Central Petroleum spuds Range-9 well in Queensland
Central Petroleum on February 17 said that its Range-9, the second of two step-out pilot wells at Range gas project in Queensland, has spudded. The well has a target depth of 700 m below the rotary table and will be completed across the three seams of the Walloons coal measures.
Range-10, the first well in the Range step-out pilot well drilling programme, has been successfully drilled, cased and suspended with a slotted liner over the coals in preparation for completion. Total depth was reached at 624 m below the rotary table with 28.6m of net coal recorded, the company said.
The planned water production testing at both Range 9 and 10 will provide technical insight into well performance that is necessary to guide the forward appraisal programme and pathway to a final investment decision, Central added.
Both Range 9 and 10 will be brought online once both wells have been completed and the wellhead facilities commissioned which is currently scheduled for late March. The wells will then be tested over several months to understand water production rates.
