Icon Energy investigates results from Surat Basin coal seam gas well, moves to spud next well

Icon Energy’s (ASX: ICN) first coal seam gas well in the Surat Basin, Queensland, has intersected a thicker than expected coal seam though the apparent low permeability requires further analysis.

Windom-1 intersected 11.8 metres of net coal in the Walloon Coal Measures though four drill stems indicated that the well was of low permeability.

Icon said the well will now be plugged and drilled and the Ensign Rig 960 moved to drill Eolus-1, the second of 2 wells it is drilling part of the second stage work program of Stanwell Corporation’s farm-in to exploration permit ATP 626P.
