The company today said preliminary analysis at the well, which reached a total depth of 3490m, indicated a gross gas column of about 49m in good quality reservoir sandstones.
“Wireline logs are currently being run on what is interpreted to be a new gas field discovery,” Woodside said.
Drilled by the Jack Bates semi-submersible rig, the well, in permit WA-350-P, is about 180km northwest of Karratha and 6km east of the Pluto-2 appraisal well. Water depth is 178m.
Woodside has a 100% interest in permit WA-350-P, which also contains the Pluto gas field.
