Strike Energy announces gas discoveries in Western Australia

Sydney-listed Strike Energy announced on September 3 the discovery of multiple gas reserves at the Erregulla Deep-1 (ED-1) well in EP469, Western Australia. The ED-1 well, drilled to a total depth of 5,225m, is the deepest onshore well ever drilled in Australia, according to the company.

“The ED-1 well has made two high-quality, low-impurity conventional gas discoveries, both observed as blocky zones of good quality, gas-charged sandstone reservoir,” the company stated.

Strike Energy will now proceed to run the production liner and cement it in place before completing the well for production testing.

The company noted that the Erregulla Deep well will be completed as a future producer, and if the flow test is successful, it may add to the overall developable resource in EP469/L25, which includes the West Erregulla gas field’s independently estimated 452 PJ of 2P Reserves plus 2C Contingent Resources.

Strike is the operator of the EP469/L25 joint venture, which encompasses the West Erregulla gas field.
