Dear Sirs,
Global Petroleum Limited - June 2005 Quarterly Report
Kenya (Global 20%)
The Company has a holding of 20% in three blocks L-5, L-7, and L-11 offshore
Kenya. In regard to the fourth Block L-10 which is held by Dana (80% and
operator) and Global (20%) - the terms of an extension of the Licence including
the work programme are subject to discussion with the Kenya Government.
In L-5, L-7 and L-11 Global is in a Joint Venture with Woodside (50% and
operator in L5 and L7, and 40% and Operator in L11) and Dana Petroleum (E&P)
Limited (30% in L5 and L7 and 40% in L11). The costs associated with Global's
20% equity are carried for all activities including the drilling and testing of
two wells. In August 2004, the Company announced Woodside's intention to
continue in Blocks L5 and L7 at which time Woodside committed to the drilling of
the first of the two wells through which Global's costs are carried.
Mapping of the 2003 5,500km 2D seismic survey revealed several leads in Blocks
L-5 and L-7 in water depths of 1,650 -2,800 metres with the leads (potential
targets for drilling) ranging in size from 10 sq km (2,500 acres) to 60 sq km
(15,000 acres).
Interpreted results of the 2004/05 3,600km 2D seismic survey are expected to be
available in September and these will be the basis for selection of the
prospects for drilling. On 10th May, the Operator, Woodside, indicated that it
is actively seeking a drill rig for Kenya drilling and has indicated the second
quarter of 2006 as a likely drilling date of the first well which is presently
targeted to be in Block L-5.
In Block L-11, Woodside has until 4th Quarter 2005 to determine whether or not
to continue in this Block.
Falkland Oil and Gas Limited ('FOGL') (Global shareholding 14.0%) www.fogl.co.uk
FOGL made announcements on 3rd May, 20th May, 31st May and 30th June which
advised that 9450 km of 2D seismic in the two licence areas had been acquired
and were now being processed and interpreted. Based on the work to date, more
than 130 leads had been identified compared with the 8 at the time of the FOGL
IPO. FOGL has entered into a further contract to acquire 8,000 km of 2D seismic
with an option to increase this to 15,000 km. Following a placement by FOGL in
which Global did not participate, Global's interest remains at 12.85 million
shares (now 14.0%). At a FOGL share price of £1.20/share (as at 26th July), this
equates to a value to Global of A$35 million (21 cents/share).
Falkland Gold and Minerals Limited ('FGML') (Global shareholding 10.1%)
www.fgml.co.uk
FGML announced on the 18th of July that as a result of drilling to date
indications of gold, platinum, palladium and silver have been identified in
various intersections. While initial results are sub-economic they confirm the
existence of the identified anomalies. Drilling and further soil sampling is
continuing. At a FGML share price of £0.26/share (as at 26th July), this equates
to a value to Global of A$4.7 million (3 cents/share).
Ireland Licence Option 03/3 (Global 100%)
The area comprises part blocks 57/3, 4, 8 and 9 in the North Celtic Sea Basin.
Mapping has indicated a prospect with Jurassic and Lower Cretaceous targets
capable of holding a potential 280 million barrels of oil in place.
Malta Exploration Study Agreement (Global 100%)
The Area comprises Malta Blocks 4 and 5 in Area 3, covering the southern end of
the Ragusa Trough. The key prospects - Gamma and Beta have similar reservoir
targets to the 300 million barrel Vega oil field in the northern part of the
Ragusa Trough. Mapping of Gamma and Beta suggests that they could be capable of
containing 400 and 900 million barrels of oil in place respectively.
Envoi Appointment
The Company has appointed Envoi Limited, an experienced resource marketing
consultant in the United Kingdom, to promote the Ireland and Malta projects and
to seek farminees to take over operatorship and earn significant equity by
conducting further studies and drilling a well in each project.
Exercise of Options
On the 20th April, the Company announced that 500,000 options over fully paid
ordinary shares were exercised at an exercise price of $0.25. ASX quotation for
these shares commenced 26 April 2005.
Yours sincerely,
John Armstrong
Executive Chairman
