Equinor Announces Results From Verbier Appraisal
Drilling Activity Details
Drilling Activity Summary
Description
Stavanger-based Equinor announced results from the Verbier appraisal well #20/05b-14 on the U.K. Continental Shelf in the North Sea. It was drilled to 3,784 m and, based on preliminary observations during drilling, the well did not encounter Upper Jurassic sands as anticipated. The current resource estimate is 25 MMbbl of oil equivalent. The well results will be integrated with the processed data from the 3-D seismic survey acquired in 2018 to evaluate the upside potential for further Verbier appraisal activity. A large part of the mapped area of the Verbier discovery, located to the northwest of #20/05b-14, remains untested. Additional resource potential, which was not tested with this well or the discovery well, has also been identified in a deeper horizon beneath the Verbier discovery. Partners in the P2170 License are Equinor, 70%, Jersey Oil & Gas, 18%, and CIECO UK, 12%.
