Tullow Oil has discovered gas in the Vincent prospect in block E11 in the Dutch North Sea. Exploration drilling started in October 2013, and the well was drilled to a TD of 4,027 m (13,212 ft). It encountered a 72m (236-ft) gas column with net pay of 25 m (82 ft) and flowed 64 MMcf/d (1.8 MMcm/d) on test. The result has opened the under-explored Netherlands Carboniferous sub-crop play that has proven successful in the UK North Sea. Ensco-92 rig was contracted for drilling of the prospect.
