Exploration

The well in licence VIC/P43 intersected a gross gas column of 69.5 m in the Upper Waarre Formation, including 62.9 m of net gas pay, with a gaswater contact intersected at 1990 m measured depth.

The contract covers consolidation of development, exploration and P&A activities in the Dutch and UK sectors of the North Sea.

Preliminary estimates place the size of the discovery between 12 and 19 million m3 of recoverable oil equivalent, corresponding to 75-120 million bbl of recoverable oil equivalent.

GlobalData's latest report, Morocco Exploration & Production, reveals that Morocco is on the brink of unlocking its gas potential - even though the country is not a major producer and imports most of its gas.

The grants are part of the Australian government’s Beetaloo Strategic Basin Plan to bring gas from the Beetaloo’s resources into the market by 2025.

The three-year donation provides students at Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS access to Halliburton Landmark’s DecisionSpace® suite of exploration and production software.

OGUK Sustainability Director Mike Tholen has responded to a story published recently in The Sunday Telegraph which suggests UK ministers are considering declaring the beginning of the end for the North Sea oil industry with a ban on new exploration licences.

The partnership allows iMbokodo, a women-led company, to advance energy exploration throughout Southern Africa with a focus on empowering local community development alongside every upstream project.

The crew is operating with an 80 000-channel 508XT land acquisition system, complete with QuietSeis® digital sensors, and 10 Nomad 90 Neo broadband vibrators in challenging desert terrain.

Under the terms of the agreement, ADNOC and Petronas will jointly explore opportunities for collaboration in the exploration, development, and production of conventional and unconventional hydrocarbon resources in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.

The campaign involves geophysical data collection, heat flow measurements, core sampling and onboard geochemical analyses, which aim to optimise future exploration activities offshore Suriname.

Recoverable resources at exploration well 7220/7-4 in production licence 532 are so far estimated at between 5 and 8 million m3 of recoverable oil, corresponding to 31 – 50 million bbl of recoverable oil.

The second phase will expand on the phase one acquisition initiated in 2020 to add a second azimuth over CGG’s existing Northern Viking Graben 3D survey offshore Norway.

The approximately two-month survey is expected to commence in 3Q21 covering an estimated 2700 km2.

The company now holds a 45% interest in the project in Lincolnshire, UK.
