Armour Plans Hydraulic Stimulation in NT

Armour Energy’s the Egilabria 2DW1 lateral gas appraisal well in Northern Territory has reached a total depth at 2102 metres and that casing was successfully cemented in place to appraise the lateral section of the highly prospective Lawn Shale. 

The company is now planning to perform an eight stage hydraulic stimulation treatment within these highly prospective intervals over the next month.

The Lawn Shale Formation contains a prospective resource of 22.5 Tcf of high quality gas, which could potentially feed 2 trains of LNG production, Armour said.

Over the coming weeks, the rig will move to Egilabria 4, which is 9.2 km northeast of Egilabria 2, to further test the Lawn Shale as well as the underlying Riversleigh sequence, targeting a further 18 Tcf of gas Prospective Resources, and a conventional target interval at the base of the Mesozoic sediments in the Carpentaria Basin (above the Lawn Shale).
