Six wells have been planned for the period with three of the first of five wells slated for the South Australian Cooper Basin, and two wells in the Surat Basin with Oilex before its final Coal Bed Methane well in Wyoming, USA.

The late August drilling programs in the South Australian Cooper Basin and Queensland Surat Basin will see two rigs operating at the same time into September.

Over the following three months a further eight wells are expected to be drilled for a total of 14 wells over the next six months.
