Advent Energy Flows Gas from Bonaparte Basin Well

Advent Energy, an investee company of MEC Resources, has flowed gas at rates of up to 0.9 million cubic feet per day from its Waggon Creek 1 well onshore Bonaparte Basin, Western Australia, Proactive Investors Australia reported.

Gas samples from the flow tests shows similar gas properties with the gas samples obtained from the previously perforated upper zones, indicating a potential single gas column over this 217 metre interval with significant gas resource upside in this stratigraphic trap.

Waggon Creek-1 had flowed gas at a stabilised rate of about 1.07 million cubic feet per day (MMcfd) from two intervals, 384.1 metres to 390.1 metres and 393.1 metres to 395.1 metres, in the Milligans Formation sandstone during a short flow test in 2011.

Advent has a 100% interest in EP 386 and RL 1, with EP 386 having estimated mean prospective recoverable resources of 556 billion cubic feet of conventional gas.
