Barossa in a good position

The positive results of ConocoPhillips’ ongoing Barossa appraisal drilling programme off northern Australia makes the field “well positioned to supply gas for either backfill or expansion at the Darwin LNG plant”, according to joint venture partner Santos, writes Russell Searancke.
Santos clarified that the Barossa-3 well hit a gross gas-bearing interval of 152 metres “and provides significant upside to the resource position for the Barossa gas field”.
Wireline logging at Barossa-3 had confirmed 104 metres of net pay over the Jurassic-aged Elang sands.
Barossa-3 flow tested gas at a rate of 27 million cubic feet per day. Flow rates were constrained by the downhole tubing size.
A condensate-to-gas ratio in the range of 4 barrels to 5 barrels per thousand cubic feet was measured, with the gas including a carbon dioxide content of 18% to 19%.
Barossa-3 is the second of three planned appraisals; the final well Barossa-4 is under way using the semi-submersible Nanhai VI.
The Barossa-2 appraisal well, drilled last year, hit 92 metres of net gas pay of comparable reservoir quality to the Barossa-1 discovery well 10 kilometres away on a common gas gradient.
The Barossa appraisal drilling campaign is being funded by joint venture partner SK Energy E&S, up to a cap of US$260 million cap. The Caldita-Barossa joint venture partners are operator ConocoPhillips on 37.5%, SK Energy with 37.5% and Santos on 25%.
