  • 2005 - Eon acquires the field in the Caledonia deal

+++ Geology

  • The field has a structural trap, fault bounded to the SW and dip-closed to the north, east and south. This field geometry has been established using high quality 3D seismic data, enhanced by seismic attribute analysis. The sandstone reservoir interval consists of the Early Permian, Lower Leman Sandstone Formation of the Upper Rotliegend Group. This reservoir consists of a series of interbedded aeolian dune, fluvial, and clastic sabkha lithofacies. The quality of the reservoir is variable and is principally controlled by the distribution of the various lithofacies. The top seal and fault bounding side seal are provided by the overlying clay stone of the Silverpit Shale Formation and the evaporite dominated Zechstein Supergroup.
