Drillsearch Energy (DLS) and Santos (STO) have formalised their joint venture in the Western Cooper Wet Gas project.

In a statement to the Australian Securities Exchange, Drillsearch said mutual due diligence conditions for the transaction have been satisfied and the group expects the partnership will deliver a material result.

Santos has acquired a 60% interest in the project and committed to fund a $100 million to $120 million program to accelerate wet gas commercialisation (see Santos' cash pipeline).

Drillsearch said it has secured a firm gas sales agreement for production at the project.
