About Orcadian Energy
Orcadian is a North Sea focused, low emissions, oil and gas
development company . In planning its Pilot development, Orcadian
has selected wind power to transform oil production into a cleaner
and greener process. The Pilot project is moving towards approval
and will be amongst the lowest carbon emitting oil production
facilities in the world, despite being a viscous crude. Orcadian
may be a small operator, but it is also nimble, and the Directors
believe it has grasped opportunities that have eluded some of the
much bigger companies. As we strike a balance between Net Zero and
a sustainable energy supply, Orcadian intends to play its part to
minimise the cost of Net Zero and to deliver reliable energy to the
UK.
Orcadian Energy (CNS) Ltd, Orcadian's operating subsidiary, was
founded in 2014 and is the sole licensee of P2244, which contains
78.0 MMbbl of 2P Reserves in the Pilot discovery, and of P2482,
which contain a further 52.2 MMbbl of 2C Contingent Resources in
the Elke and Narwhal discoveries (as audited by Sproule, with both
numbers modified to take into account the TGS royalty, see the CPR
in the Company's Admission Document for more details). Within these
licences there are also 118 MMbbl of unrisked Prospective Resources
(modified for TGS royalty). These licences are in blocks 21/27a,
28/2a and 28/3a, and lie 150 kms due East of Aberdeen.
Pilot, which is the field with the largest reserves in
Orcadian's portfolio, was discovered by PetroFina in 1989 and has
been well appraised. In total five wells and two sidetracks were
drilled on Pilot, including a relatively short horizontal well
which produced over 1,800 bbls/day on test. Orcadian's proposed low
emissions, field development plan for Pilot is based upon a
Floating Production Storage and Offloading vessel (FPSO), with over
thirty wells to be drilled by a Jack-up rig and provision of power
from a floating wind turbine.
Orcadian has entered into a conditional sale and purchase
agreement with Ping Petroleum UK plc ("Ping") which details the
terms under which Ping will farm-in to the Pilot development
project. Upon conclusion of this deal Orcadian would have an 18.75%
stake in the Pilot development with all pre-first oil development
costs paid by Ping.
Emissions per barrel produced are expected to be about a tenth
of the 2021 North Sea average, and less than half of the lowest
emitting oil facility currently operating on the UKCS. On a global
basis this places the Pilot field emissions at the low end of the
lowest 5% of global oil production.
