Senex Starts to Look for Next Generation Oil, Gas Targets

Senex Energy has commenced a 1,037 square kilometre survey in the South Australian Cooper Basin as part of an extensive program of seismic work to identify Senex’s next generation of oil and gas targets.

The Dundinna 3D seismic survey covers six operated petroleum exploration licences (PELs) in the north of South Australia’s Cooper Basin, Senex said.

The survey is expected to be completed early in the December quarter 2013 followed by data processing and definition of exploration targets by the September quarter 2014.

The objective of the Dundinna 3D survey is to identify prospective drilling locations within the Jurassic and Triassic formations such as the Namur, Birkhead, Hutton, Poolowanna, Tinchoo and Arrabury. The survey will also aid in identifying Permian structural and stratigraphically trapped oil and gas.

The Dundinna survey area adjoins the 792 km2 Cordillo 3D survey to the east and is along trend from the 316 km2 Lignum 3D survey to the west.
