Falcon Oil & Gas 与其合资伙伴 Tamboran B2 共同更新了位于澳大利亚北领地 Beetaloo 次盆地 98 号勘探许可证的运营情况。

2024 年 8 月 30 日，Falcon 宣布了 2024 年钻井计划，使用 Helmerich & Payne FlexRig 在 EP98 开钻 Shenandoah South 2H (SS2H) 水平井。SS2H 井位于 EP117 中之前进行过流量测试的 SSS1H 井以北约 2.7 米处。

SS2H 井在 35 天内成功钻至总深度 20,669 英尺，如预测的那样与 Amungee B 页岩相交。其中包括一个 9,843 英尺的水平段，该水平段成功地在页岩内进行了地质导向，无需先导孔。SS2H 井的数据显示，地质岩石特性与 SS1H 位置一致，整个水平段都有强烈的气体显示，没有观察到断层。在准备下入生产​​套管时，井下机械问题无法修复，导致 SS2H 井被堵塞并侧钻。

SS2H ST1 侧钻井目前深度为 16,201 英尺，希望该井的钻探能在未来几天内完成。

在钻完 SS2H ST1 侧钻井之后，Helmerich & Payne 钻机将在同一平台上滑行，为钻 SS3H 井做准备，该井计划以 10,000 英尺的水平段完成。

Liberty Energy 的压裂车队已成功调动到 Beetaloo 盆地，为 SS2H ST1 和 SS3H 井进行 120 级增产作业（各 60 级）。该计划将是 Beetaloo 盆地迄今为止规模最大的增产作业，预计每天的完井数量将比盆地历史上的完井数量有所增加。这有望提高完井效率，从而降低完井成本。

Falcon Australia 将以其 5% 的选定参与权益参与 Shenandoah South 试点项目的两口油井的开采。

Falcon Oil & Gas provided an update on operations in exploration permit 98 in the Beetaloo Sub-basin, Northern Territory, Australia with its joint venture partner, Tamboran B2.

On 30 August 2024 Falcon announced the 2024 drilling program with the spudding of the Shenandoah South 2H (SS2H) horizontal well in EP98 with the Helmerich & Payne FlexRig. The SS2H well is located approximately 2.7 m north of the previously flow tested SSS1H well in EP117.

The SS2H well was successfully drilled to a total depth of 20,669 ft in 35 days, intersecting the Amungee B Shale as prognosed. This included a 9,843-ft horizontal section that was successfully geo-steered within the shale without the need for a pilot hole. Data from the SS2H well has demonstrated geological rock properties consistent with the SS1H location, with strong gas shows across the entire horizontal section and no observed faulting. When preparing to run production casing a downhole mechanical issue was unable to be remediated, which resulted in the SS2H well being plugged and sidetracked.

The SS2H ST1 sidetrack well is currently at a depth of 16,201 ft, and it is hoped that the drilling of the well will be completed in the coming days.

Following the drilling of the SS2H ST1 sidetrack well, the Helmerich & Payne rig will skid across the same pad in preparation for the drilling of the SS3H well, which is planned to be completed with a 10,000-ft horizontal section.

Liberty Energy’s frac fleet was successfully mobilized to the Beetaloo Basin ahead of the 120-stage stimulation campaign (60 stages each) for the SS2H ST1 and SS3H wells. The program will be the largest stimulation campaign in the Beetaloo Basin to date and is projected to deliver an increase to the number of completions per day compared to historic completions in the basin. This is expected to deliver increased completions efficiency, which drives completion cost reduction.

Falcon Australia will participate in both wells in the Shenandoah South Pilot Project at its elected participating interest of 5%.
