The licence is situated about 70 km north of Rotterdamâs harbour. The P9-A gas field straddles the P9a, P9b & P9d and the P9c, P9e & P9f licences. The field was discovered in August 2000 and put onstream in October 2009. Its reservoir is situated below 3,193 m in Scythian Volpriehausen Fm sandstones. Discovery well â P9-A â was drilled to a total depth of 4,009 m. The well test recovered 1,100 Mcfg/d from a 10 m interval through a 1â choke. Before the deal, interest in the licence was divided between Petrogas E&P Netherlands BV (80% + operator) and TAQA Offshore BV (20%). Â
