Woodside hits again off Western Australia

摘要

Sydney-Woodside Petroleum has made a gas discovery in a new area of the prolific Carnarvon Basin off northwestern Australia, where it has been looking for resources to underpin the expansion of its Pluto LNG project. The Alaric-1 exploration well in Woodside’s wholly owned WA-434-P permit intersected about 185 meters of gross gas over several zones, the company said in a statement August 16. The well is currently being deepened to ensure the full gas column is penetrated.
