Cooper Energy and AWE, co-owners of the Casino-Henry gas project off south-east Australia, are preparing for drilling activity as they seek to boost gas supply into local markets.

Plans are under way to drill the Henry-3 production well as part of the stage three development of the Casino-Henry project, but the immediate priority is to drill a workover in the first quarter of 2018 on the Casino-5 production well, which was shut in some months ago due to an annulus leak.
