Cabot is discussing with a potential partner the farmout of its so far wholly-owned C.R146.NP (620 sq km) ahead of drilling of the planned Vesta-1 nfw off SE Sicily. At present it is unclear if discussions also involve the adjoining C.R149.NP (102 sq km), also open for farmin. Contact: Keith Bush K.Bush@northpet.com, or Carlo Caldarelli: C.CaIdareIIi@northpet.com.
Cabot Energy announced on 28 September 2018 that is was in discussion with a potential partner for its C.R146.NP exploration permit offshore southeastern Sicily to share the costs of the drilling of the Vesta 1 wildcat on the Vesta prospect. It is not clear if discussions are also involving the adjoining C.R149.NP permit. The Vesta prospect contains two large prospective horizons analogous to the neighboring Vega oil field.
