Description

Quadrant Energy Pty Ltd. announced results from the offshore Western Australia venture, #2-Phoenix South, in the WA-435-P permit area on the North West Shelf. The well hit an estimated 39 m hydrocarbon-bearing zone between 5,176 m and 5,215 m. A gas significant gas influx was reported with elevated reservoir pore pressures. Due to high pressure from the Caley reservoir below 5,215 m, the company was unable to assess as much as 185 m of additional potential. Additional testing is planned. Perth-based Quadrant is the operator and holds an 80% interest along with partner Carnarvon Petroleum holding 20%.
