A drill-or-drop decision was due for PL509S, PL509BS, and PL509CS by July 23.
The decision follows an assessment of results obtained from reprocessedseismic data, the application of Rex Virtual Drilling (RVD), and electromagnetic surveys.
Prospective sands in Paleocene sandstones in thecentral Viking graben were found to be marine channel deposits and thin, making mapping more problematic. Although RVD analysis revealed anomalies, these were not sufficiently large to pursue.
