Amplitude Energy ( (AU:AEL) ) has issued an update.

Amplitude Energy has begun drilling the Elanora-1 exploration well, the first well in its East Coast Supply Project, using the Transocean Equinox rig in the VIC/L24 permit area of the offshore Otway Basin, close to existing Casino, Henry, Netherby pipeline infrastructure. The well is targeting a gross mean prospective gas resource of 161 Bcf in the Waarre A reservoir, with Amplitude holding a 50% interest alongside joint venture partner O.G. Energy, and management highlighting a relatively high estimated chance of geological success that could underpin future tie-backs into the company’s established infrastructure and support gas supply to Australia’s East Coast domestic market. Drilling and evaluation of Elanora-1 are expected to run for several weeks before the well is plugged and a sidetrack is drilled into the nearby Isabella prospect, which, if successful, will be logged, flow-tested, and completed with a subsea tree for future development, potentially strengthening Amplitude’s resource base and strategic position in the tight East Coast gas market.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:AEL) stock is a Hold with a A$3.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Amplitude Energy stock, see the AU:AEL Stock Forecast page.
