The well encountered good oil shows in mud logs over the interval 1230 to 1248 meters in the Birkhead Formation. Mulberry-6 is the 1st well of 51 wells to be drilled. This is the largest program of continuous oil drilling ever undertaken in the southwest Queensland Australia section of the Cooper/Eromanga Basin and it has begun on ACOR's ORRI ORRI - Orthorectified Radar Image ORRI - Overriding Royalty Interest on ATP 299. The whole $50,000,000 drilling program consists of 45 Mulberry wells based on the Talgeberry/Endeavour 3D seismic data, 3-4 near field exploration wells planned for the Aros trend (Aros-2, Talgeberry North-1, Takya North-1 and Winna South-1) and 1-2 near field exploration wells at Mugginanullah where the operator currently has a 314km2 3D survey underway. Mulberry-2 -3 & -5 were all brought on stream in July last year as Jurassic oil producers, with the three wells containing a total cumulative oil column of 22.4m. The Mulberry Field is part of the Tintaburra Block on ACOR's ORRI under ATP-299. The Tintaburra Block is estimated to contain about 84 million barrels of proved plus probable oil in place. The 2006 program is planned to develop the Mulberry Field, commence increased oil recovery from other producing fields and potentially recover an additional 20 million barrels of oil from the Block.
