Norwest awaits approval to conduct hydraulic fracture
stimulation operations on its Arrowsmith-2 well in EP413
Norwest Energy NL (ASX:NWE) advises that it has applied to the
Department of Mines and Petroleum of Western Australia (DMP) for
approval to carry out hydraulic fracture stimulation operations at the
Arrowsmith-2 well in the EP413 permit in the Northern Perth Basin.
It has been incorrectly reported in the media that Norwest Energy has
received all necessary approvals to proceed with the reported hydraulic
fracture stimulation program. Norwest has not yet received the required
approvals to proceed with this program.
Norwest has provided all of the necessary data to the DMP to support
this application, and is currently awaiting formal approval. Norwest will
not proceed until all approvals are in place. The DMP has stringent
requirements to conduct any drilling or other activities such as fraccing,
and details of these guidelines are available on the DMP website. To
view, copy the following details into your web browser:
dmp.wa.gov.au/12872.aspx.
In the meantime, Norwest is continuing to work towards a start date of
1st September, as planned, with all services, equipment and consumables
in place to facilitate the program commencement, immediately upon
receipt of the final approval by the DMP.
