BHP Petroleum has spudded the Tallaganda-1 exploration well in WA-351-P in the Carnarvon Basin offshore Western Australia. The well lies at a water depth of 3,744ft (1,141m) and is being drilled by the semisubmersible rig Atwood Eagle to test the gas potential of sandstones in the Triassic aged Mungaroo formation.
