The well was abandoned after being deemed too tight for commercial production, forcing the company to reduce the productive area of the Yarrow Gas Field.
Yarrow-2 revealed that the gas accumulation in the Tirrawarra Sandstone intersected in Yarrow-1 had extended to the Yarrow-2 location.
Additionally the presence of new gas saturated Patchawarra Formation sandstones at the Yarrow-2 location was confirmed. These sandstones were not present at the Yarrow-1 location and offer the potential for additional gas (and possibly oil) down structure from Yarrow-1.
However, the tight reservoirs in both the Tirrawarra Sandstone and Patchawarra Formation have ruled out any commercial production from the well.
