In a statement today, the Perth-based company said under the farm-in it would take a 5% stake in Block 11/29 from Canada’s Ithaca Energy, in return for paying 7.5% of the exploration well, which was spudded three days ago.

Estimated dry hole well cost is $US17 million.

The Manuel prospect is located about 12km west of the Beatrice oil field in the Inner Moray Firth basin.
