Drilling projects
The fracture stimulation of petroleum wells in Western Australia has been undertaken since 1958, with approximately 780 fracture stimulations performed with no observed or reportable adverse consequences.
The well list (PDF 89kb) summarises wells drilled in Western Australia that have been subjected to some form of fracture stimulation (data from the petroleum well records held by the Department of Mines and Petroleum).
More information is available from DMP’s online systems Petroleum Geothermal Register and Western Australian Petroleum and Geothermal Information Management System (WAPIMS).
