17. | Prospect Description: | The first reservoir target of the Cyrene 1 well is the Goldwyer unit, an argillaceous unit of some 135m thickness. This is regarded as an 'unconventional' reservoir with potential to establish prospectivity over a very large area of the Broome Platform and beyond. The qualities of the Goldwyer which support this concept, apart from thickness and broad distribution, include organic contents frequently averaging 1.5-2% but ranging up to 4% or more, and a high calcareous content which implies favourable fracture characteristics. The second reservoir target of the well, the 'cavernous' limestones of the Willara Formation, was confirmed by the substantial lost circulation zones encountered in Hedonia 1. | |
