Assets

Burgate’s strategy is to focus on acquiring discovered gas fields which have been ignored by the majors, but which are close to existing infrastructure. With new technology such as hydraulic fracturing, extended reach drilling and modern seismic processing technology these assets have substantial potential value.

Peel and Doyle Gas Prospects on trend with N Morecambe and Rhyl gasfields.
Morecambe Infrastructure nearby connecting to Barrow Terminal.
Triassic Ormskirk reservoir with excellent deliverability characteristics.

Doyle/Peel

Doyle has an area of 6 sq km and a relief of 400m. The amplitude display shows strong reflections updip reducing downdip, an indication of gas charge.
The Peel Prospect covers an area of 7.3 sq km and has a relief of 250 m. Reflection strength is similar to that at Rhyl where the gas column is 110m.
Rhyl Gas Field block 113/27b discovered 2009 and commenced production 2013. Reserves 80 bcf, 32 bcf gas produced to April 2018
