Europa Oil & Gas, the AIM quoted West Africa, UK and Ireland focused oil and gas exploration, development and production company, today announced that the Oil and Gas Authority (now officially referred to as the North Sea Transition Authority) has granted a 5-year extension to the DL003 licence which holds the Company’s West Firsby asset, as such the licence will now expire on 31 December 2030. 

West Firsby (W.I. 100%)

The Company produces from three oilfields in the East Midlands – a 100% working interest in both the West Firsby and Crosby Warren fields and a 65% non-operated interest in the Whisby W4 well. Overall daily production is stable at approximately 110 barrels of oil, all of which is transported by tanker to the refinery at Immingham in NE Lincolnshire.

The West Firsby Field, which commenced production in 1991 and is 15km north of Lincoln, is the main operating base with two wells producing ~40bopd.

West Firsby provides an excellent opportunity to evaluate, test and prove the assorted technical aspects of CausewayGT’s geothermal systems. Located in the East Midlands, West Firsby is late in its productive life with nine wellbores with seven wellheads. The wellbores extend over an area of some 2.5 km² and extend to a depth of 1,680 m. The existing well bores, together with the availability of production and data which has been collected over the last 34 years and the geothermal gradient make West Firsby a good candidate for testing geothermal solutions.
