Wildcat, Appraisal Wells In Norway Offshore PL 340 Completed By Aker
Drilling Activity Details
Drilling Activity Summary
Description
In offshore Norway’s production license PL 340, Aker has completed wildcat well #24/9-12 S and appraisal well #24/9-12 A. The #24/9-12 S was drilled to 2,251 m and was targeting Eocene (Intra Hordaland group sandstones). The well hit a 10-m oil column in Hordaland group with good reservoir properties. Three 5-m, oil-bearing, partially cemented sandstone layers were encountered higher up in Hordaland group. The objective of #24/9-12 A was to delineate the discovery and obtain information for the placement of a potential development well. The appraisal hit an oil column of about 30 m in reservoir sandstone layers in Hordaland group with good reservoir properties. Preliminary estimates indicate 5-10 MMcm of recoverable oil. The #24/9-12 A was drilled to 2,162 m and was terminated in Hermod (Paleocene). Area water depth is 120 m. Oslo-based Aker BP is the operator of PL340 with a 65%working interest, with partners Point Resources (20 %) and Lundin AB (15%).
