Drilling Activity Summary
Description
Adelaide-based Santos Ltd. announced results from its #134-Big Lake appraisal well drilled in South Australia’s Cooper-Eromanga Basin, PPL11. The well was drilled as part of a five-well appraisal and development campaign aimed at expanding the central development area of the field by targeting Patchawarra, Tirrawarra Sandstone and Merrimelia, with the Epsilon providing a secondary target. The well encountered a net gas pay of 143 m across a 681-m gross Permian section and confirmed down-flank extension of the gas reservoirs. It has been cased and suspended as a future Permian gas producer. Santos is drilling two other wells from the same drillpad at #136-Big Lake, #138-Big Lake and #135-Big Lake. Santos is the operator of PPL11 and Big Lake Field with 66.6% interest in partnership with Beach Energy, holding 20.21%, and Origin Energy, with the remaining 13.19%.
