Coal seam gas explorer Comet Ridge Limited has spudded the Scrubber Gully 2 well earlier this morning, at its ATP 337P Mahalo asset in Queensland's Bowen Basin.

Scrubber Gully 2 is the first of four step-out core holes to be drilled following the recent drilling of pilot production wells in the Mira field. Scrubber Gully 2 is located approximately 5.2 km southeast of the Mira field pilot wells and is approximately 245 km west of Gladstone in central Queensland. The well is expected to reach a total depth of approximately 500 metres.

Scrubber Gully 2, and three further step-out core holes, will be cored through the reservoir section to further extend the area available for booking reserves in the Mahalo block.
