Australian AWE Spuds Waitsia-4 Appraisal Well

Australian AWE has commenced drilling the Waitsia-4 appraisal well in the Western Australian Waitsia gas field, it said July 10.

The Waitsia-4 well is forecast to take about five weeks in total to complete. The well is designed to appraise the gas potential in the eastern extension of the Waitsia field, with primary targets being conventional reservoirs in the Kingia and High Cliff Sandstones.

Waitsia-4 is the last appraisal well planned for the Waitsia field in 2017.

Discovered in September 2014, the Waitsia field is regarded as the largest onshore conventional gas discovery in Australia for the last 30 years.
