Areas W07-12 to W07-15
Canning Basin
Location
Areas W07-12 to W07-15 cover an area of approximately 29,000 km2 offshore from the Canning Basin, north of Broome, Western Australia (Figure 1). The release areas overlie the offshore extension of the Canning Basin’s Fitzroy Trough and flanking shelves (Jurgurra Terrace, Broome Platform, Pender Terrace and Leveque Platform: Figure 2), which hosts several onshore oil and gas discoveries, and occurs immediately to the south of the highly prospective Browse Basin. Water depths are less than 100 m over the inboard release areas (W07-12 and W07-15), and less than 200 m over most of the outboard release areas (W07-13 and W07-14).
Area W07-12 comprises 108 graticular blocks covering approximately 7655 km2 and contains three wells (Kambara 1, Minjin 1 and Perindi 1). Area W07-13 comprises 88 graticular blocks covering approximately 7210 km2 and contains the wells (Lacepede 1 and 1A). Area W07-14 comprises 90 graticular blocks covering approximately 7345 km2. Area W07-15 comprises 91 blocks covering approximately 6870 km2 and contains two wells (Pearl 1 and Wamac 1).
The inboard release areas are adjacent to three Western Australia State
Waters areas currently being released (Figure
1). State release areas T07-1, T07-2 and T07-3 are scheduled for gazettal
on 17 April 2007, with bids closing on 11 October 2007.
