It bought 10% of the Daniel license from Isramco, in exchange for an option to buy 5% of the rights in the Sarah license.There has been great interest in the Daniel license ever since Isamco announced several interesting drilling prospects were found by a 3-D seismic survey on a 200- square-kilometer section of license earlier this year. Isramco has declined to publish the survey’s data, saying that the finding are only “leads” and do not include the geological chances of success.
