Merlin-1 exploration well
The Merlin-1 well was spudded in March 2021 and targeted 645 million barrels of gross mean prospective resource. With drilling operations completed in April 2021, 88 Energy commenced the post well testing program on the samples and data obtained during the drilling of the Merlin-1 well. Figure 1** provides an overview of the samples taken during drilling and related testing program and results received to date or pending receipt.

Side wall cores
The sidewall cores taken in the Merlin-1 well were analysed at surface prior to being sent to the laboratory for further testing. Photos of whole core and small chips from the core were taken in white and ultraviolet light to determine fluorescence. The rock chips were also exposed to solvent to observe any "cut". Fluorescence and cut are indicators of the presence of oil.
Fluorescence and cut were observed over several horizons, confirming the observations previously reported based on cuttings (see 88E release dated 29 March 2021). The cores were subsequently sent to the laboratory for further analysis.
Whilst preparing the side wall cores for further testing, white and UV light photography was undertaken. If oil is present, then fluorescence will be evident under UV light. Multiple horizons were identified as having oil present during drilling via observation of fluorescence under UV light and also using solvent (or cut) to determine whether oil would leach out from the samples. The observations in the lab of the side wall cores are largely confirmatory of these previous analyses; however, several horizons showed evidence of oil, which were not previously identified. Some of the fluorescence observed in the lab is shown in Figure 2** (notably, 18 of the most prospective samples were not included as they were set aside for special analysis related to any oil extracted).
During and post the end of the quarter, Phase One geochemical results were received for the 18 specifically selected trims from the Merlin-1 side wall cores (see 88E release dated 14 July 2021). Nine (9) of these 18 trims confirmed the presence of hydrocarbons.
The nine (9) trims which confirmed the presence of hydrocarbons were at depths that were among the most prospective zones noted during drilling as well as during post well testing analysis. Significantly, these depths were among the prospective zones that were not able to be tested with the RDTTM downhole fluid extraction tool. These zones also correspond with depths where good oil shows were noted during drilling, including petroliferous odour, fluorescence and cut.
The high resolution gas chromatography (HRGC) charts in Figure 3** are from a selection of the nine (9) trims which showed evidence of hydrocarbons. These charts show a spread of carbon compounds with lighter molecules on the left and heavier components on the right. Oil signatures may be inferred by the presence of heavier carbon compounds seen in these two samples.
Phase Two of the geochemical analysis program on the sidewall core trims has commenced. This includes quantitative extraction, SARA, isotopes and biomarkers analysis. Phase Two results are expected to be received in the next few weeks, with the analysis designed to confirm not only the presence of oil but also the nature of the source rock. This is targeted at enhancing understanding of the likely quality of the oil as well as migration pathways, which is critical for understanding regional implications on prospectivity across Project Peregrine.
RDTTM test results
The second run of the Merlin-1 wireline program was conducted with the RDTTM tool which is designed to take fluid samples across selected zones. Initial observations indicated the presence of an oil signature in the fluid using an optical fingerprint sensor in the downhole sampling tool, after communication was established with the reservoir in the deepest zone of interest. Slugging of hydrocarbon and water then occurred, which is often a precursor to hydrocarbon flow from the reservoir. However, a power outage due to equipment failure necessitated pulling out of the hole for repairs prior to any sample being obtained.
After repairs were completed, the run back in hole encountered several sticky sections, indicating poor hole condition, so a clean out run was undertaken. Re-entry with the sampling tool was then executed to move to the lowest zone for testing but good communication was not able to be re-established with the reservoir despite observation of a similar hydrocarbon signature on the optical fingerprint sensor. The time the hole had been open and consequent potential formation damage may have contributed to this issue.
A decision was made to move to the next shallowest prospective zone, which had exhibited good oil shows and petrophysical characteristics, but wellbore condition issues prevented a test as the tool became stuck. The tool was freed but the risk of returning to that zone was deemed too high.
Significantly, one of the most prospective zones encountered in Merlin-1 is considered to be a new prospective horizon within the Nanushuk Formation that may be wholly within the Project Peregrine acreage and was not one of the pre-drill targets. Further work, integrating the results from logging with the seismic, is required to map / re-map the volumetric potential of these zones.
Several samples were taken in zones interpreted to be less prospective on the way out of the hole, which were sent to a laboratory for post well testing.
The raw data from the RDTTM logging run was processed and presented in a final report. The results are shown in Figure 4** for two of the samples where the pressure was taken to below 100psi (atmospheric pressure is ~15psi); the pressure in the third sample was only decreased to 403psi.
It is important to note that whilst the percentages of hydrocarbon in the Figure 4**
images reach up to ~70% of the sample (which would be indicative of a discovery), the results are deemed qualitative, and the margin of error is uncertain. Therefore, further investigation is required to validate the actual percentage of hydrocarbon in the samples.
