Beach Energy has achieved first gas from its Udacha gas field in South Australia.
The firm, with its joint venture partner Rawson Resources, confirmed the Udacha-1 well has been tied back as a producing well to the Middleton production facility, with initial production expected to stabilize at 1.0 million standard cubic feet per day (MMscf/d).
The output is expected to rise to 1.6 MMscf/d when compression is available at Middleton in early 2017.
The flow will provide Rawson with its first ever production revenues.
“The commencement of production from Udacha-1 represents a significant milestone for Rawson. It is the first ever production for the company, providing a revenue stream to Rawson,” a spokesperson said.
Rawson has a 10% stake in the block.
