The Midlands

The Midlands region has been an area of active hydrocarbon exploration since the early 1900’s with oil and gas currently produced in a number of fields from rocks of Carboniferous age. Egdon's licence interests are located in the counties of Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire and Staffordshire.

Play Types:

Carboniferous oil play - Westphalian and Namurian sandstone and Dinantian carbonate reservoirs
Carboniferrous gas play - Namurain, Westphalian and Dinanatian sandstone reservoirs

Prospectivity:

Keddington Oil Field - Producing
Eakring Abandoned oil field - rejuvenation project
Nooks Farm gas discovery - PEDL141 - Dinantian sandstone (Onecote Sst) flowed gas at 1 mmsfgd.
Branston-1 oil discovery in PEDL138 - potential off-flank in thickening sands.
Everton-1 gas discovery in PEDL139/140
Numerous structural leads and prospects identified both oil and gas potential

Planned Activity:

Production Optimisation from Keddington
Potential additional drilling at Keddington - 2009
Eakring North Prospect and Eakring-Dukes Wood rejuvenation project - well planned for Q4 2008
Appraisal of the Nooks Farm gas accumulation - PEDL141- 2008-09
Regional prospectivity evaluation
Potential exploration drilling in 2009
