreffer gelandet wird dann gehts ab.
Langfrisitg sind Kurse von minimum 5€ drinne.
Bohrprogramm Phase 2 (2012) wird dann richtig intressant. Öl & Gas gewinnbringend förderbar???
Zwischen Phase 1 & 2 ein JV Partner? und wenn ja, wer???
Wetter: Spielt das Wetter (Regen) wieder verrückt und es kommt wieder zu Verzögerungen oder kann PFC mal zuarbeiten?
Ein paar Gedanken :)

PETROFRONTIER CORP. CONFIRMSRIG MOBILIZATION TO SOUTHERN GEORGINA BASIN, AUSTRALIA
Calgary, Alberta – May 30, 2012 (TSX-V: PFC) - PetroFrontier Corp. (“PetroFrontier”) is
very pleased to announce that Ensign’s Rig 918 is currently mobilizing to the MacIntyre-2
well site location in the northeastern corner of EP 127 in the Southern Georgina Basin,
Northern Territory. It is expected that the Ensign drilling equipment will be onsite by early June 2012 and that the Southern Georgina Basin operational activities will resume during the week of June 4, 2012.
This first phase of the 2012 capital program will focus on the drilling of the horizontal leg at MacIntyre-2, which is expected to take approximately two weeks. Once the drilling is
completed, PetroFrontier will have earned a 75% working interest and operatorship in EP
127.
After drilling MacIntyre-2H, the Ensign rig will re-locate approximately 300 km to the eastern border of EP 104 to drill a high angle pilot hole at the third location, Owen-3 in EP 104 (100% working interest) and if PetroFrontier considers conditions to be favorable, a subsequent horizontal section at that same location. Mobilization of Ensign Rig 918 to the Owen -3 well site is anticipated to take one week, with the expected drilling timeline for the vertical and horizontal sections at Owen-3H being approximately four weeks.
Subsequent to this drilling activity, the second phase of the 2012 capital program will
commence with the mobilization of a coil tubing unit and service rig for the completion,
fracturing and flow testing of Baldwin-2Hst1 (EP 103), MacIntyre-2H (EP 127) and Owen-3H (EP 104), in that order. Both the Baldwin-2Hst1 and the MacIntyre-2 wells encountered very encouraging hydrocarbon responses while they were being drilled in the latter part of 2011.
This type of unconventional oil play requires the use of advanced horizontal drilling and
completion techniques to be economic, and the use of proven North American technologies is expected to give PetroFrontier a good chance of establishing commercial production.

To me this seems like a no brainer!
Let me see if I have this right:
After PP we will have ~80M shares o/s @$1 for a $80M mkt cap
This gets us 35% of $230M in capex or ~$80M
So we basically get for free
1) 35% of the sunk costs or $37M
2) 100% financing
3) 100% of 2012 & 2013 earnings
4) 75% of 2014 & 2015 earnings
5) 50% of 2016 earnings
6) 35% on earnings thereafter on this tiny prospective recoverable oil resource of 27.5 billion barrels
Amazing!

It is the first time I see a company farm in with a junior for shale and doesn't want to finance the phase 1. This is very negative. The market doen't like that at all. I understand.

Wann will Petrofrontier denn erstmals Öl/Gas liefern??? Oder was bedeutet das hier? Denn dann kann der Kurs ja noch ewig im Keller bleiben...

zusammen eine Infrastruktur auf. Letztendlich zeigt ja das Investment von Statoil, dass die Assets schon interessant sind. Die Zeitachse ist trotzdem sehr sehr lange...ich dachte immer,die würden dieses Jahr mal was fördern...
bevor sie Baldwin-2Hst1 (EP 103), MacIntyre-2H & (Owen-3) fracen können & müssen sie noch Owen-3 bohren. (Im Zusammenhang Bewilligung). Hier geht noch viel Zeit ins Land bis wir wissen ob die Geschichte wirtschaftlich ist.

