“This is a major step towards realising the potential in this highly prospective block,” says MD Conrad Todd.
Triangle will use the funds for a production well workover, a new oil export route and to execute a 3D seismic acquisition.
“Our co-operative joint venture will both reduce Triangle’s abandonment liability and defer it for at least 10 years after oil production. We are especially pleased that the CHJV will at the same time be making a significant contribution to
In early May, the plan is for the CHJV to sell the estimated 140,000 barrels of oil stored at Kwinana to BP, taking advantage of current high oil prices.

Triangle Energy’s managing director Robert Towner said the accumulation of five months’ inventory meant the company has benefited from the increase in oil price by around US$1 million compared to monthly lifting.
