Drilling Activity Summary
Description
Equinor announced results from two oil and gas discoveries at the Swisher prospect west of Fram Field in offshore Norway’s PL 248 C. Recoverable resources are estimated to have 13-38 MMbbl of oil equivalent. The #35/11-24 S encountered a hydrocarbon column of 42 m in sandstone layers in Heather, of which a 21-m interval was gas and 7-m interval was in sandstone of mainly moderate-to-good reservoir quality. It also hit a 21-m interval with oil and a 17-m interval sandstone with good-to-moderate reservoir quality. The #35/11-24 A encountered a total gas column of 25 m and up to 6 m in moderate quality sandstone in Heather with an approximate 3-m oil column in good-quality sandstone in Heather. According to the Stavanger-based company, the wells were not formation-tested. The Heather is in Late Jurassic at a depth of 3,000-3,600 m. Water depth in the area is 356 m.
