1. INTRODUCTION

Pangaea (NT) Pty Ltd was granted permission to carry out sampling of core at the Northern Territory

Department of Mines and Petroleum’s core facility in Darwin during July and August 2012. The

purpose of the sampling programme was three-fold; (1) to verify the existing Rock-Eval data sampled

from the Roper Group (Velkerri Formation) (Figure 2); (2) to model the kerogen conversion kinetics of

the organic-rich shale in the Velkerri Formation in Walton-2; and (3) as a preliminary assessment on the

reservoir quality in the Seale Sandstone (Figure 3).

A combination of five (5) mineral, petroleum and stratigraphic wells were sampled in total (Table 1).

The locations of the wells are illustrated in Figure 1. The sample collection procedure adhered to the

conditions set by the Geological Survey of Northern Territory.

In total, 68 samples were collected from the available core. This included 40 samples which were sent

to Core Laboratory Indonesia for Rock-Eval Pyrolysis (RE) and Total Organic Carbon analysis (TOC), five

(5) samples were analysed using X-Ray Diffraction Spectrometry (XRD) for Bulk and Clay Fraction, and

corresponding thin sections. 30 samples were analysed by Core Laboratory Perth for He-Boyles

Porosity, and a subset of 16 samples were further assessed for Steady-State Permeability. Kerogen

Conversion Kinetics was conducted by Weatherford Houston on one (1) Middle Velkerri shale sample

from Walton-2.

Appendix 1 illustrates the samples evaluated for core and/or geochemical analyses.

2. SAMPLE PREPARATION and ANALYTICAL METHODS

A total of 64 samples were selected for geochemical and conventional core analysis to infill the

existing database. Core samples from Sever-1 and DDH-1 wells were analysed for He-Boyles

Page | 8

Porosity and Air Steady-State Permeability. A selection of core samples from Sever-1 were

further analysed for Rock-Eval Pyrolysis (RE) and Total Organic Carbon (TOC), along with X-Ray

Diffraction Spectrometry (XRD) for Bulk and Clay Fraction. A total of five (5) thin sections were

prepared but not analysed.

All 17 core samples from DDH-2 and 15 core samples from DWD-1 were analysed for Rock-Eval

Pyrolysis and TOC. Kerogen Conversion Kinetics was conducted on one core sample from

Walton-2.

Appendix 1 illustrates in detail the samples that have been submitted for the various core and

geochemical analyses for each wells.

2.1 Total Organic Carbon

Total organic carbon (TOC) is a measurement of the organic richness of a rock in weight percent

organic carbon. Organic richness is the first requirement for an oil or gas source rock and used

as a screening technique to determine whether a sample merits further detailed analysis. The

organic carbon content is determined by combustion of the sample in the Rock-Eval 6 Analyser

(standard model S/N 18-001). Blank, standards and duplicates are routinely run to insure highly

reliable results.

The majority of the TOC work was obtained by pyrolysis using the Rock-Eval 6 Analyser by adding

pyrolyzed carbon and residual carbon. The pyrolyzed carbon is computed from: (1) the

hydrocarbon compounds released in peaks S1 and S2 (assuming they contain 83% of organic

carbon), (2) the CO released during pyrolysis up to 500°C (S3CO peak), and (3) the CO2 released

during pyrolysis up to 400°C (S3CO2 peak). To avoid interference by release of pyrolytic CO2 from

carbonate minerals such as siderite and ankerite, only the first part of the CO2 pyrolysis curve is

taken into account. Also, to avoid possible interference caused by Boudouard's reaction, where

the CO2 released early during carbonate decomposition can react with the residual carbon to

produce CO, the calculation for CO is limited to a temperature of 500°C. The residual carbon is

obtained during the oxidation phase by summing the organic carbon oxidized into CO (S4CO

peak) and CO2 up to 650°C (S4CO2 peak). At higher temperatures, there is no more CO

production and the CO2 comes generally from the decomposition of carbonates (calcite and

dolomite).

For five (5) of the core samples on Sever-1 that were submitted for XRD analysis, TOC content

was also obtained using the LECO method. The dried samples were pulverised and treated with

hot and cold hydrochloric acid to remove carbonates (inorganic carbon). After acid treatment,

the organic carbon content is determined by combustion of the sample in LECO WR 112 Carbon

Analyser.

A total of 40 samples were analysed for TOC content; 17 from DDH-2, 15 from DWD-1 and eight

(8) from Sever-1 where five (5) of which were obtained by LECO method.

2.2 Rock-Eval Pyrolysis

Rock-Eval pyrolysis is used to identify the type and maturity of organic matter and to detect

petroleum potential in sediments. In summary, the four basic parameters obtained by pyrolysis

are S1 (the amount of free hydrocarbons), S2 (the potential to produce hydrocarbon), S3 (the

amount of oxygen in the kerogen) and Tmax (indication of the stage of maturation of the organic

matter, S2 maximum peak) (Tissot and Welte 1984). From these, the Hydrogen Index (S2/TOC x

100), Oxygen Index (S3/TOC x 100), Potential Yield (S1+S2) and Production Index (S1/(S1+S2))

can be calculated.

