At today’s Egdon Resources plc (AIM:EDR) Annual General Meeting a new company presentation will be given (“AGM Presentation”) containing updates and further detail of the Biscathorpe-2 well.
Of note are:
- Following completion of site construction – expected in early December 2018 – we will mobilise a conductor rig to set surface casing (the conductor).
- We expect to mobilise the drilling rig immediately in early January 2019 with well completion expected in mid-February 2019.
- The AGM Presentation includes further details on the Biscathorpe Prospect including the estimated range of Prospective Resources, a cross section and a comparison with the geology of the Reepham field some 20km south west of Biscathorpe, just to the west of our Fiskerton Airfield producing oil field.
- At the Reepham oilfield, the Basal Westphalian sandstone reservoir thickens dramatically off a ‘structural high’ over a very short distance and a similar development of the target reservoir is expected at Biscathorpe-2.
- The chance of success for Biscathorpe-2 remains 40% and the range of Prospective Resources is tabulated below (as estimated by Egdon).
Volumetric Input / Output | P90 | P50 | P10 | Mean |
STOIIP (mmbo) | 7.52 | 29.50 | 142.00 | 56.00 |
Prospective Resources (mmbo) | 1.84 | 7.30 | 35.30 | 14.00 |
Net to Egdon 35.8% interest (mmbo) | 5.0 |
The AGM Presentation will be available from 11:30 am today on our website at https://www.egdon-resources.com/
Mark Abbott, Managing Director of Egdon Resources plc, said:
“We look forward to spudding the exciting and potentially significant Biscathorpe-2 well early in the new year into one of the largest remaining undrilled onshore UK oil prospects where stratigraphic trapping – if present – could lead to significant upside for oil resources”
