美国Hyperdynamics石油公司9月26日发布通告，美国 Hyperdynamics石油公司对于在几内亚沿海特许开采区块发现石油储藏的前景感到非常乐观。
前不久，美国 Hyperdynamics石油公司与几内亚政府签署了延期协议，几方同意将沿海大陆架特许开采区块延期一年至2017年9月； 该区块面积约5000平方公里。
美国 Hyperdynamics石油公司委托国际知名的地质勘探公司，荷兰Netherland Sewell & Associates Inc. NSAI进行地质研究分析，荷兰NSAI公司做了详细的3D地质结构图模型。
根据荷兰NSAI公司的技术分析，该区块可开采的石油潜在储量约48亿桶。
美国 Hyperdynamics石油公司计划在这个5000平方公里的特许开采权区块内打2口勘探井，第一口名为 Fatala 1，第二口名为 Burried Hill 1。第一口勘探井计划在2017年4月开始钻探，打井预算费用为4600万美元。
美国 Hyperdynamics石油公司首席执行官Ray Leonard向媒体表示：我们很高兴获悉荷兰NSAI公司的乐观评估结果，这增强了我们在几内亚沿海发现石油储藏的信心和希望。

(Agence Ecofin) - Dans un communiqué, Hyperdynamics a annoncé avoir reçu les conclusions de travaux d’évaluation de risques d’exploration et une mise à jour de ses deux meilleures perspectives de forage au large des côtes guinéennes, Fatala 1 et Burried Hill 1. Les résultats confirment une forte augmentation de la probabilité de succès sur les deux prospects, de 25% à 31% pour Fatala 1 et de 20% à 24% pour Burried Hill.
Les travaux ont, en effet, constitué en un retraitement sur les deux zones des données sismiques 3D par le contractant spécialisé ESEIS Inc par le biais d’une technologie plus avancée qui a fourni des images plus claires et les caractéristiques géologiques des projets.
Sur la base des éléments fournis par ces travaux, Netherland Sewell & Associates Inc. (NSAI), l’une des principales sociétés d’évaluation de ressources, a indiqué que les deux prospects affichent de « faibles risques d’exploration ». Pour rappel, en avril dernier, NSAI avait estimé, à la suite des travaux menés sur la zone qui couvre 5 000 km², que les ressources récupérables sur la concession s’élèvent à 4,8 milliards de barils de ressources en hydrocarbures récupérables.
« Nous sommes ravis des résultats de cette dernière évaluation de nos meilleurs espoirs en Guinée qui se trouvent dans un bassin en grande partie non exploré au large des côtes ouest-africaines », a affirmé le chef de la direction de Hyperdynamics, Ray Leonard 。
Hyperdynamics Receives Upgraded Exploration Risk Assessment for its Top 2 Prospects
HOUSTON, Sept. 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Hyperdynamics Corporation (OTCQX: HDYN) today announced it has received an updated exploration risk assessment of its top two drilling prospects that materially increases the probability of exploration success for both.
The improved risk assessment follows the reprocessing of 3D seismic data by specialty processor eSeis, Inc. covering the Fatala 1 and Buried Hill 1 deepwater prospects offshore Guinea using a more advanced technology that produced clearer images of the geologic characteristics of the projects.
based on this enhanced imaging, Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Inc., (NSAI) a leading provider of reserve audits and resource assessments, upgraded its opinion of the probability of success for the Fatala 1 prospect from 25% to 31%, and it increased the probability of success for the Buried Hill 1 prospect from 20% to 24%.
Using standard industry methodology, NSAI noted that both prospects represent "low risk exploration."
"We are delighted with the results of this latest evaluation of our top Guinea prospects which lay in a largely untested basin offshore West Africa," said Hyperdynamics President and Chief Executive Officer Ray Leonard.
"De-risking drilling prospects as much as possible is a critical part of the exploration process, and the reprocessing work eSeis conducted produced a much more coherent and cleaner 3D seismic view that suggests direct evidence of hydrocarbons, good quality sandstones and effective trapping seals."
NSAI's most recent estimate dated April 2016 of the prospective resource potential of all drilling prospects and leads in Hyperdynamics 5,000-square-kilometer concession area estimates the presence of 4.8 billion barrels of recoverable hydrocarbon resources. This includes more than 2 billion barrels of recoverable resources in prospects with a 20% chance of success or higher. NSAI's April report as well as its September 2016 letter updating their exploration risk estimates is available on the Company's website at www.hyperdynamics.com.

Hyperdynamics Receives Presidential Decree Implementing the Second Amendment to the Production Sharing Contract
HOUSTON, Sept. 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Hyperdynamics Corporation (OTCQX: HDYN) today announced that it has received notice of a Presidential Decree signed by the President of the Republic of Guinea, Alpha Conde, implementing the Second Amendment to its Production Sharing Contract approved by the government on September 15, 2016.
"The signature by Guinea's President Conde implementing the Second Amendment to our Production Sharing Contract is the final step that clears the way for Hyperdynamics to resume exploration of Guinea's vast and largely untested hydrocarbon resource potential as Operator and 100% owner of our concession," said Hyperdynamics President and Chief Executive Officer Ray Leonard.
The Second Amendment extends the term of the Production Sharing Contract through September 22, 2017 and confirms that the Company is the 100% interest holder and Operator of the Production Sharing Contract. Hyperdynamics retains an area of 5,000 square kilometers in the Guinea offshore. The Company is obligated to drill one exploratory well with a projected commencement date of April 2017, with additional wells optional.
Overview of the Guinea Project
Hyperdynamics holds a 100% working interest and is the operator of one of the largest offshore exploration concessions in West Africa offshore Republic of Guinea. The Company is making preparations in order to drill a deepwater exploration well in the first half of 2017 at the Fatala turbidite fan prospect.
Multiple play types, leads and prospects have been identified in this largely unexplored basin at the intersection of several prospective exploration trends within the Atlantic Transform Margin, where Hyperdynamics holds a concession covering approximately 5,000 square kilometers.
We are encouraged by recent offshore oil discoveries in Ghana, Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Cote d’Ivoire to the south and east of our concession on the African side of the Atlantic, as well as discoveries offshore Brazil and French Guiana in South America, which abutted West Africa 100 million years ago before tectonic plate shifts separated the two continents.
Exploration Work Conducted to Date
We have conducted extensive technical studies of the area, including 17,800 kilometers of 2D seismic and 7,635 square kilometers of 3D seismic in five separate surveys covering both shallower water and deep water portions of the Guinea concession.
Hyperdynamics drilled the Sabu-1 exploration well in late 2011 and early 2012 in 730 meters of water as operator of the project. The Sabu-1 reached planned total depth of 3,600 meters below the waterline, testing an Upper Cretaceous section of the prospect. The well encountered oil shows, and well-log interpretations indicated the presence of residual oil in non-commercial quantities. Subsequent analysis of rock samples from the well confirmed the presence of hydrocarbons in fluid inclusions in the rock.
We believe the Sabu-1 well was not commercial because of the lack of a reservoir seal such as marine shales or reservoir-seal pairs needed for a commercial accumulation. We also believe that the evidence that hydrocarbon generation has taken place in the basin and the presence of reservoir-quality carbonates and sandstones in the well enhances the prospectivity of our concession.
Production Sharing Contract
Following the exit of Tullow Oil and Dana Petroleum as Hyperdynamics’ partners in the drilling consortium in August 2016, Hyperdynamics negotiated a Production Sharing Contract Amendment on September 15, 2016 with the Government of Guinea granting an extension of the Concession to September 22, 2017.
