About Spanish Point
The Spanish Point gas condensate discovery is located in FEL 2/04 in
the Main Porcupine Basin some 200km off the west coast of Ireland.
The discovery well (35/8-2) was drilled by a consortium led by
Phillips Petroleum (and included the predecessor company to
Providence) in 1981 and flowed circa 1,000 BOPD and circa 5 MMSCFGPD
from 1 of 4 logged pay zones of Upper Jurassic age.
Providence has carried out a series of independent reports which
suggest that this field contains estimated contingent resources (2C)
of 1.4 TSCFG and 160 MMBO with significant upside potential both
within the field as well as in adjacent prospects.
Providence holds 72% equity in Spanish Point, whilst its partners,
Sosina and CMI hold 18% and 10% respectively.
