MEO Australia Spuds Heron South-1 Well

MEO Australia and operator Eni Australia Ltd (Eni) have spudded the Heron South-1 well. The key objectives of the well are to determine the productivity of the Elang-Plover reservoir and the gas composition.   The Greater Heron structure in NT/P68 has best estimate prospective resources of 4.96 trillion cubic feet of gas.

MEO discovered the Heron field in early 2008 with the Heron-2 well, which intersected more than 200 metres of gross gas pay in the Plover Sands in the Heron North structure and flowed gas to surface during a drill stem test.

The drilling program is expected to take around 60 days.
