Norwest Energy NL [NWE] - STP-SPA evaluation in northern Perth Basin encourages application for exploration permit

Norwest Energy NL (ASX:NWE) has completed an evaluation of the hydrocarbon potential over 21 onshore blocks in the northern Perth Basin covered by Special Prospecting Authority STP-SPA-0013 (SPA). The SPA is extensive, covering 860 km2 and located between Lancelin and Green Head, and situated to the S/SW of its other northern Perth Basin interests.

The extensive evaluation has identified that there are 3 different hydrocarbon systems that Norwest see as being prospective within the SPA, and will now proceed to apply to convert the SPA to a five year petroleum exploration permit. This will add significantly to Norwest�s acreage position and extends the footprint to the south of the Basin.
