Operational Update - Tinker Lane Well
IGas announces that, following spudding of the well on 27
November 2018, it has reached the TD (total depth) of the TL-1
exploration well at Tinker Lane in North Nottinghamshire.
This exploration well forms part of an integrated exploration
and appraisal programme to better define the basin consisting of
this margin sited well at Tinker Lane and a basin centred well at
Springs Road.
The drilling operations were completed significantly ahead of
schedule, largely as a result of improved drilling performance,
following detailed analysis of our previous experience. The well
was drilled on prognosis and encountered a shale interval before
penetrating the key Dinantian limestone geophysical marker. The
shales encountered did not include the primary target, the Bowland
Shale.
We will now conduct a comprehensive logging programme of the
well, which will be crucial to understanding the geological setting
and help to further refine our basin modelling. The results from
this well will further assist us in better defining the basin and
has satisfied our work programme obligation on the licence.
Commenting, Stephen Bowler, CEO said:
"Whilst the results of this well will help calibrate our
geological models of the region and has demonstrated further
improvements in drilling performance, we are naturally disappointed
not to have encountered the Bowland Shale.
The outcome of this exploration well does not change our view on
the prospectivity of our next target well at Springs Road, where we
believe a thick section of shale is present due to its more central
location in the basin and which we expect to spud in the first
quarter of 2019."
