Located in permit TL/1, Rose-4 was drilled as a directional well from the Linda production platform. The objective lies about 5.6km south-east of the platform.

“The well has successfully intersected the objective gas reservoirs within prognosis and will now be completed for production,” Tap said.

“The Rose-4 development well will increase gas delivery for the Harriet Joint Venture gas contracts, including the Burrup Fertilisers contract which requires approximately 82 TJ/day for 25 years. Following completion of Rose-4, the next well in the Flag Sandstone drilling programme will be North Alkimos-2H to be drilled from the Harriet Alpha platform.”

TL/1 Joint Venture participants are Apache Northwest Pty Ltd (operator) 68.5%, Kufpec Australia Pty Ltd 19.2771% and Tap (Harriet) Pty Ltd 12.2229%.
