Drilling Activity Summary
Description
Beach Energy began a four-well appraisal program of the Butlers oil field at #10-Butler in the PEL 92 exploration license. The well will be targeting the Namur Sandstone, which is the primary producing reservoir in the field. The #10-Butler is about 540 m southeast of previously drilled #6-Butlers, and it will test the southeastern field boundary with a planned depth of 1,659 m. The additional wells, #11-Butlers, #12-Butlers and #13-Butlers, will be targeting the Namur Sandstone which is the primary producing reservoir in the field. The appraisal wells will enable development locations to be selected for future field development in South Australia. The Butlers campaign is to be followed by two wells at the Rincon oil field. Adelaide, South Australia-based operator Beach Energy holds a 75% interest with partner Cooper Energy, which holds a 25% interest in the joint venture.
