In early 2022, InGauge Energy commenced site works and subsequent drilling and seismic operations in the Telford Basin, as part of the data gathering for the future gas field development project in Leigh Creek. Earthmoving and civils equipment was mobilised in early March in preparation geotechnical drilling, seismic operations and the main investigation drilling campaign. Civils works commenced in March with construction including the main drilling pads and associated infrastructure to host the Silver City Drilling rig, Silver City Rig 4. A shallow Geotechnical investigation program commenced in March, with the 2 short campaigns concluding in April. The Drill Rig for the well campaign was mobilised in late April 2022 with drilling activities commencing in early May. This main drilling campaign targeted all 3 seams for evaluation and data gathering with all holes being completed for ongoing groundwater monitoring. Drilling activities concluded in July and was followed by a 3D seismic campaign that concluded in mid-August 2022.
inGauge looks forward to continue our next project with NeuRizer in 2022.
Well Integrity Gets Targeted
inGauge Energy has started a project with a major Australian gas producer to review and update their well integrity management system. The aim of the project is to be much more pre-emptive and targeted in response to well integrity issues to ensure money is spent resolving issues rather than simply re-confirming known problems.
Gas Flaring at Carpentaria 1
Empire today updated the market with images of the flare at Carpentaria 1. This is a particularly exciting time for Empire as years of work starts to show itself in gas to surface. Tom (inGauge Completion Engineer) is getting to be an expert with the inGuage drone, taking some fantastic images of the flare shining forth on site, as the sun sets over the vast expanse of the Empire acreage. Tom was quoted as saying that using the drone was the only way of keeping Kelvin out of the photos.
Empire Energy Commences Fracture Stimulation Program at Carpentaria-1
inGauge is proud to confirm commencement of Empire Energy’s fracture stimulation program at its Carpentaria-1 site in the Beetaloo Basin. The fracture stimulation program will test four productive target zones. Stimulation and subsequent flow test operations will be undertaken over the coming month.
