Interesting extract from the June Tennyson Report for EOG. Link to full report below:
"Operator i3 Energy recently announced that it has booked a window for the arrival of the Stena Don semi-sub for the Serenity appraisal well, now confirmed to spud in early September. The highly anticipated well is targeting around 17 mmbbls net to EOG, which at US$15.4/bbl (NPV10), would be transformational in a success case. Given that the well is classified as appraisal, there is no independent geological chance of success, however we expect the well to have a better than one-in-two chance of meeting its objectives. Still, should it fail to prove an extension of the discovery, the c.10 mmbbls already discovered (c.2.5 mmbbls net to EOG) is expected to be commercial as a joint development with the
neighbouring Tain field, providing protection on the downside should drilling disappoint. "

The Serenity Drill has three primary objectives which are also the main risk factors affecting success:
1) Confirm the Oil Water Contact
2) Confirm the sand thickness to the west.
3) Confirm the extension of Serenity to the west.
The down side hedge as spell out above is that Serenity already has circa 10 mmbbls of reserves which could be commercially exploited in a joint development with Tain.
