Brisbane, Australia, Nov 6, 2009 - (ABN Newswire) - WestSide Corporation Limited (ASX:WCL) continues a multi well program in ATP 688P in the northern Bowen Basin to confirm coal in the P seam and Goonyella seams of the Moranbah Coal Measures in preparation for the drilling of two sets of horizontal chevron-style dual-lateral wells (Tilbrook #L9a and #L9b, Tilbrook #L10a and #L10b) which are planned to intersect with new vertical wells (Tilbrook #9 and #10).
Based on the results of the Tilbrook #9a well it is now planned to drill Tilbrook T9 prior to T10a and T10b to assist in the design of the Tilbrook #L9 lateral set. Tilbrook #9 is planned as a vertical production well.
Latest activity - Tilbrook #9a
The Tilbrook #9a vertical exploration well has been drilled to a depth of 506m, logged, subjected to two drill stem tests and cased. The well shows more than 9 metres of net coal.
