Camden Gas Project update
Posted: 28 November 2006
Sydney Gas Ltd reported that during 17-24 November 2006, the Camden Joint Venture has successfully fracture stimulated four directional wells (LB11, GL16, GL12 and GL13) within the Camden Gas Project to fast track production from better performing areas while taking advantage of the use of existing well sites to mitigate land access constraints.
The above wells were drilled from the existing well sites at LB09, GL07, GL02 and GL11 respectively. LB11, GL16, GL12 and GL13 intersected the Bulli seam at true vertical depths of approximately 650m, 760m, 750m and 735m respectively.
This stimulation program was conducted by BJ Services.
LB11 was fracture stimulated in the Upper Permian Bulli seam only whereas the other three wells were fracture stimulated in both the Bulli and Balgownie seams in one treatment with diverting techniques to ensure both zones were accepting fluid.
The dewatering period of the above wells is expected to be between 3-6 weeks, following which these wells will be put on a production flow test program before being tied into the gas gathering system to produce gas to the Rosalind Park Gas Plant (RPGP).
Based on the average production of the nearby wells, the gas flow rate of these wells is expected to be between 350 -500 Mscf per day.
Anticipating a significant growth in gas production during this financial year from the drilling of planned vertical, deviated, and in-seam wells; a second compressor with a capacity of 6.5 Tera Joule (TJ) per day is being installed at RPGP to increase the current compressor capacity of 13 TJ/day to 19.5 TJ/day.
This second compressor is expected to be commissioned in December 2006. A third compressor with a 6.5 TJ/day capacity is also expected to be commissioned in February 2007. RPGP is designed to accommodate a total of 4 or 5 gas compressors with a combined gas production facility of 40 TJ/day.
AGL Energy Ltd is the operator of the Camden Gas Project in a 50-50 joint venture with Sydney Gas Ltd.
