Barryroe Update
San Leon, the specialist oil and gas company with an extensive
portfolio of assets across Europe and North Africa, notes this
morning's announcement from Providence Resources plc ("Providence")
of the technical update by Providence on the Barryroe oil discovery
in the North Celtic Sea Basin, offshore Ireland. San Leon
announced, on 23 December 2011, that the Company has assigned its
30% working interest in Standard Exploration Licence 1/11 to
Providence in exchange for a 4.5% NPI on the full field. San Leon
Energy will not pay any further appraisal or development costs on
the Licence.
The full announcement by Providence stated the following:
TECHNICAL UPDATE
Barryroe Oil Field

PRODUCTION & WATER INJECTION WELLS
o MODELLED RECOVERY FACTOR OF 31% TO BE USED FOR DEVELOPMENT
PLANNING
-- DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT ENGINEERING CONTRACT AWARDED
Providence Resources P.l.c., ("Providence") the Irish oil and
gas exploration and development company, whose shares are quoted in
London (AIM) and Dublin (ESM), is pleased to provide a further
update on its Barryroe oil field in the North Celtic Sea Basin,
offshore Ireland. Providence (80%) operates Barryroe on behalf of
its partner Lansdowne Oil and Gas plc (20%). The area is located in
Standard Exploration Licence (SEL) 1/11 and Licensing Option (LO)
12/4, situated in c. 100 m water depth and is c. 50 km off the
south coast of Ireland.
Providence has recently undertaken static and dynamic modelling
of the main Basal Wealden oil bearing reservoir interval. This
work, carried out by RPS Energy on behalf of the Barryroe partners,
incorporated the data from all five Basal Wealden reservoir
penetrations, together with maps derived from the recent 3D seismic
survey. This study has established oil recovery factors which range
from 17% to 43%. Based on a development scenario involving 41
horizontal production and 22 horizontal water-injection wells over
a 25 year field life, a recovery factor of 31% is modeled. These
horizontal producer and injector wells are designed to be 600m in
length, with the producers incorporating gas lift.
Providence is also pleased to announce that the Barryroe Concept
Development Engineering Study contract has been awarded to Procyon
Oil & Gas. This study will evaluate a number of preferred
development options which were high-graded during the recently
completed development screening study.
Speaking today, John O'Sullivan Technical Director of Providence
said;
"These reservoir and dynamic modelling studies have identified
significant productive potential in the Basal Wealden reservoir,
which is consistent with the test and other data that we have
previously announced. These results will now be factored into our
ongoing field pre-development work where we have kicked off a key
engineering study to identify and select the optimum development
concept. As part of this study, we will obviously consult and
solicit feedback from both regulatory and local stakeholders on an
ongoing basis."
