12,011 feet was the total depth drilled for the Wellington Park No. 1 Well in the Gippsland Basin, Victoria. The well was drilled between December 6, 1961, and April 3, 1962, by Oil Drilling and Exploration Limited for Woodside (Lakes Entrance) Oil Company NL, encountering no significant shows of oil or gas. The dataset, provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network, details the stratigraphy penetrated and the comprehensive logging and testing program conducted before the well was plugged and abandoned.
Use Cases
- Analyze drilling engineering and logging results based on the described program of mud logging, coring, and electric logging
- Study the stratigraphic column and sediment thicknesses based on the described intervals of Quaternary, Tertiary, and Mesozoic sediments
- Evaluate formation test outcomes based on the described open hole tests between 7348 and 9930 feet
- Assess the effectiveness of historical petroleum search subsidies based on the mention of the Petroleum Search Subsidy Act 1959
Strengths
- Provides a precise total depth of 12,011 feet and a detailed drilling timeline from December 1961 to April 1962
- Describes a multi-faceted data collection program including drilling engineering, mud logging, coring, cuttings examination, and electric logging
- Documents specific stratigraphic intervals penetrated, from surface Quaternary sediments to the Lower Cretaceous/Jurassic Strzelecki Group
Limitations
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
