The well would be drilled to 2,000m and target three conventional sandstone reservoir intervals, the Triassic Sherwood Sandstone, Lower Permian Sandstone and Carboniferous Sandstones.
The P50 prospective resources have been estimated by the joint venture at 25m barrels of oil within the Woodburn Forest prospect.
“Following completion of the drilling, the well will be plugged and abandoned and the site will be restored to its former state. In the event of encouraging results from the well, any re‐establishment of the site for further works, such as testing, would require further consents and planning approval,” Infrastrata said in a statement.
