Shell has found gas with its exploration well 41/05a-2 on Licence P2252 in the southern North Sea, 30% partner Deltic Energy said in a London Stock Exchange announcement January 11. Shell, which has 65%, has recommended a full well testing programme be undertaken, and this is now to go ahead and should last about 30 days.
Deltic CEO Graham Swindells said: “We are very pleased to have encountered hydrocarbons in the Pensacola exploration well at this intermediate stage of well operations. We now look forward to working with the Operator on the well testing programme, and will update the market once that programme is completed.”
One-Dyas is the third partner, with 5%.
