Senex Energy (ASX: SXY) and Santos (ASX: STO) have drilled a successful appraisal of the Cuisinier oil field in the Queensland Cooper Basin and have cased and suspended the well as a future oil producer.
Wireline logs confirmed the Cuisinier-5 well intersected a 12.8 metre gross oil column in the Murta Formation from a depth of 1632 metres with an interpreted net oil pay of 2 metres.
Cuisinier-5 is the second of four wells the joint venture is drilling on ATP 7525P Barta Block in the current campaign.
It will be followed by another appraisal well this weekend and an exploration well.
The earlier Cuisinier-4 well was also cased and suspended as a future oil producer.
Senex has a 15% stake in the Santos operated Barta Block.
