"Tap Oil reports 6m gross oil column at Harriet-A11 By RWE Australian Business News, 02 May 2005 Sydney - Monday - May 2: (RWE Australian Business News) - Tap Oil Ltd (TAP) reports its 12.2pc-owned Harriet-A11 development well (in Harriet Joint Venture permit TL/1) has reached the planned total depth of 2582 metres. A 6-metre gross oil column was intersected at the top of the objective Flag sandstone reservoir.
Tap commented that the Harriet-A11 oil development well was planned to intersect a small attic of oil on the southeastern edge of the Harriet oilfield not drained by the existing production wells.
"The well confirms the presence of a small accumulation of incremental oil in this part of the field and will now be completed as an oil producer tied into Varanus Island on the Harriet Alpha platform," the company said.
"The A11 well was drilled on the new seismic reprocessing within the HJV licence and provides confidence that further discoveries may be made based on these data."
