Innamincka (5%) relayed Origin's 11 February Rockhopper 1 sidetrack update: oil recovered from two sands. It adds that a volumetric assessment will take about six months and that the Gentoo structure is upgraded in its view (Innamincka's opinion, not Origin's).

AWE (47.5%) relayed Origin's 11 February update: Rockhopper 1 sidetrack sampling recovered oil from two sandstones, with more sampling to come. Duplicate of the operator's release.
11 Feb 2010drilling result● Neutral
Rockhopper 1 sidetrack sampling recovered oil from two sandstones and water from another. The reservoirs were 40-60m deeper than in Rockhopper 1, with sands 1-9m thick. Other, possibly tighter, sands are still to be sampled. Origin says commercial significance is still too early to call.
10 Feb 2010drilling progress report● Neutral
Beach's weekly report: Santos-operated Coonatie-16 (Origin 10.54%) was at 1,132m, waiting on weather after heavy rain. Beach's own Egyptian well hit the top of an oil column. Nothing of note for Origin.
4 Feb 2010drilling progress report● Neutral
The Rockhopper 1 sidetrack reached total depth of 3,482m on 3 February after cutting three cores of about 37m in total. Wireline logging and sampling will now help establish fluid contents and column heights. Origin says it is too early to speculate on commercial significance.

28 Jan 2010drilling progress report● Neutral
The Rockhopper 1 sidetrack drilled 1,090m in the week, to 3,196m, and is running in to take core. No reservoir results were given. Continues the appraisal, with the volume of oil and gas still to be evaluated.

21 Jan 2010drilling progress report● Neutral
The Rockhopper 1 sidetrack restarted on 19 January after crane repairs and has drilled 136m, to 2,106m. It should reach the main reservoir in about a week, then take two more weeks for data and plugging. Continues the post-discovery appraisal.
20 Jan 2010drilling progress report● Neutral
Beach's weekly report: Santos-operated Cooper Basin wells, including Narcoonowie-10 (Origin 13.19%), cased and suspended as a future McKinlay oil producer at 1,352m, and Coonatie-17 and Chi-1 (Origin interests of 10.54% in one) drilling. Minor update.

14 Jan 2010drilling progress report▼ Bad
The Rockhopper 1 sidetrack is delayed: damage to the Kan Tan IV rig's cranes halted operations, with repairs expected to take about two weeks. The rig is on zero rate meanwhile. The discovery well's drilling and data collection were already complete.

Rockhopper 1 was confirmed as a new oil and gas discovery in the Bass Basin: wireline data show multiple hydrocarbon columns, with oil recovered from some sands and liquids-rich gas from others. Reservoir quality appears variable, and a downflank sidetrack is being considered. Commercial significance is not yet known.
