据钻井网8月27日报道称，澳大利亚拜伦能源有限公司(Byron Energy Ltd.) 8月27日宣布，已开始钻探Bivouac Peak East的第一口油井和WA #1油井。
WA #1号将被钻到目标深度18000英尺的垂直深度(TVD)，预计需要75天才能达到总深度。第一艘是测试井，目标是3220万桶油当量。
如果WA #1井成功，第一批生产的完井和开发成本估计在900万到1100万美元之间。如果油井生产良好，预计在首次试井钻井后8到10个月内开始生产。

Byron Energy Starts Drilling Well in US Gulf
Australian company Byron Energy Ltd. has begun drilling of the Bivouac Peak East’s first well, the Weiss-Adler et al No. 1 (WA #1), involved companies announced Aug. 27.
The WA #1 will be drilled to a target depth of 18,000 feet True Vertical Depth (TVD) and is expected to take 75 days to reach total depth. WA#1 is a test well and is targeting a 32.2 million barrels of oil equivalent.
If the WA #1 well is successful, completion and development costs to first production are estimated to be between $9-$11 million. If the well is productive, it’s estimated that production will begin within eight to 10 months following drilling of the initial test well.
