Senex Flows gas from Oz Cooper Basin Well
Senex Energy has completed the initial flow test of the Gemba-1 gas exploration well in Australia’s Cooper Basin, with stabilised flow rates of about 8mn ft3/day, it said December 17.
The Gemba-1 is located on the southwest margin of the Allunga Trough, close to existing infrastructure and approximately 37 km south west of the Moomba processing facility. Preliminary interpretation of volumes indicates pre-drill estimate of 15bn ft3 of ultimate gas recovery may be exceeded, Senex said.
In 3Q2019, Senex will undertake an extended production test across each of the discovered intervals to further assess the reservoir, deliverability and ultimate recovery of each zone. A development plan will be prepared based on test results, with potential for first gas sales by end of 2019.
Senex was granted A$5.26mn in funding from the South Australian government to progress the Gemba project.
