AWE Ltd.
AWE reported that at 0600 hours (WST) the Arrowsmith-2 exploration well was drilling ahead in 8-1/2" hole at a measured depth of 3,102 meters. During the week, two conventional cores were cut in the well; 55 meters in the Carynginia Formation and 45 meters in the Irwin River Coal Measures. Progress for the week was 811 meters.
The Arrowsmith-2 well is designed to test the unconventional gas potential of the Carynginia Formation, Irwin River Coal Measures and Kockatea Shale and will be drilled to a proposed total depth of approximately 3,420 meters.
The well is located approximately 25 kilometers from the Woodada Deep-1 well (deepened by AWE in April 2010 to acquire cores over the Carynginia Shale interval), and approximately 500 meters south east of the Arrowsmith-1 well, which tested gas from the Carynginia Formation.
On completion of drilling, the well will be suspended for future fracture stimulation and testing which is planned for later in the year.
