Origin set to abandon Riverslea Southeast 1

Posted: 18 February 2008

Origin Energy provided a final report on the Riverslea Southeast 1 oil exploration well operated by the company and its subsidiaries.

The well commenced drilling on 10 February 2008 with the Mitchell 152 drilling rig. The 311 millimetre (12-1/4 inch) surface section was drilled to a depth of 195 metres measured depth and 244 millimetres (9-5/8 inch) surface casing has been set at 192 metres measured depth. The 216 millimetre (8-1/2 inch) production wellbore was drilled to a total depth of 1,585 metres measured depth on 16 February.

Riverslea Southeast 1 encountered weak oil shows in poorly developed reservoirs of the upper Boxvale Sandstone.

Wireline logs were acquired and the well will be plugged and abandoned.
