Oz Strike Completes Walyering 3D Seismic Acquisition
Australian oil and gas explorer Strike Energy has completed the Walyering 3D seismic acquisition which included over 90 km² of data, it said December 6.
“The acquisition was completed on time and represents the beginning of an exciting exploration programme that will continue within the Strike 100% owned Perth Basin acreage throughout 2020,” the company said.
The 3D seismic was shot over a known hydrocarbon accumulation and upon initial inspection “is of high quality and is the first dataset of its kind generated within the broader area”. Strike said it will now look to identify drilling targets for future programmes.
Strike has 100% equity ownership of the Walyering prospects within EP447 in Western Australia as well as the adjoining leases. Walyering prospects which are now subject to the interpretation of the new data may contain up to 263bn ft3 and 6.3mn barrels of associated condensate.
Uplifts in prospectivity from the new 3D seismic may have a compounding effect on Strike’s surrounding acreage, the company said.
