Wandagee No. 1 Well: Stratigraphy and Hydrocarbon Data from Carnarvon Basin, 1962

Wandagee No. 1 Well was drilled to a total depth of 3521 feet between April 25 and June 12, 1962, in the Carnarvon Basin of Western Australia. The dataset likely contains results from a full program of logging, testing, and coring, detailing the stratigraphy from Quaternary sand to the Silurian-Ordovician section and the Tumblagooda Sandstone. It was compiled by West Australian Petroleum Pty Limited and subsidized under the Petroleum Search Subsidy Act.

Use Cases

• Model subsurface stratigraphy based on described geological formations and depths.
• Assess historical hydrocarbon potential based on recorded gas traces and drillstem test results.
• Study drilling operations and outcomes for wells subsidized under the Petroleum Search Subsidy Act.

Strengths

• Provides specific drilling dates (April 25 to June 12, 1962) and a precise total depth (3521 feet).
• Description details a complete logging, testing, and coring program and specific geological formations encountered.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
