Spirit Energy Ltd. discovered gas at the Grove North East development well (49/10a-G7) on the UK Continental Shelf, close to the UK–Netherlands median line.
The well was drilled by Maersk Drilling’s Maersk Resolve heavy-duty jack up and targeted an unappraised north eastern segment of the field. It encountered carboniferous reservoir units at the target depth, with around 250 ft (gross) gas-bearing B & C sandstones present. The reservoir quality, sand thickness, and gas column height are within predrill expectations and G7 was completed for production.
Gas from Grove field is processed at the Markham J6-A facilities operated by Spirit Energy and transported via the West Gas Transport pipeline to the Den Helder terminal in the Netherlands for further processing.
Spirit Energy is operator at Grove field and Grove North East (92.5%) with partner RockRose Energy PLC (7.5%).
