Mahalo Gas Project – Struan 2 Well Successfully Drilled & Struan 3 Spuds
➢ Struan 2 (vertical) well successfully drilled to 510 metres
➢ Struan 3 (dual lateral) well spudded and currently drilling at 537 metres in deviated hole
Comet Ridge Limited (ASX:COI) is pleased to advise that the Struan 2 vertical intercept well was successfully drilled to a total depth of 510 metres and the rig released at 2359 hrs on Wednesday, 14 November 2018. The rig was then moved approximately 450 metres to the west onto a new well pad, and the Struan 3 dual lateral well spudded on Saturday 17 November 2018 at 0445 hrs. At 0600 hrs this morning, the Struan 3 well was drilling ahead in the deviated hole at 537 metres at an inclination of 85.7 degrees.
This 8-1/2” hole will be drilled to the top of the Castor coal seam to approximately 570m where 7" production casing will be installed and cemented.
A 6-1/8" hole will be directionally drilled from that casing point, into the Pollux seam, intersecting the previously drilled Struan 2 vertical well and then continuing on within the seam. The Castor seam will then be drilled.

After Struan 3 has been drilled, the sequence for drilling further to the south is expected to be:
-
Sirius Road 1 (vertical well)
-
Sirius Road 2 (dual lateral well intersecting the Sirius Road 1 vertical well)
The locations of all these wells are shown in green in Figure 1 (above).
All three of the vertical wells drilled in this current programme, will be completed with tubing and pumps (with the smaller completions rig) and then put on line for production testing to gain longer term flow data. The Memooloo 2 well completion was successfully run last week with the smaller rig and that well is currently being readied for production testing.
The operations phase has three stages for the wells:
-
Drill
-
Complete with tubing and pump
-
Production test
Comet Ridge (40%) is operating under an Agency Agreement for Santos as Exploration Operator (30%). The other JV participant in the Mahalo block is APLNG (30%).
