Recent discovery at Lockyer Deep-1 expands Perth Basin sweet spot

A recent gas discovery by Energy Resources Ltd. and Norwest Energy NL at Lockyer Deep-1 may have positive implications for multiple exploration targets within Warrego Energy Limited’s EP469 target. The Lockyer Deep-1 gas discovery has expanded the Perth Basin sweet spot by adding Lockyer Deep to Waitsia, Beharra Springs Deep and West Erregulla as significant deep onshore Permian gas fields. Warrego’s analysis of the data relating to the four gas fields indicates that gas generated from the mature north Dandaragan Trough (kitchen) has migrated through the EP469 permit area and it has likely filled stru... more
