In March 2020 Spark Exploration was still seeking potential partners to prove the extension of the Rona Ridge Basement play in licence P2407 (blocks 205/14a and 205/19). The acreage contains high quality Basement and conventional prospectivity on trend with Hurricaneâs Basement Play and BPâs Clair field. The Bader prospect is located on the Rona Ridge within a mega-closure including the Lancaster and Halifax discoveries. The company previously derived two prospective resource scenarios relating Bader to the Halifax discovery. Scenario A had a 21% geological chance of success and classed the prospect as an independent accumulation from Halifax where the OWC could be different due to faulting. Scenario B classed the Bader prospect as a continuation of Halifax with the same OWC. The largest estimated resources were interpreted from scenario B and in Spark's latest presentation (March 2020) only scenario B was detailed. The mean STOIIP was estimated at 4,256 MMbbl with 956 MMbbl mean recoverable prospective resources (22.5% recovery factor). Spark has a fully funded two-year work programme with commitments of 3D PSDM reprocessing, G&G studies and a drill or drop decision in September 2020.  The Bader prospect is defined on high quality 3D seismic data with similar basement fault networks to Lancaster and Halifax. Image logs in the south west area of the Halifax discovery display numerous open fractures which could extend into Bader. Spark interpret that no significant displacement of the Basement is observed across the âWest Fault Zoneâ which borders its acreage to Halifax, therefore itâs unlikely a lateral seal is present between Halifax and Bader. The crest of the structure is 800 m TVD and the Kimmeridge Clay acts as the source rock to Bader. Licence P2407 was awarded on 1 October 2018 in the 30th Seaward Licensing Round.  Shell drilled the only exploration well in the acreage to date. Exploration well 205/14-1 was drilled in August 1990 to a depth of 9,170 feet. The well was drilled to test a Lower Palaeocene objective on the downthrown side of a major Tertiary fault but was plugged and abandoned as a dry hole.    Interest in P2407 is held solely by Spark Exploration UK Ltd (100% + operator).
