Description
Sydney-based Empire Energy has received a permit to drill exploration well #1-Carpentaria in Northern Territory, Australia, in Block EP187. The 2,900-ft vertical venture will test Velkerri and Kyalla shales and will test Velkerri at approximately 2,200 m and Kyalla at about 1,200 m. Empire may perform a vertical fracture stimulation of Velkerri similar to the fracture stimulation a nearby exploratory, #1-Tanumbirini in adjoining Block EP161, followed by drilling and fracture stimulation of a horizontal well section for an extended production test.
