Italy’s ENI completed another wildcat on
its Goliat discovery in PL 229 in the
Barents Sea, Norway. This well, 7122/7-5,
and its companion sidetrack, 7122/7-5a,
split prospects with the main wellbore testing
Goliat West and the sidetrack evaluating
the discovery structure. The field is
some 50 kilometers southeast of Snohvit
and 85 kilometers northwest of
Hammerfest. The sidetrack proved up an
oil column in Kobbe and that resource will
be added to the discovery well’s reserve
potential.
