    Heres another article for you guys which I received today. Will apologise if it a old article but the report is attached to which is like 40 pages long.



    Ultra Clean Fuel Potential for NT Boarder Coal Seams


    REPORT OUTLINES "ULTRA-CLEAN" FUEL POTENTIAL OF NT/SA BORDER COAL SEAMS


    Vast potential resources of coal described as a viable Exploration Target in an area of the
    Simpson Desert straddling the South Australian-Northern Territory border could yield a major
    source of highly marketable "ultra-clean" middle distillate fuels through modern underground
    coal gasification technologies, according to an independent report by Mulready Consulting
    Services released today.

    The independent report, prepared for Perth-based Central Petroleum Limited (ASX: "CTP")
    estimates that a "best" case recoverable prospective resource of 1.25 trillion barrels of liquid
    petroleum products produced by "syngas" in a Gas to Liquids (GTL) process may be possible
    from Central's tenements, which cover a large portion of the Pedirka Basin.

    Central said the findings added weight to its goal to develop a large-scale GTL processing plant
    in Alice Springs, to produce "ultra-clean" diesel, jet fuel or naphtha for a global market driven by
    the trend to more energy-efficient vehicles.

    "The recent emergence of sophisticated Underground Coal Gasification (UCG) and GTL
    technologies in Australia is paving the way for us to possibly unlock a huge unutilised potential
    resource in Central Australia, and create a UCG/GTL operation of major national significance,"
    Central Petroleum's Managing Director, Mr John Heugh, said.

    Today's report follows Central's announcement earlier this year of a one-trillion-tonne plus
    black coal Exploration Target at between 200 and 1,000 metres depth within the Early Permian
    Purni Formation of the Pedirka Basin, including significant coal thicknesses of well over 100
    metres of cumulative coal seams.

    "The Mulready report estimates that the "best" case (mid-case) syngas prospective resource
    which may be available via UCG processes in our Pedirka Basin petroleum acreage could
    produce about 1.25 trillion barrels of liquid gas in a GTL plant or plants, which would be
    sufficient to fuel a 140,000 barrel-a-day gas-to-liquids plant for about 27,000 years," Mr Heugh
    said. "The UCG technology has not been proven at large commercial scale in the west however
    and the Exploration Target remains just that until more wells are drilled."
    "In this era of growing energy efficiency and the desire for ever cleaner fuels, liquid
    hydrocarbons are commanding a premium over gas and are much simpler to transport and
    easy to sell ­ not only for transport and electricity, but for the manufacture of chemicals,
    solvents, fertilizers, and numerous other consumer products.

    "We are looking at the findings of this report alongside our pre-feasibility study into the potential
    for a large-scale GTL plant, which we believe could attract commercial interest from one of the
    larger global petroleum corporations," Mr Heugh said.

    "With global markets of clean liquid petroleum products growing by the day, and the potential
    for our domestic market to also grow rapidly if gas sales prices rise, we believe there is a huge
    market for these products ­ and certainly these factors may be enough to justify construction of
    a GTL plant or plants if such resources are eventually defined by further drilling."

    "Our early drilling results also suggest that the coals in the Pedirka Basin have reasonably fit for
    purpose qualities and adequate macro and micro permeability, which are fundamental
    parameters for UCG production," he said.
