Aurora Energy Resources is farming out from 100% in onshore PEDLs 164, 261, 262 and 267. The Lancashire and N Merseyside licences are prospective in the Early Carboniferous Bowland-Hodder shale play, and Aurora is seeking a partner to drill and test two wells in PEDL164 and acquire 3D seismic across the other licences. PEDL164 covers 100 sq km on SD30, was awarded in the 13th Landward Licensing Round on 1 July 2008, and contains the abandoned Formby conventional oil field. Aurora acquired a 3D survey in 2016 fulfilling the initial term commitments and moving into the second term which expires on 30 June 2019. PEDL261 - SD20 & SD21 (41.5 sq km), PEDL262 - SD40 & SD50 (200 sq km) and PEDL267 - SD62 (100 sq km) were awarded in the 14th Landward Licensing Round on 21 July 2016 and each has a drill or drop decision due on 20 July 2021. Aurora Exploration (UK) Ltd operates PEDLs 164, 261, 262 and 267 with 100% equity. Contact: Ian Roche (MD), Tel: +44(0)1244748414, Email: Ian.Roche@aurora-energy-resources.com
