Drilling Activity Summary
Description
Strike Energy has announced a new conventional gas discovery at #2 West Erregulla in Kingia Sandstones in Western Australia. The well is in EP 469 and was drilled to 5,017 m and encountered a 97-m gas column with a net pay of 41 m and porosities of up to 19%. No gas-water contact has been observed. Drilling will continue through the High Cliff Formation. Strike operates EP 469 in the Perth Basin with a 50% interest, with Warrego Energy holding the balance. The #1990 West Erregulla well flowed 23 bbl of 47-degree-gravity oil during a drillstem test. Total prospective P50 resources are estimated to be 1.16 Tcf of gas and 7 MMbbl of oil. Strike is based in Thebarton, South Australia.
