STANDARD EXPLORATION LICENCE 5/08 AMERGIN
Licence 5/08 incorporates part-blocks 47/25, 48/21 and 48/22 on the north-western flank of the North Celtic Sea Basin. Situated in water depths of c.100 metres, the blocks cover an area of 449 sq kms and are approximately 30km from the south coast of Ireland.
- Two large structures, Amergin and Eremon, have been mapped at Jurassic level.
- Amergin is a tilted fault block with a primary reservoir objective in Upper & Middle Jurassic sandstone & oolithic carbonate sequences. The primary Jurassic reservoir target tested at a rate of 6,467 bopd in the Gulf Oil 49/9-2 discovery of the Helvick Field in 1983. Secondary reservoir targets may exist in deeper Jurassic (Sinemurian) sandstones and shallower Cretaceous (Wealden) sandstones.
- The Eremon structure is a northeast-southwest trending horst block mapped at Jurassic level, the only structure of this type identified on the northern flank of the basin.
- Lansdowne acquired 489 kms of new 2D seismic data in May 2008 over both the Amergin and Eremon structures.
- This data has been processed and interpreted.
- The new 2008 2D seismic data has resulted in much better imaging of the Jurassic structures and has confirmed Amergin as a robust structural closure.
