The well was drilled to a total depth of 2950m recently and encountered shows over much of the target Jurassic interval, according to the company.
The company said the well had tested a single play type and had given the company and its partners in BNG useful information for de-risking the forward exploration program.
Following the abandonment of well 135, BNG will re-evaluate the current drilling program to incorporate new prospects being generated from the newly acquired 3D seismic, which completed processing in December.
Roxi Petroleum CEO David Wilkes said that the company is disappointed that well 135 failed to find producible hydrocarbons, however it has learnt valuable information about the trapping potential of the Jurassic reservoirs, and will use this to increase the success rate of future exploration drilling on the block.
