Harvey 1 stratigraphic well: early drilling outcomes. South West CO2 Geosequestration Hub

1st January 2013

Topic(s): Carbon capture use and storage (CCUS), CO2 storage

The Harvey 1 well was drilled between 7 February and 23 March in 2012 on farmland at Lot 1326 Riverdale Road in Harvey. The site is part of Western Australia’s Swan Coastal Plain which lies to the west of the Darling Ranges, and the well was sunk into the southern part of the Perth Basin. Harvey 1 was a stratigraphic well designed to provide data and core samples from the underlying rock strata. When combined with information from subsequent research projects, this data will be used to build a model of the subsurface formations and to simulate CO2 injection scenarios. Following the completion of the data acquisition program from Harvey 1, the well has been plugged at several levels with cement, capped at the surface and the drill site is being remediated to its previous condition.
