The Australian subsidiary of Chevron drilled the well in 4,869ft of water to a depth of 12,461ft.
Chevron vice chairman George Kirkland said the find at Vos-1 represents the company’s twelfth offshore discovery in Australia since mid-2009.
Chevron operates the WA-439-P permit with a 50% interest, while Shell Development (Australia) holds the remaining 50% stake.
