Weekly Drilling Report - Ungani Far West 1
Buru Energy Limited (Buru Energy) provides the following weekly update on drilling operations at the Ungani Far West
1 well as at 06:00hrs, 10 December 2015.
Since the last progress report, the well has been drilled ahead in 8-1/2” (216mm) hole from the 9-5/8” (244mm) casing
depth of 311 metres to the current depth of 1,060 metres.
Intermittent oil shows consisting of spotty and trace fluorescence and cut have been observed in individual sandstone
beds interpreted to be in the Permian aged Poole and Upper Grant Formations below the base of the Noonkanbah
Formation shales. These shows have some similarities to those observed in the equivalent formations on the Lennard
Shelf (Sundown and West Terrace accumulations).
Once section TD of ~1,200 metres is reached the significance of the shows will be investigated by wireline logs, and if
considered sufficiently encouraging, by wireline pressure and sampling operations. 7” casing will then be set and the
well will be drilled ahead to the Ungani Dolomite primary oil objective below 2,100 metres.
The well is located on an all weather drilling pad approximately one kilometre off the Ungani access road within
Production License L21, 97 kms east of Broome and 3.3 kms southwest of Buru Energy’s Ungani Oilfield in the
Canning Basin of northwestern Australia.
Equity and contributing interest for the well are as follows. The well is being drilled under the terms of the Ungani
Development Funding agreement with Diamond Resources (Fitzroy) Pty Ltd.

The primary well objectives are conventional hydrocarbons in the
Laurel lower (Ungani Dolomite) section.
Since the last progress report, the well has been drilled ahead in 8-1/2”
(216mm) hole from the 9-5/8” (244mm) casing depth of 311 metres to
the current depth of 1,060 metres.
Intermittent oil shows consisting of spotty and trace fluorescence and
cut have been observed in individual sandstone beds interpreted to be

Lennard Shelf (Sundown and West Terrace accumulations).
Once section TD of 1,200 metres is reached the significance of the
shows will be investigated by wireline logs, and if considered
sufficiently encouraging, by wireline pressure and sampling operations.
7” casing will then be set and the well will be drilled ahead to the
Ungani Dolomite primary oil objective below 2,100 metres.
