Transocean rig to drill Nestor after Annie-2 completion offshore Australia
Amplitude Energy has completed the Annie-2 gas well in the Otway Basin, with results indicating better reservoir quality and deliverability than the 2019 discovery well.
Amplitude Energy reported Nov. 11 that operations at Annie-2 are scheduled to be completed this week, with the Transocean Equinox rig then moving to the Nestor exploration prospect to drill the final well in the East Coast Supply Project drilling campaign.
The Transocean Equinox semisubmersible rig has cased and completed the Annie-2 gas well in the Otway Basin offshore Victoria with a subsea tree, according to operator Amplitude Energy.
The well reached a total depth of 2,253 m MD on Oct. 28, and underwent cleanup earlier this week.
Data from the well has confirmed a good-quality reservoir, and better permeability, porosity and deliverability compared to the initial discovery well made in 2019.
