North west Carboniferous
• The red area
(80,000 acres)
has been selected
to begin the first
3000 wells
• The Blue area
(280,000 acres)
represents the possible
future development of
the basin with
9000 wells.
North West Carboniferous
…facts (Tamboran)
• Acres: 40.000 NI and 40.000 ROI = 80.000
in future 3x bigger: 280.000
• Pads: 60 NI and 60 ROI = 120 pads
• 1 pad: initially 7 acres, after removing
equipment 4 acres
• 24 wells
Total number of wells: 120 x 24 = 3.000
Could go up to 3 x 3.000 = 9.000
Drilling:
- 2 layers of Bundoran Shale and 1 layer of
Dowra sandstone
• 1 horizontal lateral per pad 1-2 km
• 750 – 1500 m deep if safe, drilling from 500
and deeper
