Schedule of Activities
L1/L2 Permit Areas (Shire of Irwin Region)
| Activity | Description | Indicative Timing |
| Exploration/Appraisal | Recent appraisal activities focused on the Waitsia gas field. Flow tests of the most recently drilled appraisal wells (ie Waitsia-02, Waitsia-03 and Waitsia-04) showed outstanding flow test results. This appraisal information is being used to supplement data gained from the Waitsia Stage 1A extended production test. | No exploration or appraisal drilling is planned for FY 18/19. |
| Production – Waitsia Stage 1A | The extended production test involving two wells that are connected to the Xyris Production Facility is continuing. | Ongoing production |
| Full Field Development – Stage 2 (proposed) |
Stage 2 will involve connecting wells to a newly constructed production facility planned to be located near the existing Xyris Production Facility. Waitsia Stage 2 is in the planning and design phase. |
To be confirmed |
| Care and Maintenance |
The Hovea Production Facility is not producing and has been in Care and Maintenance since 2010. The Dongara Production Facility is being prepared for partial Care and Maintenance as the Dongara gas field ceased production in 2017. |
Ongoing |
| Perth Basin Decommissioning and Rehabilitation Project | Well site decommissioning activities are being undertaken as part of a Mid West permit areas campaign to decommission then rehabilitate sites which are no longer in use. | Two wells during Q4 2018. Two wells during Q1 2019. |
L4/L5 Permit Areas (Shire of Carnamah Region)
| Activity | Description | Indicative Timing |
| Exploration/Appraisal | Further assessment of the Woodada gas field, that ceased producing in 2010, is also occurring through desktop studies. This review was prompted by the Waitsia gas field discovery in 2014. Many other companies are also reassessing data for their permits in the northern Perth Basin since this exciting discovery was made. | No exploration or appraisal drilling is planned for FY 18/19. |
| Care and Maintenance | The Woodada Production Facility is not producing and has been in Care and Maintenance since 2010. | Ongoing |
| Perth Basin Decommissioning and Rehabilitation Project | Well site decommissioning activities are being undertaken as part of a Mid West permit areas campaign to decommission then rehabilitate sites which are no longer in use. | Two wells during Q1/Q2 2019. |
Since September 2018, the Mt Horner Oil Production Facility has been operated by the new L7 permit title holder, Key Petroleum.

Planning
Before anything can happen we need to plan carefully. Read more about the planning process.
Exploration/Appraisal
We look for gas, and when we find it we figure out if it’s worth pursuing further. Find out more about our exploration and appraisal process.
Development
Once we’ve confirmed a well is commercially viable we get ready to put it into production. Read more about the development process.
Production
During the production phase we produce gas from the well and sell it. Find out more about the production process.
Decommissioning and Rehabilitation
When the exploration or production activity has finished it’s time to clean up. Read more about how we decommission and rehabilitate a well and its surrounding area.
