Two Edvard Grieg Field Wells Completed By Lundin
Drilling Activity Details
Norway
Drilling Activity Summary
Description
Oslo-based Lundin Petroleum made two oil discoveries at exploration wells #16/1-31S (Jorvik) and #16/1-31A (Tellus East). The discoveries are on the edge of Edvard Grieg Field in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea in PL338 on the Utsira High. The #16/1-31S (Jorvik) encountered 30 m of oil in a conglomerate Triassic reservoir with thin, high-quality sandstone above. The well was tested at an anticipated flow rate of about 130 bbl per day in the conglomerate interval, and pressure measurements show that the area is in communication with Edvard Grieg Field. The #16/1-31A (Tellus East) encountered a gross oil column of 60 m in porous, weathered basement reservoir. Tellus is on the northern edge of the field. The combined gross resources of Jorvik and Tellus East are estimated to be between 4 and 37 MMboe. The rig will stay in the Utsira High area to drill several shallow gas pilot wells as part of the Solveig development project. Afterward, it will move to drill the Goddo exploration well, #16/5-8S, in PL815 to test the Rolvsnes-weathered basement oil discovery into the adjacent license where the combined area is estimated to contain gross potential resources of more than 250 MMboe. Lundin is the operator of PL338 with a 65% working interest in partnership with OMV Norge, holding 20%, and Wintershall, with 15%.
