Santos’ (ASX:STO) Apus-1 exploration well near the Dorado oilfield offshore Western Australia has failed to find commercial hydrocarbons, reported partner
JV partner Carnarvon Energy has provided an update on the Santos-operated Apus-1 well in the WA-437-P exploration permit, around 27 kms southwest of the successful Pavo-1 well. Excellent quality reservoirs were encountered and, while hydrocarbons were observed in the well, a commercial hydrocarbon pool has not been discovered.
