Angus Energy plc said it would use new seismic data to reinterpret and remap Lidsey oil field near Bognor Regis, West Sussex.
COMPLETE PICTURE
Previous seismic mapping failed to define the reservoir accurately, prompting the company to link the newly acquired data to existing seismic lines across the structure in the vicinity of the two existing wells.
Further work on the processing, particularly processing to depth, is needed but Angus said it was now in a position to start the work.
“The preliminary work suggests that the historical mapping should be discarded and the structure mapped afresh using the new data and with further work to tie in two historical wells nearby at Middleton and Pagham (outside of the Lidsey Field) to provide depth and structural control,” said the company in a statement.
“This additional data should provide a more complete picture.”
