LO 16/21 and LO 16/22 in the latest licensing round, located in the South Porcupine, Slyne and Padraig basins, respectively. LO 16/19 has the potential to hold up to 1 billion barrels of oil equivalent gross mean un-risked indicative resources.
“I am delighted to confirm award of four new Licensing Options and to provide investors with some more technical background regarding the licenses. I hope that investors can now begin to understand how important this license round has been for Europa’s ongoing corporate development,” said Europa CEO Hugh Mackay in a company statement.
“All our licences have the potential to be high impact and each one could be a company maker for Europa in the event of drilling success. Europa is potentially exposed to 4 billion barrels of oil equivalent and 1.5 trillion cubic feet of gross mean un-risked indicative and prospective resources across the seven licenses.”
