The license is adjacent to Azinor’s Partridge licence P.1989, containing Blocks 14/11, 14/12 and 14/16. Under the terms of the agreement Catalyst will acquire 50% working interest in P.2243 from Zennor and become operator. Catalyst has committed to an enhanced technical work program utilizing its recently acquired 3D Geostreamer seismic data and significant knowledge that the company has developed in the area over recent years.
Following the completion of this work program the company will make a drill decision with a potential well scheduled for 2018.
“This is a nice addition to the portfolio, the new Geostreamer seismic over the prospect confirms the simple structure whilst providing some further insight into the geological setting. Whilst we see this as incremental to the area development, the prospect on its own is robust. Zennor have done a great job in identifying the potential and our additional work on the Geostreamer will enhance our understanding and hopefully further de-risk prior to any potential drilling event,” Henry Morris, Azinor Catalyst technical director said.
“This additional acreage compliments our existing position in the area and is adjacent to our exciting Partridge prospect that we are looking to test with the drill bit in the near future. We look forward to working with our partners Zennor North Sea Limited to progress this license forward,” Nick Terrell, Azinor Catalyst, managing director said. “This deal is directly in-line with our strategy of building a material portfolio of high value UKCS assets, whilst leveraging our technical, commercial and operating capabilities.”
