Galilee Energy has announced that the Silver City Rig 23 has commenced drilling the second well in the current 5 well programme at the Glenaras gas project in the Galilee Basin in Queensland. This is the second well of the 2022 programme which consists of drilling, completing, connecting, and powering an additional 5 vertical wells.

The Queensland government is considering approving a 585-kilometre gas pipeline that could significantly affect some of the state s most vulnerable animals.
Key points:
The pipeline would run from Aramac to Injune
Jemena has applied for a petroleum survey licence, which would allow it entry to 374 properties along the proposed route
An environmental assessment found the pipeline would significantly impact the vulnerable koala
Farmers are alarmed at the prospect of a new pipeline they say could lead to further development of gas fields across central Queensland s Galilee Basin.
The planned project spans more than 500 kilometres to connect Galilee Energy Limited s Glenaras Gas Project near Longreach to Jemena s Queensland Gas Pipeline near Injune.
Galilee Basin grazier Bruce Currie is worried about the industrialisation of his region and says the pipeline could impact the lives of 300 families.

Australia: Galilee Energy announces update on Glenaras gas project
13 Dec 2020
All six new vertical wells have been successfully completed with downhole pumps. Glenaras 21 and 22 have been commissioned last week and are now on continuous production.
Glenaras 19, 20 and 23 are on continuous production and performing strongly.
Excellent water rates in excess of 7,650 BWPD (barrels of water per day) in aggregate from the five new vertical wells brought online.
Direct communication already observed between these new vertical wells and the existing lateral wells.
All five lateral wells still on full production, with water rates declining on these wells and gas rates steady.
Total Pilot water production of 13,200 BWPD.
