Brisbane, Australia - Central Petroleum Ltd. (ASX:CTP) (FRA:C9J) (OTCMKTS:CNPTF) advises that the first of two Mereenie development wells, WM29, was successfully air-drilled and completed across the Pacoota-3 sandstones. The well is currently suspended and is expected to be tied-in to the gathering system by late January. This is earlier in the quarter than previously anticipated due to the schedule being proactively accelerated in response to gas shortages in the Northern Territory.
WM30, the second development well in the 2 well programme, was subsequently spudded on 16 January 2025 at 0800 hrs CST.
The Mereenie development wells are expected to return field production capacity back above 30 TJ/d (100% JV) and produce at least 25 PJ of gas (100% JV) over their lifetime. Firm gas from the new wells may be sold into the recently executed NTG GSA which can be expanded by up to 6 TJ/d (100% JV) to generate further cash flow following successful completion of the wells.
Further updates will be provided once initial flow rates are known and as the programme progresses.
