Managing director Ron Prefontaine declined to comment further on the issue to PNN. But it is known that the drilling operator was JD Drilling.
The Orallo South-1 core well reached a depth of 414.5m - 120m short of target depth - before operations were suspended.
"It is planned to deepen the well to target depth of around 535 metres after arrangements for a new coring rig have been finalised," Bow said in its ASX release.
"Production drilling is intended to resume once a new drilling contractor is sourced and likely after the initial pump tests are completed.
"Planning and equipment procurement for the initial pump test of Taringa South-1, Orallo North-1, and Carnarvon-1 is in progress along with investigations of long-term water treatment solutions."
