Comet Ridge : 22 Oct 2019 Galilee Basin Drilling Update

22 October 2019

Galilee Basin Drilling Update - Albany 1-ST Well

• Total Depth for Albany 1 sidetrack reached
• Strong gas shows from all four thick sandstone packages
• Preparing to run logs

Comet Ridge Limited (ASX:COI) is pleased to provide an update on the drilling operations at the Albany 1 sidetrack (ST) well in the Galilee Basin. The well is being drilled as part of the Galilee Deeps Joint Venture (GDJV) 2019 drilling programme with Vintage Energy Limited (ASX:VEN).

Drilling operations are now complete with a Total Depth ("TD") of 2822m being reached. Strong gas shows have been measured right through all four sandstone packages. Figure 1 is a schematic of the position of the Albany 1 sidetrack well relative to other wells in the field.

Tor McCaul, Managing Director, said he was very pleased by the level of gas shows that have been recorded from the well, across such a thick reservoir section. In 2018, the GDJV was able to achieve a 230,000 scf/d stabilised flow (over 24 hours) from an upper 13m of the target reservoir1. With the entire reservoir section now being penetrated, and all sandstone packages now available to stimulate, Mr McCaul said he was looking forward to see what gas rates can be achieved from this well.
