Beetaloo Basin - Amungee Discovery Well1

energy
Amungee NW-1H, the first fracked horizontal well in the Beetaloo Basin, flowed at similar rates to the US wells that
commercialised shale in 1998... Flow rates are almost certain to improve as completion designs are optimised
Key Highlights
•
Drilled in Dec 15 - TD 3,808m, incl. 1,100m horizontal section in the B Shale of the Middle
Velkerri formation

Amungee NW-1H flow rate in relation to 1998 US shale wells²
The S.H. Griffin #4 produced 1.3million cubic feet of natural gas per day for the first 90 days, an
unbelievable amount for the time. Steinsberger, in an interview with The Atlantic, said,
"This was the 'aha moment' for us, it was our best well ever in the Barnett, and it was a slick water
frack. And it was my baby!"
This was a revolutionary moment, marking the beginning of modern-day fracking in shale as we
know it. Since the S.H. Griffin, more than a hundred thousand wells have been fracked in the
United States, and most of them use a technique similar to what was first done in the Barnett
Shale. Steinsberger had finally figured out how to get shale rock formations to give up their natural
i gas and do so in an economical way.
