† marks a published resource figure — the panel at the top of this page and the rows above — with no primary source on file. It covers those figures and nothing else. Every other number on this page — in the prose, the milestones, the development notes and the answers — is outside it, and many of those have no source recorded at all and carry no mark either, so the absence of a mark says nothing about them. Where a field has no published figure, the absence is explained in the text and cannot be marked.

A 2C contingent resource, a gas-in-place figure and a two-field hub estimate measure different things and are never summed here. What each category means →

Overview

Discovery announced in December 2022, ~5 km west of Cronos-1: 105 m of net gas pay in carbonates, 2–3 tcf gas in place (official 2022 estimate ~2.5 tcf). No further appraisal since; a candidate for a second-phase Block 6 development cluster with Calypso once Cronos is onstream.
