Drilling Activity Summary
Description
n Western Australia’s Perth Basin, Sydney-based operator Australia Worldwide Exploration Ltd. (AWE) announced that wireline log and pressure data from appraisal well #3-Waitsia confirmed the southern extension of Waitsia Field by encountering gas shows across a 150-m gross interval including the Kingia and High Cliff sandstone reservoir targets. The well was drilled to 3,612 m and gas shows were encountered in Kingia and High Cliff sandstone intervals as well as minor shows in the Irwin River Coal Measures. Three sections of core were cut in Kingia reservoir, and the well has been cased and suspended for future testing and production. The gross Kingia reservoir interval of 52 m contains 20 m of net gas pay with good reservoir quality. The Kingia net reservoir interval in #3-Waitsia is approximately double that observed in other wells in the field and confirms the laterally extensive nature of the reservoir. The High Cliff Sandstone reservoir interval was gas-bearing at 3,360 m. The partners in permit area L1/L2 are AWE and Origin Energy Ltd.
