Apache Corporation, declared noteworthy discoveries on two exploration wells in the Beryl area of the U.K. North Sea. The company also drilled two noteworthy development wells in the Beryl area, from which no reserves have been formerly booked. Additionally, Apache declared a large discovery at its Seagull prospect, which lies about 50 miles south of the companys Forties Field, the largest oil field in the U.K. North Sea.

The K and Corona wells are the first exploratory prospects drilled by Apache in the Beryl area. Each discovery proves a separate geologic concept that assists to de-risk additional drilling locations. Apache estimates the K and Corona discoveries, combined with the success at Seagull, represent likely net recoverable reserves of 50 million to more than 70 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMboe). Future appraisal drilling will enable the company to further define the upside potential beyond 70 MMboe. Apaches proved reserves in the North Sea at yearend 2014 were about 140 MMboe.

Apaches exploration program in the high-potential Beryl area is off to an exceptional start. The success of our first two exploration wells at Beryl, combined with the Seagull discovery, could improvement our total North Sea proved reserve base by more than 50 percent. Importantly, results obtained from the wells declared recently emphasize the quality of our seismic surveys and the accuracy of our geologic model in the Beryl area, Thomas E. Voytovich, Apaches executive vice president – International and Offshore and E&P Technology, said. Our large discovery at Seagull will likely have a longer investment time-horizon as it may require dedicated production facilities, but it is predictable to have a very meaningful impact on Apaches medium- and long-term production in the region. We look forward to discussing the economics and details of these discoveries, together with a review of our extensive North Sea prospect inventory during our North Sea Region webcast Nov. 17.
