Horizon Oil Limited ( (AU:HZN) ) has provided an announcement.

Central Petroleum has announced that its new West Mereenie 29 well has been successfully tied-in and has commenced gas sales, achieving a production rate of 7 TJ/d, which is double the pre-drill expectations. This result, attributed to updated air drilling techniques, enhances the company’s Mereenie sales capacity and highlights the reliability of onshore production amidst market demand due to the Blacktip production halt. The second well, WM30, is expected to further increase capacity when it comes online in early March.
