The
Glyde-1
well
was
drilled
to
a
total
depth
of
698
metres
and
intersected
a
138
metre
zone
of
highly
carbonaceous,
gas-charged
Barney
Creek
shale
before
intersecting
the
Coxo
Dolomite
formation.
Armour
said
consistent
background
and
peak
gas
readings
were
observed
while
drilling
though
the
shale
interval
with
the
gas
generally
consisting
of
methane,
ethane,
propane,
butane
and
pentane.
It
added
that
carbon
dioxide
levels
in
the
well
were
“negligible”
and
that
no
water
had
been
encountered
during
drilling.
Gas
flares
were
also
noted
at
the
surface
from
the
Barney
Creek
shale…
