On 4 March 2020 Equinor completed a farm-in, into two UK licences â P2277 and P1891 taking a 50% interest from Total in both licences which contain the Finzean prospect. Total is planning to drill exploration well 12/30-2 on its Finzean prospect. The company is planning to use the Noble Sam Hartley rig for drilling operations. Finzean comprises of stacked turbidite sands from Lower Cretaceous to Upper Jurassic in age (Punt, Ettrick and Burns sands) and is thought to be large enough for a stand alone development with pre-drill resources estimated 290 MMboe.    Finzean is located across licences P2277 and P1891 and is a pinch-out of two Lower Cretaceous turbidite Punt Sands (one locally and one regionally sourced) on the north-eastern flank of the West Bank High. The prospect is sealed by overlying Lower Cretaceous Valhall shales and laterally by faulting and stratigraphic pinch-out. There is underlying potential in the Jurassic (previously known as Ferrick and Ulysses) which comprise of pinch-outs of the Upper Jurassic Burns and Ettrick sandstones against the West Bank High. Ferrick and Ulysses are sealed by the surrounding Kimmeridge Clay and laterally by faulting and pinch-out. All reservoirs are sourced by the Kimmeridge Clay to the north of the West Halibut Basin.     Interest in the licence is now held by Total E&P North Sea UK Limited (50% + operator) and Equinor UK limited (50%).
