Drilling Activity Summary
Description
Otway Energy Ltd. completed a Penola Trough well at #1-Nangwarry and is a new field gas discovery in South Australia. The well was drilled to 4,300 m in Pretty Hill Sandstone and encountered a gross gas column at 65 m as well as gas shows through the interval. This is the third successive discovery within this region over the past two years, including #1-Nangwarry, #3ST1-Haselgrove (Beach Energy) and #1 DW1 Dombey (Beach/Cooper Energy). These wells indicate the potential of this part of the onshore Otway Basin, both in South Australia as well a larger license area in Victoria. Additional testing is planned to further define and production test the reservoir sections. Otway’s headquarters are in Sydney.
