Senex Flows Gas from Cooper Basin Well

Senex Energy has reported strong production testing results at the Vanessa conventional gas field in the South Australian Cooper Basin.

The Australia firm has completed production testing of the Vanessa-1ST exploration well, located in PEL 182 (Senex 57%, DrillSearch 43%), during which gas flowed to surface at an average rate of 5.0 million standard cubic feet per day (mmscf/d) from the Epsilon and Toolachee formations.

Material condensate was produced at a rate of 15 barrels per mmscf/d. Additional analysis is underway to confirm gas composition and associated liquids, the company said.

The Vanessa-1ST well is located approx. 4 kms from existing gas transmission infrastructure, with the PEL 182 joint venture in the final stages of planning for the commercialisation of this gas field. The joint venture plans to bring the well online and then consider further appraisal and development opportunities, Senex added.
