Drilling Activity Summary
Description
Equinor announced a significant discovery on the Norwegian continental shelf. Preliminary estimates place the size of the discovery between 75-120 MMboe of recoverable oil equivalent. Exploration wells #31/2-22 S and #31/2-22 A in the Blasto prospect are in production licenses 090, 090 I and 090 E between Fram and Troll fields. The #31/2-22 S encountered a total oil column of about 30 m in the upper part of Sognefjord and an oil column of about 50 m in the lower part of Sognefjord. Exploration well #31/2-22 A hit high-quality sandstone in Sognefjord, but the reservoir is filled with water and the well is classified as dry. The #31/2-22 S was drilled to 2,379 m and #31/2-22 A was drilled to 2,207 m. Water depth in the area is 349 m. The wells have been permanently plugged and abandoned and are the first two exploration wells in production license 090 I. Stavanger-based Equinor is the operator and partners are Var Energi, Idemitsu and Neptune Energy.
