16 Metre coal seams found
Maryborough Basin - Queensland
The Burrum-2 well, the second of the two coal seam gas well program in ATP 613P in the Maryborough Basin of southeast Queensland, spudded on 8 March. The wells were designed to evaluate the coal seam potential of the previously unexplored Burrum Coal Measures in the northern portion of the Burrum Syncline.
Burrum-2 was drilled to a total depth of 545 metres, of which the interval from 115 metres to 390 metres in the Burrum Coal Measures was fully cored. Several coal seams with a total net thickness of approximately 16 metres were cored and sampled for desorption analysis. Three Drill Stem Tests were conducted over coaly intervals in the core section which indicated that the coals have low primary permeability. Evaluation of the coal seams’ gas potential is continuing.
