Wardie-1 spuds off Australia
Offshore staff
MELBOURNE, Australia -- The Wardie-1 exploration well in the Gippsland basin spudded on May 10, says operator and owner 3D Oil Ltd. Over the course of the next week the anticipated operations will be to run and cement 30-in. (76-cm) conductor and drill 17.5-in. (44.5-cm) hole prior to setting 13 3/8-in. (34-cm) casing.
The surface location of the well is immediately adjacent to the recently completed and suspended West Seahorse-3 well and therefore did not require the West Triton rig to move. The well will be directionally drilled, as was West Seahorse-3, to the Latrobe Group targets. The crest at this level is approximately 1 km (0.6 mi) to the southwest from West Seahorse-3.
