Drilling Activity Summary
Description
Operator Rathlin Energy announced preliminary results from appraisal well #2-A West Newton in PEDL 183, East Yorkshire, U.K. It was drilled to 2,061 m and 28 m of core has been extracted from the primary target, Kirkham Abbey, with a net 65-m hydrocarbon-saturated sample including a significant liquids component, which correlates with results from discovery well #1A-West Newton. The well also encountered hydrocarbon shows within the deeper secondary target, Cadeby, which have proven to be consistent with #1A-West Newton. Prior to the drilling #2A-West Newton, a best estimate contingent resource indicated 189 Bcf of gas equivalent. An extended well test is planned to establish flow rates. Partner Union Jack holds a 16.665% interest in this license containing #1A-West Newton discovery well and #2-A West Newton.
