Omega Oil and Gas Limited has commenced mobilisation for the fracture stimulation and flowback program at the Canyon-1H well in Queensland’s Bowen Basin. Preparations are progressing smoothly, with fracture stimulation operations scheduled to begin on 2 March 2025.
Trevor Brown, CEO and managing director of Omega, highlighted the significance of the project, stating:
“The commencement of this programme is a major milestone for Omega. It represents years of careful planning, rigorous analysis, and commitment from our team and investors. The objective is clear—to demonstrate potentially commercial flow rates from the Canyon Sandstone. A successful test will mark a significant step toward our broader strategic goals of enhancing shareholder value and contributing to Eastern Australia’s energy security by unlocking the Canyon Project’s potential.”
Project Mobilisation and Timeline
All camp facilities and catering services have been successfully deployed and commissioned at the Canyon-1H site. Flowback and production testing equipment, along with personnel, are now on-site.
Mobilisation of key equipment began on 26 February 2025, including:
✔ Frac spread and pumping services
✔ Coiled tubing unit
✔ Wireline unit
✔ Auxiliary equipment
Rig-up and equipment commissioning are currently underway. The fracture stimulation and flowback testing program is expected to last 5-7 days, followed by a 30-day flow test to assess production potential.
