As of today the Jingemia-1 well was producing at 1700 barrels of oil per day and production testing has been approved through to 1 February 2004.

During the first month an interference test will be conducted between Jingemia 1 and 3 with the injection of water into Jingemia 3 expected to follow to provide pressure support to the reservoir.

The aim of the extended production test is to acquire additional information on reservoir performance and pressure maintenance to enable the formulation of a field development plan and confirm the facilities required for permanent field development.

During the period of the test the oil produced will be trucked to the BP oil refinery south of Perth for sale.

Participants in EP 413 and Jingemia 1 are Origin Energy Developments 49.189%, Hardman Oil and Gas 22.376%, AWE (Perth Basin) 15.245%, Voyager Energy 6.270%, Victoria Petroleum 5%, Norwest Energy 1.278%, ARC Energy 0.250%, Roc Oil 0.250% and John Kevin Geary 0.142%.
