I like this bit which seems massive for a reservoir. imo
"Based on the results of the West Newton A-1 well and the three-component 3D seismic data volume identifying an aerial extent of approximately 4,500 acres for the Kirkham Abbey reservoir,"
The initial results from the appraisal well exceeded our expectations and have also shown a significant liquid hydrocarbon volume which further increased our excitement and is expected to materially increase the future value of the field. The deeper exploration target in the Cadeby formation encountered hydrocarbon shows with an oil saturated core.
The West Newton A-2 well was drilled as an appraisal of the West Newton A-1 discovery well. Based on the results of the West Newton A-1 well and the three-component 3D seismic data volume identifying an aerial extent of approximately 4,500 acres for the Kirkham Abbey reservoir, a Best Estimate Contingent Resource of 189bcfe of gas was identified in a Competent Persons Report compiled by Deloitte for Connaught Oil and Gas Limited ("Connaught") and dated 1 June 2017. Connaught was previously the 100% equity holder in Rathlin, which was in turn the 100% holder of the PEDL 183.
The West Newton A-2 well was spud on 26 April 2019 and, on 9 June 2019, reached a total depth of 2,061 metres. A full suite of open hole logs was run and 28 metres of core was successfully cut and recovered from the Kirkham Abbey Formation.
