On 3 November 2018 Petrogas completed the A18-A5 infill deviated well at the A18-FA field with gas. The well was spudded on 9 October 2018 using the Maersk âResoluteâ J/U targeting shallower sand units (Q3.2 and Q4). The field straddles the A18a and A18c blocks and is located about 240 km north of the city of Den Helder.  The A18-FA field was discovered in 1987 with the A18-2 exploration well. It was put onstream in late 2015. A total of seven wells (including sidetracks) were drilled to date in the field. Its shallow reservoir is situated below a depth of 580 m in the Quaternary Upper North Sea Group. The gas is assumed to be biogenic sourced, and with zero condensate.  Interest in the A18a and A18c blocks is held by Petrogas E&P Netherlands BV (33.9% + operator), Dyas Netherlands BV (acquired by RockRose Energy plc in early October 2018, 13%), TAQA Offshore BV (4.5%) and Energie Beheer Nederland BV (48.5%).
