Drilling Activity Summary

Description

Santos Ltd., based in Adelaide, announced results from an appraisal well in Corvus Field at #2-Corvus. The Carnarvon Basin well is in permit Area WA-45-R and was drilled to 3,998 m. The well intersected a 638-m gross interval, one of the largest columns ever discovered across the North West Shelf. Wireline logging to date has confirmed 245 m of net hydrocarbon pay across the target reservoirs in the North Rankin and Mungaroo, between 3,360 and 3,998 m. Gas samples acquired from the appraisal well indicate a significantly higher condensate-to-gas ratio of up to 10 bbl/MMcf and a similar CO2 content of 7%. Once logging operations are completed, the well will be plugged and abandoned as planned .
