Carnarvon Energy CEO discusses partial Bedout divestment

Carnarvon Energy Limited is an Australia-based independent oil and gas explorer. The Company’s principal activities are oil and gas exploration, development and production. The Company secured its interests in the Bedout Sub-Basin permits, WA-435-P, WA-436-P, WA-437-P and WA-438-P. The offshore permits cover an area of 21,652 square kilometers (km2), which is located approximately 110 kilometers (km) from the coast, offshore of Port Hedland in Western Australia. The Pavo North oil discovery was made with the Pavo-1 well intersecting reservoirs and confirming net oil pay across a zone of 46 meters. Pavo lies in offshore permit WA-438-P, where Carnarvon holds a 20% interest. The Company’s core exploration portfolio offshore Western Australia contains more than 100 prospects, providing plenty of running room in the emerging Bedout sub-basin. It holds a 10% interest in WA-435-p and WA-437-P.
