The Patchawarra Trough discovery also confirms the potential of the tight sands and deep coals to host material gas volumes of the Permian tight-sand sequence that exists across the Patchawarra Trough. It tested a domal structure updip of #1-Paning at the top of Patchawarra, which covers an area of more than 36 sq. kilometers and intersected 47 meters of gas-bearing tight sandstones in the Lower Poolawanna, Epsilon and Patchawarra.
