Oranje-Nassau Energie has acquired the 30% interest held by Ineos in P1630. The deal is believed to have completed in April 2018 and makes Oranje-Nassau the sole holder of the licence which contains the Crosgan discovery.  Licence P1630 was awarded in the 25th Offshore Licensing Round and comprises blocks 42/10a, 42/15a and 42/15c covering a total area of approximately 52 sq km. The licence contains Crosgan which was discovered in 1990 with well 42/15a-2 drilled by Total. The discovery wellâs Bunter objective at 1,162 m -1,202 m was found to be water-bearing. However, the Permian Hauptdolomit tested at 7.63 MMcfg/d (post acidisation) and a Carboniferous aged reservoir tested at 15 Mcfg/d. Appraisal drilling took place in early 2015 and further gas was confirmed in the Carboniferous.
