AWE started testing operations earlier this week at Waitsia-1, with the first flow test being carried out over a 23.5 metre interval in the High Cliff sandstone at a depth of between 3382 and 3405.5 metres.
Following a seven-hour clean up period, the well flowed gas at a rate of 24.7 million cubic feet per day over a one-hour period, with AWE noting the flows were constrained by tubing size.
“This is an excellent result and confirms the production potential of the conventional High Cliff sandstone in the field,” AWE managing director Bruce Clement said.
“We now have two successful well tests at Senecio-3 and Waitsia-1, and we are moving forward confidently with our plans for the first stage of development.”
