Apache whoop at Brunello-1



By Upstream staff 

US independent Apache has struck gas in its Brunello-1 well in the Carnarvon basin off Western Australia, its third discovery on its WA-356-P permit, the company said.

Apache said it had flowed 72.5 million cubic feet of natural gas and 1239 barrels of condensate per day from the Triassic age Mungaroo formation during testing.

The Brunello-1 well hit 121 feet of net pay in a single zone. The well was drilled to 12,027 feet in 508 feet of water. The well lies 99 miles (160 kilometres) off Western Australia close to Apache’s Julimar-1 and Julimar East-1 discoveries.

Apache operates the WA-356-P permit with a 65% interest. Kuwait’s Kufpec holds the remaining stake.

Apache also said today it would drill three further gas prospects on the carnarvon basin by the end of the year.
