Australian independent Roc Oil has begun drilling the first of two exploration wells yesterday on the Dunsborough oil discovery and Frankland gas find in shallow water off Western Australia.
“These two wells in the offshore Perth Basin will go a long way towards determining the near-term potential for a new field development in the region,” said ROC’s chief executive, Dr John Doran.
The jack-up drilling rig Wilcraft started drilling the Lilac-1 exploration well, in 33 metres of water about 2.5 kilometres east of the Dunsborough-1 oil and gas discovery made in June last year.
Once Lilac-1 has been drilled, an appraisal well, Franklin-2, will be drilled.
Both wells are located in the WA286-P permit in the North Perth Basin, off Western Australia, and are expected to be completed by the end of the month.
“Although we can’t predict whether or not the wells will be successful we can definitely say that they will be interesting!” said Doran.
Participants ion the WA-286-P joint venture are Roc Oil (37.5%), AWE Oil (27.5%), ARC (30%) and CIECO Exploration and Production (5%).
