Drilling Activity Summary
Description
Denver-based Falcon Oil & Gas is under way with production testing at #1H Amungee NW in Australia’s Northern Territory. The venture is in the Beetaloo Sub-Basin. The test will determine whether all 11 fractured stages contributed to the initial extended production test in 2016. The horizontal well was drilled to a total depth of 1,100 m and it was fractured along the entire horizontal section. The preliminary test initially flowed between 800 Mcf and 1.2 MMcf of gas per day after fracturing. The initial estimates indicate a dry gas composition with less than 4% CO2. Falcon hit a 30-m accumulation with 4% to 7.5% porosity, a gas saturation range of 50% to 75% and permeability between 50 and 500 nanodarcies. Partners in the prospect are Origin Resources Ltd. (35%), Sasol Ltd. (35%) and operator Falcon (30%). Falcon retains a 30% interest in 4.6 million gross acres of the Beetaloo Basin.
