The northern Cooper Basin province hosts the massive 100 MMbbl Tirrawarra Oil Field in the liquids-rich Patchawarra Trough. ADE acquired 93 km 2D seismic in 2008 to high-grade drilling targets in this proven hydrocarbon province.
PEL 105 spans the central Patchawarra Trough from the Permit’s western limit between the Moorari and Kudrieke fields east to the huge Santos-operated Bookabourdie Field
Re-interpretation of geophysical data has allowed ADE to identify a large hydrocarbon target between the producing Moorari and Kudrieke fields
The Pirie-1 exploration well will be drilled in 2011 on a significant closure above the abandoned 1983 Toonman-1 well
Toonman intersected tight hydrocarbon saturated sand in an era when fracture stimulation was in its infancy – ADE will fracture the tight sands to access un-risked P10 OOIP of 23 MMbbl and P50 OOIP 2 MMbbl.
The 2008 Wakefield Seismic Survey acquired 93 km 2D seismic to identify and mature a range of drilling targets including around the flanks of the Bookabourdie structure.
Proximity to pipeline infrastructure and processing facilities high-grades all discoveries in PEL 105
