Quadrant Energy and Carnarvon Petroleum have sewn up most of the acreage around the Dorado oil discovery but there are active permits nearby held by junior companies looking for partners, writes Russell Searancke.
Quadrant and Carnarvon are partners in four permits — blocks WA-435-P, WA-436-P, WA-437-P and WA-438-P — that cover nearly all the Bedout sub-basin.
The Dorado and Roc finds are in WA-437-P while the Phoenix and Phoenix South finds are in WA-435-P.