The ratios of hydrocarbon indicate that the liquid present is highly likely to be oil rather than condensate, which also bodes well from a thermal maturity perspective regionally. These horizons had previously been deemed to contain mostly water and this remains a possibility. Regardless of the final percentages of hydrocarbon versus water in these samples, the presence of oil is highly encouraging particularly given that the two most prospective horizons were not able to be sampled due to the operational issues.
Mud gas Isotopes
Mud gas samples collected in Isotubes whilst drilling were sent to the lab for analysis following the completion of well site activities. This study looks at the ratios and quantities of carbon isotopes in the samples which provide valuable information about their source. Encouragingly, a marked increase in the C2+ level in deeper samples "strongly suggest reservoir hydrocarbons" and thermal maturities indicate the source rock to be in the "heart of the oil window". In combining and summarising these results, "all indications are that deeper mud gas samples come from a "reservoir oil accumulation".
Pending results
Remaining Merlin-1 post well evaluation results still to be received and processed by 88 Energy are:
· NMR and Dean stark (for porosity, salinity and saturation measurements).
· Core sample petrography (from thin sections).
· Permeability measurements (Klinkenberg method as well as OB pressure).
· Final VAS results (correlating initial "blind" results with wireline logs and stratigraphic tops).
· Phase Two geochemistry: specifically focussed on typing the hydrocarbons as well as determining saturations.
Following receipt and processing of the above results, an integrated Merlin-1 summary will be finalised. 88 Energy is looking forward to presenting the final, aggregate Merlin-1 results to shareholders, the implications of which will determine the forward-looking plan for exploration efforts in the NPRA Alaska next season.
Merlin-1 well costs
Costs associated with the Merlin-1 well have now been largely finalised, with all major invoices paid. 88 Energy's net share of well costs is estimated at approximately US$9 million, inclusive of wireline costs and additional costs associated with operational issues during the wireline program.
Acquisition of APDC 50% interest in Project Peregrine
On 7 June 2021, 88 Energy announced that it had entered into an agreement to acquire the 50% working interest in Project Peregrine held by Alaska Peregrine Development Company, LLC (APDC) in exchange for consideration of:
· US$14 million, payable in new 88 Energy shares, which were issued in several tranches and were subject to a final reconciliation mechanism;
· 1.5% overriding royalty interest on future production from the Project Peregrine licences;
· US$10m cash payment on the achievement of gross 2P reserves of 100 million barrels within 36 months;
· Cash payments of US$2.5m per 50 million barrels on the achievement of gross 2P reserves added over 100 million barrels within 36 months (capped at 5 additional cash payments); and
· 10% of the gross sale proceeds in respect of an assignment of greater than 49% of Project Peregrine within 24 months, excluding a bona fide farm-out.
The acquisition was completed post quarter end and all consideration shares have been issued (see 88E release dated 15 July 2021).
88 Energy now holds a 100% working interest in Project Peregrine.
Umiat Oil Field (100% WI)
Studies have commenced to review the historical Umiat oil field development plans prepared by Linc Energy, which formed the basis of the Ryder Scott 2015 reserves report. Initial results of the internal review and studies have identified potential cost savings on planned development CAPEX, as well as alternative potential routes to market for the crude, which could include a potential tie-in to the Willow oil field development to the north of the acreage.
In addition, initial studies conducted in conjunction with the Merlin-1 post well testing and analysis have identified additional upside at the Umiat oil field.
Project Icewine (75% WI)
88 Energy has been closely monitoring activity nearby to the northern border of its Project Icewine acreage, where a flow of light oil from the Kuparuk has been reported from the Talitha-A well (see Pantheon Resources (AIM:PANR) release dated 19 April 2021).
Additional insights into the wettability of the Kuparuk formation have also been highlighted as part of the results from Talitha-A, which may have positive ramifications for 88 Energy's previous interpretation of this horizon.
All three wells drilled by 88 Energy at Project Icewine have encountered good quality reservoir in the Kuparuk formation, with indications of hydrocarbons. These had previously been interpreted as likely gas condensate or residual oil and no mapped targets had been identified - given this was not a play that 88 Energy was pursuing.
The results at Talitha-A are highly encouraging regionally for the Kuparuk, including across Project Icewine. The 88 Energy internal geoscience team is looking to reassess the potential across the acreage.
Yukon Leases (100% WI)
The Yukon Leases contain the 86 million barrel Cascade Prospect*, which was intersected peripherally by Yukon Gold-1, drilled in 1994, and classified as an historic oil discovery.
88 Energy more recently acquired 3D seismic (2018*) over Cascade and, on final processing and interpretation, high-graded it from a lead to a drillable prospect. The Yukon Leases are located adjacent to ANWR and in close proximity to recently commissioned infrastructure at Point Thompson.
Advanced discussions and negotiations with nearby lease owners continued during the quarter. All parties are seeking to capture the potential to aggregate discovered resources located in the vicinity of the Yukon Leases as part of a joint development of the area.
