Pilot, Triangle lock in Cliff Head transfer for carbon capture play
Pilot Energy has locked in the purchase of the West Australian-based Cliff Head oil facility from former joint venture partner Triangle Energy and will repurpose the asset as a carbon capture and storage facility within its Mid West Clean Energy project. Triangle's remaining 78.75 per cent interest in the Cliff Head oil field within the Perth Basin, held under the current JV, has been transferred to Pilot in exchange for a secured $5.563 million promissory note. The previously announced revised terms of the sale allowed for Pilot's existing debt to Triangle to be converted via the secured note. It matures on September 30, 2026. Interest will accrue from June 30 at 10 per cent and will be capitalised to maturity. Ownership of all onshore and offshore assets falling within WA state jurisdiction has been transferred to Pilot. The assets include onshore processing facilities, the Arrowsmith production plant, Arrowsmith freehold land, infrastructure licences and offshore pipelines within state waters. 'All the hard work to consolidate ownership of the Cliff Head oil JV assets and infrastructure is beginning to pay off.' Pilot Energy managing director Brad Lingo The pipelines extend 16 kilometres to an offshore platform, with the first 12km estimated to fall within WA waters. The remaining 4km of pipelines are in Commonwealth jurisdiction. Pilot will ask to transfer the project via the National Offshore Petroleum Titles Administrator. The company plans to soon lodge the relevant paperwork with the administrator. Triangle stands to receive a considerable boost to its cash position from the sale. In addition to the secured note funds due next year, the company will receive a one-off $167,000 payment on August 31 this year in recognition of the deferred interest accrual under the secured note. It will receive a further $4.5 million when Pilot receives a greenhouse gas injection licence and up to a further $7.5 million in royalties from the project.
