Europa operates a number of exploration licences in the UK, some
with 'ready-to-drill' prospects.
In NE Lincolnshire, PEDL180 (33%) and PEDL181 (50%) licences
contain two prospective areas: the Wressle Prospect and the Caister
Horst. The seismic database over these two areas, comprising
a mixed 2D/3D vintage dataset, has been reprocessed and work is
ongoing to develop drilling locations. Prospect size is in
the region of 5 to 8 mmbo recoverable.
PEDL182 (33%) contians the Broughton oil discovery.
In the PEDL150 licence, where Europa drilled the Hykeham well in
2009, there is prospectivity in several structures, including the
West Whisby feature.
In the Weald Basin, Europa and its partners continue to work to
securing planning permission to drill the Holmwood-1 exploration
well, south of Dorking.
