Action stations at Mirage-1



By Upstream staff 

Victoria Petroleum has said that its Mirage-1 well, in PEL 115, in the South Australian sector of the Cooper basin, is being cased for production as a new oilfield discovery.

Wire line logs, sidewall cores and down hole wire line formation sample testing run over the weekend indicate a gross oil column of 17 metres, co-venturer Roma Petroleum said. A potential 6 metres of net pay is interpreted from the logs and cores.

Roma Petroleum added that the total oil column will be tested through caseed hole with completion and production testing will start on 11 January 2005.

The determination of the Mirage field's oil reserves will be subject to production testing and further development drilling.

The Mirage stakeholders are operator Victoria Petroleum (40%), Roma Petroleum (20%), Impress Ventures (15%), Entek Energy (12.5%) and Tacnas (12/5%).
