Beetaloo basin discovery

摘要

AUSTRALIAN junior Empire Energy has hit liquids-rich gas in a shale exploration well in Australia's onshore Beetaloo basin, in the Northern Territory. Empire said the Carpen-taria-1 well on EP187 had intersected the target Velkerri shale from a depth of 883 metres to 1831 metres, with mud logs indicating the well had encountered liquids-rich gas. The operator said peak background mud log readings were recorded over the Middle Velkerri C, B and A shales, with strong mud gas readings observed in the interval between the Middle Velkerri B and the Middle Velkerri A shales.
