Project partner Valiant Petroleum told the London Stock Exchange that the well on the prospect had reached a total depth of 9333 feet, hitting a chalk zone of over 280 feet.
The well had exhibited oil shows throughout, though the shallower, secondary tertiary target sands were not found in the well location.
Initial interpreting of the wireline log data suggested the well had found a 50 foot pay zone above a large chalk interval with low average oil saturations.
