The firm intersected a gross gas column of approximately 64m at the Thalin-1A well with approximately 62m of net gas pay interpreted within the primary target interval.
Located in water depth of 836m in the northern part of the Rakhine Basin approximately 60km west of the Daewoooperated producing Shwe Field, the well has been drilled to a total depth of 3034m.
The presence of gas column was confirmed following completion of wire line logging through pressure measurements and gas sampling.
In January, Woodside discovered gas at the Shwe Yee Htun-1 well in Block A-6. The well targeted one of the identified channel complexes that run over the Saung Anticline.
Woodside CEO Peter Coleman said the two discoveries are located at opposite ends of the Rakhine Basin.
Coleman added: "These results are very encouraging for future exploration and appraisal activity, given the significant footprint we have in Myanmar."
"These discoveries provide evidence of the high quality of offshore Myanmar as an exploration focus area."
Daewoo International operates the AD-7block with 60% stake while Woodside Energy holds the remaining 40% interest.
At present, Woodside has stakes in six blocks, which represent 20% of its global exploration acreage, within the Rakhine basin.
