    Oct. 14, 2019 | A drone captures a late-night image of the West Erregulla-2 wellsite in the onshore North Perth basin of Western Australia. A 50-50 joint venture led by Strike Energy Ltd. with Warrego Energy Ltd. last month confirmed a natural gas discovery in a third reservoir in the well. Strike said gas was encountered in the High Cliff sandstone reservoir at a depth of 4,918 m with a gross column of at least 22 m thickness. The entire 22-m section was found to be gas-saturated with a net pay of 10 m and an average porosity of 10.3%. Some sections had a porosity up to 16%. Photo from Strike Energy.
