4. Hurricane Energy’s Lancaster discovery is a game changer
for the UK oil industry
07:00 10 Sep 2016
Lancaster could be the first step in a new oil play for the UK which according to Hurricane Energy boss Robert Trice could “run into billions of barrels of recoverable oil”.
The early indications from Hurricane Energy Plc’s latest well at the Lancaster field could have game changing implications not just for the West of Shetland area, but for entire North Sea and the UK.
Results from a pilot appraisal well have confirmed a massive 620-metre oil column, deep in basement rocks.
