Western Blocks – Rig Contract Executed
88E, via its 100% owned subsidiary Captivate Energy Alaska, Inc., has executed a rig contract for the drilling of the Winx Prospect, located on the Western Blocks, North Slope of Alaska.
The Winx -1 well will test a 3D seismically defined oil prospect in the successful Nanushuk play fairway comprising multiple stacked objectives with a gross mean unrisked prospective resource of 400MMbbls (144MMbbls net to 88E) and a geological chance of success in the range of 25-30%.
For further details related to the transaction, please refer to the announcement dated 25th June 2018.
Cautionary Statement: The estimated quantities of petroleum that may be potentially recovered by the application of a future development project relate to undiscovered accumulations. These estimates have both an associated risk of discovery and a risk of development. Further exploration, appraisal and evaluation are required to determine the existence of a significant quantity of potentially moveable hydrocarbons.
88 Energy Ltd Managing Director, Dave Wall, commented: “The execution of a rig contract is an important milestone for the Consortium as plans progress to drill the large Winx prospect in the first quarter of 2019.”
