Drilling Activity Summary
Description
In the Western Australia Block 469, Adelaide-based Strike Energy has reported hydrocarbon shows in Lesueur and Woodada formations at exploration well #2-West Erregulla in the North Perth Basin. According to the company, good hydrocarbons have been observed, and both formations had fair-to-good visual porosity and appear better than the offset well #1-West Erregulla. The hydrocarbon-bearing formations will be further evaluated with open-hole wireline logging. Strike plans to test the secondary conventional gas target of the well and the Basal Wagina Sandstone and will be targeting analogous Permian gas sands of a similar nature as the Waitsia gas discovery. The well has a planned depth of 5,200 m and will penetrate two additional independent reservoir targets including a conventional gas target in Basal Wagina sandstones and the primary gas sand sequence in the Kingia High Cliff. Strike Energy is the operator with 50% interest in EP469 and its wells in partnership with Warrego Energy, with the remaining 50%.
