Start of the campaign for the stimulation of SS-2H ST1 and SS-3H ulaganjem.com
Highlight
- Tamboran commenced stimulation activities of the Shenandoah South 2H Sidetrack (SS-2H ST1) and 3H (SS-3H) wells in the Beetaloo Basin EP 98 exploration permit.
- The company plans to pump up to 119 stimulation stages in two wells with reduced stage spacing. The SS-2H ST1 well is planned to include 43 stages over a 5,427-foot (1,654-meter) horizontal section, and the SS-3H well is planned to include 76 stages in a 9,766-foot (2,977-meter) horizontal section.
- The campaign is being conducted with Liberty Energy’s (NYSE: LBRT) state-of-the-art stimulation rig, which is the first 80,000 hydraulic horsepower (HHP) fracking rig deployed in the US’s Beetaloo Basin.
- The increased horsepower from the Freedom rig is expected to result in a >25% increase in proppat intensity of 2,800 pounds per foot, compared to the Shenandoah South 1H well. All stages are pumped with a smooth water fluid design.
New York-(Business Wire)-Tamboran Resources Corporation Managing Director and CEO Joel Riddle said:
We are excited to begin the stimulation program for SS-2H ST1 and SS-3H in the Beetaloo Basin with Liberty Energy’s state-of-the-art stimulation equipment. The increased horsepower of this rig is expected to achieve a step up in stimulation efficiency and proppat intensity over previous wells completed in the basin.
This stimulation campaign is the largest to date in the Beetaloo Basin, with up to 119 stages over a full lateral length of 15,193 feet (~ 4,631 meters) in two wells, averaging ~ 127 feet per stage stimulated.
Importantly, these wells are planned to be among the first to provide reliable power to the Northern Territory, with production feeding into the proposed 40 MMCF/D Shenandoah South Pilot Project.
Over the past two years, we have successfully undertaken wet season stimulation programs in the basin, with campaigns in the Amungee 2H (2022/23) and Shenandoah South 1H (2023/24). This experience gives us confidence in our ability to safely and efficiently conduct these operations throughout the year.
