The Nafta-1 rig has been released from the NS377-5 oil field development well location. The ESP has been successfully commissioned and the well was pumped to clean up for approximately two hours at a steady rate of 2500 bfpd. The well results increase the confidence that an initial combined rate in excess of 3,000 bopd can be achieved when the NS377-3 and NS377-5 wells are brought on line later this year (Beach 20%).
Arrowie Basin (South Australia) - Paralana-2 Geothermal Well
Temperature measurements have been undertaken at the Paralana-2 geothermal well. The temperature measured at 3,674 metres using a maximum recording thermometer is 1760C, which exceeds the minimum temperature of 1700C targeted for the development of the Paralana resource (Beach earning 21%).
