The two key operators in Australia's most talked-about onshore shale exploration play are progressing their plans to resume drilling, writes Russell Searancke.
Origin Energy and its joint venture partner Falcon Oil & Gas have just received regulatory approval for the Kyalla-117 N2 horizontal appraisal well in the Beetaloo sub-basin for their planned 2019 drilling, stimulation, and well testing programme.
The well is targeting the Kyalla shale liquids-rich gas fairway, and drilling is expected to get under way in September, said Falcon.
