Enjoyed your weekend? I did.

Time to get back onto the trail. Did I mention I’m driving a Hummer? Yeah, the H1. Driving 8 kilometers North from Dunmarra roadhouse on the Stuart Hwy, we turn east onto a bush trail. The point of destination is the Shenandoah 1 well site, about 18 kilometers away. Thankfully the trail is dry this time of the year.

I think everyone aware about the history of this site. Since this is a virtual tour, I can’t tell you what’s going on the site at this moment. However, with the help of Google Earth (image 2003) and with the help of a topographical map, I can show you the location of the Balmain 1 drilling site. About 500 feet from the Balmain 1 you would find the Shenandoah 1 well.

“In August 2007, PetroHunter commenced drilling the Shenandoah No. 1, a 500-foot offset to the Balmain well drilled by Pacific in 1992. The Shenandoah No. 1 was cased to a depth of 5,100 feet through the Mid-Kyalla Sandstone. Numerous oil and gas shows were encountered in the well, particularly oil shows in the Hayfield Sandstone and the Upper Kyalla Shale. After Falcon Oil & Gas acquired its 75 percent interest in the properties in 2008, and encouraged by the results of the Shenandoah No. 1, Falcon and PetroHunter deepened the well to 8,900 feet in 2009.”
