According to the company it has hit approximately 150 metres gross gas and 65 metres net gas within the Mungaroo formation target.
It had drilled down to a depth of 3724 metres
“Following drilling, wireline logging has been conducted and confirmed the presence of a gas column through pressure measurements and gas sampling,” Woodside said.
“The well will now be plugged and abandoned.”
The find is approximately 22 kilometres away from Woodside’s existing Ragnar-1A discovery, and sites within its WA-430-P permit in the Exmouth Sub-Basin.
Woodside executive vice president for global exploration, Phil Loader, said “this successful exploration outcomes builds Woodside’s gas volumes within the Exmouth Sub-Basin creating options for maximising the value of our Australian assets”.
