They are still in the Carynginia Shale when they took the second kick. The first one was at the top of the Shale, which they controlled & managed to drill 15m to the current depth before taking the second kick. Don't know what their modelled thickness of this Shale is for WE-3.
Once they get thro' this shaly section with a higher Mud-Wt, then they'll get to the Kingia Sand, Bit Basher & HiCSS.
So there is still a lot of time left before all their questions are answered to revisit their volumetric modelling etc.
Without gamma ray, resistivity, neutron/porosity log & pressure data they can't tweak the volumetrics simply based on ROP etc.
For now, they have 6m net pay from 150m gross in the DS /Upr WS/ Lwr WS, logged via the LWD tools.
Last casing run was 9" so they'll have to control the well, then set plugs before releasing the rig to the next location.
The flare in the photo versus the one from the Kingia flowtest at WE-2 look totally different. This one seems to b persistent gas coming from a fractured zone that the driller has to flare off. So eventually they'll need to isolate this section safely, then drill on to the target reservoir, ie, Kingia.
The wait continues....
