Project Profile
Location: western flank of the Cooper Basin, South Australia, Australia
Area: 97.87 km2
Drilling Depth: 1,923 m
Start-up Year: -
PRL 98 covers an area of 97.87 km2 on the western flank of the Cooper Basin, South Australia. Sensation-1 oil exploration well located in PRL 98 on the western flank of the Cooper Basin, South Australia, was spudded on 18 May 2015. The Sensation-1 well location is 2.9 km north of the Callawonga Field. Sensation-1 is being drilled to a total depth of 1,923 metres in the Merrimelia Formation and is anticipated to be completed within 8 days. The primary target of Sensation-1 is the Namur Sandstone, which is the oil-bearing reservoir in several fields in PEL 92 (Callawonga, Parsons, Windmill). The secondary targets of Sensation-1 are the McKinlay Member, Birkhead Formation and Poolowanna Formation, which are oil-bearing in several PEL 92 fields (e.g. Callawonga, Christies, Sellicks). The drilling of Sensation-1 will conclude the current three well drilling campaign. The previous wells, Callawonga-10 and Callawonga-11 recorded development and appraisal successes.
