Description

Buru Energy plans to begin a three-well exploration drilling program and a seismic survey in the Canning Basin in Western Australia.

Exploration well #1-Rafael has a planned depth of 3,800 m and it will be followed by development well #8-Ungani and exploration well #1-Rafael. About 1,200 km of seismic surveying is planned — the Celestine 2D survey will be conducted across blocks EP 457 and EP 458 area to the southeast of Block 391. Buru Energy’s headquarters are in Perth.
