Karoon Energy is a new entry in the ASX 200 Trade Table

Who Dat acquisition enables Karoon’s entry to US Gulf of Mexico (US GoM) & provides asset diversification. We factor in KAR’s acquisition at $720m equity raising (US$300m) and debt drawdown (US$274m). The acquisition now presents an opportunity for investors.

The Who Dat oil and gas field is located in Mississippi Canyon (MC) blocks 503 / 504 / 547 in
the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) in water depths of 945m. Who Dat was discovered in late 2007,
and has been in production since 2011. Who Dat is made up of numerous stacked reservoirs
of Pliocene & Miocene age. Producing reservoirs are located at depths of 10,000ft-17,000ft.
Oil is sold into the Mars pipeline (operated by Shell), while gas is sold into the Canyon Chief
pipeline (operated by Williams).
