Spudded on Friday, May 5, Padulla-4 was designed to evaluate the characteristics of the Murta reservoir on the northern flank of the structure. It was drilled to a total depth of 1260m.
The rig will now move to spud the next appraisal well, Padulla-7, in the program.
The previous well, Padulla-3, was cased and suspended as a producer from the Murta and Cadna-Owie formations.
All three wells are follow-ups to the Murta Formation oil discovery made by Padulla-2 last year.
Stuart holds a 100% interest in PEL 113, located in the Cooper/Eromanga Basin.
