The well will target the Brent sequence of sandstones at a drilling depth of 11,300 feet approximately two kilometers northeast of a previous discovery that tested 1,272 barrels of oil per day (bopd) from the Jurassic Tarbert formation.
The Kerloch prospect is located on a tilted fault block approximately 10 kilometers northeast of the Cormorant North oil field and 10 kilometers northwest of Antrim’s Causeway discovery that tested 14,500 bopd from the Jurassic sandstones.
