Our NT teams’ 12 months of planning an preparation was rewarded today when our client Empire Energy announced a significant Velkerri Shale discovery in their Northern Territory acreage. We will complete the well construction phase once the formation evaluation program is executed and we look forward to working together with Empire on the stimulation and flow testing program in the new year. Carpentaria-1 is the first well for inGauge Energy in the NT, and with it we’ve proven we can design and construct high integrity and economical wells safely for our clients in this harsh and remote environment.

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.
