This post by
alexei ii on an STX thread talking about the surprisingly high levels of permeability and porosity found 5km down at WE2 was popular.

Another item of interest to me is that the three-cornered bidding war to take over AWE didn't begin until AWE had flow-tested the last of four Waitsia wells. Warrego's announcement of May 2019 titled "West Errugulla-2 Update & Capital Raising" describes this on pages 12-14.
Does that imply that four wells or thereabouts will be required at West Errugulla before suitors are likely to make any bids?
If so, when might STX finish drilling and flow-testing four wells?
