Buru Energy Spuds Canning Basin Appraisal Well

Buru Energy has spudded its Yulleroo 4 appraisal well of Yulleroo wet gas structure in the onshore Canning Basin. Yulleroo 4 is the first well in the Buru – Mitsubishi Corporation 2013 drilling program.

The well has a programmed total depth of 3,800 metres and is expected to take about 52 days to drill and suspend.

“The Yulleroo 4 well is therefore being deliberately drilled at the limits of structural closure of the Yulleroo  structure, as interpreted from the 3D seismic data acquired over the field in 2011.  The well will test the extent of the gas column in this part of the accumulation and is expected to confirm Buru’s interpretation that the Yulleroo field  is part of a geographically extensive basin centred gas accumulation extending beyond the mapped structural closure.  If this is proved to be the case, the Yulleroo area has the potential to hold multi TCF’s of gas,” Buru said in a statement.
