Notes to Editors
Pantheon Resources plc is an
AIM listed Oil & Gas company focused on developing the Ahpun
and Kodiak fields located on state land on the Alaska North
Slope ("ANS"), onshore USA, where it has a 100% working
interest in c. 193,000 acres. In December 2023, Pantheon was
the successful bidder for an additional 66,240 acres with very
significant resource potential, contiguous to the Ahpun
and Kodiak projects. Following the issue of the new
leases, which are expected to be formally awarded in summer 2024
upon payment of the balance of the application monies, the Company
will have a 100% working interest in c. 259,000 acres. Certified
contingent resources attributable to these projects exceeds 1
billion barrels of marketable liquids, located adjacent
to Alaska's Trans Alaska Pipeline System
("TAPS").
Pantheon's stated objective is to
demonstrate sustainable market recognition of a value
of $5-$10/bbl of recoverable resources by end 2028. This is
based on targeting Final Investment Decision ("FID") on the Ahpun
field by the end of 2025, subject to regulatory approvals, building
production to at least 20,000 barrels per day of marketable liquids
into the TAPS main oil line, and applying the resultant cashflows
to support the FID on the Kodiak field by the end of
2028.
A major differentiator to other ANS
projects is the close proximity to existing roads and pipelines
which offers a significant competitive advantage to Pantheon,
allowing for materially lower infrastructure costs and the ability
to support the development with a significantly lower pre-cashflow
funding requirement than is typical in Alaska.
The Company's project portfolio has
been endorsed by world renowned experts. Netherland, Sewell
& Associates ("NSAI") estimate a 2C contingent recoverable
resource in the Kodiak project that total 962.5 million
barrels of marketable liquids and 4,465 billion cubic feet of
natural gas. NSAI is currently working on updated estimates for the
Kodiak Field to incorporate the additional acreage, and CGA and LKA
are working on estimates for the Ahpun Field.
