Metgasco Gets Environmental Clearance to Drill Conventional Gas Well in NSW

Metgasco has announced that it has received approval from the NSW State Government of the Review of Environment Factors (REF) for the Rosella E01 conventional well. 

“The REF approval will facilitate the commitment to a drilling rig and other services that are necessary for the drilling of Rosella E01.  These commitments are expected to be made shortly, after which the drilling schedule will become better defined.  The current target for drilling is April this year,” the company said.

According to the company, Rosella E01 well will test the commercially high risk conventional and tight gas potential of the larger Greater Mackellar structure and follows the discovery of gas in sands in the Kingfisher E01 well in 2009.
