East Midlands play list

East Midlands basins area: Action.  Note please, this is a June 2021 snapshot of work which is ongoing, and our views are steadily updating. Please also look at the disclaimer which follows!

Grade
Eakring & Kelham 3 E & K Visean fractured limestone at EC6, untested at Caunton/Kelham. Positive result at Newark South would high-grade.. Open.
Eakring 2 Eakring untested footwall closure, requires side seal in Tournaisian. Buy the data, map, decide on farmin potential. Oil and gas play. Licensed.
Newark South 1 Large untested EC6 and Lower Carboniferous closure, multiple targets EC6 to Tournaisian. Quality prospect, licence when offered. Oil and gas play. Open acreage.
Hardstoft 1 Hardstoft discovery unappraised, with extension to east. Licensed and warrants drilling..
Calow 1 Gas-remaining under-estimated, 4-5 bcf likely recoverable. Fractured reservoir potential, too. Stranded gas, local pipeline would be accepted. Licensed.
Ironville 1 Deeper, offset structure at Ironville untested, target likely a few km east of EC6 closure. Shoot more seismic, re-map, a target is likely to be confirmed a few km east of Visean closure. Oil. Licensed.
Strelley 1 Trap in oil-proven Lower Carb under tuff caprock, warrants acquisition for definitive maps. Buy Strelley data and re-map, licence when possible. Oil. Open acreage.
Long Eaton/Widmerpool 2 Widmerpool Anticline main structure by Long Eaton is not tested at Tournaisian. Buy the data, map, decide on farm-in potential. Gas. Licensed.
East end Widmerpool 3 Rempstone downflank, Lower Carb potential trap. Map again for possible farmout. Oil and gas play. Licensed.
Needwood Basin 3 A large inversion at base Carb/top Old Red remains untested. Map for possible farmout. Oil and gas play. Open acreage.
Edale Basin 2 SW flank inversion plays, like Calow. Map these, not done yet! Needs Tournaisian source rocks. Oil and gas play. Open.
Gainsborough Basin 1 Clarborough footwall break-backs. Lower Carb mud mounds: shoot 3D. Oil. Licensed.
Gainsborough Basin 2 Clarborough footwall: focus Grove-3 dolomite trend. Lower Carb hangingwall and mud mounds: mapping project. Licensed.
Gainsborough Basin 3 Newton footwall. Lower Carb inversion, mapping project, mainly unlicensed.
Welton area 1 Welton Field culmination offset NE in Lower Carb is untested. Re-map this structure, good chance deeper closure lateral to production. Use 3D. Oil and gas play. Licensed.
Nettleham field 2 Abandoned, is worth re-mapping for Lower Carb closure. Oil and gas play. Licensed.
West Firsby 2 Re-map for Lower Carb closure. Apply restorable structure model. Oil and gas play. Licensed.
Corringham 2 Re-map for Lower Carb closure. Apply restorable structure model. Oil and gas play. Licensed.
Glentworth 2 Re-map for Lower Carb closure. Apply restorable structure model. Oil and gas play. Licensed.
