Friday 01 August 2014 Sun Expands Southern Woodbine Lease Position

Sun Resources NL ("Sun") is pleased to announce that it has secured the rights to oil and gas leases covering approximately 1,980 gross acres in southern Leon County targeting the Lower Woodbine Formation ("New Leases").

New Leases lie adjacent to Sun's existing SW Leona and Normangee project areas and increase Sun's gross acreage position to almost 38,700 acres.

EOG Resources Inc ("EOG"), one of the biggest and most successful Independent oil companies in the USA, has recently been actively leasing acreage in close proximity to the New Leases.

EOG has successfully drilled and completed 7 'laterals' in the Lower Woodbine Formation, the same target identified in Sun's Jack Howe vertical pilot well, which have delivered a range of 30-day initial production rates of between 200-500 barrels oil per day.

EOG has at least a further 4 wells planned in the near term.

Sun is encouraged to have secured the new acreage at attractive prices despite substantial competition and will continue to seek to consolidate its land position in the Lower Woodbine Formation.

Planning for the Jack Howe lateral continues, targeted for September 2014, subject to capital and rig availability.


Sun Resources NL (Sun or the Company) (ASX: SUR) is pleased to announce that it has secured the rights to a significant parcel of additional, new lease interests in the southern quadrant of its "Eaglebine" land position totalling 1,980 gross acres ("New Leases"). The New Leases are adjacent to and on trend with the rapidly developing Lower Woodbine Oil Play, which include Sun's existing Normangee and SW Leona Oil Project areas. The acquisition of the New Leases is consistent with Sun's strategic objective to continue to grow its net acreage position in the oil-rich, Eaglebine unconventional oil play with the target of holding between 20-30,000 net acres in this region.

Each lease has rights to all depths and all formations, with an initial three-year term plus a two-year option. A portion of the New Leases lie adjacent to Sun's interests in the SW Leona AMI (Sun 50%, Amerril Energy LLC 50%) to the East of the Normangee AMI and are subject to the AMI provisions of the SW Leona Joint Operating Agreement. The New Leases include a 100% working interest (WI) and a 77.5% net royalty interest (NRI) and Sun will act as the Operator giving the Company substantial flexibility on the forward work program, including partnership opportunities. The New Leases have been secured at a price of less than U$1,000 per net acre, which has been funded from existing cash reserves.

The primary target in these new leases will be the rapidly developing Lower Woodbine Formation, on the prolific Eagle Ford Shale oil fairway in East Texas, but other targets above and below also have potential for containing recoverable oil resources.
The New Leases are adjacent to, and on trend with the expanding lease position of EOG Resources Inc ("EOG"). EOG is an exploration and production company based in Houston, Texas

with a US$59 billion market capitalisation (NYSE: EOG). EOG is one of the largest land holders in the Eaglebine Oil Play with over 4 million acres in North America. EOG operates substantial lease holdings adjacent to Sun's position, within Madison and Leon Counties. EOG has completed at least 7 horizontal Lower Woodbine oil producing wells in the immediate area in the last 12-24 months and currently has four new wells planned at its Grove location (7.5 miles west of Sun's Jack Howe #1 location). Furthermore, some of EOG's new wells are very close to Sun's existing leases including the Zeus #1H well which has recently been completed; which is just ~ 2.8 miles to the East of Jack Howe #1H and about ~3.6 miles from Sun's SW Leona location. Sun understands Zeus #1H is currently on flow-back and its results will be reported as soon as they become public.

Given the recent surge in leasing activity and related pricing in the Lower Woodbine Formation, Sun expects strong production rates from the recently drilled wells to continue. Other players active in the surrounding areas include Halcón's activities in Brazos County, immediately to the west, plus Contango's recent successes to the south in Madison County.
