Horizo​​n Oil Limited（Horizo​​n）欣然宣布，Mereenie 开发计划中的第一口井 WM29 已钻探并穿过较浅的 Stairway 和 Pacoota-1 地层，套管靴设置在 1,213.4 米 TVDRT。空气钻井继续通过主要 Pacoota-3 储层目标至 1,326.3 米 TVDRT，并成功完成该井。WM29 连接预计将于 1 月底完成。Mereenie

开发计划中的第二口开发井 WM30 于 1 月 16 日 08:00 北领地时间（ACST）开钻。该井位于 WM29 西侧沿走向的顶部位置，旨在进一步提高 Mereenie 油田的天然气产量。该井的钻探计划采用了从 WM29 获得的经验。与 WM29 开发井一起，WM30 预计将提高 Mereenie 的天然气产量，使合资企业能够根据最近签署的北领地政府天然气销售协议供应更多的天然气。

Horizon Oil Limited (Horizon) is pleased to advise that WM29, the first well in the Mereenie Development program, was drilled and cased across the shallower Stairway and Pacoota-1 Formations, with the casing shoe set at 1,213.4 metres TVDRT. Air-drilling continued to 1,326.3 metres TVDRT through the primary Pacoota-3 reservoir target, and the well was successfully completed. The WM29 tie-in is expected to be completed toward the end of January.

WM30, the second development well in the Mereenie Development Programme, was spudded on 16 January at 08:00 Northern Territory time (ACST). This well is being drilled at a crestal location along strike to the west of WM29 and is designed to further increase Mereenie Field gas production. The drilling program for this well incorporates insights gained from WM29. Together with the WM29 development well, WM30 is expected to boost Mereenie gas rates, enabling the Joint Venture to supply additional gas volumes into the recently executed Northern Territory Government Gas Sales Agreement.
