The Tolmount discovery lies in Block 42/28d of the P1330 license, approximately 40mi east of the Yorkshire coast in the southern North Sea, UK.
Block 42/28d was first awarded to Dana Petroleum Exploration & Production (E&P) in December 2005. E.ON E&P farmed into the project in 2010 buying 50% equity, and operatorship of the project.
E.ON sold its entire UK exploration and production (E&P) assets to Premier Oil (Premier) in April 2016, transferring ownership and operatorship of the Tolmount field to the latter. Premier and Dana Petroleum E&P each own a 50% interest in the field.
Tolmount is one of UK’s biggest gas prospects since Breagh, and has significant upside potential. First gas from Tolmount is targeted for 2020 at a peak production rate of around 250 million cubic feet a day (mmcfd).
