ASX Announcement
Norwest Energy completes high-resolution Ground Gravity
Survey in the Wessex Basin, South of England, UK
Norwest Energy (ASX: NWE) advises the successful completion of a high-resolution
ground gravity survey at PEDL 238 exploration licence (Norwest - 50% interest and
operator, Osceola Hydrocarbons - 50 percent) in Dorset along the coast of Southern
England.
The results of the initial Phase 1 survey completed in October of 2008 were encouraging, and
complete coverage over the PEDL 238 licence has now been achieved following Phase 2.
The overall aim of using high-resolution ground gravity is to acquire an ultra-accurate
gravity map that will be used to identify basement-involved structures at depths of 1800 to
2000 meters.
Phase 2 and 1 results will now be combined and integrated with existing seismic data to
confirm the petroleum potential of the permit.

It is expected that a report on this
interpretation will be available by the end of 2009.

Based on this report it is planned to shoot
2D seismic over the permit during the latter half of 2010.
Norwest considers that the South of England has significant untapped potential for new
hydrocarbon discoveries and; has historically been largely overlooked and undervalued by
the industry when compared with higher profile North Sea opportunities.
