Total spudded exploration well 206/4a-4 on the Glendronach prospect in block 206/4a (P1453). The block, located in the West of Shetlands, contains the producing Edradour field and the 206/4a-32 Spinnaker discovery. Total used the âStena Donâ semi-sub for the drilling, which was on contract to Total as of 20 May 2018. The well was spudded on 27 May 2018. On 29 August 2018 Total confirmed that it had run the 7â liner at 4,310 m and was operating at TD at 4,312 m. On 24 September 2018 Total announced that the well had made a gas discovery with good reservoir quality and permeability and approximately 1 Tcf of recoverable resources. The well encountered a 42 m gas column in high quality Lower Cretaceous reservoir. The discovery will be tied-in to the Laggan and Tormore infrastructure.   Edradour was brought onstream in 2017 along with Glenlivet which are both tied back to the Laggan and Tormore development. The Edradour and Glenlivet development is expected to contribute an additional production capacity of up to 56,000 boe/d and has a 15 year lifespan. Edradour, which has a Cretaceous reservoir with good petrophysical properties, was discovered in 2010 by Total with well 206/4-2. In a 2016 paper from Total it was mentioned that two upsides were identified in the vicinity of Edradour. âProspect Aâ is a Black Sail fault panel, downthrown to the west of Edradour, this remains undrilled. The other updside was the Spinnaker discovery.  Interest in the development is held by Total E&P UK Limited (60%) and INEOS E&P (UK) Limited (20%) and SSE E&P UK Limited (20%).
