Corrib South + farm in2 Jan 2020 21:18
Atlantic Margin - Corrib South
Predator has a 50% interest in licencing option 16/26 (“Corrib South”) together with its partner, Theseus (50%)
Corrib South lies only 20 km. south of the Corrib subsea gas gathering manifold making it a candidate for a potential subsea tie-back. Spare capacity is forecast to be available in the Corrib infrastructure within the likely time framework for drilling and potentially developing Corrib South.
The area of minimum closure for Corrib South is covered by the same 3D seismic survey that extends over the Corrib gas field.
The reservoir target in Corrib South are the Sherwood sandstones, the producing gas reservoir in the Corrib gas field, Mercia salt, as at the Corrib field, is expected to seal the reservoir which is also likely to have been charged from similar gas-prone Westphalian source rocks.
The size of the Corrib South structure in the maximum case, which depends on pre-2000 vintage 2D seismic coverage to the southwest, is similar to that of the Corrib gas field. Drilling and water depths are similar.
Attractive geology and a clear pathway to development and monetisation provide an appealing backdrop to Predator’s current farmout process.
Corrib South is located 18km from the Producing Corrib Gas Field Production
