... Therefore, tests to date did not assess the potential of the zones associated with the 12 hours of strong crude oil odour and oil at surface as previously reported on 3(rd) May 2023.
Additionally, new geochemical analyses undertaken by UK/Norway based APT Ltd demonstrate that both the Pinarova mud-pit oil sample and oil samples from the nearby shallow seismic shot-hole seep are a geochemical close match and most likely originate from the same Mesozoic age oil source rock, located beneath the general area of the shallow Pinarova structure.
With this in mind, should further testing be positive, consideration is being given to the acquisition of a small 3D seismic programme to identify a possible deeper oil pool, seepage/spill from which being the most likely primary source of both the seep and Pinarova oils.