CALGARY, June 25, 2012 /CNW/ - (TSX-V: PFC) - PetroFrontier Corp. ("PetroFrontier") is pleased to announce that it has successfully completed the drilling of its second horizontal well ("MacIntyre-2H") in the Southern Georgina Basin, Northern Territory, Australia. MacIntyre-2H is located in the northeastern part of EP 127, approximately 60 km from the Baldwin-2Hst1 well, which PetroFrontier successfully drilled in late 2011.
MacIntyre-2H reached a total measured depth of 1,916 metres and stayed within the primary target zone, the Lower Arthur Creek "Hot Shale" Formation, for approximately 1,080 metres, recording positive hydrocarbon indications along the entire length of the horizontal section. A multistage open-hole completion string will now be placed in the well before the drilling rig moves on to drill PetroFrontier's third horizontal well, Owen-3. Thereafter, a fracture stimulation program is expected to be carried out at each of Baldwin-2Hst1, MacIntyre-2H and Owen-3H.
Although the drilling results from MacIntyre-2H are encouraging, this well remains a high-risk exploration venture. Readers are cautioned that no reserves have been proven by this well.
Update - Statoil Farm-in
Pursuant to the recently announced joint venture /Farm-In Agreement with Statoil Australia Oil & Gas AS, a wholly owned subsidiary of Statoil ASA of Norway ("Statoil"), Statoil and PetroFrontier will each contribute US$25.0 million to PetroFrontier's current 2012 - 2013 Phase 1 exploration program. PetroFrontier is being credited with exploration expenditures already incurred in 2012. Upon completion of Phase 1, Statoil may elect to commit to Phase 2 or withdraw completely whereupon Statoil will have earned no working interest in the lands.
Upon committing to Phase 2, Statoil must pay US$25.0 million to PetroFrontier and commit to spend 80% of the next US$100.0 million in the Phase 2 program. Only at that time, will Statoil have earned a 25% interest in PetroFrontier's acreage. In summary, to complete Phase 2, Statoil must spend US$50.0 million and commit to spend an additional US$80.0 million to earn an initial 25% interest in the lands.
During Phase 2, which is scheduled to occur during calendar years 2014 and 2015, PetroFrontier's US$20.0 million exploration contribution will be funded out of the US$25 million paid to it by Statoil. Furthermore, if Statoil elects to proceed with Phase 3 which is expected to occur during calendar 2016 and beyond, PetroFrontier will not be required to contribute any additional funds until Statoil has spent the next US$80.0 million. Since PetroFrontier's net exploration costs to the end of Phase 3 will only be US$20.0 million (during which time Statoil's commitment will be US$210.0 million), PetroFrontier will not require additional equity funding to meet its obligations under the Farm-In Agreement to the end of Phase 3.
Statoil's involvement validates PetroFrontier's understanding of the exploration potential of the Southern Georgina Basin and will allow PetroFrontier to more rapidly explore and develop its exceptionally large acreage position of over 14 million acres. Statoil brings exceptional technical capabilities, being currently heavily involved in North American unconventional resource plays, such as the Bakken, Marcellus and Eagle Ford.
"With success, the full value of this Farm-In Agreement will be captured and we are committed, in partnership with PetroFrontier, to realizing the potential of the Southern Georgina Basin. We look forward to the possibilities", said Vidar Skjaeveland, Statoil's Vice President, New Ventures.

CALGARY, July 9, 2012 /CNW/ - (TSX-V: PFC) - PetroFrontier Corp. ("PetroFrontier") is pleased to announce the spudding of its third horizontal well, "Owen-3", in the Southern Georgina Basin, Northern Territory, Australia. Owen-3 is located in the eastern part of Exploration Permit ("EP") 104 where PetroFrontier currently holds a 100% operated working interest and is included in the recently announced joint venture area with Statoil Australia Oil and Gas AS ("Statoil"). Statoil is crediting PetroFrontier with exploration expenditures already incurred in 2012 and will contribute 50% of the costs associated with this project.
Owen-3 will test the unconventional potential of the primary target zone, the Lower Arthur Creek "Hot Shale", in the Toko Synclinal area. Owen-3 will be drilled as a high angle pilot hole to an estimated depth of 1,280 metres, through the Lower Arthur Creek "Hot Shale" Formation and into the Thorntonian carbonate Formation. PetroFrontier will core the Lower Arthur Creek "Hot Shale" Formation and then log the well. The core will provide valuable technical information to enhance PetroFrontier's understanding of the lithology of this formation, which will aid in optimizing the frac design and reservoir modeling. Owen-3 will be plugged back a short distance and then deviated horizontally for approximately 1,000 metres into the primary target zone. Drilling of Owen-3 is expected to take four to five weeks.
Fracture Stimulation Update
Following the drilling of Owen-3H, PetroFrontier intends to conduct a ten-stage fracture stimulation program at each of its three wells in the following order: MacIntyre-2H, Baldwin-2Hst1 and Owen-3H. In order to maximize operational efficiencies, the wells will then be flow tested in the reverse order. The Lower Arthur Creek "Hot Shale" Formation is an unconventional play requiring the use of advanced horizontal drilling and completion techniques in order to properly test for economic flow rates. PetroFrontier will provide market updates on the frac operations as results materialize and definitive results will be confirmed once PetroFrontier can flow test all of these wells, which is expected to occur over the next few months and prior to the onset of the local Australian wet season.

CALGARY, July 11, 2012 /CNW/ - (TSX-V: PFC) - PetroFrontier Corp. ("PetroFrontier") announces that it has received a notice of termination from Macquarie Capital Markets Canada Inc. ("Macquarie") terminating its obligations pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement made effective June 20, 2012 (the "Underwriting Agreement"), whereby Macquarie had agreed to purchase on a bought deal basis 15,000,000 subscription receipts at a price of $1.00 per subscription receipt. The notice of termination received from Macquarie did not provide the reason for Macquarie terminating its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement. Management of PetroFrontier is of the view that Macquarie did not have a valid legal reason to terminate the Underwriting Agreement and PetroFrontier is currently reviewing it options in this regard.
Financial Update
Pursuant to the recently announced joint venture between Statoil Australia Oil and Gas AS ("Statoil") and PetroFrontier, each of the parties has already contributed US$15 million to fund the 2012 capital program. Management believes PetroFrontier has sufficient capital on hand to fund operations throughout 2012. However, additional capital will be required in order to fund 2013 operations including PetroFrontier's remaining commitment of US$10 million under the Phase I joint exploration program with Statoil. Management is currently considering alternative sources of financing to replace some or all of the funds that would have been raised pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement.
