:AUCAF) is pleased to announce that the Operator of VIC/P54 states that the Longtom-3 well was spudded on Tuesday, July 11th. The well is being drilled utilizing the Ocean Patriot drilling rig. The operator has a 100% interest in the Longtom Gas Project which also includes front end engineering design studies based on the analysis of newly available seismic data.

 by 38% to 438 Bcf of possible gas reserves.

The well is located in VIC/P54, which consists of 155,676 gross acres located in the offshore Gippsland Basin, Victoria. A 36" hole has been drilled to 112 meters measured depth. 30" casing is currently being set in the hole. Once this operation is completed a pilot hole will then be drilled to a planned total depth of 3330 meters to intersect In a relational database, to match two files and produce a third file with records that are common in both. For example, intersecting an American file and a programmer file would yield American programmers.  the targeted sands. After that the pilot hole will then be plugged back and the horizontal well bore will be drilled through the Longtom gas sands. On the current schedule, it is anticipated that the pilot hole will reach total depth by July 26th.

The Longtom-3 well is designed to evaluate the extent and productivity of gas bearing reservoirs encountered in the Emperor formation by the Longtom-1 and Longtom-2 wells. The Longtom-2 well intersected 96 meters of net gas sands over a gross interval of 260 meters. The lower reservoir section in Longtom-2 flowed at a stabilized rate of 18-19 mmcf/day over a 12 hour period -- an excellent result confirming the commercial potential of the previously untested lower reservoir section in Longtom. Longtom-3 will be drilled approximately 1.2 kilometers south-west from the Longtom-2 location.

ACOR is also pleased to announce that the operator of VIC/P54 has signed the Longtom Gas Sales and Toll Processing Agreement with Santos. The agreement will enable the operator of VIC/P54 to process and sell up to 350 BCF of gas over 12 years (with an option for additional 91 BCF of gas) from the Longtom Gas Field located in Bass Strait Bass Strait (băs), channel, 80 to 150 mi (129–241 km) wide, between Tasmania and Victoria, SE Australia, connecting the Indian Ocean and Tasman Sea; Port Phillip Bay and Melbourne are on the northwest coast.  on ACOR's ORRI.

The gas from VIC/P54 will be processed through Santos existing Patricia Baleen baleen: see whale.  facilities near Orbost in Victoria. The Longtom Gas Sales Agreement with Santos is conditional on the successful completion of the Longtom-3 appraisal well and the operator of VIC/P54 is confident that this will be achieved.

Upon a successful completion of Longtom-3, the first gas is anticipated to flow from the Longtom Gas Field by mid 2008.

The Longtom-3 well will be complex and will cost approximately $35 million to drill and complete, roughly double the average cost of a Bass Strait (Gippsland Basin) well.

ACOR anticipates that the ORRI under VIC/P54 will prove to be a substantial resource capable of delivering significant long term cash flow and value for our shareholders.

The $210 Billion Dollar Neighborhood

When purchasing Real Estate you are always told, Location, Location, & Location, this great location is called the Gippsland Basin. ACOR management feels ACOR's ORRI & Working Interest assets VIC/P54, VIC/P53, VIC/P45 & VIC/P60 are located in a great neighborhood. For example, some of the very best oil production in the world is the found in the Halibut halibut: see flatfish.

The nine giant oil & gas fields near ACOR's ORRI have some very impressive production figures as shown below. The fields are still producing.
1. Kingfish Field has produced 1,100,000,000 barrels of oil or
   $77,000,000,000 at current market prices of $70.00 per barrel.

2. Bream Field has produced 88,000,000 barrels of oil or

3. Barracouta Field has produced 1.1 TCF of gas or $2,750,000,000

4. Snapper Field has produced 630 BCF of gas or $1,575,000,000 at
   $2.50 per mcf gas prices. The nearest well in the Snapper Field is
   approx. 1 mile from ACOR's VIC/P53 lease line. ACOR's Seismic work
   shows a seismic high coming from the Snapper Field possibly
   extending over into Permit 53. The Snapper Field has produced an
   avg. of approximately 105 BCF of gas per well.

5. Marlin Field has produced 2.4 TCF of gas or $6,000,000,000 at
   $2.50 per mcf gas prices.

About VIC/P53

VIC/P53 consists of 182,858 gross acres. The WI partner of VIC/P53 has completed the shooting of 524 square kilometers of high resolution 3D seismic data on VIC/P53 at an estimated cost of $US5,000,000. One of the prime purposes of the 3D seismic survey in VIC/P53 was to investigate the area to the east of the Veilfin-1 well, which produced oil and gas shows, referred to as the Bazzard Lead.

The WI partner is now processing the seismic data and will employ leading interpretation and depth conversion experts to interpret the data and to carry out detailed depth conversion calculations. By 2006, the operator plans to have completed its studies and to be then ready to drill a well in the Permit, subject to rig availability.

VIC/P53 is considered prospective for oil and gas at the top Latrobe and also at deeper intra Latrobe levels. VIC/P53 is surrounded by the oil and gas producing fields held by EXXON/BHP and is 1.8 miles from the Halibut Field. The location, adjacent to this infrastructure, and proximity to pipelines, processing facilities and major markets, offers potential advantage through infrastructure savings and gives encouragement to participation in VIC/P53.

On mapping there are 14 structures on VIC/P45, which includes one oil and gas field discovery with 16 pays and over 1,000 feet of pay section and a second with one gas pay section. This was a discovery well drilled off projected prospects.

Apache has agreed to pay 100% of the cost to drill the 1st well; in return Apache will earn a 66.6667% working interest. Depending on the results from the 1st well, Apache may elect to drill a second well and pay 100% of the cost to drill the second well. In addition, Apache has undertaken to assume its share of Royalty obligations to third parties. Apache will begin to select the drilling location for their 1st well. The well is planned to be drilled after a suitable drilling rig can be contracted.
