Drilling Activity Details
Australia
Drilling Activity Summary
Description
Sentry Petroleum Ltd. reported that a coal-seam gas well, #1-CSG Talundilly, in Queensland, Australia's Block ATP, encountered 12.7 meters of net coal that were canistered immediately for gas-desorption measurements. According to the company, gas was observed from the coal cores, but it plans additional desorption tests before determining commerciality of the deposit. The well targeted the Winton coal and gas shale formation and was cored from 200 to 400 meters. It was drilled to the target depth of 550 meters; wireline logs were run to confirm the coal thickness. The rig is now moving to a nearby location to drill appraisal wells. Denver-based Sentry has also reacquired all of its oil, gas and coal-seam gas rights in ATP865 and ATP866 in Queensland from Sino American Oil. They were granted to that company in March. Sentry now holds 100% interest in all oil, gas and coal-seam gas interests over a permit area of approximately 17,700 sq. kilometers. Sentry is operator of Block ATP862 and #1-CSG Talundilly, with 100% interest.
