Elixir Energy公司报告了其位于博文盆地陆上塔鲁姆海槽ATP2056区块的Lorelle-3评价钻井作业的进展情况。该公司表示，已完成Lorelle-3中间段的钻探，钻至转盘下测量深度（MDRT）2320米，并已安装套管，储层段的进一步钻探工作正在进行中。

在完成顶部井段和中间井段的钻井、套管和固井后，作业人员正在中间井段下入并固井9-5/8英寸套管。完成后，钻机将转入储层段钻井，并使用随钻测井（LWD）工具到达并确定主要目标层——蒂诺翁砂岩的邓克组，之后进行取芯和后续的先导井段作业。

Lorelle-3井的钻探分为两个阶段，首先钻探一口垂直导向孔，总垂直深度为3600米，旨在收集盆地中心天然气藏二叠纪砂岩目标层的扩展评估数据。达到目标深度后，Elixir公司计划钻探一条至少1000米的水平侧钻井，进入主要储层目标层，以便在2026年6月之前进行多级压裂增产和生产测试。

Elixir Energy reported operational progress at its Lorelle-3 appraisal drilling campaign in ATP2056 within the Taroom Trough onshore Bowen Basin. The company said it has drilled the intermediate section of Lorelle-3 to 2,320 m measured depth below rotary table (MDRT) and installed casing, with further drilling of the reservoir section underway.

After drilling, casing and cementing the top hole and intermediate sections, crews are running and cementing 9-5/8” casing in the intermediate hole. Once this is finished, the rig will move into drilling the reservoir section with logging-while-drilling (LWD) tools to reach and identify the primary target, the Dunk member of the Tinowon Sandstone, before coring and subsequent pilot section operations.

Lorelle-3 is being drilled in two phases, beginning with a vertical pilot hole planned to 3,600 m total vertical depth to collect expanded evaluation data across Permian sandstone targets in the basin-centered gas play. Upon reaching target depth, Elixir plans to run a ≥1,000 m horizontal sidetrack into the primary reservoir target for multi-stage fracture stimulation and production testing ahead of June 2026.
