Production testing has been completed at the Vanessa-1 ST exploration well, which is located in PEL 182 that is 57% owned by Senex and the remaining by Drill Search.
During the testing, gas flowed to surface at an average rate of 5 million standard cubic feet per day (mmscf/d) from the Epsilon and Toolachee formations on a 65% choke (42/64 ths inch).
Additionally, material condensate was produced at a rate of 15 barrels per mmscf/d.
Currently, the company is undertaking additional analysis in order to confirm gas composition and associated liquids.
Senex managing director Ian Davies said: "With our progress at the Vanessa gas field, and stable production of gas and associated liquids from the Hornet gas field, we are moving closer towards a high value, sustainable gas business."
Drilled in 2007, the Vanessa-1ST gas exploration well identified gas in the Toolachee and Epsilon structures with stratigraphic upside.
