Armour Energy Flows Gas from Egilabria 2 Shale Well in Queensland

Armour Energy has said that the Egilabria 2 shale well in Queensland has started to continuously flow gas. 

The company has not yet measured the flow rate. 

Egilabria 2 well is located in ATP1087 in North-West Queensland and is 100 percent owned and operated by Armour.   

The Lawn Shale is present in Egilabria 2 between depths of 1,583 and 1,720 metres, at 137m thick, and  hosts up to 8 percent Total Organic Content (TOC). 

Armour’s drilling activities in 2013 included the drilling of the Egilabria 4 well, approx. 7.5kms to the north which also tested both the Lawn and the deeper, larger Riversleigh Shale Formation 250m thick.  Gas shows were registered against both the Lawn and  Riversleigh Shales in Egilabria 4.   

The flow test results to date from Egiliabria 2 are considered to be very encouraging and substantiate the  potential  for  economic  gas  flows  from  successfully  stimulated  gas  wells  in  the  Lawn  Shale  in  the  forthcoming programs.
