The Mt Taurus-1 production well, located less than five kilometres from the site of the new gas plant under construction at Rosalind Park, was spudded late last week.
Mt Taurus-1 is being drilled within Sydney Gas’ high production fairway, part of the Camden Gas Project. Once drilled, it will be fracture stimulated and completed. The well is planned to intersect the Bulli coal seam within the upper Permian Illawarra Coal Measures at a depth 590m.
When dewatered, this well will be put on a production flow test program, following which it is planned to tie this well into the gas gathering system that will deliver gas to the new gas plant for sale to AGL Wholesale Gas.
