The Main Pass 18 and Main Pass 103 leases were previously held by Mobil and have produced a combined 2.5 million barrels of oil and 100 billion cubic feet of gas, according to a Petsec statement yesterday.

“The leases are adjacent and to the north of Petsec Energy’s Main Pass 19 lease where the first two wells in the current three well drilling programme have each discovered seven gas sands. Development of these discoveries has commenced and commercial production is expected to begin early in the fourth quarter of 2005.

After royalties Petsec has an 83.33% net revenue interest (100% working interest).
