Drilling Activity Summary

Description

A Cooper-Eromanga Basin gas discovery was reported by Real Energy Ltd, based in North Sydney, at exploration well #1-Queencliff in Queensland Block ATP 927P. The company reported that the well is producing from Permian Toolachee and Patchawarra. It was drilled to 3,219 m. Wireline logs, mudlogs gas readings and drill cuttings indicate gas-saturated formations. Analysis indicates the well encountered 32.5 m of net sandstone gas pay (from gross 66.5 m) in Toolachee and 34.8 m of net sandstone gas pay (from gross 87.5 m) in Patchawarra. In addition, the well also hit 10 m of net sandstone gas pay (from gross 30 m) in Triassic Paning Member of Nappamerri. The discovery is located approximately 668 m downdip from #1-Tamarama and outside any seismically mapped structural closure. The well will be cased and suspended for future flow testing. Production testing of #1-Tamarama and #1-Queenscliff will occur in early 2015. Sydney-based Real Energy is the operator of Block ATP 927P and #1-Queenscliff with 100% interest.