A total of 40 samples were submitted for RE; 17 from DDH2, 15 from DWD-1 and eight (8) from

Sever-1 wells. Each of the core samples were ground and homogenised prior to analysis.

2.3 X-Ray Diffraction Spectroscopy

Approximately 10 grams of representative sample is required for routine XRD analysis. The

sample is dried, disaggregated and then cleaned of hydrocarbons using chloroform and

methanol. The sample is gently crushed in a ceramic mortar using a rubber pestle, passed

through a 120-mesh sieve and then split into two equal portions for bulk and clay mineral XRD

analysis.

Five (5) samples from Sever-1 were submitted for XRD analysis on both the Bulk and Clay

content.

2.4 Grain Volume and Grain Density

The weight, diameter and length of the selected samples were measured before they were

processed through the Ultrapore™ porosimeter to determine grain volume by helium injection.

As a standard quality control measure, a calibration check plug was run after every fifth sample.

Grain density data was calculated from grain volume and sample weight data.

2.5 He-Boyles Porosity

Porosities were calculated using grain volume, combined with bulk volume by mercury

displacement (Archimedes).

A total of 30 core samples were submitted for porosity analysis; 18 from DDH-1 and 12 from

Sever-1.

2.6 Steady-State Air Permeability

Page | 10

Permeability measurements were made at a confining stress of 800psi (ambient) in the CMS-

300™ automated core measurement system (unsteady-state principle). Two standard check

plugs were run with each batch of plug samples.

A total of 30 core samples were submitted for permeability analysis; 18 from DDH-1 and 12 from

Sever-1.

2.7 Anhydrous Kerogen Kinetics Analysis

Source rock kinetics refers to the parameters that define the rates at which organic matter

(kerogen) thermally decomposes to form oil and/or gas over a range of temperatures.

The source rock kinetic measurements were derived using the Arrhenius equation, which defines

the rate at which a chemical reaction takes place. The formula is:

Where:

k = Reaction rate A = Arrhenius or frequency factor Ea = Activation energy T = Absolute temperature R = Universal gas constant e = natural logarithm base

The method involves heating isolated kerogen or extracted whole rock (if the TOC is sufficient) at

multiple heating rates (ie 1, 5, 15, 25, and 50 0C/minute) between 3000C and 6000C.

Three samples from the Middle Velkerri Formation in Walton-2 were submitted to be analysed

by Weatherford Houston (WFH). The samples were first screened by Rock-Eval to select one

sample with the highest-S2/lowest-S1 for kinetics analysis.

2.8 Thin Section Preparation

Five (5) thin sections of the size 39mm x 79mm with high pressure, blue dye impregnation with

no stain were made. No permanent cover slips were mounted. All samples were taken from

Sever-1 well from the Middle and Lower Velkerri Formation. The thin sections are shown in

Appendix 6.

1.2 Rock-Eval Pyrolysis (RE-6)

The Rock-Eval 6 Analyser (standard model S/N 18-001) provides a rapid (30min/sample)

source rock analysis on a small (50-70 mg) sample of rock by heating over temperature range

of 300-650 °C. The temperature was set to hold on 300 oC for 3 minutes and increase to 650

°C at 25 °C /min temperature rate. An industry standard (IFP 160000) is used as standard

sample for calibration. This analysis quickly evaluates the concentration of volatile and soluble

organic matter plus amount of pyrolysable organic matter is the sample and thermal maturity.

The results identify possible source and reservoir intervals on which more detailed analyses may

be performed.

GEOCHEMICAL ANALYTICAL PROCEDURES

This report presents the result and geochemical analytical procedures of a petroleum

geochemistry study performed on a suite of cores samples drilled by Pangaea Resources Pty

Ltd.

1.1 Total Organic Carbon (TOC)

Total organic carbon analysis measures the organic richness of a rock in weight percent organic

carbon. Organic richness is the first requirement for an oil or gas source rock. The analysis is

also used as a screening technique to determine which samples merit more detailed analysis.

The organic carbon content is determined by combustion of the sample in Rock-Eval 6

Analyser (standard model S/N 18-001). Blank, standards and duplicates are routinely run to

insure highly reliable results.

1.2 Rock-Eval Pyrolysis (RE-6)

The Rock-Eval 6 Analyser (standard model S/N 18-001) provides a rapid (30min/sample)

source rock analysis on a small (50-70 mg) sample of rock by heating over temperature range

of 300-650 °C. The temperature was set to hold on 300 oC for 3 minutes and increase to 650

°C at 25 °C /min temperature rate. An industry standard (IFP 160000) is used as standard

sample for calibration. This analysis quickly evaluates the concentration of volatile and soluble

organic matter plus amount of pyrolysable organic matter is the sample and thermal maturity.

The results identify possible source and reservoir intervals on which more detailed analyses may

be performed.
