At Horse Hill, where Alba holds the second largest shareholding in the Operator, Horse Hill Developments Limited (HHDL), following some impending upgrades to site facilities HHDL is due to commence a 150-day production testing programme on the Portland and Kimmeridge KL3 and KL4 reservoirs, with the objective of confirming the presence of a commercially viable oil volume. This will enable us to then make a declaration of commerciality.”
“This significant point in the development of the Horse Hill Project having been reached, and with production expected from the Brockham site in which Alba is alsoinvested, Sue’s technical advice and support will be invaluable as we enter this potentially transformational phase for the Company.”
