  Emerging Brisbane-based oil and gas company, Global Petroleum
  Limited, has announced plans to include Australian acreage in its
  exploration portfolio.
  
  
  Global announced today that it had applied for a number of areas,
  totalling some 10,000 square kilometres, in the Surat Basin in
  Queensland, under the Queensland Petroleum Act 1923.
  
  
  The Company's previously announced petroleum exploration assets are
  in Kenya, Montenegro, the Falkland Islands and Fiji.
  
  
  "The Australian blocks we have applied for are all located in
  reasonable proximity to known Queensland oil and gas fields and
  associated pipeline infrastructure," Global's Executive Chairman, Dr
  John Armstrong, said today.
  
  
  "This would facilitate early production and returns from any
  successful exploration," he said.
  
  
  Dr Armstrong said the applications were part of a process Global
  had commenced to assess conventional oil and gas opportunities in
  established petroleum producing regions in Queensland.
  
  
  "We plan to continue to seek involvement in other Queensland-based
  oil and gas projects with a view to generating early cash flow for
  the Company," he said.
  
  
  Global currently has a Supplementary Prospectus in the market, with
  plans to join the ASX lists next month and to commence exploration in
  the December quarter.
  
  
  The Supplementary Prospectus is for a minimum of $2 million with an
  allowance for oversubscriptions of $1 million, based on the issue of
  8 million shares at $0.25 cents each.
  
  
  The Offer's closing date is 30 September.

  The operator of the 4 Kenya blocks, in which Global Petroleum Limited
  has a 20% interest, and where the operator has identified numerous
  "prospects", has issued a preliminary budget for next year which
  includes seismic. The operator is investigating the availability of
  contractors to record the seismic surveys in the first quarter of
  2003. If this can be done, it could advance to an earlier time the
  drilling that is presently planned in these areas for late 2004.
