Jamaica Walton-Morant Block
United Oil & Gas Plc are seeking a partner to help accelerate the exploration of their large, 22,400 km2 100% operated Walton-Morant Block, located offshore southern Jamaica.
Only 11 wells have been drilled in the country to date; 9 onshore and just 2 offshore, all drilled between 1955 and 1983. None of these wells are now interpreted to have tested valid structures, although all contained hydrocarbon shows. Prior to United joining the licence, various vintages of pre-existing 2D seismic were combined and reprocessed, with 3,650 km of new 2D data acquired in 2016 and 2017. This helped further delineate and unlock the potential of the Walton Basin in the west and Morant Basin in the east of the acreage and led to the acquisition of 3D seismic over the Walton Basin ‘sweet spot’ in 2018.
