Aussie Winchester hits target

摘要

Santos has encountered gas with the Winchester- 1 exploration well in the Dampier sub-basin offshore Western Australia but drilling has been held up after experiencing problems. Winchester-1 lies in WA-323-P and penetrated the target Triassic interval higher than predicted, encountering a number of sandstone reservoirs with gas shows. The significance of those shows was being assessed, said partner Octanex.
