Beach Energy Ltd spudded the Lady Bay 1 gas exploration well in PEL 630, located in the Cooper-Eromanga Basin, in late March 2018.Â  On 20 April 2018 Beach Energy plugged and abandoned the well, at a total depth of 3,133 m, after only encountering gas shows.  The well was targeting a possible stratigraphic trap within the Patchawarra Formation, in an underexplored section of the âPermian Edgeâ play fairway, as a primary objective.Â  As a secondary objective the well targeted the Tirrawarra Formation.  PEL 630, which covers an area of 393 sq km, was awarded on 9 September 2014.Â  Participants in the licence are Beach Energy Ltd (50% + Operator) and Bridgeport (Cooper Basin) Pty Ltd (50%).
