ADELAIDE, Australia  Beach Energy has connected the Thylacine North 1 and 2 development wells in the Otway Basin offshore Victoria to the onshore Otway Gas Plant, boosting supplies to Australia’s East Coast gas market.

Four of the six wells drilled in last year’s campaign are now connected and have increased well deliverability to the plant.

CEO Morné Engelbrecht said, “The seven-well program was the largest in the Otway Basin’s history and delivered one new gas discovery and six development wells.”

The company is working on a solution for connecting the final two wells, as this will require either the repair or replacement of a flowline.

Activities will run over several phases starting with seabed assessments, drilling E&P wells in the Geographe and Thylacine (pictured) gas fields, and installing seabed infrastructure to tie-in wells to the existing platform and pipeline.
