Bengal Energy Ltd. announced the acquisition of an additional 28.57% working interest in its operated natural gas prospective permit Authority to Prospect 934 ("ATP 934") located in the under-exploited Cooper Basin natural gas fairway. Bengal has now consolidated its ownership of ATP 934 to 100%. ATP 934 covers an area of 1,462 km2 (360,000 acres) and is immediately surrounded by natural gas fields. These adjacent fields have produced 93.7 billion cubic feet of natural gas and associated liquids to June 2016 and continue to produce in excess of 17 million cubic feet/day, with newly completed wells being tied in and further additional drilling on adjacent permits expected. Successful competitor drilling on adjacent tenements has occurred over the past two years with 20 natural gas wells drilled. Targeted drill depths on ATP 934 are between 2,700 to 2,900 metres with natural gas pipelines and other natural gas production infrastructure located nearby.
