Origin Energy to Frack Amungee NW-1H in Australia's Beetaloo Shale Basin

Falcon Oil & Gas on Wednesday said operations to re-enter the Amungee NW-1H well has begun.

The company’s operating partner, Origin Energy, expects the running of production casing and cementing on this well to be completed by the end of June. A multi-stage fracture stimulation programme to test the Middle Velkerri “B” shale reservoir will be performed on Amungee NW-1H by the end of July, followed by a 90 day production testing program.

Amungee NW-1H in Australia’s Beetaloo shale basin was drilled last year.

Also, Falcon said civil works at the Beetaloo W-1 vertical well commenced mid-May 2016. Spudding of this well will take place in July after the rig is released from the Amungee NW-1H well.
