It is thought that Hydrocarbon Finder LLC (HCF) was drilling an exploratory well in its onshore 1,390 sq km Block 15 (Jebel Aswad) licence between October 2017 and January 2018, however official details are yet to be reported. The well is believed to be located in the southern part of the block, near to the border of Block 27 (Wadi Aswad), and roughly 6.5 km northeast of Occidentalâs Nasiyah Far East 1 discovery well which completed as a Cretaceous Natih Formation producer in 2015.  According to the website of HCF on 7 March 2016, the company is planning to undertake a subsurface evaluation of the Jebel Aswad area in Block 15 (Jebel Aswad). It will also evaluate new leads and prospects, as well as looking at deeper reservoir potential in existing structures. Furthermore, in late-2016, HCF reported that it will commence a study to assess unconventional potential in the block however, as of November 2017, no further updates were available. In early-2016, a Royal Decree was issued endorsing Tethys Oil Ltd to concede 100% of its share of the Block 15 (Jebel Aswad) licence to ODIN Energi A/S (article 1), as well as endorsing Odin Energi A/S to concede 90% of its share quota, to HCF (article 2). The decree was enforced on the date of issue of the Official Gazette in which it was published. Therefore, HCF (operator) owns a 90% share in the Block 15 (Wadi Aswad) licence, Odin Energi A/S holds the remaining 10%.Â  Â  Â
