? Mud Gas Composition Data Mud-gas composition indicates that the well has
encountered gas shows with relatively high C2 and C3 components, suggesting
that the Amungee B shale is within the wet gas maturity window and contains
good LPG yields and high heating gas value.
Fundamental to the value proposition is the depth to shale, with the key being the optimum depth window that balances reservoir deliverability and costs. The deeper the target the greater the development costs, however a greater depth usually means greater well deliverability and resource density. As a result of the extensive work programme and the five wells drilled to date, Falcon has amassed a large suite of technical information, providing the Company with all the data and the optionality needed to establish the optimal location from which to prove the commercialisation of the Beetaloo.
Further analysis of the core acquired during the drilling of the Velkerri-76 well will now be analysed to confirm the preliminary interpretation, with the results due over the coming months.
? An Acceleration of Activity c.70km to the east of the Velkerri 76 well, Empire Energy has spudded the Carpentaria-2H well, targeting the same Amungee B member shale unit. The vertical section of the well is being drilled to a depth of c1,800m (vs 2,129m at the Velkerri 76 well), before a 1,000m lateral is targeted within the most prospective shale target. The entire drilling program is expected to take c.45 days from spud to drill rig release. The well will then be re-entered, stimulated and flow-tested in Q2/22, following the wet season. Success at the Carpentaria-2H well will have direct implications for Falcon, given the regional continuity and uniformity of the Velkerri formation across the Beetaloo Sub-basin.
? Near Term Catalyst c.100km to the east of Falcon/Origin Amungee NW-1H discovery, Santos and Tamboran Resources have completed the drilling of the Tanumbirini-3H horizontal well to a depth of 4,857m, with the horizonal section intersecting over 1,000m of Mid-Velkerri B shale. Consistent with the Tanumbirini-2H well, the Tanumbirini-3H well encountered significant gas shows. Both the T2H and T3H wells will now be re-entered, fracture stimulated, and flow tested with initial results expected by the end of 2021.
