Project Profile
Location: Block 15/12a, Outer Moray Firth, UK
Licence award: January 2013
Licence Relinquishment: January 2017
This Traditional licence is located immediately north of the world class Piper oil field. The primary prospectivity on the licence comprises Palaeocene deep-water mass flow channel sands with numerous commercial field analogues in adjacent acreage. Oil shows were encountered in well 15/12a-2 which confirms the presence of an active hydrocarbon migration pathway on the licence. The well sits down dip of the primary prospect on the block, a mapped 4-way dip closure called Zeta. The outstanding work commitment on the block is to obtain 2D Electro-magnetic data over the Zeta prospect and to integrate this data with existing seismic and geotechnical data. Azinor Catalyst will be seeking partners to join in the drilling of an exploration well to test the prospect.
