PERTH: Emperor Energy Limited has engaged respected global well management company AGR to commence planning and design of the Judith 2 Exploration Well planned for the Judith Gas Field in the Company’s 100% owned VIC/P47 Permit in the offshore Gippsland Basin, Victoria.

AGR is a leading well management, reservoir management, HSEQ, and field management service company with the necessary experience and expertise to deliver solutions for the entire Judith Gas Field life cycle.

AGR has globally completed more than 500 well projects spanning six continents. In Australia alone AGR has drilled over 40 offshore wells in all the major Basins in water depths ranging from 25m — 360m.

The scope of work to be initially completed by AGR will include:

• A Project Execution Plan outlining well operations, equipment, resources, regulatory approvals required and definition of the key dates; • Development of a regulatory timeline which will map out the various stages of preparation of the Environmental Plan required for the well; • A Drill Rig Expression of Interest to clearly identify opportunities for a rig sharing agreement to minimize mobilization costs; • Preparation of a preliminary well design that can be further developed with detailed engineering; • An analysis of well costs and well operation cost risks; • The initial scope of work will commence in July and require one month to complete

Emperor Energy’s 100% owned Judith Gas Field is located within the VIC/P47 Permit in the offshore Gippsland Basin, Victoria.
