W-E E Seismic E 3D Line
• This is a E 3D seismic Line starting over the Deep Basin, within unlicensed land
just north of the North Ben Nevis Oil field
• The line crosses over into Parcel 1, intersecting a series of rotated fault blocks
bounded by down-to
to-basin normal faults on the northwesterly plunge of the
Amethyst Ridge
• The line then intersects the North Amethyst field located directly on the crestal
zone of the Amethyst Ridge. North Amethyst K-15 K
well has a 51 m oil column
and 69 m gas column
• The section then crosses into the southernmost part of the White Rose South Pool
intersecting the F-04 F
well location. Both White Rose F-04 F
and F-04Z F
encountered
oil and gas in Ben Nevis sandstone extending the South White Rose e pool
• To the east, line terminates into Crown land
• Within this section, the Egret Source Rock is present as are the traditional
reservoirs of the JDB; the Jeanne d’Arc, d
Hibernia and Avalon-Ben Nevis
sandstones that may be trapped in one-way, two-ways ways and three ways fault
closures; some independent closure may also exists
• Stratigraphic trapping of Paleocene sandstones deposited as channel nel or basin floor
fans may also be present
