Drilling Activity Summary
Description
Brisbane-based Senex Energy Ltd. announced results from a South Australia exploration well in the Cooper Basin. The #1-Gemba in PEL 516 had stabilized flow rates of approximately 8 MMcf of gas per day from the Dullingari group. According to the company, preliminary interpretation of volumes indicates the pre-drill estimate of 15 Bcf of ultimate gas recovery may be exceeded. An extended production test is planned for 2019, with potential for first gas by the end of the year. The well was designed to evaluate gas potential of Patchawarra Sandstones and intersected gas in the target zones, including in the deeper Dullingari group which represents a potential new gas play. The venture was completed with a seven-stage hydraulic fracturing program between 2,360 and 2,730 m. A seven-day flow test produced 44 MMcf of gas and 88 bbl of liquids. Senex also plans further appraisal of the Allunga Trough, including new-play potential of the Dullingari group.
