WestSide Corporation Limited (ASX:WCL) Paranui Coal Seam Gas Drilling Update

Brisbane, June 18, 2010 AEST (ABN Newswire) - WestSide Corporation Limited (ASX:WCL) is drilling up to three new appraisal wells at its Paranui coal seam gas (CSG) pilot in ATP 769P near Moura in Queensland's Bowen Basin.

The Paranui #11 well is the first of three appraisal wells which will aim to test gas and water flow rates from the Baralaba coal seams.

Selected coal seams in the three new appraisal wells - Paranui #11, 12 and 13 will be underreamed and cavitated before the wells are completed for testing of gas and water flows.

The performance of these cavitated vertical wells will be compared to the results from the existing three Paranui pilot wells which were subjected to fracture stimulation treatments.

The Paranui #11 well spud on 2 June 2010 and reached its final depth of 1,035m after intersecting 30 metres of gassy coal. The coal seams have been underreamed and are being cavitated further.
