About Deltic Energy Plc
Deltic has created a strategically located portfolio of high-quality gas exploration licences in the Southern North Sea over a number of licensing rounds. These licences are located in areas that have been underexplored despite significant discoveries such as Tolmount, Breagh, Pegasus and Cygnus, most of which have gone on to be developed and could provide ready access to export infrastructure for any future developments on Deltic's licence acreage.
About Pensacola
Pensacola is a Zechstein Reef prospect located to the north west of the Breagh gas field in the Southern North Sea. Deltic estimates the prospect to contain gross P50 Prospective Resources of 309 BCF, with a 55% geological chance of success, which will rank Pensacola as one of the highest impact exploration targets to be drilled in the gas basin in recent years.
