The target reservoir was Eocene Balder aged sandstone and the key risk was reservoir presence and quality.
The well was drilled to a depth of 4005 m below sea level with the Diamond Ocean GreatWhite drilling rig in a water depth of 1452 m. The target interval contained 44 m of siltstone and claystone with gas shows but the well did not encounter reservoir quality sandstone. As a result, the well was plugged and abandoned.
The P1854 partnership is Siccar Point (33.34%, operator) and Ineos (66.66%). Jonathan Roger, CEO of Siccar Point, commented: “We look forward to continuing to explore the area, which we believe still has prospectivity, and will be looking at participating in forthcoming UK licensing rounds in order to do that.”
