Ithaca Energy discovers hydrocarbons at K2 prospect
Ithaca Energy (UK) Ltd. discovered hydrocarbons at the K2 prospect in license P2382, Block 22/14c, Central North Sea. The operator will perform an appraisal sidetrack in the main bore.
Upon entering the reservoir, Ithaca discovered 45 ft net thickness of hydrocarbons in the Forties Member sandstones. Logs were acquired to establish reservoir quality and further analysis of the well results will be performed to determine future activity and the recoverable resources estimate.
Water depth at the site is 294 ft (90 m). Drilling targeted the Forties Member sandstones (OGJ Online, Jan. 5, 2023).
Ithaca Energy is operator at K2 (50%) with partner Dana Petroleum (50%).
