- Production Licence L24 has been granted for the South Erregulla gas field.
- Strike has commenced the high impact SE appraisal drilling campaign and spudded the SE2 appraisal well on 22 August 2023 and has subsequently drilled to 4,259m (measured depth) within the intermediate hole section.
South Erregulla Production Licence
Strike Energy has announced that Production Licence - L24 has been granted by the Department of Mines, Industry, Regulation and Safety over the 100% owned and operated South Erregulla gas field previously located in EP503.
The planned South Erregulla development is part of Strike’s government endorsed Gas Acceleration and Development Strategy which aims to provide incremental gas supply into a tightening Western Australian gas market. The issuance of the South Erregulla Production Licence prior to the field’s final investment decision will allow Strike to control and forecast the completion and start-up for the South Erregulla Phase 1 development with a higher degree of accuracy.
With the granting of the Production Licence, Strike is now able to submit the Facility Safety Case and Environment Plan required to commence construction of the proposed Phase 1 development post investment decision.
South Erregulla Appraisal Drilling Campaign
The South Erregulla-2 (SE-2) well was spud on the 22nd of August 2023. Drilling, casing and pressure testing of the top-hole section has been completed down to ~2,100m measured depth (MD). Subsequently Strike has drilled the intermediate section down to 4,259m MD and is conducting a bit change before reaching section depth and casing and cementing with 9-5/8” casing. Strike will then run in to drill the well to total depth which will pass through the principal target in the Kingia Sandstone.
The primary objective of the SE-2 well is to prove continuity of the South Erregulla gas field to the West in order to expand the existing 128 PJ of independently certified 2P Reserves1 prior to sanctioning development.
