Buru Energy Underway At Western Australia Exploration Well
Drilling Activity Details
Drilling Activity Summary
Description
Buru Energy has spudded exploration well #1-Miani in Western Australia’s onshore Production License L8. The well has a planned depth of 2,400 m and will be testing conventional oil in a stratigraphic trap. According to the West Perth-based company, the trap was interpreted to have been formed by a fault bounded collapse feature enhanced by hydrothermal dolomitization of Nullara reefal carbonates. The structure is well defined by 3-D seismic data and is analogous to features in major North America oil and gas accumulations. The feature being tested has the potential to hold significant resources of conventional oil in a new play type where in Australia where Devonian reefs have these features in a setting to be directly charged with oil. Buru Energy has 100% equity in the well and in Production License L8.
