Century Exploration Inc and Concordia Resources, LLC have agreed to undertake Pre Stack Depth Migration ("PSDM") processing on 150 sq km of Onnia 3D seismic data to earn an option to drill a well in the permit. The companies will earn the 80% interest by funding the cost of drilling and, if warranted, testing and suspending one well. NorWest and West Oil's interests will reduce to 10% each.
Century and Concordia are focussed on the existing discovered oil pools on the Puffin Horst and using their experience in the Gulf of Mexico to bring these fields on stream cheaply and effectively.
They have six months from the date of signing the formal farmout agreement to complete the PSDM processing and interpretation.
