BASS BASIN LABATT 3D SEISMIC SURVEY ACQUISITION NOW COMPLETE
Tap Oil Limited ("Tap") advises that the Labatt 3D Marine Seismic Survey, within Bass Basin permit T/47P, was completed on 1 January 2008. A total of 524.6 square kilometres of full-fold prime 3D data were acquired.
Tap Comment
The primary aim of the Labatt 3D Seismic Survey is to mature leads in the vicinity of the Cormorant-1 well (which encountered oil in 1970) into drillable prospects. Several leads have been identified from existing 2D seismic data in this area, approximately 45 km northwest of the Yolla oil and gas field in the adjoining permit.
Final seismic volumes from the survey will be available for interpretation/analysis in the second quarter of 2008 and a rig has already been secured for two wells to be drilled on the defined prospects early in 2009.
Tap is very pleased to be rapidly progressing the work programme of T/47P, which was only awarded in March 2007.
PA Resources AB has signed an agreement with the shareholders to acquire the entire share capital of the British oil exploration company Scotsdale Ltd. The company is focusing on low risk exploration in North West Europe. The acquisition means that PA Resources increases its presence in the North Sea with licenses in the United Kingdom and Denmark, and potentially also in the Netherlands.
Aker Exploration has entered into agreements with the international oil company Eni Norge to acquire ownership interests in two licenses in the vicinity of the Åsgard field. The agreements further strengthen Aker Exploration’s position in the Norwegian Sea.
SCAN Geophysical ASA (SCAN) today announced that the company is
remobilising its seismic vessel, M/V Geo Searcher, to re-commence a previously-suspended
2D project offshore Pakistan for BP.
The Norwegian Petroleum Directorate (NPD) has granted ENI Norge AS a drilling permit for wellbore 34/12-1 in the North Sea.
Eni has successfully drilled the last appraisal well, encountered approximately 127 metres (419 ft) of net pay in multiple sands. The initial analysis indicates good reservoir quality.
