Valiant Petroleum reported that drilling has commenced at the Tryfan prospect (Valiant, 33.33%) located in UK Block 3/17 and operated by Apache North Sea Limited.

Tryfan is an Eocene channelized sand play in the UK Northern North Sea which benefits from a strong seismic amplitude response.

Tryfan has gross prospective resources estimated internally by Valiant to be 24 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMboe) or net 8 MMboe. The well is estimated to take around 25 days to complete.
