Waddock Cross is mapped as having mean oil in place of over 30 million barrels. The plan for the first phase of the development is to drill two further horizontal producer wells by 2015. Egdon estimate gross Proven and Probable Reserves for the field for this initial phase at around 300,000 barrels of oil.Elsewhere in the licences Egdon has identified a number of leads and prospects at various reservoir levels including the Sherwood Sandstone, the primary reservoir at the Wytch Farm oilfield. Two prospective structures at Casterbridge and Broadmayne are identified where Egdon evaluate combined gross Best Estimate Prospective Resources of around 50 million barrels of oil. A 3D seismic programme is planned to evaluate these structures later in 2013 and should enable the licence group to identify the best location for a future exploration well, currently anticipated for 2014.Commenting on the transaction Mark Abbott, Managing Director of Egdon said:

“This transaction would realise cash for the wider business whilst maintaining a material interest for Egdon in the Waddock Cross field development and the high potential Wessex Basin exploration prospects. We can look forward to first oil from the Waddock Cross oil field development in the third quarter of 2013 and the commencement of 3D seismic acquisition later in 2013 which should enable us to identify the best location for a possible exploration well on the high impact prospects of Casterbridge and Broadmayne.After a period of limited activity in these licences the planned increase in activity means that our Wessex Basin assets now have the potential significantly to drive near-term shareholder value.”
