Nunaoil has an ongoing 12.5% interest in the block.


Two drilling campaigns by Cairn worth $1.2 billion in 2010 and 2011, have so far failed to yield commercial quantities of oil and gas, although the company says it has been encouraged by some hydrocarbon finds and would look to bring in partner firms to conduct further searches.
