By GlobalData“Parkmead has a 100% track record of drilling success in the UK Southern Gas Basin to date, with successful wells drilled at Platypus and Pharos.
“Our technical and commercial teams at Parkmead are working hard to evaluate and execute further value-adding opportunities in our core areas of the UK and Netherlands.”
The primary play fairway developed on this acreage is composed of Carboniferous sands that form the productive reservoirs in the nearby gas fields at Breagh, Kilmar and Cavendish.
Farne Extension, situated towards the north-west of Farne, has been identified as the most prominent prospect on the block.
In addition to Farne Extension, four further additional possibilities have been identified at Carboniferous level within the two blocks, all of which exhibit structural closures mapped at Base Permian level.
