Operations in Germany

Licence – Pillgram

The Pillgram Licence lies in southeastern Germany adjacent to the Polish Border in the west of the South Permian basin, in which over 200tcf of gas has been discovered. The Licence was awarded to Celtique in July 2007 for an initial 5 year term and covers an area of 938 sq kms.

Celtique operates the licence with a 100% interest.

The reservoir objective is Permian Zechstein carbonates deposited in both barrier and talus settings. The key to exploring for both objectives is the application of seismic in the barrier facies and talus deposits in a downslope setting, allowing the recognition of potential stratigraphic trapping opportunities. Thick overlying salts and anhydrites seal the interval. The organically rich oil prone Zechstein shales provide the source for the system. The area has been under explored for a long period and the consequences of the large oil and gas discoveries in Poland have not been investigated fully.

A secondary objective is the Permian Rotliegendes sands. The interval is sealed by thick overlying evaporites and is sourced by the underlying Carboniferous shales and coals. The trapping mechanism is block-faulted highs.

Subject to permitting approvals, Celtique plans to shoot new seismic.

Licence – Guben

The Guben Licence lies in southeastern Germany adjacent to the Polish Border and south of Pillgram. The Licence was awarded to Celtique in November 2008 for an initial 5 year term and covers an area of 279 sq kms.

Celtique operates the licence with a 100% interest.

Previous exploration in the area has proved the presence of a gas reservoir in the Zechstein carbonates at Schlagsdorf. The Field is a northwesterly trending fault block. Based on well results the reservoir has high deliverability and the potential exists for a gas storage project.
