The Brisbane-headquartered QGC told the ASX yesterday that Argyle-2R, which spudded in permit ATP-620P on December 13, was re-entered and reached a total depth of 590m after intersecting 14.3m of gassy coal in the lower Juandah and Taroom Coal Measures. This took the total coal intersected by the well to 24.6m.
Wireline logs had been run and a cement plug placed to separate the Juandah and Taroom coal measures.
Argyle-2R was now under-reaming all significant seams in the upper Juandah Coal Measures Walloon subgroup. After under-reaming was complete, the well would be cleaned up and completed as a production test well for the Macalister Upper, Macalister Lower, Nangram, Wambo, Iona and Argyle seams of the upper Juandah Coal Measures.
