Newgrange is indicated for drilling 2019/20 (AVALON indicated drilling is 2021) LONGWAIT,..with a, "Work up well location and site survey programme for shallow NEWGRANGE exploration well", indicated under "Forward Activities".
This info, is all in the PVR Presentation link, in my last post.
PVR also mention "Twin track farm-out process" under "Forward Activities",(in Presentation link),....having already proven in 2017, that farmouts are now achievable,....I'm looking for a twin farmout of Newgrange & Barryroe,....if no more Farmouts are achieved, my view is, PVR & LOGP will go ahead with the drilling of Barryroe alone,...personally do not expect to see PVR drill Newgrange alone.
The "TOTAL FARM-IN" to AVALON you mention;-
"₋ Farm-in agreed with TOTAL E&P Ireland B.V. (�TOTAL�), a wholly owned subsidiary of TOTAL S.A
₋ In consideration for TOTAL taking a 50% working interest and operatorship in LO 16/27, TOTAL agreed to:
₋ Pay its pro-rata share of past gross costs of c. US$ 0.175 million
₋ In addition to its pro-rata share, pay 21.4% of the past and future costs during the 2-year term of LO
16/27, subject to a gross cost cap of US$ 1.33 million
₋ TOTAL also agreed that, in the event that the JV agree to convert LO 16/27 into a Frontier Exploration Licence,
and a subsequent decision is taken to drill an exploration well, TOTAL will pay 60% of the drilling costs, subject
to a gross well cap of US$ 42 million
₋ Subject to this, the resultant equity in LO 16/27 will be TOTAL 50% (Operator), Providence 40% and Sosina 10%
 CAIRN OPTION
₋ Exclusive Option agreed with Capricorn, a subsidiary of Cairn Energy PLC , where Capricorn has the right to
farm-in to a 20% working interest in LO 16/27 from Providence and Sosina
₋ The Option can be exercised by Capricorn within 60 business days of the completion (plugging and abandoning)
of the 53/6-1 well on Frontier Exploration Licence 2/14
₋ In the event that Capricorn exercise the option, Providence, Sosina and Capricorn will enter into an agreed
Farm-in Agreement to effect the transfer of a 20% working interest in LO 16/27 to Capricorn, based on the
following terms where Capricorn will:
₋ Pay its pro-rata share of past gross costs of c. US$ 0.175 million
₋ In addition to its pro-rata share, pay 8.6% of the past and future costs during the 2-year term of LO 16/27,
subject to a gross cost cap of US$ 1.33 million
₋ Capricorn also agreed that, in the event that the JV agree to convert LO 16/27 into a FEL and a decision is taken
to drill an exploration well, Capricorn will pay 24% of drilling costs, subject to a gross well cap of US$ 42 million
₋ In the event that Capricorn exercises the Option, the final equity in LO 16/27 will be TOTAL 50% (Operator),
