Mahalo Gas Project – Struan 2 vertical well spuds

Struan 2 spudded on Friday 9 November 2018

Second well of a 5 well programme, including 2 dual lateral wells

Comet Ridge Limited (ASX:COI) is pleased to advise that the Struan 2 vertical well was spudded at 0930 hrs on Friday 9 November 2018. Since spudding, the 12-1/4” surface hole was drilled, 9-5/8” casing run and cemented, 8-1/2” intermediate hole drilled and 7” casing run and cemented. At 0600 hrs on 12 November, coring was ongoing at 395 metres. The well is planned to be drilled to a total depth of approximately 550 metres with core taken over the entire Bandanna coal sequence for gas content analysis followed by a full suite of wireline logs including wireline deployed tools to measure permeability.

Struan 2 is located in the north west of the permit area, south west of the Mahalo Pilot where the top of the coal seam section is at a depth of slightly greater than 300 metres.

Once drilled, Struan 2 will then be intersected by Struan 3, the first dual lateral well to be drilled in the Mahalo Gas Project.

After Struan 2 and 3 have 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) and a cross-section view of the Struan wells is shown in Figure 2 (also 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 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%).
