Drilling Activity Summary
Description
IGas Energy is underway at a Bowland Shale exploration well, #1-Springs Road, in North Nottinghamshire, East Midlands, U.K. It is the second well of an integrated exploration and appraisal program to define the Gainsborough Trough Basin. A previous well, #1-Tinker Lane, was drilled at the edge of the basin and encountered a shale interval before penetrating the targeted Dinantian Limestone. However, the shales encountered did not include targeted Bowland Shale. London-based IGas is the operator, and Total holds a 40% stake in license area PEDL 140.
