The North Stockyard field continues to come back on line as the remaining three development wells (Billabong, Ironbank 6 and 7) are fracked. 5 existing wells around these wells remain shut-in whilst the recently drilled wells are fracked to prevent any damage to the well bores from this fracking activity. Harsh winter conditions have slowed the fracking operation.
