Apache's near field exploration well 9/14b-16 over the Titan prospect had been P&A by 2 January 2018. The well spudded on 5 November 2017 using the "WilPhoenix" semi sub in 121m WD, and PTD was 2,187m MD (2,164m TVD) targeting Tertiary injectites between the Horda and Heimdal formations similar to the Corona discoveries (14km SW), with Pmean prospective resources of 43MMboe, potentially rising to 119MMboe (P10 case). Titan is part of Apache's ongoing near field small discoveries campaign, and was drilled on part-block 9/14b, licensed under P1985 which also contains the abandoned Leadon oil field and lies adjacent to the E of Beryl Field. P1985 was awarded in the 27th Seaward Licensing Round on 1 January 2013 for four years initial term (later extended by one year), with firm commitments to shoot 105 sq km of 3D seismic ahead of a drill or drop to 4,267m to the Late Jurassic J60 horizon. Equity partners are Apache Beryl I Ltd (77.22% + Op) and Shell subsidiary Enterprise Oil Ltd (22.78%).
