Norwest Energy NL spudded the Lockyer-2 gas appraisal well in EP368, onshore Perth basin, Australia, according to a Mar. 15 release by partner Energy Resources Ltd.
Lockyer-2 is a downdip step-out appraisal well to the Lockyer Deep-1 discovery, aimed at confirming the extension of the discovery to the northeast within the northern segment of the greater Lockyer structure (segment defined due to the possibility of faulting across the structure).
Lockyer-2 has a planned total depth (TD) of 4,451 m TVDSS and the time required to reach TD is estimated at 35 days from spud.
In September 2021 the EP368 joint venture drilled the Lockyer Deep-1 gas discovery well, resulting in a significant conventional gas discovery that flowed up to 117 MMscfd on test.
Energy Resources Ltd. is operator at EP368 (80%) with Northwest Energy holding the remaining 20%.
