By GlobalDataThe company’s Immingham Refinery, an existing oil production at the Crosby Warren field, is situated at the westernmost end of the Brigg-Broughton anticline.
Europa Oil & Gas CEO, Hugh Mackay, said the identified four leads on PEDL 181 are located next to the PEDL 180 and 182 licences where the company plans to drill an exploration well, while results from producing oil field at Crosby Warren are positive.
"The results of the 2D seismic acquisition programme, alongside the interpretation of the reprocessed existing 3D datasets, will further define the prospectivity of the PEDL 181 licence and determine our future work programme," added Mackay.
The company has 50% interest in the PEDL 181 licence and is the operator, while Egdon Resources UK and Celtique Energie Petroleum holds 25% interest each.
