Beach Energy Completes Bauer Field Appraisal Well
Drilling Activity Details
Drilling Activity Summary
Description
Adelaide-based Beach Energy completed appraisal well, #24-Bauer, the southern-most well in Bauer Field located in PEL 91. The well was drilled to appraise a structural high between the Bauer and Chilton fields as a possible extension of the Bauer Field. The primary targets were the McKinlay Member and Namur Sandstone reservoirs, with Birkhead providing a secondary target. The well was cased and suspended as a future producer after it intersected a 3-m net oil column in the Namur Sandstone and a 3.5-m gross oil bearing interval in the overlaying McKinlay member. A follow-up appraisal well is planned at #25-Bauer on the northern flank of Bauer Field. The well will test a northern extension of the field and is targeting McKinley and Namur sandstone and Birkhead as a secondary target. Beach Energy is the operator of PEL 91 with 40% interest with partner Drillsearch Energy holding 60%.
