Amplitude Energy Announce Success at Juliet-1

01/10/2026 Posted by Rachel

Amplitude Energy have announced success at their Juliet-1 well. Juliet-1 is an exploration well in the Offshore Otway Basin, Victoria, located in permit VIC/L24 within Commonwealth waters, adjacent to the existing Casino, Henry, Netherby (CHN) pipeline. Amplitude Energy is operator and 50% interest holder in VIC/L24 with O.G. Energy holding the remaining 50% interest.

Amplitude announced that preliminary drilling and logging data recorded elevated gas readings in the Waarre C reservoir (intersected at 2,129 metres TVDSS). These gas peaks coincide with elevated resistivity readings observed on Logging While Drilling (LWD) tools, consistent with probable hydrocarbon presence.

A formation evaluation program via wireline logging was conducted between 8 - 9 September 2026 to collect pressure and sample data.

Amplitude Energy Spud Juliet-1, offshore Victoria

On August 24, Amplitude Energy announced they had commenced drilling Juliet-1 in Victoria waters, targeting 48.8 Bcf prospective gas resource with an 84% success probability. The well, in joint venture with O.G. Energy, aims to evaluate gas quality and potential development, with results expected in 20-25 days.

Juliet-1 is an exploration well located in permit VIC/L24 within Commonwealth waters, adjacent to the existing Casino, Henry, Netherby (CHN) pipeline.

The Juliet prospect is supported by high Waarre C reservoir amplitudes, and a clear ‘flat spot’ at approximately 2,300m True Vertical Depth Sub-Sea (TVDSS) implying gas-water contact, both of which contribute to a probability of geological success of 84% (as reported by Amplitude Energy).

Bookings Open – Barry Goldstein Medal Lecture Tour

04/02/2026 Posted by Rachel

Our worthy winner of the 2025 Barry Goldstein Medal, Dr Bruce Ainsworth, begins his lecture tour shortly generously sponsored by Santos. Over 5 weeks, he will visit each state branch and give his presentation "Honouring the Humble Clinoform: Towards a Reservoir Modelling Best Practice". Bruce is an excellent geologist and engaging presenter so attendees are in for a treat. Bookings for these events are now live on the website.

The Barry Goldstein Medal was created by PESA to recognise the value of innovation, collaboration and communication in Energy Geoscience as we pursue a clean sustainable energy future.
