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.
