East Orphan Basin • Orphan Basin is a widely stretched Mesozoic rifted area located north of Grand Banks of Newfoundland. The shallow part of the basin was unsuccessfully explored in the late seventies-early eighties when 5 wells were drilled on basement highs • A deep water well, Blue H-28, drilled a rotated block bald of Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous, without encountering hydrocarbons • Based on new 2D seismic data interpretation, the drilled eastern part of the basin is considered more prospective for gas while the East Orphan Basin situated mostly in deep and super deep water has great oil potential as it was an earlier Tethyan rift (Enachescu et al., 2004 and 2005) • The basin was connected in Late Jurassic to Jeanne d’Arc and Flemish Pass and W. Ireland basins during its Mesozoic evolution • Eight large ELs (1073 to 1081) covering 21,250 km were awarded to Chevron Canada (50%)/ExxonMobil Canada (EMC) (25%)/Imperial Oil (IO) (25%) in 2003. The partnership later included Shell Canada that took a 20% interest from EMC and IO • The partnership conducted two large 3D surveys in their licenses Enachescu, NL DNR 2009
East Orphan Basin • Great Barasway F-66 well operated by Chevron was drilled in 2006/7 in EL 1076. This well set a Canadian record for deep water drilling in a water depth of 2338 m; the well TD’d and was abandoned at 6749.9 m • F-66 well found good Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous reservoirs and Late Jurassic source rocks. However the reservoirs were wet and only several shows were encountered • At least a dozen of other large structural and stratigraphic traps were identified in the basin with the two large proprietary 3D surveys and several dense 2D grids existing in the basin. These prospects remain to be drilled • A consolidation of the Chevron and ExxonMobil operated lands into two ELs (EL1073R and EL1074R) took place in 2008; at the time the EL 1075 and the north-eastern part of EL 1080 were relinquished to the Crown • An exploration well is planned for the spring/summer of 2010 • A large part of the petroleum prospective East Orphan Basin remain un-licensed and opened for company land posting Enachescu, NL DNR 2009
