QGC weekly report: Kenya #5 (PL 228, Origin CSG 40.625%) reached 734.8m with 30.1m of gassy coal and is cased, awaiting a workover rig. Completes the reserves-certification five-spot drilling; earlier it was delayed by rig mast damage. Other QGC wells reported; no flow results.
Victoria Petroleum says Origin's Jingemia-11 logs show the full 31m Dongara Sandstone, with a 23m oil column over an ~8m partly swept zone, 14m updip of the best producer. Casing is being run to complete it as a producer; field target is about 5,000 bopd from 3,000.
Victoria Petroleum: wireline logging under way at Jingemia-11 after reaching 2,606m TD. Preliminary logs still indicate oil-saturated Dongara Sandstone from 2,489 to 2,520m. No new result.
Victoria Petroleum says Jingemia-11 reached total depth of 2,606m and is being prepared for wireline logging. Preliminary logs suggest the whole Dongara Sandstone is likely oil-saturated, with the top 10m updip of the best producing well. Repeats Origin's update.
Beach weekly report: Moomba-177 (Origin 13%) cased and suspended at 2,371m for later deepening by a specialised rig. Epsilon-11 (13%) drilling ahead at 1,890m. No flow results.
Origin says Jingemia 11 hit the Dongara Sandstone at 2,489m, about 10m updip of the field's previous highest well. Early logs suggest the full ~31m reservoir is likely oil-saturated. Well will be drilled to 2,614m and connected to the Jingemia facility.
ARC Energy (44.141% partner) re-releases Origin's Jingemia 11 update: top Dongara Sandstone at 2,489m, 10m updip of previous highest well, full ~31m likely oil-saturated. No new information.
Victoria Petroleum reports good oil shows in the Dongara Sandstone target at Jingemia-11 (Origin 49.189%) over 2,489-2,520m. It expects completion could lift field output from 3,200 to about 5,000 bopd. Early, pre-testing indication.
Beach weekly report: Dullingari-59 (Origin 13%) cased and suspended at 1,828m for future completion as an oil producer. Moomba-177 (13%) drilling ahead at 1,813m. No flow results.
Victoria Petroleum update: Jingemia-11 (Origin operator, 49.189%) was preparing to set casing at 534m. Repeats earlier planned depth of about 2,614m; no results yet.
Origin spudded the Jingemia 11 oil development well (Origin 49.189%, operator) in L14 on 28 Feb, targeting the Dongara Sandstone at about 2,490m. Planned depth about 2,614m, roughly 18 days to drill and complete.
Victoria Petroleum (5% holder) reports Jingemia-11 in L14 started drilling, targeting about 2,614m depth. It says success could lift field output to roughly 5,000 bopd; Origin operates with 49.189%. Largely duplicates Origin's own release.
Beach weekly report: Coonaberry-2 (Origin 16%) rig released with production casing set at 2,833m TD; Fly Lake-22 (13%) rig released at 2,941m TD, casing set; Dullingari-59 (13%) casing set. No flow results.
ARC says Eremia 7 (Origin 50%) is completed as an oil producer, with a total original oil column of 24.5m, about 10m partly swept. Clean-up flow under way before tie-in to Hovea-Eremia facilities; rig moves to Jingemia 11.
Beach weekly report: Coonaberry-2 (Origin 16%) reached 2,833m TD and is preparing for logging; Dullingari-59 (13%) at 1,828m TD; Fly Lake-22 (13%) drilling in basement at 2,939m after the stuck pipe. No results given.
QGC weekly report: Kenya #4 (Origin CSG 40.625%) reached 735m with 25.7m of gassy coal and is cased, awaiting a workover rig. Rig mast damaged in a road slip, 7-10 days to repair, delaying Kenya #5. Woleebee Creek #3 also awaits workover rig.
Origin's own update on Eremia 7 (Origin 50%, ARC operator): total depth 2,296m measured on 14 Feb, Dongara Sandstone 2m above the best previous intersection (Eremia 6). Preliminary logs show an 11m oil column over ~16m partly swept zone; to be cased as producer.
Eremia 7 (Origin 50%) reached 2,996m and hit the Dongara Sandstone about 12m high to prognosis, with an 11m oil column. It will be cased as an oil producer; a good sign for Eremia field reserves.
Beach weekly report: Dullingari-58 (Origin 13%) is cased and suspended after a test recovered 5 barrels of oil. Fly Lake-22 is jarring to free stuck drill pipe; Coonaberry-2 (16%) resumed drilling.
QGC weekly report: Kenya #2 (Origin CSG 40.625%) reached 735m with 26.3m of gassy coal; Kenya #4 is cased and waiting on cement. Routine drilling in the Surat CSG program.
Beach weekly report: Dullingari-58 (Origin 13%) is at 1,822m TD, running logs. Fly Lake 22 (13%) is drilling surface hole; Coonaberry-2 (16%) remains suspended for road closures. No results.
Origin's own release of the Eremia 7 appraisal well start (50% Origin, ARC operator), duplicating ARC's announcement. Targets the Dongara Sandstone near the field crest, planned depth about 2,263m.
ARC spudded the Eremia 7 oil appraisal well (Origin 50%) in Perth Basin L1 on 3 February, targeting the Dongara Sandstone at about 2,117m. Planned total depth 2,263m; follows the Eremia 6 well.
