In South Australia's Cooper Basin, Beach Energy Ltd. completed fracture stimulating #1-Encounter in PEL218. According to the company, the Patchawarra (Roseneath shale, Epsilon, and Murteree shale) flowed up to 750,000 cu. ft. per day. A second phase fracture stimulation over a 250-meter section had a peak gas flow of 1.3 million cu. ft. per day. The #1-Encounter will be flow-tested to analyze zone contributions by the various producing sections. Adelaide-based Beach is the operator of PEL218 and #1-Encounter with 90% interest in partnership with Adelaide Energy holding the remaining 10%.
