Green Rock Energy Ltd- Corporate Overview • Australian company, listed on Australian Stock Exchange (code “GRK”) • Market Capitalisation: • A$19.2 million • Options • 40 million options • 10 cents (April 2008) • Shareholders • 2,200 • Top 20 (34%) • Directors (7%)
Green Rock Energy Ltd- Business Overview • Developer of commercial geothermal energy projects • Long life resources supplying long life markets • Australian Geothermal Projects (100% interest) • Hungarian Projects (32% interest)
Geothermal Energy - Recovering the Earth’s Natural Heat • Hot Water • in natural reservoirs • known as “Conventional ” or “Hydrothermal” systems • Hot Rocks (EGS) • Hot Dry Rocks
Geothermal Energy- Why geothermal energy? Conventional Geothermal Energy technology is well proven Advantages of Geothermal Energy • Varied uses – electricity, direct heat applications • Renewable energy – access to carbon credits • Domestic source of energy • Base load, long life, power source – high availability >95% • 50,000 times energy of known world oil & gas reserves (US Dept Energy) • Technology driving costs down c.f. fossil fuel prices increasing • Attractive to green/ethical funds Sub-surface Tasks • Both Conventional & EGS - sustainable water circulation flow rate • EGS - fracture stimulation to create a large underground reservoir
OD Geothermal Energy Project Past Activities • Blanche No1 well • Sited 5km from power grid on seismic line • Drilled, cored & logged to 1,935m • In-situ stress analysis (CSIRO) • Temperature measured beneath & around mine • Well production capability (GeothermEx) • Confirmed • Suitable temperatures in granite host • Extensive volume of homogeneous granite • Large potential resource • Likely horizontal flow direction
2008 Mini hydro-fracture of existing slim hole well Design first of two deep wells Drill 1st production well Fracture stimulate 1st well 2009 Drill 2nd production well Fracture stimulate 2nd well Flow test fractured reservoir 2011 3 to 5 MWe Pilot Power Plant 2013 +20 MWe modular plants OD Geothermal Energy Project Evaluation & Development Phases
Project ownership 100% by Green Rock Energy Ltd Site location Next to power demand and transmission grid Potential resource Drilled into hot granite and confirmed temperatures Establish water circulation Water supplies Adequate water for flow circulation & cooling Infrastructure Roxby Downs township and services Connection to electricity grid 10kms from grid Scaled development Immediate access to market Experience Conventional & EGS (above & below ground) OD Geothermal Energy Project Comparison with other EGS Projects
Patchawarra Project Location selection • Patchawarra Trough, Cooper Basin • geological formations prospective for hot geothermal water • Prospective aquifers reach a thickness in excess of 1,200m • at depths in excess of 3,000m • To be evaluated and developed in conjunction with the construction of an electricity distribution network connected to the Cooper Basin
Upper Spencer Gulf Project (100% interest) Location (1,938 km2)
Upper Spencer Gulf Project Location Selection • 6 geothermal exploration licenses & two applications • Early stage of evaluation of the granites for EGS • Evaluating direct use of geothermal heat source for a desalination plant
Green Rock Energy Ltd- Projects Hungary Geothermal Energy Project (32% interest)
Hungary Geothermal Energy ProjectWhy Hungary ? • Good resource potential • high regional heat flow • hot waters intersected in drilling • Extensive database • Supportive legislative regime • attractive feed in tariff pricing €90 /MWh (c.f. Australia: A$50/MWh) • guaranteed access to market • Member of European Union • World Bank backed risk insurance
Hungary Geothermal Energy ProjectJoint Venture (32%) Joint Venturers • MOL - a major Hungarian oil & gas company • Enex hf - a major Icelandic geothermal operating & consulting company • Green Rock Energy Limited Scope • Testing of existing hydrocarbon wells or new wells • Generate a pipeline of geothermal projects • >100 MW electricity + direct heat capacity 1st Site drilled • Suspended (usable for direct heat) Currently selecting 2nd & 3rd sites
Summary • Commercially driven company • A renewable energy that provides continuous energy • Evaluation and development approach minimizes risk • Ability to develop projects in stages • Both Conventional & EGS geothermal projects • In a market that will only get more focus • International geothermal experience • New incentives announced by governments
