Greater Fyne

Greater Fyne Area

  • Three licences (4 blocks) in addition to the Fyne Licence
  • 100% working interest in all two licences, 50% in one other
  • 3-D seismic coverage over 100% of the licences
  • 12 drilling prospects mapped on 3-D seismic in the Eocene and Jurassic
  • 54.9 million barrels (P50 risked) resource identified on the Greater Fyne prospects
  • Drilling depths (Eocene Tay 5,500-8,000 ft, Fulmar 9,000-11,000 ft)
  • Infrastructure in the area – potential add on to the Fyne Development
  • Existing discoveries (by previous operators) made on the 21/29c and 21/24b blocks – West Teal and Riddon/Scavaig
  • Offsetting proven play trends established by the Guillemot, Pict, Saxon, Bittern and Teal Oil Fields and the recent Catcher oil discovery.

Antrim was awarded Blocks 21/28b, 21/29c (subsequently relenquished) and 21/24b&c in the 25th licensing round in the UK N. Sea. Antrim was further awarded Block 21/29d in the 26th licensing round, further concentrating its land position in the region.

Antrim farmed down 50% of the Erne Prospect (primarily located in Block 21/29d) to Premier Oil in April 2011.  A recent exploratory well on the prospect resulted in the the discovery of an oil and gas column (currenlty being evaluated). 

Antrim also plans to drill an exploration well on the Carra Prospect in 2012/13.   This exploration well is 100% Antrim and is primarily located on 21/28b and portions on 21/28a and 21/29d.

 The Company has identified 7 additional prospects in the Greater Fyne region.  These are named West Teal, Riddon & Scavaig, Owel, Sillan, Mask, Gill and Lene.

The Fyne region is just to the North of the recent Catcher discovery.
