Drilling Activity Summary
Description
Beach Energy announced a gas discovery in the Otway Basin at exploration well #1-Enterprise in license VIC/P42(V). The well was drilled from an onshore location about 3.5 km north of Port Campbell, Victoria, and was directionally drilled using extended-reach techniques with a 3.2 km step-out. It was drilled to 4,974 m and hit the primary reservoir target, Upper Waarre. The well encountered a 146-m gas column, including 115 m of net gas pay with no gas-water contact identified. The well will be cased and suspended as a future producer. Adelaide-based Beach is the operator with 60% interest, and O.G. Energy holds the remaining 40%.
