Senex Energy Ltd. has started production from the recently discovered Martlet oil field in the Western flank of the Cooper Basin, located in PEL 104 (Senex 60% and operator, Beach Energy Ltd. 40%) in Australia, Senex said in a press release.
The Martlet-1 well flow-tested at the equivalent of 5,149 bbl/d of fluid and 2,596 bbl/d of oil from the target Namur reservoir on a short-term test. The well was commissioned in early December, with initial production rates post-commissioning constrained to around 50% of capacity to accommodate the significant amount of liquids being produced (averaging around 850 bbl/d of oil). Construction has commenced on water management facilities, which, once complete, will increase production capacity from the field during second-half 2015.
