Norwest Energy Prepares for Well Test at Arrowsmith-2 Well in Perth Basin

“Completing test work will represent an important step in our pathway to commercialization, as it will allow us to conclude the evaluation program at Arrowsmith-2, which will add crucial data in the planning for Arrowsmith-3,” Munachen said.

“Arrowsmith-2 was intended to act as a proof of concept well and we have been very encouraged by the results thus far.

“Determining the location for Arrowsmith-3 horizontal well – a critical step in the pathway to commercialization of the Arrowsmith Field – will require careful planning over the coming year.

“This planning will draw on two data sets – the final evaluation at Arrowsmith-2 and data from a 3D seismic program that we are progressing toward conducting in the second half of 2014.”
