Mahalo Gas Project – Memooloo 2 well successfully drilled
➢ Memooloo 2 successfully drilled, with core obtained and brief flow tests conducted
- ➢ Rig now moving to second well in sequence, Struan 2
Comet Ridge Limited (ASX:COI) is pleased to advise that the drilling rig was released from the Memooloo 2 vertical well at 1230 hrs on Sunday 4 November 2018. The well was drilled to a total depth of 300 metres. Operations on the well progressed as planned with a total of 7.2 metres of net coal intersected and coring conducted throughout the entire coal sequence with excellent core recovery. Four, short duration, wireline-based flow tests were also conducted across the main seams, measuring good to excellent permeability values. The coal core obtained will now be sent for laboratory analysis for gas content and isotherm data, while the drilling rig and camp has commenced the move across to the second well in the programme (another vertical well) at Struan 2. See Figure 1 below. The rig move will take several days.
Comet Ridge Managing Director, Tor McCaul, said the well results are in line with expectations. He added that after the coring and short duration testing was conducted, the well was under-reamed before the wellhead was installed and the well suspended. Over the next one to two weeks, a smaller (workover) rig will arrive at Memooloo 2 to run the tubing and downhole water pump into the well so the well can then be production tested.
