Local industry sources suggest, Terrain Energy Limited is offering farm-out opportunity for the contracts Egmating and Starnberger See in southern Germany. The company is believed to be progressing with the project near the location Holzkirchen â geothermal project that, upon drilling a well in 2016, encountered gas â offering a negotiable working interest in the blocks to progress with the development of the resource. Interested parties should contact Terrain Energy in the London office at info@terrain-energy.com, +41 20 7518 1714, or the office in Germany at +49 89 5908 1227.  The 586 sq km Egmating and the 927 sq km Starnberger See permits are located in the Bavaria political province, near the city of Munich. In a geological sense, the tracts are situated within the Alpine Foreland (Molasse Basin).  Exploration opportunities in the area include conventional exploration, unconventional exploration, appraisal/development of the Holzkirchen discovery, as well as re-development of vintage oil and gas fields in the area. The conventional hydrocarbon exploration relates to the Tertiary clastic series. Targets for unconventional exploration could involve the Permian series (if/where present) and organic-rich series of the Jurassic age (Liassic/Dogger mudstones and shales), but progress with these projects is rather unlikely owing to legal and political hindrances.  Background Information  The Egmating permit was granted to Terrain Energy effective 1 December 2014 (the contract replaced previously existing block Bruckmuehl (BruckmÃ¼hl), purchased from Bell Exploration). The tract was offered for a four-year validity term, until 30 November 2018. During the first two years of the contract validity, the company is obliged to reprocess scientific 2D seismic datasets available for the area.  The Starnberger See contract was awarded to Bell Exploration Limited of the UK on 1 December 2011 (Bell was holding the tract with the partner Concorde Energy Inc of the US). The tract, located just south of the city of MÃ¼nchen, is valid until 31 December 2016.  On 12 December 2013 Bell Exploration sold the BruckmÃ¼hl (now Egmating) and Starnberger contracts See to Terrain Energy.  A geothermal well drilled in 2016 at the location Holzkirchen in the southwest of the Egmating licence made a gas discovery in the Rupelian sandstone series.
