Egdon Resources plc announced the commencement of drilling operations at the Biscathorpe-2 exploration well on licence PEDL253 in Lincolnshire. The well will be drilled to a total depth of about 2,100 metres below ground level and is expected to take around 30 days to complete. Biscathorpe-2 will target a combined structural/stratigraphic trap at a depth of over 1,800 metres below Mean Sea Level defined on reprocessed three-dimensional seismic data. The targeted Basal Westphalian sandstone reservoir is expected to thicken at the well location to the north of the crest of the structural high which was drilled by the Biscathorpe-1 well (BP, 1987) which found a 1.2m thick, oil saturated section of the sandstone reservoir. Egdon's AGM Presentation of 6 December 2018 provides further details on the Biscathorpe Prospect, including a cross section and a comparison with the geology of the Reepham field some 20km south west of Biscathorpe, just to the west of Fiskerton Airfield producing oil field. At the Reepham oilfield, the Basal Westphalian sandstone reservoir thickens dramatically off a 'structural high' over a very short distance and a similar development of the target reservoir is expected at Biscathorpe-2.
