BPH appoints leading Contract Manager for Baleen Well Project
This morning, BPH Energy Ltd (ASX:BPH) announced the appointment of Mr Andrew Hogan as Contracts Manager for investee Advent Energy Ltd for its PEP (Petroleum Exploration Permit) 11 Baleen well project in the Offshore Sydney Basin.
This represents a promising development for Advent Energy’s portfolio, with the upcoming Baleen well playing a key role in tackling the new gas resources urgently required to meet domestic demand in the South and East of Australia.
Additionally, as we reported yesterday, the Baleen well has the potential to play an important role in the transition to net zero carbon emissions as it will be evaluated for future use as part of an East Coast Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) program, complementing similar projects underway in Victoria and elsewhere.
David Breeze, Chairman of Advent Energy, explained in yesterday’s announcement: “If our gas and carbon storage exploration program is successful, and I am optimistic that it will be, it could be a real game changer for NSW and Australia in transitioning to a clean energy and net zero future. I look forward to discussing our plans with the State and Federal governments, and with the Opposition”.
