The Company has successfully re-entered and deepened the ITW-1 well a further 168m into the fractured Basement and has reached a new TD of 1129m MD. The existing hole conditions were very good and enabled the wellbore re-entry beneath the 9⅝" shoe, and subsequent deepening into the Basement, to occur efficiently.
Whilst deepening the well, near-continuous helium and hydrogen shows were encountered whilst drilling. The frequency of these shows continued to TD and were notably higher than those which were encountered whilst drilling the overburden section during Phase II.
