The PEL 513 joint venture (Drillsearch Energy Ltd. 40%, Santos 60% and Operator) made its second wet gas discovery in the license in Cooper Basin, Australia, according to a press release.

The Yarowinnie South-1 well was drilled to a total depth of 3,142 m (10,308 ft) as an exploration well, southwest of the Varanus South-1 discovery announced last month. Drillsearch’s preliminary interpretation of wireline logs has confirmed an aggregate best estimate of almost 15 m (49 ft) of net gas pay over several intervals in the Patchawarra Formation totaling a gross Patchawarra interval of 410 m (1,345 ft). The well has been cased and suspended as a future producer.
