Tamboran spuds Tanumbirini 3H well in Beetaloo
Sydney-listed Tamboran Resources and Santos have spudded the Tanumbirini 3H (T3H) well in EP 161 in Beetaloo sub-basin in Northern Territory, Tamboran said on September 2.
T3H is currently ahead of schedule with the completion of the surface vertical hole section at 1,080 m. The forward plan is to drill the vertical and angle build section to approximately 3,800 m, prior to drilling approximately 1,000 m horizontal section in the primary target of the Mid-Velkerri 'B' shale, the company said.
Tanumbirini T2H (T2H) and T3H wells are expected to be fracture stimulated and flow tested prior to year-end 2021.
"Similar to our experience in other unconventional shale basins in the US, the learnings and knowledge gained by the recent T2H well are playing a considerable role in improving drilling efficiencies and reducing costs,” Tamboran CEO, Joel Riddle, said.
"Our team will incorporate the learnings and information from T2H and T3H into the well design for Maverick 1H, the well that Tamboran intends to drill in EP 136, its 100% owned and operated permit, in 2022,” he added.
